(Minghui.org) Master teaches us,
“In the future the Dafa disciples will be able to see whether they've done well on this path of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. You'll even see vividly the little things that happened somewhere during your process of Fa-rectification.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.” from Teaching the Fa at the Conference II)
I came back to my hometown in 2012 and noticed that local practitioners were relying on other counties for their informational materials and Falun Dafa books. They did not have a material production facility or a Fa study group of their own.
I started to study the Fa intensively and share ideas with these practitioners, then decided to start a local Fa-study group. After a period of group Fa study, the practitioners became more aware of their responsibilities and started to set up Fa-study groups in their own villages.
Our local practitioners were doing well in delivering leaflets to homes in the evenings but thought it was hard to clarify the truth to people face-to-face. I wanted to change this outlook by collaborating with individual practitioners.
Initially I teamed up with practitioner Xiu [alias] to distribute CDs and persuade people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations in our local markets.
We went to each village to meet people in the markets and on the street. As I spoke to the person, Xiu sent forth righteous thoughts. Eventually, we could speak to each family in the village. After a few successful outings, Xiu could not wait to approach people himself. Then I started to encourage another practitioner in the same way.
After a period of teamwork, our practitioners matured. They were able to work well together. In this way, we made breakthroughs in face-to-face truth clarification.
We also strengthened our Fa study environment by inviting representatives from each village every five days. Together with our daily Fa study, practitioners in our area were doing better and better.
When it was time to file criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese dictator who initiated and directed the persecution of Falun Dafa, most of the practitioners in our Fa study groups were 100% committed. Those who focused on studying the Fa at home and working on themselves hadn’t written a single word.
I would like to remind our fellow practitioners: Working with other practitioners is the best way to upgrade our cultivation levels. Only by doing the three things Master asks can we catch up with the pace of Fa-rectification.
In the autumn of 2012, I identified two practitioners, Wang and Li [both aliases], as the best candidates to set up material production sites to make truth clarification leaflets. I asked them based on their overall abilities and family situations. But they both declined, saying they were not yet ready.
Later, after studying the Fa more and sharing my thoughts with them, they felt more confident. One of practitioner Wang’s family members, also a practitioner, even agreed immediately to help set up the site in their home.
He cleaned out a small room and hung up Master’s picture on the wall. The room suddenly looked sacred!
They then installed 3 color printers and other equipment. By the end of year, a few thousand calendars had been made. Over the past few years, the site has produced over 10,000 Dafa leaflets.
In the spring of 2013, practitioner Li also wanted to set up a material production site. He said he could see through his third eye that many Buddhas and other divine beings were flocking to practitioner Wang’s home.
Initially he set up a material production site to produce just Falun Dafa books, with more equipment to be added later. He did a good job!
On one occasion, Wang, Li, and I went to purchase paper for the 2014 calendars. The paper we bought didn’t work well with our printers. I told Wang and Li to search inwardly and study the Fa more to see if they had any shortcomings.
A few days later, I came across the paper seller, who admitted that the paper was not compatible with that type of printer and also that Wang and Li had paid him to upgrade to better quality paper.
As it turned out, Wang and Li didn’t want to tell me the cause of the problem. I felt ashamed that I had blamed them and told them to look inside. I should have been looking for my own problem! Later, I sincerely apologized and compensated them for cost of the upgrade.
In March 2015, practitioner Xiao [alias] and I were talking to people about the persecution when a police van suddenly appeared. A few officers got out and told us to get into the van.
I thought, “OK. Then I would like to save you this time.” I started telling them about the persecution of Falun Dafa. With Master’s help and practitioner Xiao sending righteous thoughts, I clarified the truth to them using a few examples.
They all listened carefully. Finally I told them that Dafa could save all beings and that it was my honor to tell them about it.
At the police station, they started to ask us questions. I told them sincerely not to ask us any questions or take notes, because I didn’t want to ruin their opportunity for salvation. I made it clear to them that the officers who had lost their positions recently were the ones who had persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners.
“Our Master taught us to save people, including you police officers,” I continued. “Please read our leaflets carefully with your family. They can save all of you by helping you get through the future catastrophe safely.” Then I started to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all evil elements in other dimensions that might impede those officers from being saved.
Three officers and a deputy director of the station listened to me carefully. In another room, practitioner Xiao was speaking to another officer and successfully persuaded him to quit the CCP.
Two hours later, the deputy smiled and said, “Please go home.”
