(Minghui.org) The coronavirus epidemic in China continues to worsen. Many cities and towns are locked down. People have fewer chances to talk to each other face to face, which greatly interferes with practitioners' clarifying the truth. Some practitioners in China have asked practitioners outside of China to help by making phone calls or sending messages to save the Chinese people. I'd like to share my thoughts on how practitioners overseas can effectively do this.
Master Li said,
“I have shared with you before that the kings at even higher planes, the kings of each of the ethnicities of mankind throughout history, those who were of high levels in the cosmos, all reincarnated in China. It became the focal point. And that is why the degree of difficulty that people there would have to face when making the choice was increased. This is because the old forces saw that as soon as such people gained salvation, probably so too would the ethnic group that they represent, or even, in some cases, the entire group of lives of the massive universe that they represent. Think about what a huge thing that would be. So, the old forces made the ordeals that these people would have to face the biggest of all.” (“What is a Dafa Disciple,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XI)
Many practitioners outside of China have friends and family in China. Because they know us, these people have a predestined relationship with Dafa. It's our responsibility to save them. I've noticed that some practitioners who do well in many projects don't know how to clarify the truth to people in China.
I've phoned and used skype to clarify the truth to my friends and relatives in China. The most important thing I've learned is that we should remember that Master is saving people, not us. Our goal is to help Master save people, and we shouldn't have any human notions when we contact them. When we can set aside our notions, the result is usually good. I've observed that if we meet the requirements of the Fa, then our compassion and righteous thoughts can dispel people's fear. They are more willing to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
We need to carefully choose what we talk about and consider how much an everyday person can understand and accept. I usually start by talking about my daily life in the U.S. and compare it to life in China. Many friends are curious about Americans and want to send their children to the U.S. for their education. I talk about how people live outside of China and how Westerners view religion and belief. While talking about spiritual beliefs, it's easy to extend the topic to quitting the CCP.
As the Fa-rectification moves forward, many things are about to happen. Natural disasters are warnings and offer us chances to clarify the truth. Everyone is asking how to avoid getting infected. Dafa disciples all know that those who haven't participated in the persecution can avoid it, but we should not tell people that directly because it may cause misunderstanding. I try not to use words like “retribution,” which might stir up their negative feelings. I tell them how, at first, the CCP concealed the epidemic, which made it worse than it should have been. I try to help them see that the Party has caused many disasters in China and killed many people and encourage them to quit it.
Clarifying the truth to our friends and family is different from talking to strangers. We often need to first chat about something not directly related to what we want to talk about. So, a phone conversation may take a long time, which requires extra patience and a true wish to save people. If we merely treat it as a task and don't truly want to save them, making the call may seem difficult. When that happens, I ask Master to help me eliminate my notions and to strengthen me. I can feel Master's power, and my mind is very clear. I was able to help more than 90% of the people I phoned quit the Party. One night, I convinced 20 friends to quit.
It's easy to be moved by qing when I talk to friends. Some of them refuse to listen and others even hang up on me. I felt sad, especially when a good friend refused to listen. Looking inward, I found that I was moved by qing, so I frequently remind myself not to get frustrated or give up. Many times when I wait a few days and again phone those who refuse to listen, the results are often different. Some listened and agreed to quit the Party.
I usually tell my friends and relatives, “When we joined the CCP or its affiliated organizations, we took an oath that we would sacrifice our lives for the Party. That is ominous. The CCP is responsible for the deaths of 80 million Chinese. One day, when it's held accountable, its members will go down with it. As of now, more than 350 million Chinese have quit the Party and its organizations. Quitting the Party is the best way to avoid being implicated in its crimes.
There are many projects one can be involved in outside of China. Participating in them can help us cultivate and improve our ability to clarify the truth. For example, by participating on the platform to call law enforcement in China, I've learned many talking points. Talking to Chinese law enforcement requires strong righteous thoughts. In the process, I can feel that many of my bad notions disintegrate, and I can quickly break through the interference. I also go to tourist destinations to talk to people in person. Many of my attachments and notions, which are usually hard to eliminate, are easily gotten rid of when I clarify the truth face to face—Master removes those things for us. Making phone calls to people in China also helps us to eliminate human notions and improve our level.
Everyone in the world, including the 1.5 billion Chinese, are waiting for us to save them. We should use every approach to do that. Since we live in a free environment outside of China, we can use social media and the phone call platform to clarify the truth. We can also post or forward truth-clarifying articles and links on social media. Those who know how to overcome China's Internet firewall like to read these articles.
I gave the contact information of one of my friends in China to the phone call platform. Many practitioners called him and he listened carefully. When I called him, I didn't have to say much to convince him to quit the CCP.
