Becoming Compassionate and Fearless to Help Master Save People

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2006. A relative took me to a Fa-study group, and I’ve been going there to study one lecture of Zhuan Falun and selected teachings every night ever since.

When we first studied Master Li Hongzhi’s lecture at the New York Fa Conference in 2007, I read the last question and realized that it referred to me. Master said, “To those Dafa disciples who have just obtained the Fa, I say that you are so fortunate.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference”)

When I read this part of the lecture today, I gained a deeper understanding. I am the happiest and luckiest person! This is the opportunity I’d been waiting for all my life!

Look Inward to Cultivate Compassion

Our Fa study group began to memorize Hong Yin IV and V last year. After memorizing the poems, it felt really good, so we started to memorize Zhuan Falun. We are now doing this a second time.

By memorizing the Fa, I’ve become clearer about the Fa principles. My body and mind have been assimilating to the Fa. I’ve found many of my attachments and corrected myself. The process of giving up each attachment was painful, but it was also a process of relief and improvement.

My father is 85 and finds it difficult to walk. My siblings and I take turns going to his home to take care of him. He is hot-tempered and stubborn. He often picked on us, pointed out our faults, and treated us terribly. He would find some excuse to get angry with each of us even though we did his housework, bought him groceries, and cooked his meals.

When I talked to my husband about it, I asked if he thought I had a problem. He said, ”You have no compassion for your father.” Master had used him to wake me up. I looked inward and found that, when my father treated me badly, I was resentful, annoyed, and disgusted.

I have three siblings. My eldest sister and I both practice Dafa. I once shared with her what it means to “talk nicely.” She said, “Although our sister and younger brother do not cultivate, they speak calmly. I’m usually fine, but you sound like you have an attitude and are resentful.” I knew I had this problem and was determined to correct it.

However, it was easier said than done. I was opinionated, overbearing, and spoke loudly. I’d been indoctrinated by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) culture. Sometimes, even after I realized this, I couldn’t do well. I was disappointed in myself. After finding my problem, I strengthened my Fa study to make a breakthrough.

I sent forth righteous thoughts to clear out my human notions, the CCP culture, and other bad beings in me. I wanted to disintegrate and eliminate them as they had formed a “false me.” I wanted to completely deny them and allow my true self to become stronger.

Master Li cherishes every practitioner, seeing only our good side. While cultivating in human society, we should focus on other people’s good sides and forget the bad things. This is also a manifestation of compassion and tolerance.

When my father’s generation was growing up, there was never enough food, yet they had to work beyond their endurance, so they learned how to be extremely frugal. Being diligent and thrifty is a traditional Chinese virtue, and it is also one of his virtues. Given his past, I was able to understand many of his habits, so I decided to treat him with compassion.

I took better care of my father. He has bad teeth and likes to eat soft foods, so I often made him freshly squeezed juice. I prepared soft vegetables and easy-to-chew meat and would often cook his favorite steamed buns and dumplings. When the food was ready, I would put it right in front of him. I also washed his clothes and helped him shower before he went to bed. I tried to keep him satisfied. Now he smiles a lot more. He also loves to read the truth-clarification materials I bring him.

Sometimes, when I couldn’t maintain my xinxing, my father would say, “Your book says all Falun Dafa practitioners are nice and live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Do you forbear?” In response, I would immediately say, “I’m wrong. You are right. I will correct myself right now!”

In cultivation, we must do well at all times and in all places. We must act with compassion in everything we do and say. We must be more considerate of others and attain selflessness and altruism.

My eldest sister also said to me, “The rest of our family doesn’t cultivate, so they don’t know how good Falun Dafa is. If we both cultivate well, they will see the beauty and goodness of Dafa in us. So we must do well.”

Removing My Attachment of Fear

Encouraged by other practitioners, I started making truth-clarification materials at home. Seeing the rich information on Minghui.org, I felt a responsibility to provide other practitioners with high-quality materials. I was grateful to Master for all the help and knew he was pushing me forward.

There are a lot of residents in our area. While the community was being renovated, all of the gates were open, which was a good time to distribute materials and let more people know the truth about Dafa. Our local group wanted to distribute materials in the whole region, so we needed quite a lot of materials. We tried to arrange our time well. Sometimes, we would distribute them together and other times, individually. The key was to maintain a pure heart to save people, send forth righteous thoughts, and ask Master for help. Everything always went well.

The process of distributing the materials was also a process of letting go of fear. During that time, my heart was racing, and I could feel the substance of fear in my dimensional field. I thought that Master was by my side, however, and I asked him for help. Every time I finished distributing materials by myself, I asked myself why I couldn’t do the most righteous things in an open and upright way.

I found it was because I did not study the Fa with a tranquil mind. Strong righteous thoughts come from the Fa. I then committed myself to studying the Fa more, memorizing Zhuan Falun, and removed the fear little by little. Before going out, I would recite the Fa and send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate my attachment to fear. I put others before me, and I’m no longer afraid.

In July 2020, I was caught on camera distributing materials. The manager where worked tracked down my husband and told him to stay at home and make sure I didn’t go out to clarify the truth. I sent out a thought: “No one should interfere with my doing the most righteous thing. I won’t allow people to commit crimes against Dafa.”

I went to a bus station one morning and sent forth righteous thoughts: “I am a Dafa practitioner, and I am the most righteous being in the universe.” I then asked Master to send people with a predestined relationship to me.

After a while, a man and a woman sat next to me. I smiled and said to the man, “You look like a businessman.” He laughed, and I asked him if he would like to read a book.

When he inquired what book I was referring to, I replied “It’s a truth-clarification booklet. You will be blessed by remembering ‘Falun Dafa is good!’”

He said he would take one. I gave it to him with an attractive cover. He smiled and put it in his bag. When I asked if he would like to quit the CCP, he said that another practitioner had already helped him do that. The woman next to me heard our conversation and also asked for a book. I was very happy for her. Their bus came a short while later.

A man was standing next to me with a mobile phone in his hand. I showed him the card with a QR code to help him circumvent the Internet firewall and visit websites outside China. I told him, “You can surf the Internet and see the real world with just one scan.” He readily accepted it and thanked me as he walked toward the bus.

The human world is moving along with the changes of the celestial phenomena, and there is a contest between good and evil unfolding. In the remaining period of time, I will try my best to cultivate and help Master to save more people. I will also be more diligent in helping Master with the Fa-rectification.
