(Clearwisdom.net) We are four older Dafa practitioners from Wuhan. We learned Falun Dafa between 1996 and 1998. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, we went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. We hung fliers and banners, and distributed booklets and CDs to let people know the truth about Falun Dafa. Since 2006, we have gone out together, clarified the truth to strangers and persuaded them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations - the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers.
In these past few years, no matter how cold or hot it was, how dangerous the situation was, or how furious the evil was, we never gave up or ran away. Each week we go out four days to clarify the truth and persuade people to quit the CCP organizations. We study the Fa two days a week and do our housework one day every week. Whenever we go out, we explain the true situation to anyone we meet.
We feel that when Master gives a lecture on the Fa, the Fa-rectification moves forward one step, our environment improves, and more people awaken faster. The pace of Fa-rectification is very orderly, as Master has told us.
We now can persuade 70 to 100 people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations in a single day. Clarifying the truth and persuading people to quit the CCP, as we understand it, is the process we use to practice Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance and is how we cultivate and improve ourselves. We started with strong attachments to fear, afraid of being insulted, afraid of being reported and not daring to speak out. We moved on to having little fear, and eventually to becoming open hearted and having complete confidence. It is a process of gradual improvement. As of the end of 2008, we have persuaded more than 24,000 people to quit the CCP and its affiliates.
We know that we are still far from Master's requirements for Dafa practitioners, ordinary people's expectations of being saved, and other practitioners who do well. We will continue to work hard.
