(Clearwisdom.net) Teacher said,

"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination." (Dafa is Indestructible from Essentials for Further Advancement II)

"As a Dafa disciple in this society, no matter what kind of setting or corner of society you find yourself in, you are playing a positive role. Regardless of whether you are clarifying the truth and validating the Fa or doing things not so directly connected to Dafa, you are nonetheless saving sentient beings..." (Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital, July 22, 2006).

In recent years, I have followed Teacher's words firmly and walked the road of validating the Fa.

From 1999 to 2000, there were not many truth-clarification materials available in our region. I had to write them myself. My granddaughter was only a few months old, and I took care of all the housework: buying groceries, cooking, babysitting. I did not have much time and had to study the Fa while holding the baby. When the baby fell asleep, I quickly prepared some truth-clarification materials. Later I found time to distribute them. If I was busy, I would carry the baby with me while distributing the materials. After my granddaughter grew bigger, I carried her on my back when I went out. Sometimes I had to climb five or six flights of stairs, but I was not tired. On the contrary, I felt good. At night I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises. Although I did not rest much, I felt energetic.

When my granddaughter grew older still, we sent her to daycare. In accordance with the needs of Fa-rectification, I set up a production site for truth-clarification materials at my home. When we had enough materials, a fellow practitioner and I went to the countryside or supermarket to distribute them. We also paid special attention to sending forth righteous thoughts, and did that while distributing materials. We also brought colorful markers with us. When we saw an appropriate place, we would write things like "Falun Dafa is good."

One time after distributing truth-clarification materials, we went home. On our way back, we saw an elderly lady sitting in the field collecting corn with some difficulty. I walked over and told her about Falun Gong. I also told her to say "Falun Dafa is good. Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good." She put the truth-clarification materials in her pocket and said that she would let her children read them. I felt happy for her.

At night, we often walked long distances to distribute materials. Our legs felt very tired and painful. However, we would feel better after doing the sitting meditation. Compared to the suffering for sentient beings that Teacher has gone through, what we went through in validating Dafa is nothing.

Once I went to a place in the countryside to distribute truth-clarification materials. Because the area was unfamiliar to me, I thought that perhaps I had been there a few days earlier. I then began to wonder if someone was monitoring me. Less than two minutes later, I heard someone riding a bike after me and crying out loudly, "Where are you going?" I ran, and in the meantime sent forth a righteous thought: "Don't move..." I looked back and did not see the person who was following me. I then safely returned home. Looking inward, obviously it was caused by my fear, which let the evil take advantage of my human mentality. If it were not for Teacher protecting me, I do not know what kind of trouble I would have had. From that event, I understood that while distributing truth-clarification materials and validating Dafa, I should study the Fa with a peaceful mind. While immersing myself in the Fa, I should truly act like a divine being.

Once I went to a small district to distribute truth-clarification materials. After I was done with one building, I went to the next one and noticed that the gate was locked. I had the thought that someone would open it. I looked back and saw an old lady coming to the gate, and telling me that she had the key. I suddenly felt warmth in my heart. Sometimes when I went to a building unit with a security door installed, I could see that it was locked looking from the outside. However, when I gave it a try, I could easily open the door and thus safely distributed truth-clarification materials. All these things are manifestations of Teacher's Fa, and all this was done successfully under Teacher's protection.

When I first clarified the truth face-to-face to someone, I had the attachment of fear. Along with gradual improvement in my understanding, I gradually got rid of that attachment. Every day, I went to markets, stores, and parks, and clarified the truth to people, persuading them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its related organizations. I clarified the truth while sending forth righteous thoughts. In a short while I was able to persuade five to six people to withdraw.

In order to clarify the truth to more people and save more people, I often bought more than I needed. My husband would complain that I bought too much stuff and wasted money. But I felt that as a Dafa practitioner, I should try my best to save more people, so I was willing to spend more money if needed.

I coordinated with another fellow practitioner. One of us would clarify the truth while the other would send forth righteous thoughts. After dinner, we went to visit people that we knew, clarifying the truth and persuading people to withdraw from CCP related organizations. We had a lot of success doing this.

I don't remember exactly how many people have quit CCP-related organizations. Among those people were CCP cadres, workers, farmers, college students, middle school or elementary school kids, and others. Many of them already knew the beauty of Dafa and spoke up for it.

I did not know how to look inward before, or even though I tried, it would be superficially done and I could not find the real reasons for my shortcomings. After spending more time studying the Fa and reading articles written by fellow practitioners in "Minghui Weekly", I learned how to look inward and understood that looking inward is truly effective. Teacher said,

"Your righteous thoughts and everything you accomplish come from the Fa, so no matter how busy you are, don't neglect Fa-study."(Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S. A. November 30, 2002)

"No matter how difficult your environment is, no matter how busy you get, you cannot forget to study the Fa. You must study the Fa, because it is the absolute, most fundamental guarantee of your improvement." (Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S. A. December 29, 2001)

Therefore, besides listening to the Fa and reading Dafa books, I would study one lecture of Zhuan Falun each night. We often had group Fa study, exchanged our understandings of the Fa, and tried to find our shortcomings.

Teacher has endured so much for us disciples and given us so much. We do not know how to express our appreciation to Teacher. The only thing we can do is diligently cultivate, do the three things well, save more sentient beings, and be worthy of Master's hopes for us.
