A few years ago, when I was in a small town in Hebei Province, I clarified the facts about Falun Gong to my elder sister. Most of the time, she listened silently without asking any questions, so it was hard to tell whether or not she took my words to heart.

One day, she suddenly called me, saying that she missed me and would like me to pay her a visit if I had time. She said she felt like chatting with me about things related to worshiping Buddha.

I was so elated. It was a predestined relationship! I rushed to her by train.

When I arrived at her office, it was a little after10:00 a.m. Since I had previously clarified the truth to her and laid a foundation for her understanding, I opened my notebook computer to let her watch the video about how Falun Dafa has been disseminated worldwide.

She told me that she had believed in Buddha for a long time, but nobody had ever shown her clearly how to put her belief into practice. She said, "Last time, when you talked about Falun Gong, I felt it made sense, so I have been constantly thinking about it. Not long ago, I went to southeast Asia on a sightseeing tour with the wives of some city officials. The first stop was Singapore. At a tourist attraction, I saw a skinny and seemingly weak girl distributing flyers under the baking sun, and I had a feeling it was about Falun Gong. I approached her.

"As I accepted the materials from her, I asked, 'Who pays you to distribute the flyers here?' She replied that nobody paid her to. Then I asked, 'In such a hot weather, wouldn't it be better for you to stay home and rest? What a grueling job to stand here distributing flyers!' She said, 'I came here for you! I would like you to understand the truth!' I was touched almost to tears, so I took a lot of materials from her and went back to the tour bus to read them. The wives that came with me all laughed at me and said, 'Come quickly and look at Song Yu (alias), she even dares to read Falun Gong materials without fear of being arrested after returning to China.' I did not pay attention to them, but kept reading."

My sister continued, "The next stop was Malaysia. As soon as our bus arrived and we got out, a young man in the group quickly went ahead to look for Falun Gong materials. He came back with a lot of leaflets to save me the trouble of fetching them. So, I kept reading these brochures. At the swimming pool, everyone else went to swim, but I sat in a chair to continue my reading. There was a lot of information that I had never been able to see in China. The others splashed water on me, teased me, and ridiculed me with high voices: 'Falun Gong!'

"However, when we arrived at the third stop, Thailand, I do not know why, but as soon as they got off the bus, they all ran out to look for Falun Gong materials, as if they had not come to sightsee but for Falun Gong! I ended up being the only one left to look after so many personal effects left unattended!

"When they got back to the hotel that night, unlike before, they didn't make any noise. Everybody held a thick pack of materials and read them quietly, with an occasional sigh. After that, nobody ever teased me again."

Upon hearing what my sister said, I could not help sighing with emotion at how the grand waves of Fa-rectification have inspired people's righteous thoughts. Here, I would like to thank the practitioners abroad for all the efforts they have made. Through our combined efforts, inside and outside of China, people have been gradually awakening!

My sister also said that she had a question that had puzzled her for some time. "Since you worship Buddha, you should focus on doing that. So, why do you participate in politics and promote quitting the Party?"

I said, "Buddha compassionately saves sentient beings, with no interest in human politics at all. Let's suppose when Buddha sees people boarding a train headed towards hell, what should He do? Isn't it offering true salvation to ask these people to get off the train as quickly as possible? Young children are na ve and do not know much, but in China, the Communist Party tells them to raise their little hands to be initiated into the Party's Young Pioneers and vow to devote their entire lives to it. Isn't this dragging innocent children into politics? The Communist Party flag carries the symbols of the sickle and ax, and it is red, as if stained with the blood of those who were killed by its sickle and ax! The song children sing every day when the Communist flag is raised has the line: 'Build a new great wall with our blood and flesh,' suggesting taking people's lives!

"Not only to they talk about it, they actually do kill innocent people. Since the despotic government was established, over 80 million of our fellow Chinese people have been killed through its various movements. Even some of the leaders inside the Party, including Liu Shaoqi and the ten generals, as well as Deng Xiaoping himself [Liu Shaoqi was Chairman of China; Deng Xiaoping was a prominent Chinese politician], could not escape the fate of being implicated, tortured, and stamped out. Since it is such an evil Party, how could it not be dangerous for people to follow it? How could Buddha not do anything upon seeing it push people into hell? In fact, asking you to quit the Party does not involve you in politics. It helps you escape politics and break free from the Party's claws!"

"Oh, that's why!" All of a sudden, she understood.

She then asked, "Then, why is the Chinese Communist Party so atrocious?"

I said, "This is because it is an evil spirit, which aims at sabotaging our Chinese nation! It once asked us to sing and honor it as our dear mother every day; it used to prohibit farmers from harvesting their crops, which ended up rotting in the field, while tens of millions of people starved to death; in the Tiananmen Square Massacre, it cracked down on patriotic students and civilians, using tanks to roll over the bodies of the students; in the persecution of Falun Gong, it even harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit.

"It asked people to honor it as their mother, but how could there be such a mother who so badly abused her children?" I told my sister to read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, which has a detailed account of the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party.

I left a copy of the Nine Commentaries and Zhuan Falun for her.

She was excited to have these two books and repeatedly said thank you. She said she would certainly cherish the Great Law! Also, she wanted to quit the Party using her real name!
