My name is Andre Huber. I am 21 years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa for two years. Now I wish to tell you my experience in the practice and about my Hongfa activities.
The current situation in China is clear--a regime without conscience openly demonstrates its demonic nature, but not everyone knows about it. There are still a large number of people who do not know what is happening in China. They, too, must be informed and given the opportunity to choose their future position in a new Cosmos. Many good-hearted people are just waiting to learn the truth from us. None of us can afford to idly watch the Chinese government disseminate false information. We practitioners know what we have to do. We can expect a great amount of work coming our way, and as the Master said, we should do even better in the future. We are improving ourselves continuously and we must understand the true nature of each trial that we are confronted with. We should let reason and not feeling be our guide.
In spreading the Fa, I have learned that it is often the little things that need to be done. For example, when I am catching up on the latest on Minghui in the Internet café, before I go, I leave a report on the monitor. If I then glance back before walking out the door, I am bound to see my neighbors reading the report I left on the monitor with interest.
I would like to give you another example. I work at night in a hotel as a porter. One day, I learned that the hotel was waiting to receive a guest from the East. I looked at the reservation and saw that the gentleman was coming from Shanghai. I knew immediately what I had to do. I wanted to speak to him personally and give him a copy of "The Real Story." Unfortunately, I was not able to see him in person; therefore, I wrote him a brief letter and left it for his attention.
What I am trying to say is that it does not matter where we are or what we are doing, there is always the opportunity to tell the truth to someone. Whenever I speak to someone about Falun Dafa, I feel a deep connection to him. I have experienced so many wonderful things that I am not able to describe with words.
Often we say that we have no time to be active in hongfa, that work and fulfilling day-to-day responsibilities leave us with little time for practice. I also use to think this way, but I had an experience that changed my mind. One night I was lying in bed after having spent the whole evening writing the Info-leaflet, although I should have spent some of the time on my homework due the next day. While lying there I thought: Master, I have used the whole evening for Dafa, and tomorrow I have to go to school without having done my homework. Somehow it cannot be right. We should not have to neglect the duties of our daily lives. On my way to school the next morning, I was debating whether I should just stay away from school for one hour to do my homework. When I got to school, my classmates told me that the teacher was ill and we were free for the next two hours to do whatever we needed to do, so my problem was solved. However, it was immediately clear to me that there is no excuse for not doing the work for Dafa.
When I read one of the Master's newest Jingwen, in which he wrote: "The little bit of suffering we are going through is nothing compared to what we will be receiving," then I have a guilty conscience. At the same time, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude to the Master, and I am deeply touched by his infinite compassion.
Experience reports such as this have always helped me to improve myself. For example, recently I read a report from a practitioner who explained what he meant by practicing cultivation whole-heartedly. I used to consider myself as someone who was learning Dafa out of conviction. Reading this report made me realize that I was not practicing whole-heartedly. I was always finding excuses for not practicing. If I only practiced once a week, I would tell myself that reading was more important. I thought I was simply not able to get up early enough to practice because I would certainly be tired at school later. I have realized that all these excuses were the wrong attitudes and thoughts of an ordinary person. I now know that to practice Dafa whole-heartedly means to cultivate Dafa unconditionally. Now I get up every morning at 5:00 a.m. and practice for two hours. I no longer look for excuses, but listen to the true nature of my heart and then decide. Nothing done with a pure heart and without attachments can be wrong.
I have reached the end of my report and I want to thank you all for your kind attention.
