(Clearwisdom.net) Over the past 3 years, I have followed Teacher's instructions: "Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy" (Essentials for Further Advancement II - Rationality). In addition to clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to my relatives, friends, schoolmates, and colleagues at work whom I am in contact with, I also utilize various means to create opportunities to clarify the truth to others.
No matter whom I meet or contact, I put validating Dafa as the first priority. First, I send forth strong righteous thoughts and never let any available chance pass. Sometimes, I try my best to create opportunities to clarify the truth and take the initiative to do it, which allows more people who have been misled by Jiang regime's deceitful lies to learn the truth.
I'd like to share a few of my experiences.
For strangers whom I am meeting for the first time, it is important to naturally turn to the topic of the facts about Falun Dafa. It is obviously not proper to hastily tell them about the facts; we have to give people time to accept them.
We have to abandon our fears when we clarify the truth face to face. Each time, we should first send forth righteous thoughts to completely deny the old force's arrangements and prevent them from using a loophole. Several times while I clarified the truth in public, police vans were just a few steps away and stayed there for a long time. I understood that those were tests for me. Therefore, I calmly and steadily continued to clarify the truth to people while sending forth righteous thoughts. At the same time, I chose an alternative way to tell the facts according to different situations. Because my state of mind was righteous, the evil had no chance to take advantage.
To people whom I only have the chance to meet once such as a retailer, taxi driver, or person that asks me for a directions, I will use the precious opportunity to clarify the truth and explain the facts according to their individual situations. Especially when people see that I look very healthy and much younger then my real age; they often express their amazement. At this point, when I clarify the truth to them, the effects are always very good.
I also met some people who seemed indifferent when I tried to clarify the truth to them. That is because the evil factors in other dimensions were able to see clearly that I would clarify the truth. Therefore, they controlled people and stopped them from responding to me. Some people even behaved very viciously; they tried to drive me out and said that they would call the police. At this point, while sending forth righteous thoughts, I emphasized some pertinent issues according to different circumstances and at the same time, manifested the great kindness and peacefulness of a Dafa cultivator.
I try my best to fully use all possible opportunities in my daily life to clarify the facts. For example, when I go shopping for groceries, I only buy one item from each vendor's stand. This way, I can clarify the truth to 7 or 8 groups of people each time I shop. In addition to the vendors, I also try to let people around them hear what I am saying. After a while, everyone in the nearby food markets know the facts about Falun Dafa. Then I go to other food markets that are farther from my home. Over the past years, I have been to almost all the big or small food markets in the area. Also, when I get a haircut, I would not just go to one barbershop as I did before, instead, I go to different ones each time. In addition, I choose larger barbershops where more customers will be, so as to let more people know the truth.
On the roadsides in the downtown area, there are many people who come from other areas waiting for opportunities to perform some manual labor. When I walk slowly by and pay attention to them, some people will come up and ask me whether I need them to do manual work. This is exactly the good opportunity that I am seeking to clarify the facts. After a few words, I turn the topic to exposing the evil persecution, which allows many people to learn the truth. After some time, when I pass by there again, a large group of people will surround me, vying with each other to get the truth-clarifying VCDs and other materials. Some people also tell others what they have already read or watched. Many people would like to read Dafa books and learn the exercises. They express their strong desire to learn Dafa. I tell them: "There will be someone to teach you the exercises and it is guaranteed that you will not be charged. The day when the Fa rectifies the human realm is coming soon." "Falun Dafa will bring happiness and wonderfulness to all honest and kind-hearted people."
For the people whom I'm acquainted with, in addition to going their homes to clarify the truth, I also intentionally go to their workplaces to tell the facts to their colleagues. I have a classmate whose attitude toward Dafa was still not positive even though I had tried many times to clarify the facts to him. Later, I went to his office a few times. When I answered his questions, I utilized the opportunity to expose the deceitful lies and clarify the facts to his colleagues. I turned the tables and used his misunderstandings about Dafa to create opportunities to clarify the facts.
My grandson is just one year old. He also became a good assistant for clarifying the truth. When he was only a few months old, he was able to help me to participate in the Fa rectification. When I took him out to play, relaxed in the residents' complex, took him to the food markets, grocery stores, on the streets, or whenever I want to find a topic to tell the facts to people, my grandson always sweetly smiled at the other party or greeted them by saying "Ah-Ah", which immediately gave the person a favorable impression and at the same time creates a good chance for me to validate Dafa. At this point, I often say, "The child's father is a Falun Gong practitioner. He is a model employee in his workplace and respects and treats his parents very well at home. He is such a good guy, completely different from what the TV says about Falun Gong practitioners." Under this kind of situation, the effect is quite good. I often read aloud to my grandson, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance", "Falun is always rotating, the Buddha Fa is boundless" and so on. I also let him see the Falun emblem. At this time, he always shows his pure smile or seems to think about something. He looks quite lovely.
For all the people I contact, including those who repair bicycles, clean the streets, sell ice cream, or offer fortunetelling, I always try my best to talk with them and to clarify the truth to them.
I ask those who sell audiovisual equipment "Do you have the Falun Gong exercise instruction videotapes?" I ask those who work in the copy centers or printing plants, "Would you please print literature about Falun Gong?" I ask those who work in bookstores or sell books at vendor's stands on the roadsides, "Do you have books about Falun Gong?" Although I often get negative answers, what I really want is just the opportunity to clarify the truth.
I also said to the vendors who sell used books, "If you get any Falun Dafa books, I will buy them for the original price." The vendors are very pleased and say "yes" again and again. I have two purposes: One is to collect Dafa books that were scattered. Another is to create opportunities to validate Dafa to other people around the vendors when I go back to them.
Recently, I successively met two innocent girls who were around 18 or 19 years old. When I told the facts to them and said the words "Falun Gong", they instantly showed fear and tried to avoid me. One tremblingly said, "Please stop saying that, I'm scared to death." While sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements in other dimensions, I smiled and said, "I practice Falun Gong. Look at me, do you think I'm like those people shown in the TV who kill others and are not in the right minds?" They said, "No, no, you are not like them. We have seen too much from the TV." They looked at me with tears in their eyes.
Seeing these kind and simple young girls being misled so deeply by the vicious propaganda, my heart felt very heavy. How would I help these people? I deeply felt that my ability was limited and at the same time, I also realized how grave our responsibilities are.
I insist on working harder to make the best use of my time to clarify the truth and try my best to save more sentient beings. Fellow practitioners, please also hurry up and do the same.
