Practitioners Exchange Insights

Use Dafa practitioners' wisdom to eliminate evil elements in the media's propaganda and lies. Regarding the Chinese state-run media's vicious slander and attack against Dafa, I collected Dafa-slandering articles in newspapers and magazines. I cut useful words in these articles, rearranged them and made them into truth-clarifying sentences. For example, I added "is good" after "Falun Dafa," "is beneficial to the country and the people" after "Falun Gong," "is the Fa!" after "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." I added "Those who persecute Dafa are criminals forever, they will receive the judgment of history" after the head of the evil's pictures, as well as "goodness will be rewarded and evildoing will be punished" etc. I then rearranged these messages and made them into flyers. Sometimes I photocopied them and posted them up. For the past several years, I have made thousands of truth clarification flyers and distributed them in surrounding cities and counties. They worked to suppress the evil and offer salvation to the people.

We are one whole body. One day I dreamt of 16 Dafa practitioners being sentenced. I was right beside them, but I wanted to hide. In the end, the 16 practitioners were given death sentences. I can't describe how I regretted that I hadn't done anything to help them when I woke up. Surprisingly, when I turned on the T.V. at noon, I saw that the 16 Hong Kong Dafa practitioners had been sentenced. When I calmed down and looked inward, I understood many things. First, I didn't study the Fa well enough and my righteous thought was not firm at the critical moment. Second, our Dafa practitioners are indeed one whole body, so much so that I even dreamt of Dafa practitioners in Hong Kong. This incident made me understand that no matter which Dafa practitioner is persecuted, all of the other practitioners have undeniable responsibility. If every one of us does well, then the situation of Fa rectification will be much better.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

Awakening wayward people with his own life -- remembering fellow practitioner Sun Ruijian. Sun Ruijian passed away two years ago. He was a quiet, pure and kind person. He obtained the Fa relatively early in Fuzhou City and was the assistant for our practice site. He didn't speak much, but he promoted the Fa well, wherever he went. Other practitioners always wanted to ask him questions. Sun Ruijian said he was born for Dafa. He got to know cultivation when he was in school and wanted to become a monk after graduation, but his mother wouldn't let him go. Unconsciously, he knew that a righteous Fa was spreading in the human world, so he left home and looked for it. Later, he went to Beijing. A Dafa practitioner walked in front of him. As the practitioner walked past him, a corner of the book Zhuan Falun protruded from the briefcase. At that moment Sun Ruijian forgot that he was a stranger and ran up and stopped the practitioner. He obtained the Fa in this way. Before November 1999, he went to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Gong and was tortured to death two years ago on his third trip to appeal in Beijing.
