(Clearwisdom.net) Due a convenient situation at work, I clarified the facts of Falun Gong to one of my colleagues on many occasions. She came to understand the truth about the staged self-immolation incident, how Falun Gong can cure illness, etc. "Seeing you being so persistent in telling me about Falun Gong, I believe that it is good," she told me recently. "Your teacher must be very proud of you for your commitment. That's really nice. There were some people at my previous workplace who also practice Falun Gong. But I always found them a bit strange. I just didn't like to listen to them, and this had nothing to do with what they were trying to tell me. Unlike my old colleagues, you seem to be normal, and I think that's good. I enjoy listening to what you say."
I told her, "If you have a chance in the future to really understand everything in depth, you will know how good our Teacher is, and how much he has done for us. Compared to what he has given us, what I have done is very little. It is not that I want you to believe in me, I just want you to know that Falun Dafa is good. We all have benefited from it."
"About those Falun Gong practitioners from your previous workplace," I continued, "Maybe they were just being a little too excited at the beginning of their practice. I think they were overly excited because they suddenly gained a new understanding of the purpose and value of life through practicing Falun Gong; they suddenly realized how good Falun Gong is. After a while, they will calm down. It's just like you've found a very precious thing and you are overcome by joy. When others do not realize how precious it is, they may think you are strange, right? Once they realize it is a precious thing, they will envy you and think you have gained insight and good fortune."
At this time when people are awakening to the truth, setting a high standard for our words and deeds when clarifying the facts is very important. I would like to share with everyone Master's words in "Teaching the Fa (1) at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston:"
"If we don't pay attention to our own behavior in our daily lives, everyday people will see our actions and, since they can't get to know you at a deep level such as by studying the Fa, they will just look at how you act. And it's possible that one sentence or one action of yours will make them unsavable or create a bad impression of Dafa. We need to think about these things."
