By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Jiaonan City, Shandong Province
When the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, several other practitioners and I, on our own initiative, took on the task of passing along information and making sure the practitioners from our practice site could still get a hold of Teacher's new articles, which was not easy. The family members of some fellow practitioners were sometimes scared and misunderstood us. They even threatened to report us to the police if we came again. I realized that it was the interference, so I acted according to Teacher's requirement. To help us all improve as a whole body and to clarify the truth, I overcame these hurdles and interferences and was able to pass the Dafa materials on to help our practitioners cultivate with renewed diligence and energy.
To follow Master's Fa-rectification, I never dip into my purse. With the money I save I make truth-clarification materials. I bought a tape recorder to copy some truth-clarification audiotapes broadcast by a Falun Dafa station, and I have duplicated videotapes of some of Teacher's Fa-lectures for fellow practitioners.
As Teacher said in "Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Midwest-U.S. Fa Conference,"
"Don't overlook any of the things that Dafa disciples do. Your every word, every flyer, every keystroke, every telephone call, and every letter is having a huge impact. Beings that have come to understand the facts become mobile media, and they too clarify the facts."
Sometimes, I also clarify the truth by calling and writing letters to my colleagues, friends, and to the policemen in forced labor camps. I tell them that Falun Gong is flourishing abroad, that Jiang's gang is being sued internationally, and I warn them about the heavenly law of karmic retribution. At the end I ask them to stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
Although I am introverted and have been soft-spoken from childhood, Teacher says,
"As Dafa disciples tell people the facts, it's like sharp swords shooting out together from their mouths, shredding apart the rotten demons' lies. Lose no time and save them, hurry up and tell them." ("Hurry up, tell them", Hongyin II, provisional translation subject to improvement).
I believe that if I have strong righteous thoughts, Teacher will help me. I did my best to clarify the truth to my relatives, friends, and colleagues and then gave them truth clarifying materials. This usually had a good effect. After that, I started to tell the facts about Falun Gong to people that I did not know in the food market and the mall. When I buy groceries, I am not picky and never negotiate with the vendors. They say, "You are so kind." At that moment, I send forth righteous thoughts to clean up that person's personal dimension and then tell him or her the truth about Dafa. By doing it this way, they easily understand the truth.
I strictly follow "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" to guide me to become a good person from my heart. I had a relative who was hospitalized in town. I delivered food, fruit, and other necessities to her three times a day. When the other people in the sickroom wondered why was I so kind, I told them that I was a Falun Gong practitioner and that our Teacher guides us to be good and we are nothing like the ugly image portrayed by the government-controlled media. The eight people in the sickroom came to understand the truth. One 19-year-old girl said, "This time I am clear about the real truth of the staged 'self-immolation'." I gave them some truth-clarification materials and told them to share them with their relatives and friends.
With my help, many people have realized that Falun Dafa is great and have witnessed the miracles of Falun Gong. I delivered the audiotapes of Teacher's lectures to one of my friends. She was glad to listen to it, but then she complained to me, "What a great Fa! Why didn't you tell me about it sooner?" One night, soon after she began listening to the Fa, she dreamed that somebody removed the tumor in her uterus. Later she had a physical exam that showed that the tumor really had disappeared. She told me with delight, "Teacher has already taken care of me!" She tells everybody she knows that Falun Gong is so great, and that Teacher healed her of her tumor.
Another relative of mine suffered from heart disease. The doctor suggested we prepare for her funeral. I told her that only Falun Gong could save her and brought her a copy of Zhuan Falun. When she opened the book, she saw golden light emitting from it. I said to her, "You have a great predestined relationship." The next morning, she could go to restroom by herself and left the hospital just two days later. Eight years later she continues to be healthy and walks with a spring in her step without having taken one tablet of medicine. She tells everybody she meets, "It is Falun Gong that saved me. Otherwise, I would have already passed away from this world."
It has been more than five years for me on the path of Fa- rectification. With the protection of our great Master, I am able to get through the trials and hardships, and I have safely braved the danger. I must do the three things well and walk every step with righteous thoughts and actions.
