(Clearwisdom.net) "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." (Zhuan Falun). As long as we believe in Master there is nothing that cannot be achieved. Only by diligently clarifying the facts, will the opportunities constantly appear, as everything is arranged by Master. Sometimes I really feel that I do not have enough time to do things. If all practitioners step out to clarify the truth, and each practitioner talks to one person, then there will be one million people saved, and that number is very considerable.

While validating Dafa, I have experienced Master's boundless compassion as well as the miracles of Dafa. On July 20th of 1999, the evil Jiang regime launched the full-scale persecution and slander of Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners. Many Dafa practitioners have advanced from personal cultivation to Fa-rectification cultivation. Genuine Dafa practitioners have stepped forward to validate Dafa and oppose the persecution. I am also among them.
In the last five years I have come through numerous tribulations. Whenever I came through one tribulation, I deeply felt Master's boundless compassion and care and the miracles manifested by Dafa. Every tribulation is a genuine Dafa practitioner's true test. On the Fa-rectification path, no matter under what circumstances, Dafa practitioners should study the Fa well, use the Fa as the standard to follow the correct path, put the Fa first, and for all times put the Fa in our hearts and think about Master. We must let go of selfishness when faced with hardships and base everything upon the Fa; it is the key to walking each step well. Master told the disciples,
Genuinely cultivate Dafa,
Only this is great.
Assimilate to Dafa,
Some year, definitely succeed.
("Obtaining Fa", Hong Yin - Version Translation B)
One day a practitioner asked me whether I had written things in labor camps, detention centers or other places that did not conform to the Fa. I said, "No!" Since the day I obtained the Fa, I have known for sure that Falun Dafa is the real place I will return to, that the Master who really can save me has come. Every sentence from Master is truth. When the evil persecuted me and wanted to confuse me by quoting Master's words out of context, I told them with the force of justice and in a dignified manner, that the Fa taught by Master is all true, even including the punctuation marks! No one can shake my righteous belief in Master and in Dafa. In the end, the evildoers said, "Do not say [anything] against her Master and Falun Gong in front of this old lady; once you mention it, it's like threatening her life and she will talk endlessly with all her justifications." Therefore, no one would try to do the so-called transformation work on me.
Zhuan Falun mentions numerous times "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." This is the mighty power of Dafa! Master only looks at the heart of the disciple. When I am steadfast the evil cannot affect me. This also has manifest the Fa principle, "Just by staying unaffected you will be able to handle all situations" (Lecture on the Fa at the U.S. Midwest Conference, provisional translation subject to improvement). Master can do everything when the practitioners have the heart to firmly believe in Master and the Fa. Next, I would like to share with fellow practitioners a few examples of the miraculous stories manifesting the above Fa principles in my anti-persecution and Fa-validation path during the past five years.
1. In October 2000, just before I left with fellow practitioners for Beijing to validate the Fa, my four-year-old grandson suddenly had abdominal pains. A doctor concluded it was appendicitis and needed immediate surgery. The next morning my daughter's son was stopped by some bad people on his way to school; such a thing had never happened before. Several problems had come up: one needed hospital treatment and care; the other needed someone's companionship when going to and returning from school. I hesitated whether or not I should leave. My tears kept falling from worries. I had made up my mind to take fellow practitioners with me to seek justice for Master and Dafa, and nothing could stop us; but how could I explain this to my children?
I calmed down to study the Fa. When I read the passage, "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master," my mind suddenly became clear. I asked Master for help, to deal well with the work to be done after I leave. The miraculous thing is, after I talked about these things, my children not only did not complain, my daughter-in-law asked me to mind my safety and gave me money once again. I thanked Master again and again in my heart for paving the path for me to go to Tiananmen Square. I was arrested and taken to the Beijing Xuanwu District Detention Center after validating Dafa. I refused to tell my name and address under the police's illegal torture for confession. This torture included beatings, verbal abuse and attacks with electric batons. After I went on a hunger strike for seven days, they examined me and determined that they thought the force-feeding had caused me to have high blood pressure and released me. I know it was Master who saved me. After I returned home my grandson was well. It actually was not appendicitis and his pain was also gone; my daughter's son was also fine. I told my children with tears in my eyes, "One practices, the whole family benefits." My Master even protected my family members. You should remember for sure, "Falun Dafa is good."
2. In December 2000, while reading the Minghui website articles, I realized the root of evil is in Beijing. After sharing with fellow practitioners, we realized we should go to Beijing to expose the evil and clarify the truth. Three of us went to Beijing and started to distribute truth clarification materials in the streets. At the beginning, things went very smoothly. Later we got more materials and wanted to distribute more every day. We started before sunrise. Around 4:00 a.m. my fellow practitioner and I were noticed by people in a police car just after we came out of an alley to go into the street. We were arrested and taken to the Fengtai District Dong Tieying Police Station (the other practitioner staying at another place escaped). The police persecuted us for two days and two nights. Because we did not tell our names and addresses, we were sent to the Fengtai District Detention Center. On the way I said to Master that I must not go there; more truth clarification material needed to be distributed and should not be lost, since it had been rather difficult to obtain the materials. I had not done well; Master, please forgive me! For sure, I should send the materials into the hands of people with predestined relationships, and let the materials play the role of rescuing sentient beings. As a result, a physical exam determined I had high-blood pressure, and the detention center refused to accept me. And I asked Master, "They should not detain my fellow practitioner here alone." Miraculously, both of us were released. I told the fellow practitioner that because we did not cooperate with the evildoers, Master saved us; the precondition is that we should do things righteously; otherwise Master cannot do anything, even though he is worried.
3. In the month of being detained and persecuted in the Shenyang City Administrative Detention Center in 2001, the fifteen of us arrested in Beijing came from different places around the nation. We made use of this limited time in the small cell less than 10 square meters that held nearly 30 prisoners and fellow practitioners. In this dirty and foul-smelling environment we kept a clear mind, studied the Fa, recited the Fa and spread the Fa as well as clarified the truth to other prisoners. Later, none of the prisoners watched TV and they recited "Hongyin" together with us, did the exercises with us, and formed a small non-breakable one-body. The police came to torture us numerous times to get our confession, but no one cooperated. They often brought police officers from various places who brought family members to identify practitioners. Once when a practitioner's husband and the local police came to identify the practitioner, miraculously he did not recognize his wife! At that moment, his wife sat closest to the door. We know Master once again helped us. We all assured Master silently, steadily, we are against the evil, and do not allow the evil to get a reward because of us. The Shenyang City police had boasted that they would complete their tasks assigned by Jiang's group 100% and be rewarded.
4. In 2001, while being persecuted in the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, at the beginning they forced me to recite the rules and wear the prison uniform. I refused to recite the rules; they pushed me to the ground and attempted to force me to wear prison clothes. I had one very strong thought -- I would not wear prison clothes as I did not break the law. You cannot pressure me for 24 hours; I would take off the uniform once there was a chance. Once I became steadfast, the evil gave up. What Master said determines all; it all depends on our heart. All is done for us with Master's help, but our hearts must be steadfast. Master said in the article "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful":
"Why should you, a Dafa disciple, fear the evil ones when enduring persecution? The crux of the matter is that you have attachments. If not, do not endure passively, and face the evil people with righteous thoughts at all times. No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil's demands, orders, or what it instigates. If everyone does this the environment won't be this way."
I trust Master and believe in Dafa; no matter what the evildoers ordered me to do, I did not cooperate. For example: reciting prison rules, going to classes, doing the prison exercises, singing, working, unwrapping garlic; if it was in the prison's rule, I did not follow. I tore my nametags and bed label; I would shout out, "Falun Dafa is good," "Falun Dafa is righteous" whenever personnel from higher levels came for inspection. I know once I shout out, numerous evils in other dimensions will die. I destroyed all books and pictures slandering Master and Dafa whenever I saw any. Whenever I saw fellow practitioners get "reformed" under force, I would tell them they had done wrong. At that time, I had put down my life and let go of self. Regardless of being subjected to beatings and persecution after doing those things, what was on my mind was validating Dafa. As Dafa practitioners, no matter where we are, we must safeguard the Fa; otherwise, we do not deserve to be Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners. And under all circumstances, we should not slack off. I make use of all available time to study the Fa, recite Master's lectures, and make use of all usable opportunities to do exercises. Once the evil saw me practice, they would handcuff me and tie me with ropes. Sometimes the rope miraculously loosened. Some fellow practitioner told me, "You cannot practice for long; they will cuff and tie you." I said, "Doing the exercises is to validate the Fa. Even if they do not allow it, we will still do it." If they do not allow studying the Fa, we will still study; this is validating the Fa!"
One day a police chief asked me to listen to what he had to say and said, "Don't you practitioners want to be good people?" I told him, "Because we are good people, Jiang's regime illegally detains us. Why don't you report this to higher levels and release us good people? My purpose is to speak the truth about Master and Dafa and seek justice." From then on, the head ordered others to watch me 24 hours every day; two people during the day and two at night. I was detained in isolation and was monitored. Even when going to the toilet the surroundings would be cleared and I was forbidden to get in touch with anyone. Every day the prison radio and TV broadcast slander of Dafa and Master.
I started a hunger strike for 100 days to protest the persecution. I asked permission to resume doing the exercises and also asked for the unconditional release of all Dafa practitioners. And whenever the radio started to broadcast I would shout, "Falun Dafa is good, Falun Dafa is righteous" to validate the Fa. A hunger strike is a method used to oppose to the persecution and stand firm against the evildoers in situations where one has lost personal freedom. It is not for myself; it is to restore justice to my Master, for Dafa, to recover all Dafa practitioners' personal freedom, recover the environment for practicing; it is to wake up those whose minds have been poisoned; those who were willing to sacrifice their conscience to work for Jiang's group for fame and profit. A hunger strike and validating Falun Dafa will give them an opportunity to position themselves. But a hunger strike is an absolutely serious issue; if not based on the Fa and if one is not clear about the motive for going on a hunger strike (e.g., some practitioners go on a hunger strike in order to get out earlier or in order to appear to be sick), it will be very difficult to achieve the goal to undermine the evil. On the contrary, the wrong motive will let the evil take advantage of the loophole and the persecution could become worse. The basis for a hunger strike should be righteous. When I went on hunger strike for 100 days and it became very hard, Master's words enlightened me, that even when it is very hard to bear, it is still possible to bear. The police had tried all kinds of ways to make me eat. I said, "I'm using my pain to awaken your conscience." They would say, "If you continue like this, you will die." I steadily believe that a Dafa disciple's body is supernormal; they will not die once they put down the thought of life and death. I told them for insisting on the truth, Dafa practitioners will not regret dying. As a result, putting down the thought of life and death is not equivalent to death.
I recovered very quickly. It was quite amazing. This was a miracle displayed by Dafa.
5. During my ten days at the Liaoyang City Prison in Liaoning Province, the captain, Wang (last name), and some others came into my room and searched it. Most of Teacher's articles that had been copied by the three practitioners I shared the room with were confiscated. Wang asked me if I had any. I had a righteous thought, "I co-exist with Dafa, and these thugs don't deserve to see it." I pointed at my head and said, "It's all in here, I've memorized it all. You won't find anything." I had at that time the lectures "A Suggestion" and "Teaching the Fa at the 2001 Canada Fa Conference" hidden under my clothes as well as a Falun emblem in front of my chest, but they saw nothing.
One day while I was imprisoned in the Masanjia Second Female Prison, prison officials assembled all of the practitioners downstairs and searched us and our rooms. They were targeting steadfast practitioners who wouldn't transform. I had a righteous thought, "I co-exist with Dafa and the golden Falun." Lu Yaoqin, captain of the second division, yelled, "Bring out whatever you've got. Don't wait for us to find it and punish you!" Lu searched me for a while and found nothing. I knew that Teacher had again protected me. I thanked Teacher in my heart with tears in my eyes. I was searched many times in this manner, and because of Teacher's help they never found anything. As if by magic I've had the Falun emblem with me for 575 days and it's with me still. It's because I'm a particle of Dafa. Without Dafa, I wouldn't be who I am today. The Falun emblem belongs to me and no one can take it from me. I have enlightened through my tribulations that if we firmly believed in Teacher, He is with us. We can pass any test, no matter how difficult, if our first thought upon encountering it is on Teacher and Dafa. Teacher is right beside us, looking at our hearts. "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." (Zhuan Falun, official translation) Teacher has told us many times that he can resolve anything. "Disciples have abundant righteous thoughts; Teacher has the power to reverse the impossible." (Hongyin II, provisional translation) If we have fear in our hearts or wish to protect ourselves, Teacher isn't able to help us.
I read most of Teacher's lectures and articles while I was imprisoned. Some of them were passed to my by an officer who had awakened to the truth. The officer said, "I'll only give them to you, and I don't care if you exercise while I'm on duty." Every day I memorized the Fa, sent forth righteous thoughts, and practiced the exercises. One night I did all five sets of exercises while I was under surveillance. The officers all fell asleep. I knew Teacher was helping me.
On July 1, 2002, all the inmates were required to sing a song that commemorated the establishment of the CCP. The captain told a member of the monitoring staff to watch me and brought the others into the conference room to sing. I sent forth righteous thoughts, willing the staff member to fall asleep. In a very short time this person really did fall asleep. I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts for 20 minutes with the standing hand sign to eliminate the evil factors in the prison from other dimensions. In the evil environment, as soon as I used the standing hand sign, I felt powerful energy. I knew that Teacher had strengthened my energy. The staff member woke up and saw me sending forth righteous thoughts and beat me, but I felt no pain at all. I knew that Teacher had borne the pain for me. Teacher has shouldered so much for me. The thugs had beaten me during my hunger strike. When they force-fed me with salt water, I vomited a large amount of blood and a bad odor came from my stomach. They inserted a force-feeding tube into my stomach for a whole day without removing it. When I was tied to a bed, I knew my xinxing had dropped because I felt excruciating pain. When I recited the Fa and stayed peaceful, I had no pain in my mouth, nose or stomach. I knew Teacher was bearing it for me. I tearfully said to Teacher, "Teacher, there are no words in this human world to express my gratitude for your grace, the infinite grace of a Buddha!" I knew Teacher was by my side every moment. As long as I had righteous thoughts, the Fa would manifest its omnipotent power.
Tell the Truth with Heart, Dafa Will Show the Magic
A hundred days after I started my hunger strike, Teacher helped me get home. My first meal was porridge. I couldn't hold on to the chopsticks and the rice was falling. My body felt horrible. I considered my thoughts and realized that I was a practitioner and shouldn't be in this abnormal state, because my body is supernormal. I shouldn't acknowledge any hardship because Teacher and Dafa are with me and no one can persecute me. The next morning I had breakfast with my family. I ate what was there and my body didn't feel bad. My hands were stable and I didn't drop any rice. Teacher said in Zhuan Falun, "Good or evil comes from a person's spontaneous thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences." Then I understood why some practitioners died even after they left the prison or forced labor camp. It was because they didn't fundamentally deny the old forces and acknowledged the physical pain. Letting go of the attachment to life and death is not the same as dying. We can't treat this issue with human sentiments. We should deny it with a practitioner's righteous thoughts.
I used as much time to study the Fa and exercise as possible. I started clarifying the truth as soon as my body recovered. It started with my family. There were a lot of conflicts with my family at that time which put tremendous pressure on me, but the troubles were small when I looked at them based on the Fa. I had disappeared for more than 500 days and my family thought I was probably dead. They had sold the house. My husband couldn't find me and had an affair out of misunderstanding of and hatred for my practice. Of course, being a practitioner, I know there were other factors beneath the surface. My husband had spent all of the money and my child was unhappy with him. They blamed me for everything because I left. I told my family the truth about the persecution against Falun Gong, but those conversations always ended with my husband scolding me. My efforts to clarify the truth weren't working and my husband wanted a divorce.
My heart was wounded and I felt I'd been wronged. I forgot I was a practitioner and my mind became disturbed. Even friends help each other, how much more so should a husband and wife? I became unbalanced due to the mental pressure and my attachment to money. I should have had half the money from our house, and I could have used it to help save sentient beings, but he'd lost it all. I failed the tests repeatedly and regretted it afterward, so I calmed down and studied the Fa. Teacher said in the article "True Cultivation" in Essentials for Further Advancement,
"My truly cultivating disciples, what I have taught you is the Fa for cultivation of Buddha and Dao. Nonetheless, you pour out your grievances to me over the loss of your worldly interests, rather than feeling upset for being unable to let go of ordinary human attachments. Is this cultivation? Whether you can let go of ordinary human attachments is a fatal test on your way to becoming a truly extraordinary being. Every disciple who truly cultivates must pass it, for it is the dividing line between a cultivator and an everyday person."
I looked inward and realized I still had an attachment to human sentiments. I repeatedly studied the book Zhuan Falun. Teacher precisely explained the Fa principle on this issue,
"If this sentimentality is not relinquished, you will be unable to practice cultivation. If you are free from this sentimentality, nobody can affect you. An everyday person's mind will be unable to sway you. What takes over in its place is benevolence, which is something more noble."
My understanding advanced based on the Fa and a fellow practitioner inspired me.
A local practitioner and his wife, who was also a practitioner, did very well before the persecution started in 1999. They made the Fa rectification activities take off in our local area. This practitioner's wife died in the persecution, but that didn't stop him from wholeheartedly advancing the Fa rectification work in our area like he always had. I felt ashamed when I compared myself to him. Teacher compassionately helped me home so I could help save sentient beings, yet I had ended up becoming entangled in family conflicts. This was wrong. I stood in front of Teacher's picture with tears on my face and promised that I would let go of all my attachments and keep my thoughts on the big picture, saving sentient beings. I started clarifying the truth using my personal experiences to reveal the evilness of Jiang's regime. I told my family about all the persecution cases I knew about, and I told them why I had to go to Tiananmen. Dafa practitioners went to Tiananmen to validate the Fa, to appeal for justice for Teacher and the Fa, to expose the evil persecution, and to let the whole world know that Falun Dafa is good so Jiang's evil regime wouldn't persecute Falun Gong unchecked.
Initially my family supported me and supported Dafa. They stopped because of their misunderstandings and fear at seeing me persecuted. I gave them truth clarification materials and treated them with compassion. I let go of my attachment and tried to persuade them in the same way I would for anyone. I tried to be considerate of my husband and be nice to him from the perspective of an ordinary person. I continued to tell him the truth. He believed what I told him when he was in a good mood and accepted nothing when he was not. I tried very hard. Sometimes I was so frustrated that I too wanted a divorce. Through Fa study and Teacher's help, I realized what a practitioner should do. Teacher said in Zhuan Falun,
"We require the following of everyone: Even though you practice and your spouse might not, it is not permitted for you to get a divorce because of the practice."
I knew I should validate the Fa and save him. As time went by, even the woman he was having the affair with was touched and said, "She wasn't even afraid of the police, but was so nice to us." One day my husband came home and told me that she wanted to learn Falun Gong, but she was worried that I wouldn't teach her. I smiled and said, "This practice is the greatest thing. Anyone who learns it will benefit from it. I will teach anyone. Teacher taught me to be a good person and be considerate of others. I can't be rude to those who treat me poorly." I always tried to be kind hearted. My husband began to once again take care of the family, and he also spread the Fa and clarified the truth about Falun Gong.
Once a friend of my husband who suffered from several diseases was going out of town to look for a qigong master to teach him qigong. The moment he heard about it my husband told him, "Don't go anywhere. Just practice Falun Gong. My wife practices Falun Gong and I can ask her to teach you." When I went to teach him, his wife came to learn too. During the New Year of 2003, I didn't do much for my family because of my truth clarification work. One morning my husband was aggravated and sarcastically said, "You are so busy all day long, do you think maybe I can help?" I replied peacefully, "Actually you are helping me already. There is a lot of work at home during the New Year and you've taken care of it." In fact, nothing had been done at that time. I was working on it after I came home late at night. He was happy after I said that and told me, "Don't worry about the work at home. I will take care of it. Just do what you need to do." I realized that things got better as my xinxing improved. That was Dafa's power and Teacher's help. My husband used my experience to clarify the truth of the persecution to our relatives and friends. The outcome was good. I started to go out to clarify the truth again. In the process I also looked inward and tried to improve my xinxing. Initially I was easily influenced by others' reactions. I was happy when others accepted the truth and sad when they didn't. After studying the Fa, I realized that this too was wrong. The purpose of upgrading my xinxing and not thinking with human notions was to save sentient beings. If I try wholeheartedly and am not frustrated with what others say but have compassion, the situation will change and others will accept what I say more easily.
In my daily life, I have always had contact with a lot of everyday people, thus I have many chances to clarify the truth to them. Sometimes my bicycle would break, and I did not go the same repair shop, thus, I could tell the truth to more people. Every time that I needed to repair my bike, I told three to five people the truth about Falun Dafa. The results were very good. Some people asked for a CD or a booklet sometimes the truth materials were in short supply. Very often, I met some farmers; they sold vegetables or some of their other goods. I chatted with them, starting with some common everyday things. If it happened to be lunch hour, I would buy some steamed buns to share with them, they felt very touched, after that, the distance in between us became smaller and telling them the truth became easier and natural. They all began to realize what I was telling them at the end. Thankfully, these people they did not object to me, so I could easily answer every question they asked, I also gave them some CDs and booklets for them to bring home for relatives and friends.
One time, more than 10 people circled around a tractor to buy some beans; they were all hoping to pick the good ones out. I walked closer to them, then I sent forth righteous thoughts, eliminated all evil factors in other dimensions, which helped them listen to my words. I also picked out the good beans, but I did not pick them out for myself. Instead, I picked them out for them. I put all the good ones into their baskets, thus they all turned their heads and looked up at me. When I got close enough, I started to clarify the truth to them. I told them that several years ago, my health was in very poor condition, and that my blood pressure was very high, that I dared not to go downstairs, and that my wages were too low to see a doctor, so I could barely survive. Later on, when things changed, people asked me why I was full of spirit, and why I did not look like I had any sickness. I told them that after I practiced Falun Gong, all of my illnesses went away. Unfortunately, Jiang started to suppress Falun Gong, he even staged the self-immolation incident to deceive people. I told them they should not believe what the TV said. I also explained to them that our Master told us in the book, even insects and plants are lives and that we should not kill them; suicide was also a form of killing and should not be done. Who would be so stupid, after practicing Falun Gong and gaining a healthy body, to then go commit suicide? That propaganda deceives people. Furthermore, anyone who had common medical knowledge would know that after cutting the trachea in an operation, it would be impossible to talk, but on TV the little girl was still singing very loudly. Wang Jindong had been burned very badly, but the plastic soda bottle with gasoline which he was holding did not catch on fire at all. Some people said they did not believe what the TV said from the beginning, some people looked like they had been woken-up from being fooled and said: "Oh, that was what happened!" I gave them the CDs and little booklets. They all said that they would read them carefully at home, and they thanked me. I told them once again that Falun Dafa was good, and not to believe those lies on TV, and to clearly distinguish right and wrong, so as not to be deceived again. After they left, I clarified the truth to the vender who sold the vegetables. I bought vegetables but I did not pick out the good ones specifically, so the vender was very pleased by this. Thus, he accepted the truth, and understood completely about it, he also took the CDs and booklets and said he would pass them to everyone in his home town.
One time, I went to a village to spread truth materials. At night it would be too dark to see anything, so I started at 6 pm. I bumped into some high school kids, who were yelling something, and I was thinking of walking faster to avoid them, so I could pass out all the materials. But I had another thought: Where am I going? With all the mountain roads, I could not run too far. Suddenly I realized my previous thought was not righteous, as I did not do anything bad, and I came here to save them, for their own good. Since I already saw them, I should clarify the truth to them. After my righteous thoughts emerged, I spoke out loudly to them: Are you all students? They said yes. Because they did not know my identity, they circled around me and did not seem very friendly. I talked to them in a peaceful and pleasant voice, saying "My age is old enough to be your grandma, do I look like a bad person?" They all said no. Thus, I told them the TV reports about the self-immolation were all false. Falun Gong teaches Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance; it is the law of the universe. They were deceived by the lies on TV, which was why they did not know the facts. I also told them that anyone who disrespects Dafa will have to answer for it, and that it is not good for them. Besides, believing in Falun Dafa, would keep one away from disaster. The kids happily listened to it, and after accepting the truth-clarifying materials, they even helped me to pass them out.
Through this time of passing the materials in the remote villages, those far away villages were always in my heart, as they could hardly receive any truth materials. So I figured out a good way to do it. I went to the bus station to pass out materials. People from everywhere were there. I brought 80 pieces of materials and tapes, and I went to the bus station waiting room. I saw that altogether there were about 100 people waiting for the bus. I started to send forth righteous thoughts, and did not allow anything to interfere with distributing the materials, for I was doing the most righteous thing in the universe--saving people. During the process, only one person did not take it, the rest all accepted it. Some of them thanked me; I passed them out until all the materials were gone. The security guard did not even turn his head, and then I left.
One time, I went to the bus station again. Before arriving, I saw a big bus on the side of the road, full of farmers. I went up to have a look. The bus driver and the ticket seller were not there, and I went to the very end row. One by one I distributed the flyers, and told each person that understanding the facts would bring them luck, and asked them to pass the materials to their whole village. I told them it would be good for them. I passed out more than half of the truth-clarifying materials and tapes. I thought this was a chance arranged by Master. The rest of the materials and tapes I took to a nearby residential area and distributed them. I put a tape into a big iron mail box, and when the tape dropped inside, it made some noise. The house lady came out, so I went back to clarify the truth to her. The lady thanked me and expressed she would watch them. This experience really inspired me a great deal. As long as one's heart is not scared and remains calm, righteous, and kind to everyone, the result will turn out well, for Master is right beside us.
On July 20, 2004, I prepared to go to a very isolated small district to pass out materials and tapes. I was thinking how wonderful it would be if the night of July 20th had some rain. In the hot evening everyone stayed out chatting until 9 or 10 o'clock without sleeping and it would be difficult to pass out the flyers. However, if it rained, it would be easy to just pass out flyers in the staircases. On July 20th around 8 o'clock in the evening, I rode my bike there, and found everyone outside. I could only go to the staircase at the very end to pass out flyers. After I finished and came down from the stairs, I heard the rain pouring outside, and I thought it was really a miracle, and I sincerely thanked Master for help. I spread the materials to most of the buildings in the districts. I passed out all the CDs and booklets, I had brought more than 100 pieces. I felt like I should have brought more. On the way back the rain stopped, and I felt it was so magnificent, so I started singing "Falun Dafa is great" as I was riding away on my bike. "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." (Zhuan Falun). As long as we believe in Master there is nothing that cannot be achieved. Only by diligently clarifying the facts, will the opportunities constantly appear, as everything is arranged by Master. Sometimes I really feel that I do not have enough time to do things. If all practitioners step out to clarify the truth, and each practitioner talks to one person, then there will be one million people saved, and that number is very considerable. Combined with clarifying the truth face to face and passing out truth-clarifying materials, as well as with pasting materials on walls, and if we did it wherever we went, that would save a lot of time, and the results would also turn out very well.
My thoughts about Master's recent articles: "Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People", "In Fa-rectification Your Thoughts Have to be Righteous, not Human", and "My Version of a "Stick Wake-Up"-- these 3 articles were published one after another. These articles are for practitioners, to help them save sentient beings. Once again Master has revealed his compassion to us, to inspire and encourage practitioners to take the responsibility of saving sentient beings. If we make the best use of our time to do well the three things Dafa disciples should do, then we will rightfully fit the honorable title of Fa Rectification Dafa disciples. I believe that as long as we study the Fa well, always send forth righteous thoughts to purify ourselves each time we clarify the facts, and do not forget to send righteous thoughts, things will be done well.
For example, in my area practitioners made a lot of amulets; they had very beautiful pictures and greetings for the moon festival. We decided to pass them all out before the festival. I sent them to all practitioners and kept 200 pieces to distribute. There was only one day left, and time was urgent. I had the righteous thought that I would go to a place that had many people there. Master had said in the article: "Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People:"
"This is especially so for the Dafa disciples in Mainland China: each must come out and clarify the truth, bringing it to every field and valley, mountain and hill, not omitting a single area where there are people."
I was ready to go to the morning market to pass them out, as in the moon festival that day, the morning market would certainly have a lot of people to purchase goods. That morning about 7 o'clock, after sending righteous thoughts, I prepared 150 amulets and some truth-clarifying materials and booklets. I was walking toward the early market and at the same time sending forth righteous thoughts and I asked Master to reinforce me. The whole time I was sending righteous thoughts, and I felt very comfortable. Following the crowd, I went into the market. While walking, I was passing out the flyers and greeting them to have a happy moon festival, and told them to remember that "Falun Dafa is great" No one rejected it. Most of them smiled and said thanks. Two girls even came to me and said that they want to pass the materials for me, and before I reached the other side of the market, the 150 pieces were already passed out. An old gentleman came up to me saying that he needed one also. I said they were all gone, but that I had something even better. I gave him a CD and booklet, and he held it like a precious thing as he was leaving. I could feel Master's reinforcement and the magnificence of Dafa. All you have to do is to let go of the everyday people's heart. Keeping kindness in the heart is the right state of saving people. Indeed, it is really a miracle.
At night, I took 50 amulets and some CDs and booklets and went to another night market. I sent righteous thoughts and clarified the facts at the same time. I had enough time and also spoke very smoothly. When I gave one person an amulet, he said: "Falun Dafa is great, I believe in Falun Gong, Jiang Zemin will fall from power sooner or later." I asked him if he had seen the truth clarifying CD yet. He said that he hadn't. When I gave him the CD, there were three other gentlemen who asked for it too. The last amulet was given to a younger man. When he received it, he thanked me and reminded his 5 year old child three times not to lose it.
When the "Nine Commentaries" book issued by the Epoch Times and Master's article "We Are Not 'Getting Political'" were announced, clarifying the truth in Fa-rectification pushed forward to a new level. The standards for Dafa disciples to do the three things became even higher than before; the degree of difficulty in clarifying the truth also became higher. The previous level of doing truth clarification, sending forth righteous thoughts, and studying the Fa would now be far away from the standard of saving people. Clarifying the truth well should first of all be based on studying the Fa well. In order to completely understand the Chinese Communist Party's evil nature, I decided to read the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. I took this book home to share with my family, and my husband read the book with me. We finished the book very quickly, and then we watched the nine commentaries CD, and had further understanding about the evil of the Chinese Communist Party, and completely rid ourselves of the poisons that the evil party left in us. My husband also had some very deep understandings, which was something I didn't expect. That really inspired me even more to clarify the truth to people. If everyone can read the Nine Commentaries, it can really change them, and then they can be saved. That is Master's magnificent compassion, and the power of the Dafa.
At the last part of this article I would like to share with my fellow practitioners some words from Master's lecture:
"Snap out of it! If even this, the most wicked ordeal ever, can't wake you up, then when the Fa rectifies the human world you will only be able to watch--watch with shock and regret, with angst and lamentful despair for having done so poorly--the magnificent sight of the Consummation of those Dafa disciples who truly cultivated. It's a case of reaping what you sow. I don't want to leave behind even one single Dafa disciple, but you have got to improve yourselves through real Fa-study and cultivation! With validating the Fa, you should save the world's people and do well the three things Dafa disciples are supposed to do. Be diligent! Cast aside your human attachments. Godhood isn't far away." ("In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to be Righteous, Not Human")
