(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Gong practitioner from a city in Northeastern China. I am 75 years old. I would like to report to Teacher how I have been helping people to withdraw from the CCP in the past few months and offering salvation to those who are predestined, in order to elevate myself in the Fa, to correctly walk on the righteous path, and to walk well on the final road.
Firmly Keeping in Mind the Mission Granted to Dafa Practitioners, to Offer Salvation to Sentient Beings
After studying Teacher's 2005 lectures, I deeply felt the heavy responsibility given to Dafa practitioners to offer salvation to sentient beings. Time is tight. In my heart, I only have one desire: Teacher is waiting for my good news. I must report to Teacher good news every day. Therefore I set up a daily schedule to do the three things well. I have been strictly following the schedule, rain or shine.
Every morning from 4:30 a.m. until 7:30 a.m., I spend three hours practicing the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts. From 7:30 a.m. to noon, I spend five hours clarifying the truth to ordinary people, distributing truth-clarifying materials, helping people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and sending forth righteous thoughts. In the afternoon, I spend about four hours peacefully studying the Fa, and sending forth righteous thoughts. In the evenings, I exchange experiences with fellow practitioners, and read materials on the Minghui website.
I understand that in order to clarify the truth and save people, it is important to help them see clearly the nature of the evil political party (CCP). We need to help people withdraw from the party, the youth league and the young pioneers so as to free them from the party's control. Therefore, I just go to public places and tell everyone who passes by the truth about Dafa, about the party's history of murder, the facts of how the CCP persecutes and harms the Chinese people, and the importance of protecting themselves because the gods intend to destroy the CCP. Those who understand express their willingness to withdraw from the CCP and its associated organizations. We then think of a name for them, write it down, and later, I ask some fellow practitioners to help publish these people's announcements to withdraw from CCP on the Internet.
Thus, I clarify the truth about Dafa every day and help about thirty to fifty people to withdraw from the CCP daily. In May, I helped about 500 people to withdraw from the CCP; in June, over 700 people, and in August, about 800 withdrew from the CCP with my help.
Before I clarify the truth, I first study the Fa well to eliminate my attachment of fear and to have a very calm mind. Furthermore, I regard everyone as my relatives. When my daughter did not withdraw from the CCP, I was not overly concerned. I would not let anyone miss the opportunity. Normally, I approach them just like very good friends. I think of many ways to befriend them and find points of interest to guide them into the topic of the wicked nature of the party. In this way, I can help them solve the puzzles in their minds.
Actually no matter how much I do, it looks like I am doing it on the surface. As a matter of fact, it is Teacher who is actually doing it, as well as all practitioners as a whole body.
Righteous Thoughts and Deeds, Letting Go of Ordinary People's Attachments
In rectifying the Fa, we need to cultivate ourselves well in order to offer salvation to sentient beings. Cultivating ourselves well demonstrates the mighty power of Dafa. During this process, we subconsciously expose some human attachments. Whenever loopholes occur, the old forces will interfere and use this chance to persecute us. We should instantly find our attachments and rectify ourselves. In keeping righteous thoughts and behavior, we can do things well.
On the morning of July 20, I was arrested and detained in the Qiaowai Police Station because I was clarifying the truth. At that time, I had over thirty names with me who wanted to withdraw from the CCP. I vaguely heard some sound that asked me to discard the name list immediately. I believed that it was interference from the old forces. The list was the lives of the over thirty people! How could I lose it? I am a Fa-rectification Dafa practitioner. What was I afraid of? They must unconditionally let me go!
As a result, with Teacher's protection, the police did not discover the list of names. The police said that they would search my home. While sending forth righteous thoughts, I said, "OK, let's go!" I wanted to be home at midnight to send forth righteous thoughts. After they interrogated me for over 20 minutes, the police said, "You can go now, quickly." Thus, I walked out of the police station. When I got home, it was 11:55; it was time for sending forth righteous thoughts.
At home, in retrospect, I looked for the reason why I was arrested. Definitely I had some loopholes. I repeatedly searched inside myself and discovered that I had the attachment of pursuing the number of people withdrawing from the CCP. At the same time, I also had the attachments of zealotry and showing off. I had always calculated in my mind how many I had got that day, and thought about how, on the next day, I would reach 30 to 40 people, or I would reach such a number by the end of the month, etc. Since I had been doing this very smoothly, I felt that it was very easy for me to help over 30 people to withdraw daily. Actually, Teacher had been continuously hinting to me, but I failed to understand. For instance, on several days, I had planned to get 30 people. Yet, after more than 20 people decided to withdraw, when I continued telling more people, they would tell me that they were not a member of any of the CCP's organizations. I was unable to get 30 people. I should have obtained a pure heart and done it naturally. I should not have had the pursuit for quantity. Teacher says, "...the entire cultivation process for a practitioner is one of constantly giving up human attachments." (Zhuan Falun)
Once I found my attachments, I eliminated them. From this lesson, I learned that when I clarify the truth to people, I should not have the concept of number. As a result, every day, I help about 30 people. Sometimes just before I leave to go home after helping more than 10 people, another10 would suddenly come and listen to me. Actually when I let go of my attachments, Teacher arranges for those predestined people to find me so that I can help them withdraw. This is the mercy of Teacher and Dafa. Helping people withdraw from the CCP is a process of cultivation for me. It is Teacher who is really saving people. As long as I have a pure heart, with the joint efforts of all practitioners, the situation will turn to the positive side for us, and it will be easier to do. Fellow practitioners make the truth clarifying materials, I just distribute them. Fellow practitioners type and publish the list of names I collect. I just do what I can and should do.
I must do well, and cultivate myself even better. I must constantly report good news to Teacher!
