(Clearwisdom.net) I would like to share my recent cultivation and truth-clarifying experiences with my fellow practitioners.
Master said in "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005 (Lecture and Q&A):" "That is why doing the three things well is cultivation, while doing only one of the three isn't." After I understood what Master said, I started to find many ways to clarify the truth, such as chatting in Internet chat rooms, making phone calls to clarify the truth, and going to Hong Kong to clarify the truth. I think I can qualify as a good practitioner only if I listen to what Master tells us. The first time I made phone calls, I immediately started talking to whomever answered. When I went to Hong Kong to clarify the truth to people face to face, I clarified the truth to everyone I met. If sometimes I did not want to talk or I was concerned about people's human notions, I eliminated my notions and told myself that I needed to be merciful to everyone and that everyone should be saved. In addition, I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts intensively every day, shared truth-clarifying experiences with fellow practitioners, and watched truth-clarifying videos. I was able to clarify the truth more and more effectively. My wisdom emerged effortlessly. Sometimes the tourists from mainland China gave me a "thumbs-up." Some tourists encouraged me and some tourists quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) immediately.
Along with the quick progress of Fa-rectification, right now at the Hong Kong tourist sites, we can help mainland Chinese tourists withdraw from the CCP directly. The world's people are gradually learning the truth. But every day the total number of people who withdraw from the CCP worldwide varies from 30 to 50 thousand. Some practitioners have said that it would be good if every practitioner could persuade one or two people from the tourist sites to withdraw from the CCP every day. But if we follow this pace, when will we get to the point where we can persuade 100 thousand people to withdraw from the CCP every day? That will truly frighten the Party. Some practitioners can persuade 20 to 30 people to quit the CCP every day at tourist sites. We should not put limits on ourselves. Especially when this is to save people. After looking at the numbers, I sent forth righteous focused on my need to persuade at least 10 people or more to withdraw from the CCP every day when I clarify the truth at the tourist sites. I think, "I have come to clarify the truth and help you to save your lives by withdrawing from the CCP." After I send forth the thoughts, I am able to persuade more and more people to withdraw from the CCP. If I could persuade one person to withdraw, I could persuade three people at the same time. Although at most I have persuaded eight people to withdraw from the CCP in one day and I did not achieve my goal of 10 people, I still witnessed the good effect of persuading people to withdraw from the CCP after I broke through my human notions and had the wish to save sentient beings.
After I came back to Taiwan. I told myself that even if I do other Dafa related projects, I still need to spend time making at least one phone call or going to an Internet message site to clarify the truth and persuade at least one person to withdraw from the CCP every day. Persuading one more person to withdraw from the CCP is giving one more person the chance to be saved. We should not just cast a net, we should catch fish. One night after I sent forth righteous thoughts, I saw that someone had called me through the Internet messenger. I said, "If you want to withdraw from the CCP, please say 1. If you want to withdraw from Communist Youth League, please say 2. If you want to withdraw from the Young Pioneers, please say 3. I can help you to withdraw from the CCP and its related organizations." He immediately said 2 and asked me to help him to withdraw from the Communist Youth League. Certainly the reason I could help him to withdraw from the CCP so smoothly was that the people who talked to me were already filtered by the Internet CCP Withdrawing Center and they were usually willing to learn the true facts. But this also let me deeply realize that there are many people waiting for us to clarify the truth to them. We must persuade them to withdraw from the CCP directly.
Recently Master said in "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital,"
"Don't become complacent just because you think you've done such and such, for there are so many sentient beings that we have yet to save. You still need to push yourselves so that you may establish even greater mighty virtue within a limited timeframe, and so that you won't have any regrets when all is said and done."
I think that if each of our practitioners can expand his or her capacity to find more time to clarify the truth and persuade people to withdraw from the CCP--and are not satisfied with just having work to do--then I believe we can immediately persuade more than 100 thousand people to withdraw from CCP every day. There is nothing Dafa cannot achieve.
I also remember that one day when I sent forth righteous thoughts, I felt that my body was very big and my mind was very calm. But for some reason, I felt my big body was a little bit empty. I could not understand why at the time. Later I heard from a practitioner whose celestial eye was open that although personal cultivation can improve our levels, if we don't clarify the truth, our worlds will be empty. In other words, if we clarify the truth, our worlds will be enriched. This Fa principle already made it clear that clarifying the truth is saving sentient beings, as well as enriching our own worlds. Recently Master mentioned again in "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital,"
"No matter what, you should do the final things even better and establish even greater mighty virtue. It is not for my sake or for the sake of Fa-rectification: It is for you yourselves."
Master mentioned it again and again in the Fa teaching. He nearly told us the ultimate truth. If we still do not understand and do not try hard to do it, we will not live up to Master's compassionate salvation. We will not provide what sentient beings expect of us. We will forsake the responsibility that history has bestowed upon us.
One time I was printing a persecution case in my dorm. Curious, my roommate asked me what I was doing. After I clarified the truth to him, he suddenly held my hand and said to me with great sincerity, "I will tell my descendants later that you were my roommate. You will definitely become famous in the future." At that time I just smiled and thought he was exaggerating. But later, when I studied the Fa, I was surprised to realize that it probably will come true. Master said in the article "Rationality" in Essentials for Further Advancement II,
"When this page of history is turned, the people who remain will see your magnificence, and the future Gods will forever remember this magnificent time in history. Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy--this is establishing the mighty virtue of an Enlightened Being."
Master has already told us everything and prepared the best for us. The only thing left for us is to understand the Fa and fulfill our task.
I started to cultivate the Fa nearly three years ago. I have encountered trials and hardships, falling and stumbling on the road of cultivation practice. I understand that I still do not meet the Fa's requirements for Dafa disciples and I still have many shortcomings. But I will continue to improve myself and do the three things better to save more sentient beings.
The above is my personal understanding. Please kindly point out any mistakes.
