Clarifying the Truth in the Marketplace

Fellow Practitioner's Small Booth

A few days ago my wife, also a Falun Dafa practitioner, and I went to a fellow practitioner's booth in a local food market. This practitioner sells pickled Chinese cabbage, which her customers love. Therefore, her business has been doing well. Her small booth is an excellent venue from which to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution and to save sentient beings. She held no fear because she studied the Fa diligently and clarified the truth nobly and righteously.

She was very glad to see us. At the time, an elderly man came to her booth and she said, "He already has been here several times and I need to clarify the truth to him." So, my wife and I sent forth righteous thoughts.

The practitioner asked the man, "Did you join the Youth League or the young pioneers in your youth?" The old man replied proudly, "Do you think that I'm only a member of the Youth League at my age? No, I am also a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as well." The old man said triumphantly, "I was a secretary of the prefecture Chinese Communist Party Committee and I am now retired." When the practitioner raised the issue of the corruption in China, the old man became very angry and began to curse the CCP saying that it had lost the support of the people. The practitioner told him, "Heaven will eliminate the CCP and it is important that you quit the CCP to stay safe!" She also clarified the truth to him. The old man quit the CCP happily and thanked the practitioner again and again before leaving.

At another time, when the practitioner clarified the truth to a man, he took out his ID and said to the practitioner, "I am a police officer." The practitioner smiled at him compassionately, "Police also need to be saved!" Finally, the policeman looked at her with a smile and said, "Please help me quit the CCP!"

Being Happy when Saving another Sentient Being

I am a practitioner from Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. Ms. Lu moved to our residential area early this year. Since our daughters were classmates we nodded and smiled whenever we bumped into each other. Last August, Ms. Lu's daughter came to visit and brought me something for my daughter.

That day, I went to Ms. Lu's home and was glad to find mother and daughter at home. We chatted for a while. Then, I talked about the trend of quitting the CCP and its subordinate organizations as well as the truth about Falun Dafa. They were very shocked to learn the truth and agreed to quit on the spot. Ms. Lu also expressed her wish to do the "three withdrawals" for her husband, who was at work. I told her that it must be agreed to by the person him/herself. Ms. Lu said her husband believed in Buddha very much and would certainly agree.

Later, I sent a truth-clarification flyer to Ms. Lu. When I met her a few days later she said, "The flyer you gave me the other day was very good so I passed it on to my younger sister. She also told me that she went to attend a wedding and during the banquet someone said something bad about Falun Dafa. She immediately corrected the person and then clarified the truth to those attending the wedding. Finally, Ms. Lu said happily, "I am now promoting the principles of 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance!" I really felt happy for a non-practitioner like Ms. Lu who had learned and accepted the truth.
