(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. In the past eleven years, Teacher has given me so much care and protection. What Teacher has done for me is simply immense. The persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20 1999, after which I wrote the so-called guarantee statement, stating I would no longer practice Falun Gong. That did not stop me from secretly studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, but when I read Teacher's "Teaching the Fa at the Great Lakes Fa Conference in North America" in December 2000, I suddenly came to realize that I hadn't been following the principle of Truthfulness. Later, by studying the Fa more and sharing my understandings with fellow practitioners, I became mature. I'm here today. Thank you, Teacher! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
Teacher asked us to do well with the three things. It's extremely important to clarify the truth and save sentient beings since it is our historical responsibility and we are realizing our historical vows as we do this. I'd like to share some of my experiences and understandings from my truth-clarification.
Clarifying the Truth to Those Who were Directly Involved in Persecuting Falun Dafa Practitioners
During the past few years, we have used different ways to clarify the truth to those agencies that were directly involved in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners, including the County Politics and Legislation Committee, Public Security, the County Committee, the People's Parliament, the Political Negotiation Committee, etc. Meanwhile, we explained the truth to over 1500 branches of these departments, including the county governments, community committees, police substations, etc. We used different materials for different people. We periodically mailed truth-clarification materials to them, including the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party booklets, and flyers. Sometimes we also talked to them in person. The practitioners in our area coordinated efforts. We sent forth righteous thoughts to dissolve the evil elements behind those departments. We mailed out over 200 copies of materials every week. After that, we personally talked to people in those departments. Some of the people came to understand the truth as soon as they read the materials and they gladly quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and/or its affiliated organizations. Some said they admired our courage. Of course, there were people who turned in the materials and tried to use them as evidence to persecute practitioners. In order to save those people who weren't able to understand the truth, we continued to send them the facts on Falun Gong. There are about 270 villages in our county, and we clarified the truth to all of them. Many government officials learned the truth in this manner and no longer participated in the persecution.
Clarifying the Truth and Helping Ppeople Quit the CCP and its Affiliates at Weddings and Parties
When my relatives and friends held wedding ceremonies or had parties for graduations, birthdays, or when moving, I attended them as long as I was invited, even though I needed to purchase gifts. One time I heard that one of my coworker's children was getting married. He didn't invite me since the ceremony would be at his hometown in a remote area. I knew there weren't many people who had learned the truth in that area, so I talked to my husband, who gladly agreed not only to go with me but also agreed to pay for the gifts. He usually spent money very carefully and he managed his own salary. It was probably because of my righteous thoughts that Teacher helped me. At the wedding ceremony, I helped 28 people quit the CCP and its affiliates.
This spring, one of my coworker's sons got married. Since she had informed me in advance, I had prepared enough truth-clarification materials. I lived with her family members for three days and I had the opportunity to visit over 30 families with materials and gifts. I helped 174 people quit the CCP and its affiliates.
Clarifying the Truth to Farmers When They Come to Town
Once I met a farmer who was selling rice. Even though I didn't need rice she kept talking and talking as she hoped that I would buy about 35 pounds of rice from her. I had a thought that there must a predestined relationship between us so I agreed to buy rice from her. On the way to our home, I explained the truth of Falun Dafa to her. She immediately realized the truth and she said, "Falun Dafa is good." I gave her a package of materials, including my only copy of the Chinese New Year Gala, the Nine Commentaries booklet, and some truth-clarification materials. I asked her to pass on the materials to her family and neighbors, and told her that she would be rewarded when she helped save those people. She happily left with all the materials.
During the past few years, I have talked to people wherever I go. Every month, I have helped at least 100, and sometimes over 200 people quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliates. Compared with my other diligent fellow practitioners, I still have room to improve. Still, I always try my best. There is still a lot of work to do since there are still many people that haven't heard the truth. They are waiting for us to save them. We must strive forward diligently. We must successfully finish the mission that Teacher has entrusted us with.
