(Clearwisdom.net) After attending the New York Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference this year, I stayed in Flushing, New York to clarify the truth. Every day we went to subway entrances, the Flushing Library and supermarkets to talk to the local residents and distribute the Epoch Times newspaper. I had the experience of being surrounded and insulted by CCP agents and other people, but now people have become more peaceful. I would like to share my experiences with my fellow practitioners.

At the very beginning, we were misunderstood by many people who hadn't learned the truth about Falun Gong. I thought that we should clarify the truth to sentient beings with compassion, a peaceful mind, calmness and wisdom. When I distributed the Epoch Times newspaper, I was misunderstood by the local residents or harassed by CCP agents who attempted to cause disruptions. I realized that I should remain calm at all times so that I could send forth powerful righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil and help more people understand the facts. As I was distributing newspapers, I noticed that people were observing us. I realized that it's very important for us to show compassion, maintain a peaceful mind and be smiling when we clarify the truth.

Once I distributed the newspaper in front of a supermarket. Since the entrance and exit of the market were very close to each other, I distributed newspapers at the exit. I said loudly with a smile, "Hi, here is the Epoch Times newspaper!" An older lady saw me and said unpleasantly that she did not want to see the newspaper. After saying that, she walked into the supermarket. I knew that she was only rude because she had been deceived by the CCP's slander against us. I did not mind her behavior at all and kept handing out newspapers with a smile on my face. After a while that lady came out and said to me, "I want a copy of your newspaper." She then asked me for detailed information about the Flushing incident and gave me a chance to clarify the truth to her.

Under the scorching sun in Flushing, I kept handing out newspapers and talking to people for hours, which was not easy for me to do, especially when I was insulted by CCP agents or local residents. When this happened to me, I had to explain the facts to them patiently and calmly. Due to Master's care, as well as fellow practitioners' continuously sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil, many touching things happened.

One day, when I was distributing the Epoch Times newspaper in front of a supermarket, a male passerby said to me, "Young lady, don't worry. If someone hits you, I will hit him back." Sometimes, some people would give me a thumbs-up and say, "You Falun Gong people are really brave and outstanding!" Some people suggested to me that we should clarify the truth to more westerners and let them know about the evil nature of the Communist Party.

One time when I was distributing newspapers in front of a supermarket, I was insulted by a man who was deeply poisoned by the CCP. I did not respond to his insults and continued to hand out the newspaper. Later on, a gentleman who was 97-years-old came up to me and said that he wanted to advertise in the Epoch Times for three months and asked me how he could do this. I was surprised and thanked him for his support. After I wrote down his phone number, he told me, "You are very kind, and I believe that kindness will lead to a long life."

Another time a middle-aged couple came over and started loudly verbally abusing me. I told them, "The FBI is investigating the Flushing incidents. You might want to take a newspaper home and check if your pictures are in it." Upon hearing this, the initially aggressive couple fell silent and left without another word.
