(Clearwisdom.net) One day when I visited Leisure Square, I met an old gentleman who looked miserable. As he combed his hair with a wooden comb, he looked very unhappy. I walked up and asked, "What's the matter, sir?" He said, "I've had a stroke. Taking medicine doesn't help. I am 80 years old, but I am still alive. Being alive is suffering, but I just won't die." He looked very sad.
I said, "It is not good to look forward to death. Life is very precious. Nowadays, people who live well are those with a lot of virtue. Did you join the Young Pioneers when you were young?" He replied, "Nope. My family was too poor to send me to school. I am not educated." I said, "Do you know that practicing Falun Gong is good for health?" He replied: "No. I haven't heard of it." I said, "If you say to yourself 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,' you will get better." He looked puzzled, so I explained to him, "Falun Gong teaches 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' It teaches us to tell the truth and not lie, to be kind to others, and to think about others first. Whenever there is conflict, we need to look within to see what we have done wrong first. Besides, we always pay attention to others' strengths. We don't retaliate physically or verbally."
He started nodding his head very excitedly and said, "You are such a good person! We haven't met before, but you have told me so many good values. I am feeling much better now. I feel like I am getting better. Suddenly, I am getting better!"
I said, "It is so, because Falun Gong is a good practice. You have accepted that it is a good practice, so you feel much better now. You have experienced the miracle of Dafa. Please say to yourself 'Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,' and you will feel better and better." He nodded with great excitement.
Once I met a lady in her 60s on a train. She sat next to me. Taking advantage of our three-hour journey, I told her the facts about Falun Gong thoroughly. She was very willing to hear what I had to say and thanked me repeatedly. She withdrew from the Party and its affiliated organizations.
I had some songs about Falun Gong on my MP4 player, so I asked if she would like to listen. She refused and explained, "I was in a car accident. Except for my eyes, many areas bled. Ever since then I cannot stand to hear music, so I cannot listen to your songs." I showed her a clip and offered her my ear plugs. She did not refuse this time. She watched it carefully and was impressed.
When she finished the video, she said to herself aloud, "Why was I able to tolerate this sound, since I have problems with my ears? That is pretty strange." I told her, "That's because you have chosen well, and your ears have resumed functioning." I mentioned withdrawing from the Party and its affiliated organizations. She said, "Yes, please withdraw me from the Party and its affiliated organizations--and not only me, but also my family members."
Clarifying the truth is really enjoyable. It is a happiness that echoes from one's true self. During this process, I have been aware of Master's plan and his care. I will definitely continue clarifying the truth and do a good job.
