(Clearwisdom.net) After several years of practicing, I have come to realize that as long as we follow Teacher's request to study the Fa, practice the exercises, send forth righteous thoughts every day, and look inwards when running into problems, we will meet with fewer interruptions when clarifying the truth. Also, Teacher will bestow on us inspiration and wisdom, protect us all the time, and bring people with predestined relationships to us. As long as we pay attention, we will find many ways to clarify the truth.
I obtained the Fa in April 1999. Soon afterward, the April 25 appeal and the onset of the persecution on July 20 happened. I went through a very difficult mental process--it was like a nightmare I could not comprehend. Falun Dafa was such a good practice. It teaches people to behave properly, upgrade their moral standard, and provides only advantages with no drawbacks to society or the world. Why would some people oppose Falun Dafa? What were these people in power thinking? Which direction would they lead the country to? Where would they place the Chinese people? My heart was in a lot of pain, and my soul was shedding tears. When I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, I witnessed the illegal arrest of many practitioners. In prison, I could hear practitioners being physically abused by the guards. So I made a decision to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to people and shatter the evil's lies.
I lived in an impoverished town in a rural area. When I began to distribute truth-clarification materials, I would obtain the materials from another area, and the amount was very limited. At the time, the persecution was quite severe, and it was very hard to clarify the truth face-to-face to strangers.
I was working in a grain depot and my work involved paying large amounts of cash to farmers. Facing bundles of one-hundred-yuan bills, I started thinking... and suddenly Teacher gave me inspiration. I thought, "What a good idea it would be to write 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good' and 'Falun Dafa is good' on the bills. They would be circulated and would not be discarded. So many people would read it." So I wrote on the one-hundred-yuan bills before I paid them out to the farmers. After I took early retirement in 2004 I wrote on smaller bills before I would spend them when shopping.
In 2004, I attended my niece's wedding. At the ceremony, I acted as the representative of the bride's relatives and made a speech to offer a blessing. I told all the guests that by following the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," their paths would become wider and wider, and their futures brighter and brighter.
Each time I went shopping, called on relatives and friends, or attended alumni gatherings, I brought truth-clarification materials; money with truth-clarification messages written on them, fliers, booklets, and CDs with me. I paid for things with the bills, distributed the fliers and booklets, and clarified the truth to friends and alumni. No matter what I did, I thought of truth-clarification and saving sentient beings.I welcome fellow practitioners to point out my shortcomings.
