(Clearwisdom.net) A few days ago, a fellow practitioner told me that his cell phone did not work well when he was making telephone calls. I used to encounter the same problem when I was making calls to tell people the truth about Falun Gong. I would like to share my experience with fellow practitioners.
Initially, when I bought the cell phone, I had a deep-seated fear. I was always thinking about where to make phone calls. I even paid a great deal of attention to the size of the paper on which I wrote down the telephone numbers as well as what time would be perfect for me to make calls. I kept focusing on those things and the cell phone just stayed at home for several days. I realized that I was being interfered with by the old forces who do not want us to save sentient beings. I knew I had to get over it and keep strong righteous thoughts.
I started to make phone calls at night. However, it always seemed that either no one answered the phone or the person hung up very quickly. Not only that, there was something wrong with my cell phone. One key on the board did not work right. I asked fellow practitioners for help and even wanted to get a new cell phone. To my big surprise, it worked pretty well when another practitioner used it. I was shocked. I knew that it was my fear that caused the cell phone to not work. It was also due to my fear that I wanted to make calls at night, because at that time of day it would not be easy for others to identify me or notice what I was doing. When the phone rang several times and no one answered it, I felt so nervous that I wanted to hang up quickly. I should have had righteous thoughts and realized that the person was called because I needed to let him know the truth. Because I hesitated, the old forces were able to take advantage of my loopholes. The call would not come to an end unless it said, "I cannot answer the phone right now."
I found my attachment and strengthened my righteous thoughts. All the sentient beings came for the sake of the Fa and they have the right to know the truth. Obviously, no one should keep them from learning the truth. From that point on, when I was making calls, although the defective key still did not work well, instead of being nervous, I stayed calm. The old forces were not able to take advantage of my loopholes anymore. Afterward the key worked just fine.
Initially, because I always called people I knew, I had a human notion that one person might definitely listen to me while another might not. However, it always went the opposite way. The person who I thought would listen to me always hung up very quickly. In addition, another key on the board stopped working. I looked inwards and realized that my human attachments and notions were interfering with my cell phone. Dafa practitioners all have energy. If I thought that if this person would not listen to me, it would be highly possible that he would refuse to listen to another practitioner. That thought came from my human attachments. A fellow practitioner said, "If you have strong righteous thoughts and are willing to save sentient beings, you will think that you are definitely able to offer him salvation and not be afraid of anything." I told my cell phone, "We both came for the sake of the Fa. We should fulfill our vows, cooperate well, and eliminate all the evil in other dimensions who try to stop us from making calls and saving sentient beings." After I got rid of my human attachments, the key worked. More and more people listened to my calls, and some even listened for more than ten minutes.
There was a period of time when I was lazy and did not make calls. Later, when I picked up the cell phone again to make calls, the call often came to an end abruptly. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil and continued to make calls. I thought of those sentient beings who did not know the truth. The next day, the cell phone worked again. The old forces have been watching us, looking for an excuse to persecute us. We cannot take a break from saving sentient beings.
One day when I was making a phone call, I was told, "Your account is overdrawn." In fact, I still had a few dozen yuan left in it. I knew that what happened was just a manifestation of my cultivation state.
Occasionally, I was insulted by ordinary people. Initially, I was frustrated. However, I steadfastly followed the principles of the Fa and corrected myself. I felt sad for the people who were not being saved. I knew that this thought was not a human attachment to sentimentality but compassion. In the meantime I looked inwards, trying to figure out whether it was due to my human notions.
The above is my experience of making phone calls to save people. I also want to tell fellow practitioners, "Do not have such human thoughts before making calls or be afraid of being misunderstood. If you really start doing it, you will eliminate the evil. As long as we have righteous thoughts, the old forces will not dare to interfere with us. Think of the sentient beings. Do what a Dafa practitioner is supposed to do."
