(Clearwisdom.net) Over the past ten or eleven years, Falun Gong practitioners in my city have been using a variety of ways to clarify the truth about the persecution. As a result, many people now understand Falun Gong, know that Falun Gong practitioners are good citizens who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and know that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is responsible for the illegal persecution. After understanding the actual situation, many people no longer hated or discriminated against practitioners. Some, in sympathy, even began to help. The following are a few incidents personally experienced by a practitioner:
1. An Older Lady Cries
The practitioner entered an apartment building and walked up to the sixth floor. She saw an older lady in the hallway and walked up to her, saying "Hi, I'm a Falun Gong practitioner. I'm here to give out truth-clarification materials." A neighbor, who was cooking inside, had her door open and overheard what the practitioner said. She came out and asked, "What are you here for?" The older lady waved her hands, saying, "Go on inside." When the practitioner hesitated, the older lady shook her head, saying, "Go on in, deliver your articles personally." When the practitioner came out again, the older lady hugged her and said with tears in her eyes, "Isn't it tough doing this on such a hot day? You're sweating. You're all good people. I support Falun Gong." The practitioner herself was moved to tears.
2. A Lady Who Helped Distribute Truth-clarification Materials
One morning, the practitioner entered an apartment building to start delivering informational materials. A lady walked past, and the practitioner asked, "Have you just come back from morning exercises?" The lady asked, "What are you doing here?" The practitioner replied, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. I'm here to deliver truth-clarification materials." As the practitioner spoke, she handed over a leaflet and the lady said "Let me have three, I'll give one to each house." She added, "Take care of yourself."
3. A Taxi Driver's Gratitude
The practitioner took a cab to run an errand and told the driver about the persecution. She asked the driver, "Have you heard about the movement to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations?" "No I haven't," was the reply. The practitioner began telling him that natural disasters are warnings from heaven, and how one can obtain peace and safety by renouncing Party membership. The driver immediately replied, "Great, let me park my car. You have to tell me more about this, this sounds like a good thing!" The practitioner explained in detail about the CCP, why the heavens will exterminate the Party, and why withdrawing from the Party brings peace and safety. The driver immediately asked to withdraw for himself, his wife, and their child. She told him, "Very good, but you have to tell them about this when you get home. It is only effective when they truly want to do it from the bottom of their hearts." He replied, "Sure, that's no problem." Before the practitioner left the car, the taxi driver said repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you."
