(Clearwisdom.net) A few days ago when I was urging people to renounce their membership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, one person after another refused. This was a situation that I had not met with in the past while clarifying the truth. I realized that my compassion and kind thoughts were not strong enough. Because I was not calm, these people lost a precious opportunity.
In the past, I studied the Fa every day and increased the frequency of sending righteous thoughts, and within two weeks I had collected one to two lists of names of people who renounced their CCP memberships. I distributed truth clarifying VCDs, made a few phone calls to clarify the truth, and I did the three things every day. It was as though I was on "automatic pilot," and I had no sense of urgency. When I went to another province and exchanged experiences with another practitioner, I saw that the practitioner did everything for others and was urgently making use of all his time to offer salvation to others. I really felt ashamed of my attachment to comfort.
Practitioner A shared many experiences of clarifying the truth. With another practitioner, he urged everyone in his village to renounce his or her CCP memberships. They tried to think of every possible way to persuade the sole village cadre who did not follow suit. To clarify the truth they wrote letters, and a few days later, another practitioner went and persuaded this person to renounce his CCP membership.
Now these two practitioners are clarifying the truth face to face. They ride their bicycles every day and do such things as asking for directions or asking about the latest news to start a conversation. When there are fewer people, they clarify the truth more directly. When buying things, it is even easier because they can speak quietly right next to the person. Most of the time, the person does renounce his or her CCP membership.
This practitioner said that, in the past, it was good if five out of ten people were persuaded. Now, as the wave of Fa rectification pushes forward, he feels that sentient beings are all waiting to be saved. They are all waiting to hear the truth. Now, eight out of ten people are willing to renounce their CCP memberships. Every day he has been able to collect a list of a dozen names of those renouncing their CCP memberships. If it is fewer, he feels that he has let down Master's compassionate salvation and the long wait by sentient beings. This practitioner is in his 70s. He used to be a factory head for an aluminum manufacturer. Nowadays he has undertaken the responsibility of distributing truth clarifying materials and the coordination work in this district.
Practitioner B used to work in the legal arena. She made use of her knowledge of the law and legal proceedings to collect information and create a database about the practitioners involved in the persecution. Details of the different villages, townships, and counties were difficult to collect. It was difficult to gather details about the persecutors, and some practitioners would be unwilling to expose them for fear of the consequences. Each time she obtained any information, she rode her bicycle or took public transport to look for the persons involved and interviewed them. When she learned of a case where a practitioner was persecuted to death, she started by collecting information, suing the persecutors, and looking for lawyers. Despite the lack of funding, she overcame the odds to make a breakthrough and sued the persecutor. She wanted to let the persecutors know that when you persecute Falun Gong practitioners, it does not end there. The practitioners and their family members will take you to court.
This is currently still very difficult in China, but someone must do it. She took the initiative to take on this responsibility. She has many things to do every day, but she still studies the Fa, practices the exercises, sends righteous thoughts, and clarifies the truth. She sleeps less instead.
Many practitioners like these are quietly practicing. They have been silently assimilating to the Fa and taking the initiative to cooperate. They are fulfilling their vows to Master and accomplishing their great missions.
