(Minghui.org) When I came home from college for vacation in 1998, I noticed that my mother's skin had become smooth and vibrant. She explained how she had started practicing Falun Gong. I started doing the exercises, too. However, I didn't begin studying the Fa until 2011.
As I developed a deeper understanding of cultivation, I understood that compassionate Master hadn't given up on me – a disciple who had lagged behind. I can only strive to be diligent to express my gratitude.
Study the Fa Well
At first, I didn't know how to tell people about Falun Gong. People whom I met on the streets did not understand what Falun Gong was. After I memorized Zhuan Falun once, I was suddenly able to clarify the truth. Everyone had different questions, but I was able to answer them. I didn't know where my wisdom came from. I can't help but tear up as I write this article. Thank you, revered Master. Studying the Fa well is the basis for everything. The Fa has all the wisdom and our wisdom increases when we assimilate more to the Fa.
I sit in the full lotus position each time I study the Fa and it was difficult initially as my legs were in pain. It became more and more comfortable as I persisted and I can now clearly sense the energy field when I study the Fa.
I said to my mom one day, “Let's meditate for five hours.” My mom initially thought that this was impossible. After sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight one evening, both of us meditated for five hours. We were still energetic the next day although we hadn't slept much that night.
I found that reading more Dafa materials helps me clarify the truth well. I watch all the DVDs that I distribute. I also re-watched those that I feel are particularly effective.
I'm not moved when encountering people who repeat the lies fabricated by the Party when I clarify the truth. I ask them calmly, “Do you know what Falun Gong is?” They reply that they don't know. I tell them, “Since you don't know, how can you judge it? Why are there so many people in every city and village willing to risk their lives and say Falun Gong is good? If it's not good and they didn't really benefit from it, why will those thousands of people continue?” Afterward, I continued to talk about the terrible things the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has done and generally these people are able to quit the Party and its affiliated organizations. Some even said that they would like to learn Falun Gong.
I initially had the attachment of fear when I talked to people about Falun Gong. Thus I worked hard to memorize the Fa. My attachment of fear become smaller the more I memorized the Fa. I wasn't able to think about being afraid when I didn't think about myself.
Clarifying the Truth with Compassion
I seize every opportunity to tell people about Falun Gong, whether I'm at the bus stop, public bus or the lobby of a bank.
Once, I met a policeman on a bus when I was telling people about Falun Gong. He agreed with me initially but when I came to the topic of the staged Tiananmen Square Self-immolation, he said harshly, “You practice Falun Gong, am I right? I'm a policeman. I'll arrest you if you continue to talking.” I smiled, “I see that you look so kind...” and started chatting with him. I talked about the law of the universe; the vastness of the universe; and billions of galaxies are spinning at high speeds, but we don't see of them bumping into another. I also mentioned that the universe has a regular pattern and humans know little about it. In the end, he seemed to be fascinated and even agreed to quit the Party. I encouraged him to learn Falun Gong and he agreed.
I enlightened that during the process of clarifying the truth, I have to treat everyone like a friend, regardless of who they are. We cannot think that the police are evil when talking with them, or that they are a special group of people. Instead, we must bear in mind that they may be here to obtain the Fa.
As I distribute the DVDs face to face, I examine the contents carefully before distributing them. I found that there are still people who stubbornly follow the Party but when live organ harvesting is mentioned, they change their attitude. It was quite easy for them to quit the Party and its affiliated organizations afterward. I use a catchy phrase when distributing the DVDs, for example, “Watch this to understand why Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun were arrested” and hundreds of DVDs can be distributed within an hour. Often, I distribute the DVDs at crowded places as I walk along and finished quickly.
Often, someone asked if this is Falun Gong when I was distributing the DVDs. I answered proudly, “Yes.” Many times, that person responds, “Falun Gong is good.” Some told me they wish that good people like me will be safe and I wish them the same.
I saw police cars a few times while distributing the DVDs. I was not moved when they passed by. There were two times when I was distributing the software that breaks through the Internet firewall near the city hall and the police kiosk was just a dozen meters away but I distributed hundreds of DVDs calmly. Two people refused and even said loudly, “Falun Gong,” but I ignored them and continued to distribute to others. Someone whispered to me, “Is it Falun Gong?” I said, “Yes, there is Falun Gong related content inside it.” That person smiled as he accepted it.
There are many roadside restaurants and shops in the summer and many people have their meals outdoors. Once, a table of five asked me to tell them about Falun Gong. I smiled as I sat down. Initially, they called Master by his full name, but later changed to respectfully calling him “Master.” One of them raised his hand sincerely and vowed to quit the Communist Young Pioneers. He even asked if Master will know about it.
I distributed a few thousand DVDs, including software that breaks through the Internet firewall, in six months and hundreds of people have quit the Party and its affiliated organizations.
Whatever we do, we have to pay attention to sending strong righteous thoughts during the process of clarifying the truth. This is also closely linked to studying the Fa well.
Doing My Regular Job Well and Harmonizing My Surroundings
Dafa disciples have to do well in their regular jobs and this will help when validating the Fa and clarifying the truth.
Many people are selfish. If they feel they will benefit from being near people who practice Falun Gong, they will naturally want to be near us. They will admire us and want to be in contact with Falun Gong when we do our jobs well and have success.
Although my family supports my practice, they are opposed to my clarifying the truth. However, they became supportive of my efforts when they saw how well I was doing in my regular job.
I have to seize the last predestined relationship in cultivation and work even harder to do the three things well, try to save more people and return home with Master.
