(Minghui.org) Master said, “It was Dafa—the Great Way of the universe—that created the cosmic body, the universe, life, and all of creation. Any life that turns away from Dafa is truly corrupt. Any person who can align with Dafa is truly a good person, and will be rewarded and blessed with health and happiness. And any cultivator who is able to become one with Dafa is an enlightened one—divine.” (“On Dafa” in Zhuan Falun)

I have been involved in the RTC phone call project for almost a year. I feel in my heart that a genuine cultivator, apart from letting go of his or her human attachments, must truly assimilate into the Fa. This way, practitioners will achieve what Master expects of them.

Mission in Life

My parents and I began to cultivate in Dafa when I was seven years old. After I turned 11, I went to Tiananmen to validate the Fa year-after-year, until I moved overseas a year ago. Master arranged things so that I could clarify the facts about Dafa to people face to face all these years.

At the onset of the persecution in 1999, my mom and I often walked to far-away places to distribute Dafa truth-clarification materials. When I was hungry, I ate cucumber and tomatoes that Mom had brought along. When I was tired, Mom carried me on her back. We distributed Dafa informational materials door to door.

When Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, my parents said that it was a magical book. We distributed copies every evening. Once I went to the lake on my own and met a kindhearted old man. I told him about the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Before I said goodbye, I plucked up my courage and gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries. That was the first time I felt the power of righteous thoughts when clarifying the facts to people face to face.

When we learned that people could withdraw from the CCP organizations, my friends and I started to clarify the facts to adults in our residential area and helped them quit the CCP and its associated organizations. Although I was only a teenager, I knew deeply in my heart that clarifying the facts to people face to face was the mission that Master had arranged for me.

I made a vow to Master before I came abroad that if I would make it, I would try my best to do well and clarify the facts about Dafa to people directly, so that more Chinese people could be saved. Indeed, as soon as I arrived overseas, Master arranged for me to join the RTC project, through which I could clarify the facts directly to the precious Chinese people.

Improving Xinxing Through Making Phone Calls

The first person I called quit the CCP almost immediately. This person also advised me on how to talk more rationally and in a peaceful tone on the phone. This first phone call encouraged me greatly.

However, when I started focusing on the number of people that I helped quit the CCP organizations, people at the other end of the phone line told me that I was selfish and that I called them out of my own interest. This was a lesson on looking within when encountering problems. Every time I called, I felt my xinxing improving, too.

Sometimes, people refused to listen to me after I had called them a couple of times. However, when I called again and held strong righteous thoughts, they changed their minds and agreed to quit the CCP. Master told us, “One's gong level is as high as one's xinxing level, and this is an absolute truth." (Zhuan Falun) I felt deeply that only when I change myself for the better would my truth-clarification be more effective.

In order to do well, I asked my non-practitioner friends to listen to me when I made phone calls. I have two notebooks next to me when making phone calls, one for keeping record of the phone numbers I dialed and taking notes of the feedback; the other for writing down good phone scripts and alias names people like, as well as my cultivation experience.

For me, making phone calls is like taking a wonderful journey, to which I must commit myself one hundred percent. Only then will I truly be able to save people.

Still Cultivating

As Fa-rectification progresses, I understand the importance of saving sentient beings more and more. I made up my mind that I would I study the Fa and make phone calls every day, not just in the evenings, but during the day time as well. The biggest interference facing Dafa practitioners overseas is the attachment to comfort, and it is by no means easy to keep up with making phone calls every day.

Once I felt feverish and had a sore throat. My family member (also a practitioner) suggested that I drink some green bean soup and do the exercises with him instead of making phone calls. He said that even though I'm a cultivator, I am still cultivating in this flesh body.

I agreed with his suggestion, got up from the bed and did the exercises. Afterwards, I went to bed again and listened to Master's Fa lectures. It was close to the time to make phone calls and I was not sure what to do. Just then I heard a voice in my mind that said, “Are you a cultivator?” I was startled and thought, “Yes, I'm a cultivator. Then, why am I lying in bed like an ordinary person?” I got up immediately and switched on the computer. A new practitioner was online that day and if I had not come online, I would have missed this new practitioner.

Predestined Relationship with Dafa

I talked with a number of people who had a predestined relationship with Dafa over the next days. There was this lady who used to practice Tantrism. She had some misunderstandings about Dafa. I told her that close to 100 million people had practiced Dafa by 1999, and talked about the persecution and forced organ harvesting. She told me that she had some negative feelings towards Dafa because she was arrested once by police when she attended a Tantric activity. They had mistakenly thought that she was a Dafa practitioner. She told me that she now felt a deep affinity with Dafa. I told her how to break through the Internet blockade so that she could access the Minghui website and read the book Zhuan Falun.

The next day, I talked with a man for almost half an hour, who at first verbally abused me. I thought that I would hold righteous thoughts and not be moved by his abuse. He asked me if it was true that practitioners do not take medication and do not go to hospitals. I asked why he still swore at me, but he did not answer and kept going. I kept looking within and at the same time talked to him about Dafa, about the movement to quit the CCP, and about how Dafa had spread worldwide.

Suddenly, he stopped and asked me to tell him more about Dafa. I told him my cultivation stories, and the benefits that my family members have enjoyed since they began practicing Dafa. Then, I explained that I had to leave China because I practiced Dafa, yet I still make phone calls to Chinese people every day to tell them about Dafa.

He was quiet for a minute and then apologized, “I'm very sorry young lady. I apologize for what I've said. I feel really ashamed for what I said earlier. Many years ago, someone in my family also practiced Dafa. He got sick, didn't go to a hospital for treatment, and died.”

“I don't blame you,” I said. “You said those things because you didn't know the facts. I'm sorry for your family member who passed away, but I would like to help you understand that Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good through my personal experiences.”

In the end, I helped him quit the CCP and he thanked me for my patience.

Then, I talked with an old man who lives in a remote mountainous region. Due the geographical location, it is very hard for him to know what is going on outside of China. I told him about Dafa, about the CCP's forced organ harvesting of imprisoned practitioners and the evil nature of the CCP. I also told him about the benefits that I have enjoyed from practicing Dafa. He agreed with what I had said and repeatedly asked me to send him a copy of Zhuan Falun. He also gave me his address and his real name.

Master told us,

“Maintaining Dafa's tradition, upholding Dafa's cultivation principles, and persevering in true cultivation are long-term tests for every Dafa disciple.” (“Abandon Human Attachments and Continue True Cultivation” in Essentials for Further Advancement)

I have come to the understanding that as Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period, especially those living overseas, one must let go of the attachment to comfort and do well in everything a practitioner is supposed to do. Practitioners must let go of self and always regard oneself as true cultivator and gradually assimilate to the Fa. Only then can we do things well.

Master is extremely compassionate towards every Dafa disciple and has given us plenty of time. However, whether we can be strict with ourselves or not is up to us.

Master told us,

“Clarifying the facts and saving sentient beings are what you need to accomplish. There is nothing else for you to accomplish. There is nothing else in this world that you need to accomplish.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2015 New York Fa Conference”

I realize that if everyone of us can truly cherish all that Master has given us and study the Fa diligently, send righteous thoughts and tell people about Dafa, we will do well on our cultivation path and help Master rectify the Fa.
