(Minghui.org) I work as a nurse at a busy clinic. I used to be jealous of other practitioners who were able to help with Dafa projects and clarify the truth to people face-to-face.
That all changed after I remembered that Master (Li Hongzhi) said,
“The paths of cultivation are variedBut none is outside the Great LawWhen one is attached to nothingThe path underfoot is naturally smooth” (“Unimpeded” from Hong Yin Volume II)
Master has arranged for everyone to enlighten to the Fa themselves, so I should walk my own path.
Teaching Like a Parent
Besides working with patients, I also supervise students. The first student I had was smart, but unruly. How could I teach him? Master asks us to be selfless.
I decided to start by teaching him the workflow of the clinic until he became familiar with everything. Then, I wanted him to understand how Falun Dafa has been slandered and persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I told him that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation hoax was staged by the Chinese Communist Party to deceive the world.
“According to what we have learned, people cannot talk soon after a tracheotomy. The little girl in the self-immolation incident supposedly had a tracheotomy. How was she able to talk and sing in an interview [only four days later]?”
I continued, “The people involved in producing this defamatory propaganda have all met with retribution. Luo Jing, who broadcast the false news, has died of cancer. Producer Chen Hong also died of stomach cancer. Li Dongsheng, the chief director, was sentenced to prison for violating the law. The whole world knows that Falun Dafa is good.”
I also told him about the Chinese Character Stone discovered in Guizhou Province. It was 270 million years old and had the characters “The Communist Party of China [will] perish” inscribed on it.
“If you sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you will be blessed. You must also withdraw from the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers and keep yourself safe!” He agreed to do so.
After he understood the facts about Dafa and quit the CCP, he was no longer unruly and could learn things fast. We then hired him to join our staff.
He did well in regular operations and later gained a promotion. He was recognized for helping an instructor save a patient in critical condition by applying the knowledge learned in our department.
One day, he visited me and said, “Teacher, it would be wonderful if you were my mother. Then I would do much better.”
Turning Bad Things into Good Things
I was once assigned to teach two new students. At that time, I thought, “I’m already so busy, but I still have to instruct two more students.”
I later thought about it and realized that I was wrong. If the students were assigned to me, they must be predestined to learn the truth.
I then told them about the persecution, and how Dafa is freely practiced in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The students were productive and made rapid progress. We worked as a team, and I encouraged them to be selfless. If I taught something to one of them, that student was responsible for teaching the other.
One day, the supervisor said, “One of our colleague’s students is having problems learning, and you have two students who are doing well. Could you exchange one of your students with her?”
I was speechless and thought: I’ve worked so hard to train my two students and now you want to take one away. How can such a thing happen!
After I got home, I read a practitioner’s experience sharing article online and was deeply inspired. The writer quoted Master Li:
“Whatever you experience during your cultivation—whether good or bad—is good, for it comes about only because you are cultivating.”(“To the Chicago Fa Conference,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress Vol. III)
I then realized that Master was asking me to save the students. If I didn’t make an effort, how could I save them?
The following day, I was happy to exchange students and let them pick whoever they wanted.
I first told the new student about Dafa and persuaded her to quit the CCP. I then learned that she was a kind person although she didn’t like to talk. She would apply herself to the tasks I assigned, and helped me complete a lot of work.
The principles of Dafa guided me; I had no resentment and turned what I thought was a bad thing into a good thing.
Student Changes After Learning the Truth
On the eve of writing this article, my supervisor suddenly told me to be in charge of an inept student who was looked down by everyone. I remained calm, looked inward, and rejected any thoughts of self-interest, resentment, and fear of hardship because these were not my true self. What people said about him didn’t matter, as Master's arrangement must be the best.
At the beginning, the new student wouldn’t respond to me even if I repeatedly called his name. Everyone would laugh at him and chide, “Your teacher is calling you!”
I later noticed that he wore a necklace, so I asked him about it. He said, “My mom believes in Buddha and gave it to me to avoid danger.” I knew that he could avoid danger only by learning the facts about Dafa.
“The Buddha school cultivates kindness, the Taoist school cultivates truthfulness, and both are good. Cultivating Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is the complete Dharma,” I explained. “Buddhism mentions that killing is the most severe crime. The CCP is atheistic and has killed many innocent people. Can God spare it? Did you join the Youth League or the Young Pioneers?”
When he told me he did, I advised, “Quit and you will have peace.” He agreed.
Afterwards, he became a different person. The staff praised him for being a good worker, and his classmates liked to ask him questions. In less than a week, he became the bone expert of the team. His classmates’ attitude turned from contempt to admiration!
Thank you Master for your compassion! May all sentient beings come to understand the truth and have a bright future.
