(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. For more than ten years I spent 3 or 4 hours each day talking to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
As the coronavirus turned into an epidemic some practitioners were afraid of being infected and no longer went out. They even stopped going to group Fa study. Some elderly practitioners who usually went out every day to clarify the truth stayed home.
Since I continued going out and talking to people, the other practitioners suggested I share my experiences to encourage more practitioners to go out and save people.
A fruit vendor recently opened business in my neighborhood. I immediately thought I should shop there and clarify the truth. The owner was happy that I didn't argue over the price and tried to give me a small box of fruit as a gift. I thanked her but did not take it. Instead I pointed out that as the coronavirus continued spreading, many people were withdrawing from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). At first, the owner and her employee seemed doubtful. They repeated what the CCP said about the coronavirus coming from eating certain wild animals. But after seeing I was kind and sincere, they agreed to withdraw from the CCP.
Within days, the virus turned into an epidemic. When I visited the fruit vendor again, the owner immediately said, “Auntie, what you told us was so correct! Now the virus is everywhere!”
I told them they were safe since they already withdrew from the CCP. I suggested that they tell their relatives and friends to withdraw from the Party, so that they would be protected.
Three days later the owner gave me a piece of paper with six names on it. They all wanted to quit the CCP.
I was encouraged by this episode, so I looked for people who I helped quit the CCP. I talked to them about the epidemic and asked them to tell their relatives and friends about withdrawing from the CCP. I asked them to give me the names of those who wanted to quit the CCP.
Several days later I collected the names. One list contained 16 people! Through the rapid spread of the coronavirus many people can see how the CCP has been lying to them. They now understand that Falun Dafa practitioners are telling them the truth.
I went out the day before Chinese New Year, but I barely met any people on the street. The few people who were out did not want to stop and chat. Everyone walked quickly. After three hours I only managed to help one person quit the CCP. I was a bit disappointed and thought that I would just stay home the next day.
The next day I remembered Master's words,
“Dafa disciples are humankind's only hope for salvation. ” (“To the Fa Conference of Europe”)
I needed to go out and save people! When I put on my coat, my husband said, “Are you still going out? Even if you don't care about your own safety, you should consider your family!” My children also said that I should put safety first.
I smiled and told them not to worry. Practitioners are protected by Master. I told them that I would be back in three hours.
When I returned home three hours later, my heart was filled with joy! I had helped more than 10 people withdraw from the CCP!
I prepared several dishes and placed them on the table. My husband stopped complaining about my going out.
As long as we put Dafa first, Master will help us to overcome any difficulty.
I would like to tell fellow practitioners: We are Dafa practitioners. We have important missions during this Fa Rectification period. Master is with us and we have strong energy as well. There is nothing to fear. We need to continue group Fa study since it is what Master told us to do. We should get rid of our human attachments and go out to save people! We should walk every step on the path that Master has arranged for us. Doing the three things well is the best way to repay Master for saving us!
The above is my personal understanding. Please point it out if anything is improper.
