Steadfast Cultivation and Saving Sentient Beings in a Down-to-earth Manner

(Minghui.org) Saving sentient beings is becoming increasingly urgent as Master’s Fa-rectification progresses. Saving sentient beings is the mission and responsibility of Dafa practitioners. We must strive to save more sentient beings during the time that Master has prolonged for us!

Using All Types of Methods To Save Sentient Beings

Master said,

“If you don't take action to save sentient beings, you will not have fulfilled your responsibility as a Dafa disciple and your cultivation will amount to nothing, for your becoming a Dafa disciple was not for the sake of your own Consummation. This means that you shoulder a monumental mission.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. IX)

“All sentient beings are waiting to be saved, and I can tell you something certain. If Dafa disciples don’t act to save them, those people, no matter in what corner of the world they may be, will have no hope unless you go to save them.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the NTDTV Meeting,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. IX)

Master is rectifying the Fa, and Dafa practitioners are assisting Master. Saving sentient beings is the duty and responsibility of cultivators. We must therefore do even better by using a down-to-earth manner – do it faster, and do more.

Many methods were used in previous years to awaken the conscience of people, including distributing truth-clarifying materials and calendars, making truth-clarifying recordings and direct phone calls, emailing truth-clarifying materials, and talking to people face-to-face. In the market, be it the buyers or sellers, the people are close to each other, moving through the crowd. In this place, everyone can be approached for truth-clarification. As the stalls are generally stationary, most of the stall owners already understand the truth, given Dafa practitioners’ efforts over the past years. We now focus on clarifying the truth to the buyers. This is quite a large group of people.

When distributing A3-size single sheet calendars, another practitioner thought of a method, which was putting each calendar in a bag, so that when the person agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations after understanding the truth, the calendar could be easily handed to that person. The results of using this method were very good. Later, after the distribution of calendars was finished, we put the truth-clarifying weekly publication Heavens Bestow Bliss in small bags to distribute at the morning market.

Initially, only a few practitioners from our small Fa study group participated in this project. But now, more than ten practitioners are taking part in this project. We go to the various morning markets to talk to people, rain or shine, as long as it is not heavy rain, and the market is open.

When talking to people, we first talk about the importance of the truth-clarifying weekly publication. We advise that this publication publishes things that they may not have heard about, or do not understand, but whoever reads it will benefit from it.

We then talk about quitting the CCP organizations and reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to achieve safety and peace. Most people can accept that. Of course, there are individuals who do not want the materials, nor listen to the truth, and even want to report us. But nothing can cause our wish to save sentient beings to waiver. This is also the chance to let sentient beings make their own choice, and decide their positions in the future. We just try to save as many people as possible.

Sentient Beings are Eager To Learn the Truth

I clarified the truth to a person one day, who had just retired from the government. I told him that the truth-clarifying weekly publication was very good. It is rich in content, and contains facts that may never be seen from any other source. He accepted the publication and held it in his hand. I wondered if he wanted the material or not so I asked him about it. He explained that he wanted to put the vegetables in the bag before placing the publication on top, to prevent it from getting dirty. This demonstrates how much sentient beings cherish the truth-clarifying weekly publication.

I asked him if he had heard about quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations to obtain safety and peace. He said that he had not heard about it as the Party seals off such information very tightly. I therefore told him the purpose of quitting the CCP, and he immediately agreed to it.

I then advised him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” as this is the highest level of Buddha Fa, and can prevent him from catching the virus and bring safety when facing danger. I could tell that he was happy. As he left, he said to me, “Thank you!”

Only Falun Dafa Practitioners Care About Civilians

I once met a gentleman in his 60s, and gave him the weekly publication. He asked me what I was teaching. I told him that it was Falun Dafa. He said, “I only recognize Falun Dafa. Nowadays who in society cares about civilians? Only Falun Dafa practitioners are the best. You tell civilians how to protect their lives. However, the CCP does not let you save civilians, and even arrests and detains you. My neighbor has already been imprisoned for a few years!”

The gentleman continued, “I also want to learn Falun Dafa, but I am scared, and did not dare to learn it. I have read all the fliers and booklets that you distributed to the households. I recite “Falun Dafa is good” every day and my body is in a very good shape. I just did not know where to quit the CCP. Luckily I met you today. Please help me quit the CCP and its youth organizations, the Chinese Youth League and the Chinese Young Pioneers! I do not want to be controlled by any of the CCP organizations – I am free!”

Master said,

“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 have not reached Master’s requirements. This distance between myself and other practitioners is also quite far. From now on, I will be steadfast on my cultivation path and assist Master in rectifying the Fa. I will also be steadfast in saving sentient beings in a down-to-earth manner. I must achieve my historic mission.
