(Minghui.org) I am quite introverted and reserved. Thus, when it came to clarifying the truth to people, I didn’t know how to deal with those that did not believe what I said.
Several years ago, my son and I were chatting about some things that cannot be explained by science. He is not a Dafa practitioner, but he respects Master and has experienced Dafa’s preciousness. He knows that the moral degeneration of the world has gotten to this point, and it is declining day by day.
My husband listened to our conversation and commented, “I don’t believe what you said.”
I didn’t know how to respond. My son turned to my husband, smiled, and said, “If you don’t believe it, then just treat it as story.” My husband didn't say another word but listened.
This gave me an idea on how to respond to others when talking about Dafa. I know I hadn’t studied the Fa well and had many concerns. Actually, it was like Master said,
“This is an assistants’ meeting here today, so if you’re someone who hasn’t attended the seminars before and don’t believe what you’re hearing, just listen to these things as if they’re stories.” (“Suggestions Given at the Beijing Falun Dafa Assistants Meeting,” Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa)
I took a carpool taxi back to my mother’s home this July. There were two more passengers in the car. I sat in the front and started to clarify the truth to the driver and spoke from the angle of Covid-19. I gave him several examples of people who had contracted the virus, but recovered by sincerely reciting the auspicious phrase “Falun Dafa is Good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good!” The other passengers listened attentively.
I continued to talk about the Self-Immolation Incident on Tiananmen Square, saying that it was staged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I further explained that Falun Dafa is a cultivation practice that teaches its practitioners about the consequences of killing lives.
All of sudden, the lady who sat behind me interrupted, and said: “Don’t talk about this now. If you like, you can talk about this when you get home!”
It went quiet for a while. I remained calm and told myself that nobody can negatively impact the Fa. I responded in a very peaceful and clear tone, “We are currently experiencing a pandemic. We hope all can be safe. If you believe me, please remember what I said. If you don’t, just treat what I said as stories!” She didn’t argue.
The driver asked me, “How long have you practiced Falun Gong?”
I told him 20 years. I guess I did the right thing in telling him that. I clarified the truth as the passengers listened. The taxi driver even quit the CCP and its youth organizations. He was blessed for that, because once we arrived at our destination, four people hired his taxi.
From the above experience, I understand that I need to know how to clarify the truth in the proper way. When someone does not believe in the divine, I should not act aggressively toward them and should find a peaceful way to avoid an argument. That can offer people another chance to be saved.
Thank you, Master!
The above is my personal understanding. If there is any improper, please kindly point it out.
