(Minghui.org) Greetings, Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!
I am a 74-year-old country woman with little education. My husband was diagnosed with a stomach tumor in 1996 but was afraid to have surgery. After he practiced Falun Dafa, the tumor disappeared without treatment. My husband and I have practiced Falun Dafa ever since.
We have a strong belief in Falun Dafa and have devoted our lives to doing the three things and assisting Master in Fa-rectification. We have had the joy of improving our xinxing and experienced the hardship of being persecuted. We have made it to this day under Master’s protection.
The police arrested me in 2008 and sentenced me to eight years in prison. After I returned home, I read the Fa extensively to make up for my lost years and correct myself according to the Fa.
Master said,
“For a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, personal liberation is not the goal of cultivation: when you came, saving sentient beings was your great aspiration, and that is the responsibility and mission history has bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification. Thus great numbers of beings are to be saved by you.” (“Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World’s People,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress III)
“From now on, the Dafa disciples in China as much as anyone, both new students and veterans alike, should let go of their longstanding human attachments and start to seize the day and comprehensively save the world’s people.”(“Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World’s People,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress III)
I understood that the Fa is quickly rectifying the cosmos and it’s urgent to clarify the truth to people and save them. I knew I had a great responsibility and must step forward to save people right away.
I told my husband, “We can’t just stay home and read the Fa without going out to save people. Saving people is one of the three things Master asked us to do.” My husband realized this as well and said, “We live in the country, so it’s not easy to get around. I will buy a tricycle and drive you to the market and we can talk to people.”
From then on, we clarified the truth in markets and fairs, streets and alleys in all the neighboring townships. We traveled up to 10 miles from our home. We arrived at our destination before the traffic police checkpoint opened in the morning, and waited until the police were off duty before we went back. We have never had any trouble over the years because Master has protected us at every turn.
We go out every day, rain or shine, year after year, to save people. It sometimes rains heavily. We don’t stop going out until the 28th day of the twelfth moon (two days before the Chinese New Year), and we resume as soon as the New Year celebrations are over.
Starting from the 20th day of the twelfth moon, people make bean curd, steamed buns, or deep-fried dough to prepare for the New Year celebrations with their families. We do not have to prepare anything because our daughter owns a restaurant and she prepares everything for us every year. We can devote all our time to practicing the exercises, reading the teachings and distributing information about Falun Dafa.
My daughter’s restaurant sometimes gets busy, and she asked me to help. I said, “My time is precious. Please find another way to handle it.” She understood and did not complain.
We have a good family environment, and can focus on saving people. Our life is simple. We just eat whatever fills our stomach and do not waste time on improving our lives in a material sense. We live a happy and fulfilling life because we have the Fa in our hearts and a mission to fulfill.
We have successfully persuaded more than 20,000 people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Communist Youth League, and the Communist Young Pioneers, in the past seven years. Our average success rate was 70-80 people a week, and our record high was over 50 people a day. Most people were willing to accept the truth, and some people agreed to withdraw from the Party after I said a few words.
I always smile when I talk to people. I know what I’m doing is for the good of that person; I have no fear or negative thoughts. I treat everyone equally with a pure mind, regardless of who they are. Because I am doing the most righteous and best thing in the universe, I have Master’s protection.
Many people have gotten to know me well and give me a thumb-up whenever they see me, and say, “You are so kindhearted.” I have also met people who didn’t want to listen or threatened to report me to the police, but I handled the situation with righteous thoughts, and Master defused them all.
Through truth-clarification, I have truly understood the power of compassion and developed a deeper understanding of what Master said,
“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth,ushering in springRighteous thoughts can save the peoplein this world”(“The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos,” Hong Yin II)
I’d like to share a few stories.
In the beginning I wasn’t confident about clarifying the truth to multiple individuals at the same time for fear of being turned in by those who listened to the CCP.
One day, five people were walking in front of me, and I clarified the truth to four of them. I left out an old man. I had just gone a few steps when he beckoned me back with a wave of his hand. He said, “Please give me an amulet.”
I immediately knew I was wrong. I quickly turned around and said to him, “I was wrong, I’m sorry. Let me tell you something good: please often recite ‘Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!’ and you will be safe when disaster strikes.” I clarified the truth to him, and he quit the Young Pioneers using his real name.
I learned from this incident that all of the world’s people look forward to being saved. I must treat everyone equally and leave no one behind.
Many college and high school students attended driving school this summer.
One day, I saw more than a dozen students waiting by the road. I went up to one and said, “Young man, have you noticed that people live in fear nowadays because the weather is unpredictable, natural and man-made disasters strike constantly, and it looks like the COVID epidemic is about to get worse? Have you heard of doing the three withdrawals to be safe?” He replied, “No.”
I said, “The three withdrawals means withdrawing from the CCP, the Youth League, and Young Pioneers. Many people’s lives took a positive turn after they quit the CCP affiliated organizations and sincerely recited the auspicious phrases, ‘Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!’ Don’t you agree that even if people have money, they must be alive to spend it, otherwise everything is in vain?”
He asked, “Will my school allow it?” I said, “Heaven only sees people’s hearts. The school does not need to know. As long as you agree in your heart, I will take care of everything and won’t tell anyone. Heaven knows, I know, and you know.”
He understood and said with a smile, “I agree to quit. I have joined the Youth League. My name is so-and-so.”
Twelve students listened as we talked. They said they understood and they all agreed to withdraw from the organizations using their real names. I couldn’t write some of them, so they wrote them for me. I gave each of them an amulet, and they all thanked me.
There’s been a lot of road construction this year. One day, I saw more than 20 people working by the roadside and one of them seemed to be the foreman. I thought, “If this person does not agree with Dafa, it would be difficult to save his workers because he might become an obstacle.”
I greeted him, “How are you! I’m bringing you good news. Would you like to hear it?” He said, “How can I say no?”
I asked, “Have you heard of doing the three withdrawals to be safe?” I then told him about the “Hidden-character stone” and the story of 25 people in the Central Party School quitting CCP (using aliases) all at once.
He asked, “Why did Falun Dafa practitioners go to Beijing to cause trouble and storm Zhongnanhai?”
I said, “You don’t know the true story. The Tianjin police beat and arrested practitioners. We went to Beijing to report the situation and petition for their release. Premier Zhu Rongji met us that day and promised to release them. Afterwards, all the practitioners left quietly.”
I continued, “We were unarmed and were not aggressive. How was that storming Zhongnanhai? It was a lie fabricated by the former CCP leader and his gang to suppress Falun Dafa and deceive the world.”
He said, “I hadn’t heard this before. All I’ve heard was from TV.”
I told him about the live organ harvesting of practitioners and the truth behind the staged Tiananmen self-immolation. He listened attentively. Finally, I said, “You have been through a lot; please quit the CCP to be safe.”
He readily agreed. He added, “The ancient prophecies have come true one by one. Perhaps it’s about time, the CCP’s hour has come.”
I then talked to other workers, and 25 people in all agreed to quit.
One day, I was handing out truth-clarification desk calendars in a big fair and saw three men in a car. I was holding a calendar and asked the driver if he would like one.
He immediately said in an aggressive tone, “Do you know who I am?”
I said, “No matter who you are, it’s important to save your life. Master said that all the people in the world are his relatives and should be saved.”
He added, “Do you know that I have handcuffs in my car?”
I said, “Handcuffs are for bad people, not for good people, right?” I silently asked Master to strengthen me and not to let these plainclothes police commit crimes against Dafa. I sent forth righteous thoughts at the same time to disintegrate the evil elements behind the man.
His attitude changed instantly and he said, “Yes, I’m here to catch thieves.” He turned the car around and drove away. I was out of danger under Master’s protection.
I was once clarifying the truth to a young man, but he threatened to report me to the 610 Office and began photographing me. I immediately asked Master to strengthen me and I simultaneously sent righteous thoughts: his cell phone cannot take pictures.
I said to the young man, “I’m here to save your life. I’m not asking a penny from you. It’s not good for you to do this. I don’t want you to commit crimes against Dafa.” He checked the phone a few times as if it was out of order. Then he left.
A few years ago, I was arrested because I was worried when I talked to people about Falun Dafa. The police forcibly pushed me into a police vehicle and drove me to the hospital for a medical examination. I shouted “Falun Dafa is good!” along the way while asking Master in my heart to save me.
When they took me to the detention center, I said to Master in my heart, “Master, I want to go home and continue saving people. My mission is not yet fulfilled.” As a result, the detention center said my blood pressure was too high and refused to accept me. The police then drove me home.
The Fa-rectification has come to the end, but not enough people have been saved. I will try harder to save people, fulfill my vow, and follow Master home.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
