[Singapore Fa Conference] Never-ending Journey of Clarifying the Truth

(Minghui.org)

Greetings, Master!Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I have practiced cultivation in Dafa for more than 21 years. Over the years, I’ve persisted in clarifying the truth about Dafa and the persecution of countless Chinese people. I have helped many people understand the truth and encouraged many people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.

Clarifying the Truth and Encouraging People to Quit the CCP

After the outbreak of the CCP virus (COVID pandemic), there were few people on the streets. Face-to-face truth clarification became harder because people were unwilling to speak to me. For a period of time, I was lost for words. The location that I often went to used to have a lot of Chinese people, but the numbers dwindled during the pandemic, and I could merely convince one or two people to do the three withdrawals, and most of the time, I had no success. Even so, I still persisted in going there for more than two years.

Starting this year, after restrictions were relaxed people came back. I was very relieved. Six months ago, I went to another location that has many Chinese people. I asked a man: “Are you Chinese?” He replied, “Yes.” “How long have you been here?” I asked. “Quite a few years” he replied. “Then you must have done your three withdrawals,” I asked. He did not understand what I was talking about, so I clarified the truth to him. He ended up withdrawing from the Youth League and the Young Pioneers. I was curious about why he was just hearing about all this, so I asked him, “You’ve been here for so many years, yet no one told you the truth. How is that possible?” He said it was probably because his face was covered with red patches, and it made it hard for people to realize he was Chinese.

I never gave up on any potential listeners. I saw a person playing with his phone in a corner, something typical of many Chinese people. But from his physical appearance alone, he looked local. I asked him curiously: “Are you from China?” “Yes,” he replied. I didn’t know if he was joking, because his attire, hairstyle, and accent, all looked and sounded local. “How long have you been here?” I asked. “For 20 years,” he replied. So I clarified the truth, showed him pictures, and told him about the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 4, 1989. He listened intently and said that his cousin was a first-hand witness of the massacre and had been fortunate to escape overseas with an expired plane ticket. I said that it was probably because his family was kind, and his cousin believed in deities, and the deities in turn protected him and blessed him with a safe departure. I helped the man withdraw from the Youth League and the Young Pioneers.

I also encountered someone who had been living in Singapore for 16 years but never quit the CCP organizations. I asked him why, and he replied, “I don’t want to listen.” “You must be a CCP Party member,” I guessed. He nodded his head. So I told him the truth. In the end, he withdrew from the CCP, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. He told me, “I never wanted to listen to other people, but today I am just willing to listen to you speak.” I replied, “This must be a predestined relationship, especially in times when self-preservation is important.” He thanked me profusely.

I also encountered a Chinese person who told me that he had been experiencing bad luck in everything he did lately. He said that he knows Dafa is good, because his family members used to practice, but they stopped after the persecution started. He was very young then and became shrouded in fear. In the end, he agreed to withdraw from the Young Pioneers. He thanked me repeatedly. “You should thank Dafa and Master Li (Dafa’s founder),” I said. He pressed his palms together and said, “I know, but if it was not for you telling me the truth, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to thank Master. I still want to thank you.” He also told me that he would be going back to China in two weeks’ time. I told him the nine auspicious words of “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” and told him to remember them. He asked me for the card with those words on it for safekeeping. “Aren’t you going back?” I asked. “Yes, but you are giving me something so precious. How could I not hold on to it?”

I also clarified the truth to a CCP member, and he listened to what I said. Another practitioner walked by with a few origami lotus flowers. The man became curious about them, so I called the practitioner over, and the practitioner also clarified the truth to him. He listened intently, but when we asked him to withdraw from CCP, he refused and walked away. I thought it was such a pity, and asked Master for help. I chased after the man and said, “You’ve already listened and understood everything, yet you still don’t want to quit. If justice cannot be served by mankind, it will be served by heaven. If you don’t withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, you will be a part of them. Do not be an unwilling scapegoat of such evil atrocities! I’m only asking you to detach from it mentally, but you can still keep the title in name, as long as you do not commit its evil acts.” He finally agreed.

Master’s Hint: To Look Inward

In 2020, I wasn’t able to go to the exercise site due to the lockdowns, so I could only practice at home in an empty room. I would study the Fa, practice the exercises, and adjust my movements in front of a mirror every day. I would also read experience-sharing articles on minghui.org. I slowed my pace to make sure I was studying everything with my heart.

After cultivation, I had grown quite fond of the color purple. I would buy purple things so much that my daughter would give me purple gifts. One night, before I dozed off, a huge gradient of purple color appeared before my eyes. It was so beautiful. Next to the color, I saw a switch. I realized that Master was reminding me to detach from my attachments. Thank you, Master!

Another night, when I was sending forth righteous thoughts, I saw a huge heart. Within it was many smaller hearts, each with the character “look.” I realized that Master was reminding me to look inwards to find my attachments. I started reflecting on my past, what I’d dreamt, seen, heard, and encountered. I realized I hadn’t been cultivating my heart enough.

In March 2022, both my son and husband had symptoms of the CCP virus. Usually, I would recite the nine words after sending forth righteous thoughts at night. When my son first caught the virus, I sent forth righteous thoughts and felt a strong boost of energy from my body. When my husband got the virus, I was also protected with strong energy. I recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” As I recited, all nine words would appear before my eyes. This had never happened before. In Master’s recent article “Stay Rational” he said:

“Genuine Dafa disciples all carry energy and are themselves beings who eliminate karma and eradicate germs.” (“Stay Rational,” Team Blue Translation)

Master’s Fa teachings strengthened my righteous thoughts and stabilized my heart, which had become unsettled after two of my family members caught the virus.

Since I was young, I have disliked dirty, bad smells and diseases. I realized that these are all attachments that I need to get rid of so that I can better assimilate to the characteristics of the universe, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and also better put others before myself. My husband fell ill again two days later and had to undergo surgery before being hospitalized for seven or eight days. I visited him twice a day. Hospitals are so crowded, so dirty and smelly, yet I did not notice any of that. My attachments from my childhood were gone.

One of the after-effects of getting the CCP virus was that my husband found it hard to fall asleep. During his hospitalization, he lost 7 kilograms due to lack of sleep and solid food. Though he was a staunch atheist, after a few weeks of sleep deprivation, headaches, and lethargy, he felt immense fear and asked me what he should do. I told him that since he couldn’t be cured by the doctors, he should give Zhuan Falun a try and ask Master to help him, and also recite the Nine Words. He could fall asleep a bit after reading Zhuan Falun for the first time, and his condition improved more after his second time. My husband enjoys drinking and has many drinking buddies, so he wasn’t able to finish his third read of Zhuan Falun. I felt that it really is hard for Master to save people, and I hoped that my husband would continue reading Zhuan Falun. After my husband came home, I took great care of him for two more months.

During the pandemic, I stayed home to study the Fa, practice the exercises, and read minghui.org. I re-read Master’s articles and looked inward. When Hong Yin VI was published, I and my Fa study group read it twice, and each time reading it, I gained a deeper understanding of the teachings. Whenever I faced some xinxing issues, Master’s teachings would resurface.

Once, the charger for my music player for the exercises broke. I thought it was the batteries, so I asked a fellow practitioner for a new one. I started charging it when I got home. The battery light was green. I continued charging, and the battery swelled. I wondered if the practitioner had given me the wrong one. Then I understood that I needed to let go of the attachment to self-interest. That practitioner helped me with many things, and I needed to be grateful!

It’s nearing the end of Fa-rectification. I need to treasure this opportunity to cultivate and practice more diligently. Thank you Master for your protection and enlightenment. I am very grateful to you!

The experiences shared above are based on my current realm. Please kindly point out any inappropriate parts.

Thank you, Master!Thank you, fellow practitioners!
