Cherishing the Opportunity to Tell People About the Persecution

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners’ experience sharing articles on the Minghui website inspired me to cultivate diligently. I overcame the problem of being sleepy during Fa-study, and my palm no longer slanted when I sent righteous thoughts; an issue that troubled me for many years. I also broke through fear and resistance and I now go out to clarify the truth face-to-face. I do it almost every day, for about two hours each day. I may not have done as much as other practitioners, but I often feel Master’s compassion. I can identify my attachments and get rid of them, and I feel joyful when people understand the truth about Dafa.

Clarifying the Truth to People I Meet

It has been more than 20 years since I quit my job, and most of my former coworkers retired. When I go out to clarify the truth, I often meet them. They all know I was persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa and sympathized with me, so it was easy to talk to them about Falun Dafa and help them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.

I spoke to a lady in my community, and she expressed her sympathy. She was unhappy about the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners, but when I asked her to quit the Party, she thought that because she joined the Young Pioneers as a child there was no need to quit. Her response bothered me for some time.

I happened to see her waiting at the bus station alone one day and used the opportunity to explain the significance of quitting the Party and its youth organizations. This time she understood, and agreed to quit.

I once talked to a woman about the pandemic. She cursed and said that the virus was spread by the U.S. I realized that she was deeply poisoned by the state-run media’s lies, so I did not refute it directly, but said, “Every country has good and bad people. The media serves the political regime. Just listen and understand by considering all the viewpoints.” She agreed. When I was about to talk about Falun Dafa, she said she had something to do and left. I felt it wasted my time talking to her, but in the end the number of people I clarified the truth to that day was no less than usual.

The next day, I met her again. She greeted me warmly. This time she got the chance to listen to the truth about Dafa. She said I was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She also quit the CCP’s youth organizations.

These encounters seemed to happen by chance, but I knew they were all Master’s arrangements.

Another time, I saw a sanitation worker cleaning up the Ghost Festival. I said, “After so many years of atheistic education, some people still believe in an afterlife and gods. Many people believe in Falun Dafa.”

He told me, “Falun Dafa has been banned for so many years. An old lady told me about Falun Dafa the other day. I did not listen and walked away.”

I responded, “Falun Dafa is good, that’s why people still practice it despite the persecution. The CCP persecutes good people and prevents them from believing in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The CCP is so bad that Heaven will punish it. Only those who quit the CCP can avoid being its scapegoats, and be saved when disasters strike.” He agreed to quit the Young Pioneers.

I thought this was really a predestined person. If it wasn’t for the elderly practitioner’s previous efforts to tell him the truth, my talking to him would not have gone so smoothly.

Cultivating Myself

I was able to help about six people quit the CCP every day, and sometimes more than 12. It was said that 200,000 practitioners participated in filing complaints against Jiang Zemin for persecuting Falun Dafa. If all of them clarified the truth in person, and each helped one person a day quit the Party, 200,000 people would quit the Party every day.

When I saw that some practitioners only clarified the truth using paper bills with messages about Falun Dafa on them, I looked down on them. Later after I clarified the truth to a lady and helped her quit the CCP, I gave her a Dafa amulet. She said she did not need it as she still kept the paper bills with Dafa messages on them. I realized that the practitioners who used these paper bills were saving people.

Sometimes, it was easy to persuade people to quit the CCP, as they had already read the truth-clarification materials. Some even told me, “I don’t want the truth-clarification booklet, please give me a Dafa book to read!” If the person lived in a dormitory and it was not convenient to read the book, I gave that person a media player with recordings of Master’s Fa lectures. For those who had their own place, I gave them Dafa books and emphasized that they needed to return the books if they didn’t read them.

These experiences allowed me to understand that practitioners are one body and using paper bills with Dafa messages, distributing truth materials, and working in the media are all ways to save people. When I go out every day, it is Master who brings predestined people to me, some of whom very easily accept the truth.

I don’t know how many practitioners laid the groundwork by distributing materials and clarifying the truth before I talk to people. It is like the wheat in the fields, which is grown and ripe. I just harvest them. How can I take all the credit or compare myself to them? This is also an attachment of jealousy. In addition, without the Master’s protection and all the practitioners sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil, could I still walk smoothly on this path every day?

After I encountered lustful men who said offensive things I even had the thought of not clarifying the truth to men. However, I realized later it might be because I didn’t get rid of my own lustful thoughts, so I attracted these troubles. I felt so happy when people complimented me for looking young, and I often wanted to dye my hair whenever I saw some white hair.

I was anxious when I saw practitioners’ articles on Minghui where they could help 20 to 30 people quit the Party every day. I started asking people to quit the CCP without even finishing clarifying the truth to them, which resulted in pushing them away. Sometimes, people did not want to listen or they hurried away. When I followed them, they said I was crazy.

When I met people who disliked the CCP, it was like finding someone I could relate to. I vented my grievances and completely forgot my responsibilities. Sometimes, I spoke in such a way that I still did not get to the point even when the person was about to leave.

Occasionally, someone wanted to report me to the police. I usually remained calm and told him or her that what I was doing was for their own good and I just hoped they would be safe. Under Master’s protection, I walked away safely. However, sometimes I held resentment in my mind, and I had a competitive mentality. After I realized my attachment, I changed my thinking and thought that all of those people were Master’s relatives and I only wished they still had a chance to be saved.

Experiencing Joy

Some people did not want to listen, but I was happy when people understood the truth. As long as I can help one person quit the CCP every day, then my efforts were not in vain. Some people thanked me, and I told them to thank Dafa’s Master; some praised me for being a good person and asked me to pay attention to my safety; some wanted me to pass on their greetings to Master; some said that the CCP is finished as no one believes in it anymore; and others asked when the CCP would fall.

One young lady thanked Master while holding her palms together in front of her chest. I was very happy and a little surprised. I was glad that I didn’t give up the opportunity to clarify the truth to her, and not judge her for holding a cigarette in her hand.

Every day we have now is the result of Master’s tremendous endurance and sacrifice. If the CCP already collapsed, those who had not quit the Party would have no more chances. I still pay attention to the international and domestic news, instead of focusing on doing the three things Master asks us to do. Looking inward, I still fear being persecuted, and I still have the attachment to selfishness.

Thank you, Master, for your compassion! Thank you, fellow practitioners, who have been with me along the path of cultivation and provided me with much help and encouragement. Practitioners who shared their experiences on the Minghui website also gave me tremendous help. I must cherish this eternal opportunity and walk steadily on the path of Fa-rectification cultivation.
