Malaysia Fahui | Raising Awareness During the Pandemic

(Minghui.org) Greetings, revered Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners! 

I am a Dafa practitioner from Klang. In 2020, all tourist sites were closed due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, so my fellow practitioners and I never went to the attractions again to clarify the truth. Since I didn’t have internet access or a computer, I had to rely on my cellphone to access the platform to listen to fellow practitioners clarify the truth during that time. 

Virus infections were so serious that human lives were under great threat and considering that there were still so many sentient beings waiting to be saved, I was very worried and did not know how to save them. As soon as this thought emerged in my mind, a fellow practitioner approached me and asked me to participate in a project where they send text messages to clarify the truth. I was so happy that I decided to participate and work with fellow practitioners to save sentient beings.

After that, I was approached by another practitioner who asked me to participate in door-to-door distribution of Dafa flyers. At that time, limits were in place on the number of people allowed to travel in the same car due to the pandemic MCO (moving control order). The practitioner who was driving people for flyer distribution had a car full of fellow practitioners. I thought, I just won’t go. The practitioner shared his thoughts with me, and said Dafa disciples need to set the right starting point for saving sentient beings, there are people of yours waiting for you to save them. I realized that I have my own mission to accomplish, and I decided to distribute flyers. A practitioner helped arrange another car for me. The day that I was going to distribute flyers, I was changed back to the previous car because a practitioner had an issue to deal with. 

Personally, I think that no matter what the circumstances, we must set the correct starting point for ourselves when helping Master with Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. The heart to save people has to be put in the first place. This is what we must do.

Master taught us: 

“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,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XIII)

We were going to distribute flyers outside our hometown, so we needed to prepare a large number of flyers, and fellow practitioners asked us to fold the flyers together. While folding the truth-clarification flyers, I had some conflicts with fellow practitioners, each of us holding onto our own opinion, and at once my demon nature was exposed. I felt very troubled and reluctant to do the folding and even wanted to give up. I suddenly recalled what Master taught us: 

“Do you realize that as long as you’re a cultivator, in any environment or under any circumstances, I will use any troubles or unpleasant things you come across—even if they involve work for Dafa, or no matter how good or sacred you think they are—to eliminate your attachments and expose your demon-nature so that it can be eliminated, for your improvement is what’s most important.” (“Further Understanding,” Essentials for Further Advancement)

It turned out that Master wants us to improve our xinxing. If we put attachments down, everything will go smoothly.

Let All Races Distinguish the Communist Party

I met local Malays, Chinese, and Indians when distributing Dafa flyers. During the pandemic lockdown period, what I had heard from fellow practitioners who clarify the truth on the RTC EasyTalk platform came in handy, and it was much more natural to tell the truth to the sentient beings. Never-ending study also paves the way for the salvation of sentient beings. It made me more capable of introducing the beauty of Dafa to the people during this period. 

I told people that the Dafa practitioners in China are persecuted due to their belief and even had their organs harvested while they were still alive, but they still risk their lives to tell the people the truth about Falun Dafa. I also taught people to sincerely recite the two phrases: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I told them about the amazing recovery of a patient with COVID-19 who recited the two phrases, and about cases of people having good luck in dire situations through reciting the phrases. Some people even asked for more flyers from me to share with their friends and relatives.

Some Malay compatriots tended to think China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were one entity. When clarifying the truth, we need to help them distinguish that China is China, and the CCP is the Communist Party. While China has believed in divine beings since ancient times, the CCP is atheistic, which is why it does such evil things: live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, without anesthesia. Usually organs are donated after death with the person’s consent, not by force, but the CCP forcibly removes organs from Falun Gong practitioners, which is murder. 

Master taught us, 

“But a pandemic like the current Chinese Communist Virus (or “Wuhan Virus”) comes with a purpose behind it, and it has targets. It is here to weed out members of the Party and those who have sided with it. If anyone is in doubt about this, just take a look at which countries or people have been hit hardest by the virus: it is those who have become close with the CCP. Then what should people do? People should distance themselves from the CCP and stop siding with the Party. Behind it is the red Devil, while outwardly it looks and acts like a thug who stops at no evil. So now that the divine is starting to eradicate it, all who still stand by it shall perish.” (“Stay Rational”)

I learned that if we don’t tell the people the truth, people who are lost among human beings will be eliminated if they stand on the wrong side. So no matter what race people are, we have to help them recognize the evil of the CCP.

Cultivating My Heart While Distributing Flyers

During one holiday I was put in charge of distributing Dafa truth flyers outside my hometown, and we were responsible for distributing within a relatively large area. Due to unfamiliarity with the route, practitioners were unable to follow the route I had arranged to distribute the flyers, resulting in overlapping distribution. I felt it was a waste of resources and time. I also felt that I and another fellow practitioner had distributed more, and other practitioners distributed less. My heart was very unhappy, and complaints and attachment began to arise. I called a fellow practitioner in the other car and asked them to change to another place, complaining that the houses we were assigned to distribute to were not centralized enough. The fellow practitioner then suggested that we swap routes, but only after they had finished distributing to their current place.

At that time, I thought that maybe the sentient beings here are the ones I should save, and so I should not do that. I later corrected my thoughts and didn’t swap routes. But while distributing my heart felt suffocated. I didn't maintain my character (xinxing), and I sobbed. Suddenly the sky was drizzling. I thought compassionate Master is saving all sentient beings in the whole universe and bearing everything, and I only save sentient beings in such a small area. I am not even willing to save these sentient beings with a pure heart. I’m not willing to contribute, not willing to bear hardship – what a selfish heart it is. I stopped crying immediately, at which point the rain stopped along with it. So we continued to distribute flyers. I removed the bad thoughts and distributed the remaining flyers with a heart to save people. 

After distribution, we all had dinner together and then had to rush back to study the Fa, fold the flyers, and prepare for the next place we were going to the next day. We worked together as a whole to eliminate gaps. 

Distribution of flyers had been coordinated by another practitioner before, but suddenly I was put in charge of going outside of our hometown to distribute flyers. I was unable to read the navigation, and felt very unfamiliar, very tired and not able to do a good job. I had complaining thoughts, fear of bearing hardship and fear of tiredness, and these were all exposed. 

It is true that sometimes I am too busy with my work, family, Fa study, practice, sending righteous thoughts, and folding flyers. And sometimes I can hardly manage all of these, even getting sleepy while studying the Fa I thought back to the previous distribution of flyers, when everything was arranged by another practitioner. Looking at the silent efforts of that practitioner, who sometimes didn’t go home until late at night, I then looked at my own selfishness, even complaining about folding the flyers, and how I was very chagrined. A practitioner also communicated with us that Dafa truth flyers are alive and shining, and if a bad thought is emitted, the effect for saving people will not be good. So if you want to do it, you can’t have any impure thoughts. 

I slowly adjusted and corrected myself during the process of distributing flyers, and I made a great breakthrough in my cultivation state. From this, I understood that no matter what results come from the flyer distribution, the most important thing is to improve in cultivation.

A Change in People’s Hearts Will Turn Things in a Positive Direction

We once arrived at an area with security guards. The guards guided us to meet with the manager of the compound, and I told him how to escape disaster during the epidemic, how to protect oneself, and our purpose for distributing flyers. The manager allowed us to go in and distribute flyers, but asked us to try to finish distributing to the 400 to 500 houses as fast as possible. 

In the process of distributing, I became excitable and self-validating, because normally you couldn’t enter this kind of neighborhood to distribute flyers. At that moment, I realized this bad attachment and removed it. But I still had a fearful heart that wasn’t removed because the manager had said to finish distributing as fast as possible. My heart was driven. When we reached the second or third row of houses, the management received a phone call to stop us from distributing flyers, saying that they had received reports from residents that we were anti-China, and that there was no way we could continue to distribute the flyers. After further explanation, the manager understood, but he said there was no way we could continue to distribute. 

This un-removed fearfulness allowed the evil to take advantage. This incident made me understand that I really need to cultivate myself well in order to save all sentient beings. Any human attachments can prevent sentient beings from being saved, and cultivation is very serious.

There was another time we went to a residential area that had a very aggressive security guard. After explaining that we were there for everyone’s safety and to tell people how to escape the epidemic, he said that even doctors can’t save people, so how could these flyers save people? He also added that this place is not easily accessible to strangers. At that time, my heart was calm and I told him the truth and said we would not disturb the residents. He then just let us in to distribute the flyers. 

Therefore, if you set your heart right and hold a pure heart to save people, you can turn things in a good direction, depending on how your thoughts shift.

Sometimes I met older Chinese who would say we were American spies. I would not be able to uphold my character (xinxing) and would argue with them. They would stop listening to me. After talking with fellow practitioners, they suggested that I can ask them if they believe in God and then tell them the CCP is atheist, and that this was just a wish for them to stay safe. Later I tried this, and they were more receptive to the flyers we gave them. 

Another time, I went to a resident’s house, entering the gate to tell him the truth, and my competitive heart came up again. My heart began to calm down when I recalled what Master taught us, 

“While working, your tone of voice, your kindheartedness, and your reasoning can change a person’s heart.” (“Clearheadedness,” Essentials For Further Advancement). 

That resident later accepted a flyer. 

When I left his place, four to five dogs blocked my way and barked at me. I thought, “I am a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period, and you are also a part of the universe. You are not allowed to interfere with my efforts to save sentient beings, whoever interferes is guilty.” The dogs stopped barking, and when I went further, they left.

I joined the RTC EasyTalk platform in December 2020 to tell Chinese people the truth by making internet phone calls. When I encountered those who cursed and didn’t listen, I kept one thought, my mind was not moved, and then I played the truth to them, always sending righteous thoughts toward them. There were also some people who did not make a sound, so I tried to broadcast the truth to them as much as possible, hoping that the next practitioner who called them could persuade them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

I was happy when a person instantly agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations without listening for long, but then the person hung up the phone before finishing hearing the truth. I realized that my heart was not right, so I asked Honorable Master to help me remove the attachment of self-validation and being excitable. After that, I asked a fellow practitioner who sent text messages to send another text message to that person to let him know more of the truth. 

In the process of making internet phone calls, we are given a process of cultivation, and all the bad attachments that appear have to be eliminated one by one. 

Through participating in the RTC EasyTalk project, I learned a lot of ways to clarify the truth, which helped me a lot when I clarified the truth face-to-face. I appreciate Master for his salvation and merciful protection. The only way for me to repay Master’s kindness is to study the Fa more, study the Fa well, look inward, cultivate inward, do the three things well, and save more people.

These are a few of my experiences. If there’s anything I shared that’s not in accordance with the Fa, please correct me with kindness. Thank you, Honorable Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners.
