“I Was Looking for Falun Dafa”

(Minghui.org) Another practitioner and I rode our bicycles to a remote village to introduce Falun Gong and raise awareness of the persecution. We were not familiar with the village, so we followed the main road and stopped at a busy place near a shop. Several people inside were playing cards while some young women were chatting outside. Onlookers surrounded four older people playing cards across the road. We asked Master Li, Falun Dafa’s founder, to strengthen us to save these predestined people. We split up.

I went over to the card players and said hello. As I started to take out some pamphlets and DVDs, one of them waved his hand at me and barked, “Go away. We don’t want those things. Don’t interrupt us. We will not be deceived by you.” I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions that hindered them from hearing what I had to say. I smiled and said, “Sir, I practice Falun Dafa and I am here to give you something good.”

He interrupted me before I could finish, saying, “What did you say? You practice Falun Dafa?” When I replied that I did, he put down his cards and said, “Please give me as many materials as you can spare. I was looking for Falun Dafa. Finally, I’ve found it today!”

People were surprised. He continued, “I went to Hong Kong several years ago and stayed with my daughter for some time. I saw many Falun Dafa practitioners do the exercises there. People and government officials in Hong Kong were supportive. Falun Dafa is indeed very good. Whatever the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propagates is bad and fake. If the CCP doesn’t allow people to watch or read something, I will definitely watch it or read it.”

He took the materials and DVDs I handed him, and the others then asked for some. I clarified the truth to them as I was handing things out. I also asked them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Another time, a few practitioners and I went to a mountain village far away to distribute truth-clarification materials and talk to people. The households were scattered far apart. After I’d gone to several of them, I saw one house on a hill about 200 meters away. There were clothes on the line outside, which meant someone lived there. I hesitated as to whether I should go because it was already late in the afternoon and I had to get back to cook dinner for my family. I only had two pamphlets left in my bag and could give them out on my way home.

Just then, Master’s Fa flashed through my mind: “... not omitting a single area where there are people.” (“Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World’s People,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress III) Master gave me a hint that I shouldn’t omit any predestined people. There aren’t many practitioners in our area, and it was not easy for us to get to this place. We didn’t know when we would ever return. We all agreed that we shouldn’t miss this opportunity.

We were met by a woman in her 50s who looked at us suspiciously and didn’t say anything or smile after she let us in. She turned her back and was about to go into another room. I realized that she might have misunderstood us. I didn’t move and said with a smile, “We are Falun Gong practitioners and are here to bring you good news.” I handed her a pamphlet.

She interrupted me and looked at me with a big smile. She asked me to repeat what I’d just said. She seemed delighted as she took the pamphlet. She got out some chairs, asked us to sit down, and said, “One day when I was out shopping, I was handed a one-yuan bill that had Falun Dafa information printed on it. When I saw the three characters ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,’ it made me feel so good. I have been looking for Falun Dafa. I thought you guys were swindlers.”

I assured her that she should be cautious because nowadays people no longer abide by traditional values. We clarified the truth to her, and she agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She asked us to have a cup of tea and brought out candy and fruit for us.

She thanked us again and again as we were leaving. We told her not to thank us because it was Master Li who’d encouraged us to come see her, so she’d better thank him. She said she would.
