Clarifying the Truth Is Also a Process of Self-Improvement

Dec. 23, 2024 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Hebei Province, China

(Minghui.org) I have practiced Falun Dafa for 27 years. I know the preciousness of Dafa and how hard it is for people to obtain the Fa. I cherish Dafa very much and firmly believe in Master, no matter what hardships I come across, even in a brutal brainwashing center. I remember Master’s teachings and do the three things well—rain or shine, hot or cold. 

Falun Dafa practitioners’ mission is to save sentient beings. I go out to clarify the truth to people more than 300 days a year. It is my mission to save sentient beings and fulfill my vows. During the process, I have upgraded my travel means from a bicycle to a scooter, to a motorcycle, and finally to a car. 

We go out to distribute pamphlets household by household, not leaving anyone out. Most of the time we clarify the truth in person. Most people are accepting of our message, but some people have said, “Give me money and I will read the pamphlets.”

One day I gave a pamphlet to a roadside worker. He said with a smile that he would accept it if I gave him 200 yuan (US $27). I smiled and said, “You see there are so many disasters. The big flood in the south harmed so many people. People have also died suddenly from diseases. Do you think that 200 yuan can save your life? This pamphlet will let you know how to be blessed by the divine when catastrophe comes.” I then further clarified the truth to him. He understood and agreed to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I have come across many such people. 

One day I went to a market and saw some older men smoking and chatting. I greeted them and asked, “Do you want to be blessed?” They looked at each other and one said, “To be blessed? Of course we want that.” I took the pamphlets out of my bag and gave each one of them a copy. One of the men suddenly jumped at me, grabbed my arm, and hit it hard with his fist. The other men stopped him and asked him not to hit me. He loosened his grip and cried, covering his face with his hands. 

He said, “My wife was constantly harassed by the police and was arrested many times because she practiced Falun Gong. We lived a miserable life due to the harassment. Later on she got ill again and died. I hate Falun Gong.”

I asked him if his wife had illnesses before she practiced Falun Gong. He replied, “Yes, she had serious illnesses. She recovered from her illnesses after she practiced Falun Gong.” I asked him if he hated Falun Gong then. He didn’t answer.

“Your wife was frightened to death by the police,” I said. “She was persecuted to death. Please think about it, if the police didn’t frighten her, she would not have gotten ill again.” The other men nodded in agreement, and one said, “She is right. You shouldn’t hate Falun Gong.”

I rolled up my sleeve and saw that my arm was bruised. The men looked at my arm and turned to look at the man who hit me. He seemed to be understanding something and looked at me with apologetic eyes. I said, “That’s all right as long as it made you feel better.” I told them to recite “Falun Dafa is good” repeatedly to dispel the sadness in their hearts. I wished them good health and longevity. 

On one occasion, I put my bag on my tricycle and zipped it up. The lady at the stall nearby said that I stole two bulbs of garlic from her. I was surprised. She said, “You see, I lost two bulbs of garlic.” I didn’t get angry, though she insulted me. I thought to myself that I had a bag of truth-clarification materials with me, so I shouldn’t argue with her or it might cause trouble. I said to her calmly, “Can you tell me how much they cost? I will give you the money.” She didn’t say anything and turned to attend her stall. I then left.

When I came back, she was still there. I went over to her and said, “I practice Falun Gong. Falun Gong teaches people to be good. Even if you gave all your goods to me, I would not take anything. You are not having an easy time making a living. Nowadays there are so many catastrophes. To be safe is the most important thing. Falun Gong is a great way of the Buddha School. Please remember ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ You will be blessed.” I clarified the truth to her further, and she agreed to quit the CCP. 

We come across all sorts of people when we clarify the truth. No matter how they behave, we should have compassion, and regard it as a test to see how well we cultivate. 

In these end times, there are many pitiful and unreasonable people. Master asked us to save more sentient beings. We must try our best to save more people and fulfill our prehistoric vows.
