(Minghui.org) I am a teacher, and have been teaching high school students in their final years. After I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, I not only followed the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance to be a good person, but also applied the principles to my teaching, to improve the moral standards of my students.
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa in July 1999, I have been clarifying the truth to the people I can reach, especially my colleagues and students, and persuading them to quit the CCP, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers in order to save them.
In the days when VCD and DVD players were available, I often played truth-clarification videos for my students and asked them to not only understand the truth themselves, but to also tell their relatives what I had told them. Some students withdrew from the CCP and also persuaded their parents to withdraw. I usually asked the entire class to repeat the two phrases with me, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
In November 2022, before the CCP ended its lock-down policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, I wrote the two phrases on the blackboard and asked students whether they silently recited it. I also reminded them to ask their relatives and friends to silently recite the phrases. The semester ended early. When school started the following year, I checked the situation. In one class, the vast majority of students had told their parents to silently recite the phrases, and nearly one-third of the students’ families had no one infected with the virus.
Students often greet me on campus with “Falun Dafa is good” when they see me, including junior students I have not yet taught. All the leaders and my colleagues know about this and are used to it. No one says anything. Some junior students are difficult to discipline, so their home-class teachers will ask me to talk to these students about Falun Gong’s principles.
I clarify the truth and persuade colleagues to withdraw from the CCP. I also put truth materials on my desk for my colleagues and students to read. If the higher authorities come to inspect our work, my colleagues will put the materials in a drawer. Those who borrowed Zhuan Falun or Disintegrating the Culture of the Chinese Communist Party were unwilling to return them to me. They said that the books were so well written.
My colleagues are no longer afraid of the persecution after so many years of continuous truth-clarification. The school labor union once organized a volleyball game. The person serving the ball shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!” The person receiving the ball shouted, “Quit the Party to keep safe!”
Teachers and students also benefit from Falun Dafa. I have taught in several schools. No school has had a safety incident while I was there, and the graduation examinations went well every year. There are many examples of teachers and students who recognized the goodness of Dafa and received blessings. Here are just two stories of a principal who escaped danger.
Principal Cao is relatively young. He is very familiar with my truth-clarification at school and has never interfered. I once went to a police substation to clarify the truth. The head of the police station reported me to the city’s “610 Office.” Several people in the “610 Office” knew me, and were afraid they would be educated by me if they came to me in person. The office called Principal Cao and asked him to reprimand me on their behalf, but Principal Cao never came to me. I didn’t know about this until a long time later.
The school was closed when the pandemic started. Principal Cao called me to meet with him because he wanted to learn about the pandemic and how to avoid the plague. I talked a lot and told him to help his family members withdraw from the CCP.
Principal Cao gave me a ride home one night. At the highway entrance, a man stopped our car and asked for a ride. Principal Cao asked for my opinion. I said, “If he is in need, please give him a hand.” Five minutes later, a large truck in front of us had a traffic accident, and the car immediately behind the truck collided with it. We were behind that car but we avoided the accident. If it weren’t for the delay caused by giving the stranger a ride, it would have been our car that collided with the truck. Principal Cao said at that time, “Thank you so much. It must be your Master who is protecting us.” He later told other teachers about this incident.
Principal Cao had a stroke one night two years ago, and a school teacher rushed him to the hospital. The doctor said that Principal Cao would have been hopeless if he had arrived a few minutes later. Principal Cao survived the operation but became blind. He later went to Guangzhou to have his eyes treated, and not only did his eyesight recover but his body also did not suffer from hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body). He was later promoted to a higher position.
These are some blessings from understanding that Falun Dafa is good.
