[Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day] My Driving Instructor Spreads the Word That Dafa Is Good

(Minghui.org) I am 60-year-old retired teacher. I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1995. Like so many practitioners, I put the Falun Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance into practice in my daily life. I clarify the truth to people and save them from being poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

I’d like to share a story of how my driving instructor cooperated with me to clarify the truth and save sentient beings.

Practitioner Wang Dajie and I attended a driving school to prepare for our driving tests two years ago. There were five members in our group. Our average age was 60. We were a bit slower at learning how to drive than younger drivers, but we all worked hard.

The instructor only had one car for us to practice driving. We were allotted half an hour of driving time each, but we all wanted to drive a bit longer. We could only practice driving a few times a day, and some of the students didn’t want to get out of the car once they got in. Wang Dajie and I always let the others drive first. We didn’t linger in the car over our allotted time and tried to get out a few minutes early. Thanks to our behavior, the other members of the group did the same, and we all got along well. The instructor was very happy.

The Instructor Learned the Truth and Her Back Pain Disappeared

The instructor had back pain. She wore an electric device around her back to treat it but continued to teach us and let us practice since the test was coming up. 

She arranged for Wang Dajie and me to take the driving lesson together. During the breaks, we clarified the truth to her. We told her how we had benefited from practicing Falun Dafa and recovered from our ailments, how Falun Dafa has spread around the world, how great Master Li is, how the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident was staged, and how the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners. She listened and agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. As she listened, she said, “Isn’t Teacher Li a Buddha?” We asked her if she would like to listen to Master’s audio lectures. She agreed.

I gave her an audio player and several Falun Dafa pamphlets the next day. A few days later, I asked her if she had heard any of the lectures. She said she listened to them before she went to bed and in the morning. She said she liked them. We encouraged her to continue listening. She said, “Yes, definitely.”

By the time the driving tests were over, her back pain had disappeared. She no longer wore the electric device. She had benefited from Falun Dafa.

When we were taking the written test on the computers in the driving school building, I noticed that the mouse pads were old and worn and hard to use. I bought over 20 new pads and asked the instructor to take them to the school and replace the old ones. I first bought 10 pads. The driving school staff members took them for themselves. The instructor laughed and said to them, “You guys are morally inferior to that lady. She gave things out, while you took them.” She said to me, “You are so kind. There aren’t many people like you nowadays.”

She said to the employees, “You see how kind this lady is. She bought the mouse pads with her own money. The driving school should buy them. Do you know why she is so good? Because she believes in Falun Dafa. Actually, the propaganda about it on TV is all false. Falun Dafa teaches people to be good. I am now willing to help others and do things according to the Falun Dafa principles.” The employees said, “So Falun Dafa is not like what the propaganda said on TV. This lady is so kind. It is hard to find such a person now.”

The instructor said, “You see Wang Dajie, who is the oldest student, practices Falun Dafa. You see her demeanor, how good she looks. She is in good shape and in good health. She learned how to drive quickly. You cannot tell that she is already in her 70s!”

The Instructor Spreads the Word That Dafa Is Good

I sent a young lady to learn to drive with that instructor last year. One day I went to the driving school to see how she was doing.

There were three other university students in her group, so there were five altogether, including the instructor. I bought five lunch boxes of rice noodles and six bottles of water and took them over to the driving school. The instructor said to her team members, “You see this lady is so kind. Though she doesn’t know you, she has brought you a lunch box. She is so kind.” They showed their appreciation and thanked me.

Because they were busy practicing driving, I didn’t say much and left. I felt a little regretful, because I didn’t clarify the truth to them. I mentioned this to the instructor later on. The instructor said, “I told them that you practice Falun Dafa. That’s why you are so kind. They were surprised. I told them that Falun Dafa is not like the government propaganda says. The propaganda is fake. Falun Dafa teaches people to be good. I asked them not to believe what the government said. They all nodded and agreed. One student was moved to tears. She said that you were so kind.”

After I finished the driving test, the instructor often rang me and introduced some elderly students to me and asked me to teach them how to download the driving test app and how to do the written tests. She said to them, “This lady learned to drive quickly and well. She is very kind. She practices Falun Dafa and likes to help others.”

One day the instructor asked a 67-year-old man to come see me. I shared my learning experiences with him. He was very thankful. I then clarified the truth to him. He accepted the Falun Dafa amulet I offered him and agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Several family members of the instructor also work in the driving school. With the help of the instructor, I clarified the truth to them and helped them withdraw from the CCP. I gave them truth-clarification pamphlets, desk calendars, and Falun Dafa amulets. The instructor clarified the truth to one of her family members and helped him quit the CCP. I wanted to clarify the truth to another of her family members. The instructor said that he didn’t agree with what she had said to him and asked me to wait.

After I got my driver’s license, I went with the instructor to see that relative. He used to be a CCP Party secretary and was seriously poisoned by the CCP's propaganda. He wouldn’t listen to me and didn’t take the pamphlets I tried to give to him. But he acknowledged that Falun Dafa practitioners are good. During our conversation, I stayed calm and kind. I knew I should leave him with a good impression so that I could have the opportunity to clarify the truth to him again one day.

The instructor said to me, “He didn’t want the pamphlets. Please give them to me. I will read them.” I told her that she already had the same ones. She said that she would give them to other people. We ran into a student as we walked out, and she gave her a pamphlet. I then clarified the truth to her and helped her quit the CCP.

Instructor: Because I Believe in Falun Dafa

The instructor has continued to listen to Master’s audio lectures. Although she hasn’t started practicing the exercises yet, she has changed both mentally and physically. Three years ago she had major surgery. She was weak and had constant back pain. But now her back pain is gone. She had an annual physical exam a year or so ago. The doctor said that she was in good health and all her indicators were normal. She knows that she has benefited from Falun Dafa and is very thankful to Master for his blessings.

She has changed her perspective as well. One day she saw an elderly couple walking down the street with their luggage. She stopped, picked them up, and took them to their village a mile away. The couple was very thankful and said, “You are so kind. Nowadays, there are few people like you.” She said, “It’s because I believe in Falun Dafa.” The couple said, “Falun Dafa is really good. The propaganda on TV is all lies.”

One day two ladies from another driving school were watching her teach a student how to drive. The instructor said to them, “Please come closer. If you want to learn, I can teach you.” She asked them to get into her car and taught them how to drive. The ladies said, “You are so kind. You are a good person. Actually, we are Falun Dafa practitioners, but we didn’t tell you that because we are shy.” The instructor was very happy and said, “Don’t be shy. I believe in Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is wonderful!”

I told her that May 13th is Master’s birthday and also World Falun Dafa Day, and we send greeting cards to Master every year. She said, “Please help send a greeting card to Master for me and for my son’s family. I also wish Master a happy birthday. We are very thankful to Master for his protection!”

Closing Remarks

With the help of the instructor, I have clarified the truth to more than 30 people and helped them withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They accepted Falun Dafa pamphlets, amulets, desk calendars, and truth-clarification USBs.

The instructor has good health and is happy since she learned the truth. She does well at work, too. More of her students pass the driving exam than any other team in the school. She also has the most students. More and more people have come to register for her classes.

Thanks to Falun Dafa’s power and compassion, more and more people who have learned the truth are spreading Falun Dafa. My wish is that all kindhearted people in this world will know the truth and be saved by Falun Dafa!
