Kindhearted People I Met at Markets

(Minghui.org) Practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is not merely for self-salvation; practitioners should clarify the facts and help save others. As a genuine practitioner, I must not only cultivate myself well but also do well in truth-clarification and help others be saved. I have been talking with people about Falun Dafa and the persecution at markets, where I have met many kindhearted people. I’d like to share a few recent instances.

Saved by a One-yuan Bill

One day, I was discussing Dafa with people I met at a market on a busy road lined with vendors on both sides. I walked down the road on the right, going vendor by vendor to clarify the facts, hand out materials, and help people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.

When I finished one side and moved to the other side, I noticed the wind was slowly blowing something across the road, and it stopped at my feet. It was a one-yuan bill. I did not pick it up.

A woman in her 60s rushed over and picked it up. She was a vegetable vendor who had lost the bill while giving changed to a customer. I immediately shared facts about Falun Dafa with her and said, “You’re blessed. The one-yuan bill seems to be leading the way for you. Have you heard about quitting the three CCP organizations to be safe?”

She replied, “Yes, I heard about it when I was living with my son in Beijing, taking care of his baby. But I haven’t quit.”

I said, “Perhaps the opportunity hadn’t ripened at the time. Now the one-yuan bill is leading the way for you to receive the blessing. Do you believe me?”

She replied happily, “Yes, I believe you. I joined the Young Pioneers. Please help me quit.” She walked back to her stand, still smiling. I was so happy for her.

Cancer Survivor Regains Health

At another market, I handed a pamphlet to a woman riding a tricycle. She accepted it, pointed to her husband, who was getting off the driver’s seat, and told me excitedly, “He loves reading your handouts. Look at his radiant face; it’s because of you guys. He is a cancer survivor. Now he’s healthier than anyone. He’s full of energy and never gets tired.”

I recognized the man and recalled that about 15 years prior he was suffering from stomach cancer and had a yellowish complexion, wobbling as he walked. He later underwent surgery and was bedridden. Another practitioner and I learned of his situation and visited him. We shared facts about Dafa, and he was very receptive. We later installed an NTD TV (New Tang Dynasty) satellite dish for him.

He came to understand the truth by watching NTD, and before long regained his health. He shared what he had seen on NTD with others and invited many people to his home to watch the programs. His kind actions earned him blessings. He has accumulated a great deal of virtue and looks radiant, not at all like someone in his 70s.

“If He Doesn’t Want It, I Do!”

I was handing out pamphlets one day at a market. Most people accepted them, except for one. At that moment, someone shouted from far away, “If he doesn’t want it, I do!” I turned around and saw a man in his 40s approaching. He waved at me, and I walked over and handed him a pamphlet. He took it, and we chatted.

He told me he had read Zhuan Falun and had learned to do exercise five, the sitting meditation, but hadn’t truly started practicing. After the CCP began persecuting Falun Dafa, he dared not read the book anymore and later misplaced it. However, whenever he was bothered by something or had an ailment, as soon as he thought of Zhuan Falun, he immediately became clear-minded and felt better.

He asked, “Could you please find me a copy of Zhuan Falun?” I promised to bring it to him at the next market.

After I got home, I put together a package for him, including a copy of Zhuan Falun, several other Dafa books, a USB flash drive containing Master’s lectures prepared by another practitioner, a video player, and an exercise instruction pamphlet. I gave him the package at the next market. He held it to his chest, speechless with gratitude.

“Why Are You Asking Her Which Village She’s From?”

At another market, a middle-aged cigarette vendor was sitting with a man on each side of him. I handed him a pamphlet, and he took it quickly, but neither of the men beside him did. One of the men asked me, “Which village are you from? Do you receive social security benefits?”

The vendor interrupted, “Why are you asking her which village she’s from? Her handouts are good. I read each one repeatedly. The more I read them, the more I like them. The content is all for others’ good. I also have a book that I read every day.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “Look at her, at her age. In this heat, did she ask you for money for what she’s handing out? All Falun Dafa practitioners are good people. Nowadays, who gives things out for free? Falun Dafa practitioners do. Why don’t you take a pamphlet, read it at home, and decide for yourself whether it’s good or not?”

The man reached out his hand and accepted a copy.

Later on, I said to the vendor, “You’re so kind and understand the facts about Dafa. You will be blessed.”

He lowered his voice and replied, “I practiced Falun Dafa previously.”

I said happily, “So you’re a former practitioner. Let’s advance diligently together.”

From the Fa, I have learned that all the people in the world were once Master’s family. During the course of sharing about Falun Dafa, I truly felt that Master was bringing predestined people to me, and all I did was talk a little, whereas Master actually saved them.

Thank you, our great and benevolent Master!
