(Clearwisdom.net) Master told us that "ninety percent of the human race are beings from high levels." ("Touring North America to Teach the Fa") Master has also said, "Every being and every object came for Dafa, was formed for Dafa and created for Dafa, and that includes all people." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Washington DC Fa Conference") Recently I read those lectures one more time and felt that Dafa disciples' responsibilities are indeed enormous in the Fa-rectification period. Only when we study the Fa well can we save more sentient beings and do better. Otherwise, one thought or one sentiment can block those beings from being saved.
I attained the Fa in 1994. Before that, I didn't like to talk, and I seldom said anything to anyone that I wasn't acquainted with. After I learned Falun Gong, people said to me, "Since you started practicing, not only your health improved and your temper became good, but you have also become more talkative." I knew in my heart that it was Dafa that gave me wisdom. It was meant for me to clarify the truth.
In 2001, the Party Branch Head at my workplace often had talks with me and asked me to write a guarantee statement that I would not go to appeal for Falun Gong and not cause trouble for him. I often told him about the beauty and wonder of Dafa, as well as how it had changed me. I told him why I went to appeal. He had seen how I changed. In the end, he could only tell me that he was following his superior's orders. After that, he didn't look for me to talk again. He said that he knew he couldn't persuade me. I felt that, faced with the truth, he had no defense. He made other Party members come talk to me. As long as I held strong righteous thoughts, no matter who tried to "talk" me, my strong determination to cultivate did not waver. Instead, if I could persuade them, they could be saved.
However, in 2004, when the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, I was interfered with by my own notions. Many human thoughts surfaced. I was afraid that ordinary people wouldn't understand and thought that we were getting into politics, etc., so I only tried to persuade my friends and family to quit the Party and did not talk to others.
After I went abroad in 2005, I deeply regretted not having strong righteous thoughts back then and that I did not save more Chinese people. Although the environment outside of China is a lot better, I came into contact with a limited number of Chinese. Seeing those Chinese tourist groups and students passing in front of me, I often looked at them with my human notions, so I have missed opportunities to save them.
"Make clear the truth,
and drive off foul spirits.
Spread widely the Nine Commentaries,
and the wicked Party shall fade.|
With righteous thoughts,
save the world's people.
I just don't believe their consciences
are irretrievably lost." ("For the Good of the World")
After Master's poem "For the Good of the World" was published, I was very moved. I felt that Master was reminding us of the urgency to save people and how to use righteous thoughts to save them. It is our responsibility.
Firmly believe in Master, let go of fear
A tour guide once asked me, "Are you from Such and Such Company in Beijing? You look familiar." I got very nervous then. My fear surfaced and I was afraid of suggesting that he quit the Party. I immediately recalled Master's words, "The old forces don't dare to oppose our clarifying the truth or saving sentient beings." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston") Master is here. The Fa is here. What is there to fear? When the tour guide came by again, I greeted him fearlessly and gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries. I told him that Heaven was going to destroy the Chinese Communist Party and about the significance of withdrawing from the Party to be safe. He smiled at me and nodded in agreement.
Eliminating the notion of social class, compassionately save every Chinese person
In the past, I always judged people on their appearance. When I saw a tourist group that looked like government officials, I thought they would be difficult to save, so I was unwilling to talk to them.
After I studied the Fa and improved my xinxing, my righteous thoughts got stronger. When tourist groups from China passed by, no matter what their attitudes appeared to be or what kind of people they were, I was able to clarify the truth to them. I kindly shared my understanding with them and used my wisdom to give them copies of the Nine Commentaries. When there were a lot of people around, they were afraid of taking it, so I would hand it to them inconspicuously. Some people secretly put it in their pockets.
When the tourist groups dispersed for free activities, I would target one person at a time. I told them that the CCP fights heaven, fights earth, doesn't believe in divine beings, destroys faith, and damages nature. Heaven has decided to punish it and I hoped that sentient beings wouldn't be taken down with it. Some predestined people agreed to quit the Party, so I immediately assigned them an alias [to withdraw from the Party].
Some people said that they knew the CCP was corrupt, but to say that it would be eliminated, they didn't believe it. Then I told them that, in Chinese history, many dynasties faded because they were corrupt and were not allowed to exist any longer. Then a new dynasty would be established. Moreover, the CCP doesn't believe in divine beings. It has destroyed traditional culture.
I told them that, as long as they agreed, I would give them an alias to announce their withdrawal from the Party so they could be safe. They had to agree sincerely, do well in their jobs, and not do any bad deeds with the CCP, then it would be all right. When they saw that I was acting truly for their own good, many of them agreed to quit the Party.
Every Saturday we went to downtown to clarify the truth and encourage people to quit the Party. One Saturday in April, many Chinese students showed up. Some of them were from other cities. After letting go of human notions, it was very easy to persuade them to quit.
When I saw four students pass by, I went up to them right away to give them the Nine Commentaries and the "Three Withdrawals" brochures. They laughed and wouldn't take them. I kindly clarified the truth to them. Taking their age and status into consideration, I told them that the CCP killed so many patriotic young people in Yanan and that it carried out the Tiananmen Square Massacre. It killed young educated people. I hoped that they could see clearly the evil nature of the CCP and separate themselves from it so that they could have a wonderful future. When they took the Nine Commentaries, I said, "Let me give you an alias to quit the Party. Then you can be at ease. It is taking responsibility for future 'national pillars of the state.'" The four of them smiled. When they agreed to withdraw, I found that I had walked a long way with them.
When I came back, a fellow practitioner said, "The ones that you helped to withdraw today were really something." I asked, "What do you mean?" He said, "When I saw them pass by, just looking at them, the way they were shooting the breeze, I knew that it would be difficult." I replied, "Don't look at their appearance, just look at them as Chinese students who need to be saved. As long as we hold strong righteous thoughts, the evil behind them will collapse."
Fellow practitioners, let us eliminate each one of our notions and kindly save every being.
