Salvation

Our great Teacher has talked about the significance of clarifying the truth many times in his articles. However, some fellow practitioners believe that it is not very useful to clarify the truth to those who do not listen or cannot comprehend, but they do not analyze the reason behind it. I feel that this is a kind of interference aimed at practitioners' omissions and interference aimed at Fa-rectification. Thus, the evil behind it should be eliminated.

It requires us to be righteous, pure and leave no loopholes for the evil to take advantage of. Then we can work on people's misunderstandings one by one, so that we can "Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible).

Since I attained the Fa in July 1998, I have tried many times to spread the Fa to a couple, who are my old schoolmates and also my comrade-in-arms. But the result was not so good. It was not until today that I understood why. I had always done it with an attachment of wanting others to attain the Fa or to understand us, so I was confronted with strong resistance. Sometimes, when their words were close to those slanderous words used on TV, I lost hope in them.

Yesterday I stopped by at the couple's home. My heart was peaceful and calm. After chatting for about an hour, we began to talk about Dafa. As I listened to his issues, I kept quiet, using them to reflect upon myself and strengthen my resolve. When he brought up those bad sayings again, I sadly listened to his sharp speech with a heart full of compassion. After a while, I finally had something to say. I explained to him in a gentle and mild manner, no matter how bitter his words were. I knew my explanation might not be the best, since it was still slightly difficult for him to accept, but I never intended to persuade him. I explained the issues he was most concerned about, and I told him about my understandings of Dafa and my own experiences.

After almost two hours of chatting and shared laughter, I gained an exceptional result. In the end he warmly and earnestly told me, "I hope you will continue along this path until you have achieved your goal." I clearly saw tears in his eyes after he said it. I was moved to tears also. Trying to hold back my emotions, I said, while choked up, "Thanks. Thanks for your understanding." I knew that he had finally started to understand and comprehend Falun Dafa. There was now hope for another being.

Each person has a side that understands. When he is free from the control of evil and his main consciousness clearly understands what Dafa is, he will make a choice that is truly meaningful to his life.

I have realized the following from this experience:

1. "What you do then, with a pure heart, will be the best and most sacred" (Further Understanding). Fa-rectification is a sacred matter, but during the course of it, you will also remove your own attachments.

2. The reason for such difficulty in Fa-rectification is that practitioners have omissions and use their human side instead of their divine side to rectify the Fa. If our xinxing (the nature of the mind or the heart, moral character) is pure, then the evil is nothing and cannot withstand a single blow. We should eliminate the evil and save all beings.

In order to eliminate evil and thoroughly clarify the truth, we must use our divine side. At the same time, your indestructibly righteous faith in Dafa will "frighten all evil" (Also in a Few Words) and "rectify all that is not righteous" (Dafa is Indestructible). Would it be so hard to clarify the truth then?

Fellow practitioners, compassionately save those beings who are deceived by evil and headed for realms beyond redemption!
