We should put emphasis on the actual effect when clarifying the truth. The average person is often busy doing various tasks all day for a living and does not have several hours right off to read books full of truth clarifying material. We clarify the truth in order to save the people in the world, so we need to pay attention to the actual results. We should use different ways when dealing with different audiences and make detailed efforts. We should not use irresponsible ways such as sending materials out and then not checking on the end result.

Today, when the Icelandic people determinedly walked into the streets holding up banners that read, "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance," in order to support Falun Gong practitioners and as they courageously stand up for goodness, tears wet my shirt and my heart felt warm. I was touched by a feeling that I had not felt for a long time. I felt the fire of life has been rekindled.
