(Clearwisdom.net) While the process of Fa-rectification is pushing forward, the number of people who withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party hasn’t increased greatly. I would like to share my own experience to encourage the practitioners who are still waiting and watching to join in truth clarification efforts and help persuade people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Master said,
"The current state of things owes precisely to those things not having been cleared away yet, to there still being many people who are lost because of the lies, and to there still being many who are unwilling to learn the truth. But this state is constantly melting away, much like ice does. Once it has all melted away, this environment will no longer exist. Those who want to cultivate and improve will have no setting in which to do so. Those who want to save sentient beings will find that human beings all understand things, and so there will be no need to do that." ("Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital")
I have a feeling these kinds of opportunities are becoming fewer and fewer. I am a young practitioner who started to practice Falun Dafa in 2005. After I studied the recent articles and realized we should tell the truth as soon as possible, I wondered what I should do: How could I tell the truth to Mainland Chinese people? When I was trying to figure out a way, I posted articles from The Epoch Times on a China topic chat room in Taiwan. Unexpectedly, a Chinese student replied. This incident began my road to clarifying the truth.
I had no one to exchange understandings with and experienced a lack of a deep comprehension of the Fa, making it difficult for me to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP. Chatting with that Chinese student on and off for two or three months, I felt it to be quite a chore to move others with my convictions. The day I got truth-clarification materials was like an encouragement from Master. Within one hour I had persuaded that Chinese student to withdraw from the CCP, and also persuaded another new online acquaintance to withdraw.
At the beginning of this year, I began to think that I could use the telephone to tell the truth, but how should I do this? Whom should I call? I had a thought then: "No matter what, I am going to use the telephone to tell truth." I immediately bought an international telephone card but had no idea how to use it. I then attended a Fa-study group near a school. By "coincidence" there happened to be a newly-established telephone experience sharing Fa-study group. They taught me how to tell the truth by telephone and many practitioners gave me a lot of suggestions and encouraged me to stick with it. I still continue to make telephone calls.
I had another idea of how to take part in different telephone projects to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP, but I needed new telephone numbers. I soon got support from others during a brainstorming session about who could help me to obtain new telephone numbers. That same day a practitioner provided me with a used cell phone. All of these things reminded me again of Master’s words,
"Therefore, it is said that cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while transforming gong is done by one’s master. You can only have such a wish and think about it like that, but it is the master who actually does these things." ("Lecture Two" in Zhuan Falun)
Truly, once I have the wish, once I begin to think about it, Master will arrange everything. I used to be a pessimist and thought that I had no merit and no special skills, unlike other practitioners who are artists or have some other specialties. However, I believe there must be a reason for my blessed opportunity to live in this historic period, because Master won’t let his disciples do useless things. Today I suddenly realized that knowing how to speak Mandarin is also a Fa-implement, because we can use it to speak personally with Mainland Chinese people, tell them the truth and help them to withdraw from the CCP. Nothing is by chance.
"Don't worry about what's going to transpire in the future, it's enough if you know inside what you should do, carrying the Fa in your mind, doing whatever needs to be done, and doing whatever you wish to do, as long as Dafa needs it." ("Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital")
When I read those words again today, I realized that I was able to join the truth-clarification group so quickly because I believe, "Dafa needs it." Once "Dafa needs it," once we carry the Fa in our minds, once we believe in our Master, even though according to everyday people’s logic it seems impossible, we still can accomplish anything on the surface while Master does the things that really matter.
This is my personal understanding; please point out anything improper.
