(Clearwisdom.net) The other day, I was reading Teacher's lecture "Touring North America to Teach the Fa" and came across this paragraph:
"The things Dafa disciples are met with are all really significant. People in the past talked about saving sentient beings; those who were being saved were only trivial human beings, ordinary human beings. They weren't worthy of being saved by Dafa disciples--it didn't need to be done by my Dafa disciples. The things you do are all pretty significant."
Since I obtained the Fa, time has become very precious. Every day I can't wait to study the Fa! The more I study the Fa, the more I cherish the cultivation experience, and the more grateful I am to Teacher. I'm thankful for Teacher's arrangement for me to be born during the Fa-rectification period. Although I still have many attachments, and there are many things I haven't done well, I'm really looking forward to completely assimilating to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. I can't describe in words the special honor I feel as a Dafa practitioner! I'd like to share with everyone my recent cultivation experiences.
Study the Fa Well
One time, I came across a practitioner in China on the Internet. The only Dafa book he has is Zhuan Falun. Recently I also met several other practitioners in China, all in similar situations. They were alone and continued to cultivate in China's difficult environment with their steadfast belief in Teacher. One practitioner called me from a public phone booth and cried. Later he told me that he couldn't hold back his tears when he walked back to the internet café from the phone booth. He told me that when he saw the truth-clarification materials I sent him, he was so happy that his hands were trembling. He felt like a kite lifted by the wind taking him home. Through telling people the truth about Falun Gong, I can feel Teacher's compassion. He arranged to have every practitioner keep up with the Fa-rectification. Let's encourage each other and advance diligently!
Some practitioners from China expressed their desire to read Teacher's new lectures. This made me think about how much I cherish Teacher's Fa. About six months ago, I chatted with a person on the Internet. He told me that he had been a practitioner. I asked him whether he had any difficulties and why he said he was no longer a practitioner. He told me that he didn't have access to Teacher's new lectures. I told him I would email him some safety software so he could learn how to visit Clearwisdom.net and read Teacher's new lectures and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. He agreed to give it a try. In just a few months, he was making great progress. He asked me to publish his declaration to withdraw from the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers on the internet for him. He also started to clarify the truth to people and sent me other people's declarations to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I was so moved. I could see his righteous thoughts, which came from his diligent Fa study. Recently, he started posting truth clarification posters. This made me realize how lucky we practitioners outside of China are. We have easy access to all of Teacher's lectures.
Some Experiences of Truth-clarification
When I first started to recommend the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to internet friends from China and told them about the wave of withdrawals from the CCP, many of them didn't understand me. Now the situation is quite different. People have started asking for the facts. Quite a few internet friends told me that they are so tired of hearing the many lies fabricated by the CCP government and asked me to send them more real news and truth materials.
My cell phone is reserved as a call-in line for people to declare their wish to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I receive messages almost every day from people wanting to withdraw. Every time I call, I find people who want to learn more truth. One time, a person who had heard our truth broadcast wanted to hear the truth audio again and asked us to play it for him one more time.
These days the situation has really changed. More and more people want to know the truth. Many individuals and print shops are printing the Nine Commentaries for their relatives and friends. Some practitioners told me that they could see that other practitioners were doing a good job in truth-clarification, and that their efforts have helped many people withdraw from the CCP. Why did they find it so difficult to clarify the truth to people? Maybe it was because they were not in a very good state, and they didn't have strong righteous thoughts. My personal understanding is that we need to always keep the thought of saving sentient beings in mind and do our best. It doesn't matter to which practitioner a person sends their withdrawal declaration. We shouldn't think that we are not in a very good state just because a person doesn't declare their withdrawal immediately after our truth-clarification. If we think like that, it will play a negative role in the process.
I just wanted to share with fellow practitioners some of my thoughts. The purpose of me sharing my experiences is to show my deep appreciation for my cultivation path. Finally, I would like to quote Teacher's lecture Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005 to encourage fellow practitioners:
"When human thinking gains the upper hand, that person heads toward humanness; when divine thinking and a person's righteous thoughts gain the upper hand, he heads toward godhood."
