(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1993. As I was very young at that time, and I didn't realize how valuable Dafa is. I didn't start to truly cultivate until 1997.
When the evil persecution of Falun Dafa started in 1999, I knew what the media said about Dafa were all lies and I felt so sad that Dafa was being slandered. During that time, I was newly married and pregnant. During the process of moving to another area, I lost contact with other practitioners. Without a good cultivation environment, I gradually slacked off in cultivation and soon behaved like an ordinary person.
In 2003, I met a practitioner by accident. I call her Aunt as she is about my mother's age. Through her, I became aware of the progress of Fa rectification and what I had missed. She helped me get all Teacher's articles from those years. After I read them, I knew I should step forward to clarify the truth of Dafa to people, as it is every Dafa disciple's responsibility during the Fa-rectification period.
Distributing Truth Clarification Materials
Aunt gave me some truth clarification materials. I knew what to do but I was still afraid to do it. I worked in a supermarket and didn't have much time to do the three things. On my way between home and work, I would leave some truth clarification materials in bicycle baskets or on buses. But I was nervous and afraid.
Then I discovered an opportunity by chance and started a new job. This was a sales job and the work schedule was very flexible. I knew it was Teacher's arrangement for me to step out and do the three things better. Very soon, I met a practitioner who worked in the same company. We started to study the Fa and distribute truth clarification materials together. Only at this time did I truly start walking on the path of cultivation during the Fa rectification period.
My fellow practitioners have learned a lot from Aunt. Before we go out to distribute truth clarification materials, we first send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions and rotten demons in the area we are heading to. We also recite Teacher's article "Also in a Few Words." Because we are both young, it is easier for us to go to universities and colleges to distribute materials. Nowadays, colleges usually have surveillance cameras installed on campus. We send forth righteous thoughts: "Do not let the surveillance cameras and security guards see us since we are going to save people." With Teacher's care, we have come back safely every time.
In the beginning, we took truth clarification materials from Aunt. If she gave us more, we just thought about how to finish them fast, as if it were an assignment. After some sharing, we realized that we shouldn't rely on other practitioners for truth clarification materials. So each of us set up a small truth clarification material production site at home. With other practitioners' help, we learned how to download truth clarification materials, make brochures and stickers, etc. We make materials with target audiences in mind.
We put those materials in brown envelopes and sometimes write words like "Please pass this along to others" on the envelopes. The materials we have distributed are countless. Many people have learned the truth of Falun Gong through those materials, but a lot of people still do not understand the truth and they tear apart the materials they receive. It pains me when I see them damaged. Those people have committed huge mistakes out of ignorance.
Since the Fa rectification has reached its current stage, while still distributing reading materials, we should focus more on face to face truth clarification.
Clarifying the Truth
There are thousands of employees in our company, and we can meet at least a hundred co-workers every day. In the beginning, we had some concerns about face to face truth clarification. After studying the Fa more and more, we realized that Teacher arranged for us to come to this company in order to let people here learn the truth of Falun Gong. We have to talk to them. After we talked to more and more people, we gradually changed from being afraid of talking and not knowing what to say to loving to talk and talking with great wisdom. We have a lot of experience with this. Thanks to the help and guidance from the Minghui/Clearwisdom website and fellow practitioners' sharing, we've become more and more mature in truth clarification.
Some coworkers quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations after we told them the truth. Some even told other people the truth. There are still a lot of people who do not believe us, and I know I need to continue improving myself in order to do better. Sometimes we give them links to relevant websites and let them read the information for themselves. We believe they will choose a good future for themselves.
When directly talking to people about Falun Gong, our hearts must be pure. Usually, we first send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate dark minions, rotten demons, and the Communist evil specter behind the person we want to talk to. Then we choose a topic according to that person's background. People will believe what we say when our words touch their hearts. Sometimes such talk may not work. Don't give up. Try to talk to them again after a while.
We have met a lot of people because of the nature of our jobs. The result of our truth clarification is very good, because we cooperate with each other well. We sometimes speak from our own experiences and sometimes about others'. We always keep truth clarification in mind and do not want to miss anyone. Whether it's when we are riding on buses or taxis or when a stranger asks directions, we treat everyone as a person with a predestined relationship that is coming to learn the truth from us. Although we haven't done enough, we are trying to improve ourselves and do better.
I had a dream one night: I walked into a shop to clarify the truth to the shop owner and his family. At the end of the dream, the whole family quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I realize the dream is Teacher's reminder for me to do truth clarification more diligently. The next day I met a young girl while waiting for a bus. I told her that over 20 million people have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations and explained why they quit. She agreed to quit without much hesitation. She even asked for the website link to get more information and said she would tell her friends, too. My practitioner coworker and I also make small cards with links to relevant websites on them and carry the cards with us. It is very convenient. On the same day I met a teenage boy on a bus. I had talked to him before but he didn't quit the CCP then. This time he agreed to quit after hearing only a few words from me. I then went to a shop. The shop owner agreed to quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. She picked a nickname for herself. It is Teacher's arrangement that I could help three people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations within two hours. I know it is not my achievement. It is Teacher who looks after me, encourages me, and arranges those opportunities.
This experience helps me have a better understanding of why we should hurry up to clarify the truth and save more people.
I still remember the first time I got on Minghui/Clearwisdom and saw Teacher's photo. My excitement was beyond words. During these years, no matter how ferocious the evil has been, my belief in Teacher and the Fa has never shaken a bit. Also, because I read many fellow practitioners' experience sharing articles on this website, I know how to do truth clarification and avoid some of the pitfalls.
How fortunate we are to be able to become Teacher's disciples today. Those practitioners who haven't stepped forward should hurry up. Doing the three things well is our responsibility and duty. Let us all cultivate diligently, follow the progress of Fa rectification closely, and go back to our true homes with Teacher.
