(Clearwisdom.net) I am an ordinary hospital staff member and have the daily opportunity to interact with many patients and their family members. During my interactions with them I clearly detect the effects of my strong righteous thoughts when I had been diligent in Fa study. I would then easily converse with patients and their family members in the patient ward and come up with ways to clarify the facts about Falun Gong.
I would be able to tell them about the current trend of renouncing membership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. If I had not taken Fa study seriously and was not diligent, the interference would be apparent. It would be difficult for me then to tell people the truth about Dafa. Fears and worries would overtake me, and I would not meet the basic standard of a cultivator. Sometimes I would be calculating toward others, and my attachments to jealousy, to showing off, zealotry and competing as well as the desire for notoriety and renown would become quite apparent. I was then far from offering salvation to sentient beings. I have experienced firsthand the importance of studying the Fa well. Studying the Fa is my guarantee for having strong righteous thoughts. Only then will I manage to do the three things well, as Master requires. I think fellow practitioners would agree with me on this.
Master said in the lecture "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital" (2007)
"Aside from what you as individuals need to go through and establish on your final road to Consummation, what is most important for you and most significant right now is to save people."
Reading this paragraph made me understand more profoundly the urgency of offering salvation to people. We practitioners should heed Master's words! We need to take this task as the most important thing to do. Although it is my job to give patients injections and medications, they are also sentient beings who have a predestined relationship with me. I should not miss any opportunity that presents itself to offer them salvation. Even if there were no opportunity to explain the truth to them, I would send strong righteous thoughts towards everyone in the ward, "Please, remember that Falun Dafa is good!"
I am always very considerate of my patients and their family members. Perhaps their aware side could feel the compassion that we practitioners have cultivated in Dafa; thus these people were very friendly to me. Even if I did not do anything for them, they spontaneously and for no reason thank and praise me. When they praised me I would use this occasion to validate Dafa. When I exchanged views with them, I would use the wisdom Dafa has given me to let them know about renouncing their Party membership.
An elderly patient had suffered a brain hemorrhage. His wife would stay by his bedside. I would give him a daily injection and also showed my care and concern by asking about him. One day we discussed food. I said we should eat less pork nowadays. I qualified my comment with today's food containing additives; that the CCP makes people think the concepts of the existence of gods are superstition; that the CCP prohibits people to believe that good deeds beget good, and evil deeds beget evil; that the CCP disregards morals and urges people to put monetary gain as a priority. One aspect of this craze for financial gain is that farmers feed pigs with growth hormone enhanced feed. These chemicals contain toxic elements and sleep-inducing substances. The consumption of meat from pigs fed such a diet would be harmful to humans. The elderly man's wife commented that the CCP has become very evil now. I told her about the trend to renounce one's CCP membership, to ensure one's own safety since the CCP is doomed for destruction. She happily agreed to renounce her CCP membership.
I offered to give her a copy of the booklet Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party but she already had a copy. I thought to myself that my fellow practitioners had done well if this woman had a copy already. This older lady most probably had heard or read the truth about Falun Gong. Now that the opportunity was ripe, with Master's arrangement, I am here to help the two older people renounce their CCP membership. We practitioners must not be attached to results when clarifying the truth or encouraging people to give up their CCP membership. We should not be in a hurry for results and should put our hearts into doing what we should do. Those who are worthy of salvation will then finally saved.
The older woman also told me during our chat that she had read the book Zhuan Falun a long time ago. She said the book is very well written and she also told me that she is a Christian.I suggested that she once again carefully read the book Zhuan Falun and told her not to miss this predestined relationship that comes only once in a lifetime. I promised to give her a copy of Zhuan Falun. She happily agreed. I made a special trip to the hospital to give her the book so she could study the Fa one day sooner, a few days before she accompanied her husband out of the hospital. On the way I thought it would be good if she would stand near the window; then I would not have to enter the ward. I raised my head and saw her at the window hanging up some clothes. The joy I felt right then was immense and hard to describe. I know it is our compassionate Master who is encouraging and helping me along.
When we take the correct path during Fa-rectification, Master is able to help us with anything. Once again I had a deeper understanding of "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master."("Lecture One," Zhuan Falun, 2000 translation version)
I still have several shortcomings to deal with during my cultivation. But I understand that validating Dafa and saving sentient beings are my sacred missions. I would continue to take the Fa as my guide when offering sentient beings salvation, and fulfilling my prehistoric vow. Master, please be assured!
Thank you Master! Thank you fellow practitioners!
