(Clearwisdom.net) I know an older practitioner who has diligently cultivated Falun Dafa since 1996. Her story moved me, and I would like to share her cultivation experience with others.
Around the 2007 Chinese New Year, when people were busy with family and friends, gathering to enjoy the holidays, this older practitioner went to the countryside, far away from the city. The heavy snow did not deter her from offering more people salvation.
She knocked on a farmer's door, greeting the farmer and his family with "Happy Chinese New Year!" She showed them a DVD of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and clarified the truth about Falun Gong. The farmers had never heard about it before. They were surprised by the information, and they treasured what they had received. She knew it was the time to tell them they should quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and continued telling them of Heaven's impending destruction of the CCP. She asked them to quit the CCP to save their futures. This farmer quit the CCP and sincerely thanked her for her help.
Studying the Fa, cultivating Dafa and sending forth righteous thoughts, she had only the one thought to save more people. Sometimes she distributed the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party at a restaurant and told the patrons the facts. When shopping on the street, she would hand out the Nine Commentaries and other materials to shoppers. Some people agreed to quit the CCP right away. Even on the bus, she tries to talk to people to help them. She clarified the truth face to face, and placed materials into people's hands. She also used other methods to clarify the truth, including sending letters to a police station, the courts, schools, and the other government organizations.
I asked her how she remains so calm in different situations and whether she was afraid. She told me, "Before cultivating, I had a feisty personality and argued with others all the time, and I also had poor health. The first time I went to the group practice site, I saw that the place was covered with a red glow, which could not be described with words. I was so eager to learn Falun Gong, but the coordinators were busy helping other new practitioners, and no one had time to help me. This bothered me. All of a sudden I looked up and saw a being in the air, clad in golden cloth, seated on a lotus flower. There were rays of lights by his sides. He smiled at me and showed me the postures of the exercise. I felt the power and learned the exercise from that person on the lotus flower. After I became a Dafa practitioner, I realized that it was Master who was sitting on the lotus flower. Cultivation improved my health and changed my personality. So many supernatural things happened to me, and Master's compassion always moves me. I firmly believe in Dafa. I believe that as long as Master has pointed something out, it must be the best thing for us to do. There is nothing to fear if we believe in Master and Dafa."
She is right! There is nothing to be afraid of if we believe in Master and Dafa.
She could consistently clarify the truth under various circumstances, simply because she believes in Master and Dafa, and never stops studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts!
We can save people as long as our thoughts are pure and altruistic. If we were fearful and self-centered, our work would be ineffective. If, on the other hand, we study the Fa well and compassionately clarify the truth, we should able to see that people are awaiting salvation, are awaiting Dafa, and we will recognize people's gratitude once they learn the truth.
