(Clearwisdom.net) Before the Olympic Torch passed through my city this year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spread rumors slandering Falun Gong practitioners, which caused tension within my work organization. One morning, the vice chairman at work summoned me for a meeting. I told him solemnly, "We Falun Gong practitioners are required to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance to become better and better people. We would never do anything harmful to others or to ourselves. A Falun Gong practitioner would never do anything these rumors say. It is complete falsehood, just like the self-immolation act staged by the CCP to instigate public hatred against Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners." Because I immediately denied the false allegations, the vice chairman concluded the meeting in five minutes. In the afternoon, the captain approached me and told me to stay at home or she might lose her job. I explained to her the heavenly principle of karmic retribution and told her about litanies of wicked deeds of the CCP. Then I explained to her that Falun Gong practitioners have been distributing materials containing important facts about Falun Gong and the evil CCP, so that people will know the truth. When our conversation was about to end, she suddenly said, "You must be responsible for me!"
I was astounded. Isn't her knowing side anxiously imploring me to save her? How can I be worrying about myself? I told her with sincerity, "Captain, I truly want to be responsible for you. You have known me for many years. Apparently, we have a profound predestined relationship. There is something I wanted to say to you for a long time, yet I have hesitated due to concerns for myself. Now that you have asked me to be responsible for you, I must tell it to you now. Have you heard about withdrawing from the CCP and its two affiliated student leagues for your safety?" Next, I explained to her that the CCP is doomed to meet karmic retribution and collapse because of all the wicked deeds it has done, and that all its members, including former members, should withdraw in order to be saved from the same fate. I was on the verge of tears when she was touched by my sincerity. She agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its leagues right away. I was happy that another life had been saved. On the other hand, I shuttered to think I could have missed this predestined person had I not had the courage to ask her. I have learned that within a split second one can transform one's notion.
I have been practicing Falun Gong in the Fa-rectification period for over nine years. Whether I was clarifying the truth to people or doing things to validate the Fa, I felt that when I did well, it was when I studied the Fa well and it was a natural manifestation of the Fa. When I failed to do well, it was because I was trapped by my human notions, I didn't study the Fa enough or I didn't study the Fa wholeheartedly. Fellow practitioners, let's study the Fa more and study the Fa well so as to do well the sacred three things Teacher asks of us. Given the limited time left, let's search inward constantly and rectify our shortcomings. Let us never allow attachments or notions to obstruct us from progressing on our cultivation path.
Finally, I hope that all fellow practitioners will reach Consummation and return home with Teacher! Thank you all!
