(Clearwisdom.net) At the end of the year 2004, I downloaded the audio recording of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party from the Internet. I played it on my MP3 player and listened to it when I had time. I listened to it on the way to work and on my way back. Gradually I understood that a human life is created for one to return to their true self, and that all of mankind has been waiting for the moment when Dafa is spread. I made up my mind that I would undertake cultivation, no matter what. In the past, I had heard of Dafa, but I did not cultivate because of the persecution and my parents' disagreement with my doing so. In 2005, I obtained the Fa.
Now I have been cultivating for more than four years. The experience sharing articles published on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom) gave me tremendous help in my cultivation. Reading the articles gave me inspiration to attend the experience sharing conferences. Within the persecution environment in China, it was not easy for me to get in touch with other practitioners on a regular basis. The only fellow practitioner that I have constant correspondence with is my mother. Reading the articles on Minghui became an important part of my daily life and cultivation.
Compared to other practitioners, I am not very diligent when it comes to clarifying the truth. Sometimes I run into people who understand the truth, and I always feel happy for them from my heart.
I clarified the truth to a co-worker whose family members worked for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He was very keen on the subject of "gain and loss", but was not clear about the persecution of Falun Gong. When I talked with him, my attachment of being argumentative arose. At that time I was going to leave the company and I thought to myself, "It would be a poor reflection on me if he did not learn the truth." I continued to talk to him about Falun Gong whenever it was possible, and finally he agreed to withdraw from the CCP. He told me that he had listened to me because I was his co-worker, and that he probably would not have believed it if anyone else had told him the same things. He also knew that many people practice Falun Gong, and he stated to me, "There must be something good about Falun Gong!"
A new co-worker arrived one day, and I gave him a DVD of the film Courageous Journey Between Heaven and Earth, and other truth-clarification materials. He said that he knew about the persecution before, but that he had not thought much about it, but after watching the DVD, he truly respected and felt sympathy towards Falun Gong practitioners. Some of my co-workers became fans of Shen Yun. They told me that if the CCP personnel could have the chance to watch Shen Yun, they may not persecute practitioners any longer. When I heard this, I understood the statement from the Fa, "...cultivation depends on oneself, while gong depends on the Master..." much more clearly. Master brings these predestined people to me to allow me to save them.
