(Clearwisdom.net) I am 66 years old and began to practice Falun Gong in 1996. After beginning the practice, all the illnesses I had suffered from before vanished. Falun Gong helped me to gain a broad mind and uplifted my xinxing. The changes in me brought happiness to my family. I would like to share some of my truth clarification experiences.
1. Telling the facts to people every day; wasting no time in offering sentient beings salvation
Master said in “Be More Diligent,”
“…that the number of lives to be saved before the final moment arrives has not reached the amount it should; and that there is still a portion of Dafa disciples that hasn’t kept up. That is the key reason why the end of this undertaking still hasn’t been enacted.”
I learned that the reason I came to this human world with Master was to assist Master to save sentient beings.
Ever since I fully understood what Master said, I have told people the facts about Falun Gong and helped them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I did this in farmers' markets every day except on rainy days and holidays. One morning two of us helped over 60 people to quit the CCP.
There are farmers' markets in different villages every day in our area. We follow the markets daily, from one city to another. Large crowds of people come to the markets, so we work together to rescue them. While one of us tells people the facts, the other sends righteous thoughts. Depending on the circumstance, sometimes both of us speak with people at the same time. After learning the truth, people usually want to quit the CCP. Then we give them DVDs and brochures. We tell them to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
2. Master’s words of encouragement
In the process of rescuing sentient beings and cultivating myself, I have gone through xinxing tests. Right after this year's Chinese New Year we received Shen Yun DVDs. The practitioner in charge of making copies had to copy a large number of DVDs, because practitioners from many villages get the DVDs from us. Young practitioners helped put labels on the DVDs. Compared to those young practitioners, I was very slow in labeling the DVDs. I thought perhaps it would be better for me to go to the markets to save people.
It would be the first time I had ever explained the facts to people by myself. I asked myself: “Do I dare to go?” My answer was, “Yes, I can do it.” I thought about the vow I had made before I came to this world and the historic tasks bestowed on me.
I sent righteous thoughts on my way to the markets and then I recited Lunyu. After that, I recited Master's poem "Stirred by Reflection,” then I sang "Ode to the Lotus." When I sang the lyrics, “Following Master to fulfill our grand vows,” tears rolled down my cheeks. I am very fortunate to have such a great Master and such a grand mission. I could feel a strong energy field surrounding me, which gave me courage.
After I arrived at the market, I asked Master to please show me who had a predestined relation with me. After talking to one person, he quit the CCP. I also told him to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He replied, “Yes, I will remember.” I helped eight people quit the CCP that morning and gave them informational materials.
I rode my electric motorbike home at around 10 o'clock in the evening. While riding, I could suddenly see Master's poem in my mind,
“When they return with full bounty,
The multitude of gods shall receive them.” (“Stirred by Reflection”)
I knew Master used it to encourage me, so He showed me those two lines of the poem. I was moved and promised Master that I would diligently continue. Even if I helped many people to quit the CCP, I would not develop an attachment of zealotry; if only a few people would quit on any one day I would not be discouraged. Master’s Fa will forever motivate me to move diligently forward.
3. Believing in Master and the Fa without doubts
Some people in the markets thanked me several times after they understood the truth and quit the CCP. Some wanted to give me vegetables as a way to thank me, but I said, “Please don’t thank me. I will be very happy to know that you are saved. If you really want to thank someone, please thank our Master.”
A watermelon seller told me earnestly, “Come here quickly and give me an amulet (1). I have waited for you for two seasons.” I asked, “Didn’t I give you one last time?” He said, “I'd like another one for my family.” As soon as I took out the amulets, many people rushed over to me to get one for themselves. I said, “Don’t worry. I’ll give you one if you want one. After you get this amulet you should all quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Only after that can you be protected for sure.” They all said, “Yes, I want to quit, and my name is…” In a very short time, more than two dozen people had quit the CCP.
Master said in “Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital,”
“People with predestined relationships and those who can be saved can be made to--made to by Master's Law Bodies, righteous gods, or the immense field that Dafa has formed in the world--appear right before you in any of a range of settings, providing them with a chance to learn the truth. But you have to carry it out, and it doesn't work if you're not out there doing things.”
Master has arranged everything for us for this mission, so we only need to go to different places and speak with people.
I have also met with difficult situations. A vegetable peddler yelled at me when I told him the facts, “I used to be a policeman. The CCP gave me several hundred yuan a year.” When I tried again to talk to him, he stopped me. Then I said, “If you don’t believe, let’s stop here. It will be bad for you if you influence other people and keep them from learning the truth.” I was completely unafraid. I met a man who threatened me, saying, “If I had a cell phone I would call the police to arrest you.” I told him, “Police should arrest bad people, not good ones.” Those individuals could not stop me from rescuing more people.
My granddaughter often comes to my residence on long weekends. She has one Friday off every four weeks. I cook something good for her. One Friday morning I wanted to stay home and cook something for her and my son’s family. But suddenly I asked myself, “Isn’t that an excuse? Her mother can make dinner for them. In addition, I’ve got everything ready for them.” A while later I told myself again not to go. While the struggle between righteousness and evil was going on, I heard in my head, “Ok, I’ll go!” I knew Master had encouraged me to go and tell people the facts that day.
I asked my daughter-in-law to cook dinner that night. Then I left on my bike and went out to rescue sentient beings. My family supports my efforts because they see that I have done a good job with this undertaking. I know that our merciful Master is with me and protects me, and I must diligently do the three things.
Master said in “Fa Teaching at the 2009 Greater New York International Fa Conference,”
“Only if one can persevere and continually forge ahead does it amount to true diligence. It's easy to talk about, but putting it into action is tremendously difficult. That is why it's said that always cultivating as if you were just starting will surely result in achieving your ultimate rank.”
Note: (1) Amulets – In China, practitioners sometimes "clarify the truth" by giving people something small to wear or cherish, bearing a few words reminding them of the goodness of Dafa.
