(Clearwisdom.net) My husband and I lost our jobs many years ago, so we made our income by doing some small business. Since 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong, I have been illegally arrested twice, and my husband has been held in the forced labor camp twice. Moreover, we had to leave our home to avoid further persecution. We were so impoverished that the prison guard even cursed at us, “You guys are so poor; how ridiculous it is that you are still practicing.”
In 2008, before the Beijing Olympics, police threatened that they were going to detain all practitioners in a brainwashing center. What's worse, our business booth was taken away. I said to myself, “As a practitioner, I should not argue with him, should I?” Then I returned home. On my way home, I thought that I had clarified the truth about Falun Gong to all the people that I encountered. Maybe it was time for me to go to another place to save sentient beings. I should follow Master's arrangements.
During the following days, I spent lots of time studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts. We seldom went out due to our fear. One day, my husband said, “We should not always stay at home. We should go out to save sentient beings.”
Right after we stepped out of our door, two persons were following us. Then we came to a busy area, where we met our boss. We talked with him about Falun Gong and the persecution, and helped him quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. My husband kept sending forth righteous thoughts and noticed that the two people following us were standing there.
We continued going out and talked to people about the beauty of Dafa everyday. One day, we encountered some vendors from other areas. We bought their products and talked with them about Falun Gong. They all agreed, except that two people were too busy to listen to us. The other day, they came to our town again and we helped them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. We became friends. They were really happy when we asked them if we could help them sell products. Moreover, they agreed that we could pay for the products after we sell them. They said, “We trust you.”
In that way, we started to do business again. When people came to buy our products, we took the opportunity to tell them about Dafa. We tried not to miss anyone who had a predestined relationship, even the vendors around us. Most people agreed that Falun Dafa is good and agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Our financial situation also improved.
When it became colder, we could not sell our products anymore. However, our children gave us another opportunity to sell different products that could only be sold in winter. We helped our children to buy and sell products so that we could meet many vendors, which gave us the opportunity to talk to everyone we encountered about Falun Gong and help them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Shortly thereafter, many vendors said, “How miraculous! After you came, our business became better and better.” Sometimes, when we did not bring enough cash, the vendor would say, “I will lend some to you.” Others said, “They are really good people. I guarantee that there will not be any problem.” Some vendors even allow us to buy 100,000 production on credit. They said, “We know who you are. You do not have to sign any agreement.”
We have two special customers who are policemen. After we clarified the truth about Falun Gong, they promised that they would never engage in the persecution of Falun Gong. Within a few years, we had helped countless people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Some of them thanked us sincerely, and some asked us to take care. Some were even moved to tears. They even recommended their families and friends to come to buy our products and listen to the facts of Falun Gong.
In the process of saving sentient beings, we tried to keep our path righteous according to the Fa. When we had many human attachments, there would be fewer people coming to buy the products. After looking inward and sending forth righteous thoughts, people started coming again. There were also some times when we were reported by someone who did not know the facts about Falun Gong. We asked Master for help and we were safe in each instance.
We are no longer impoverished and have negated the old forces' financial persecution. We are also able to donate some money to help make truth-clarification materials and help fellow practitioners. We bought a new house and a nice car and tried to dress well. Our relatives have all witnessed the beauty of Dafa and know that we were rewarded after practicing Falun Gong.
Due to my limited cultivation level, I still have many shortcomings. Please point out anything inappropriate.
