(Minghui.org) Last night, dozens of Hong Kong practitioners shared together. Some talked about the experience of helping people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Some talked about their experience of validating the Fa and establishing truth-clarification sites in the US.
1. Taiwan Practitioners Come to Hong Kong to Validate the Fa, Not to Be Persecuted
A Taiwanese practitioner shared her experience. Once she cleared the bad substance the evil used to cover our Dafa banners. The police later arrested her and confiscated her ID. She couldn't go back to Taiwan. She had to check in with the police every day. More shockingly, we heard that the Hong Kong police used the same methods as the mainland Chinese police: they separated the Taiwanese practitioner from Hong Kong local practitioners. They stripped her naked twice to search her. They refused to find a translator for her in order to weaken her will. Luckily the Taiwanese practitioner had strong righteous thoughts and wasn't intimidated.
2. Hong Kong Practitioners Share the Responsibility to Protect Taiwanese Practitioners
When I heard about the Taiwanese practitioner being taken away by the police, I discovered that many Hong Kong practitioners had simply watched. I want to ask: “Hong Kong practitioners, what were you doing? What were you thinking? Were you numb or did you think it was justified? Did you think about protecting a fellow practitioner?”
The evil is rampant in Hong Kong. Taiwanese practitioners have come to support us. The evil can still harm people because Hong Kong practitioners have not elevated as one body. If Hong Kong practitioners can do well, maybe Taiwanese practitioners won't be harmed.
One day at our truth-clarification site, a Taiwanese practitioner clarified the truth to a member of the Hong Kong Youth Care Association Limited (HKYCA). The person took pictures of the practitioner with his cell phone. The kind practitioner held down his cell phone a few times, hoping that he would listen to her.
The HKYCA person told me later, “In the past, I would have dropped my cell phone and made her pay for the cell phone damage. I would have told her to simply talk to me and not to touch my cell phone.” This has reminded me that, when Taiwanese practitioners come, Hong Kong practitioners are responsible for sharing information about the current situation in Hong Kong and about how to protect oneself to avoid any unnecessary harm or loss.
3. Taiwanese Practitioners Who Come to Validate the Fa in Hong Kong Are Remarkable
I heard from practitioners in the Hong Kong Falun Dafa Association: “Set up more truth-clarification sites. Taiwanese practitioners can come support us.” It has been half a year since the evil started interfering with truth-clarification sites at tourist locations in Hong Kong. I don't know how many Taiwanese practitioners have come. I personally know of several dozen. Some practitioners help us distribute newspapers while they are in Hong Kong.
Taiwanese practitioners didn't grow up in the Party culture. They are quite kind. It's very beneficial to share with them. Every time I see Taiwanese practitioners who have come to support Hong Kong, I want to say to them from the bottom of my heart: “Thank you. You have been working hard!”
Taiwanese practitioners suggested playing Dafa music at the truth-clarification tourist sites. The field was very calm when I played Dafa music. Taiwanese practitioners suggested I add a TV to clarify the truth. We added a TV. Taiwanese practitioners asked me how we should persuade people in Hong Kong to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I offered one approach: “Welcome to Hong Kong! We wish you well.” If they responded, then we clarified the truth to them and told them that we had good news to share. If they didn't react but simply started walking faster, we asked them to remember “Falun Dafa is good. Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Taiwanese practitioners followed this approach and were happy for the sentient beings who made the right decision.
Taiwanese practitioners have come to Hong Kong to validate the Fa and save the sentient beings of their paradises. They don't have to follow Hong Kong practitioners on everything. When they find areas that need improvement, they can point it out kindly and offer alternatives so that we can elevate together.
I recall that a Taiwanese practitioner went straight to the truth-clarification site after his flight landed. Another practitioner encountered sickness karma on the night he arrived in Hong Kong but went to the site the first thing the next morning. I believe that all Taiwanese practitioners who have come to Hong Kong at this critical time face big tests—maybe not the test of life and death, but at least the test of fear. Therefore, they are remarkable.
4. “If a Buddha waved his hand once, all of humankind’s diseases could be wiped out” (Chapter 2, Zhuan Falun)
I have been through a lot of xinxing tests in the past three months. Sometimes I didn't know when I could go out or go home. Sometimes I got unexpected phone calls during Fa study or the exercises. Sometimes I went to support the site or help send righteous thoughts for fellow practitioners who were arrested or went to the court to rescue practitioners. Still, we had to hold meetings to share at night.
It pained my heart that the evil was slandering Master and Dafa. Yet some practitioners couldn't agree with each other and complained about each other face-to-face or behind each others' backs. When I didn't know how to handle some tribulations, I often held my tears back at the truth-clarification sites but cried hard after I got home.
I'm grateful for Master's compassion and protection. I know I haven't cultivated well, so the evil could take advantage of me. Sometimes I was frustrated and thought, “Master said 'If a Buddha waved his hand once, all of humankind’s diseases could be wiped out.' (Zhuan Falun) Why can't so many Hong Kong Dafa disciples clean out this little bit of evil?
5. Take a Step Back
On October 22, bad people interfered with my truth-clarification site. On the third night, they occupied the site overnight. On the morning of the 24th, when practitioners came to start the day, they saw that the HKYCA had already occupied the site.
Practitioners decisively moved to the other side of the street and arranged the display boards. Other practitioners who came later opened up a new truth-clarification site on the next street. The evil couldn't keep up with how quickly we reacted.
Then, ordinary people went to scold the HKYCA for occupying our spot. Some said that the HKYCA was the CCP. Some wanted to beat them up and called them stupid. Police saw our endurance and came to greet us. Practitioners were magnificent in clarifying the truth to the police. They clearly told the police that there was no other way. If you help Falun Gong, our Master will protect you.
6. Master's Hints
After the truth-clarification sites were interfered with, some practitioners asked us to stand by and take pictures. The camcorder wasn't at home, so I asked my family member to help me recharge the camera battery. He told me, “You don't need it. You don't have time for it.” I thought it was a hint from Master.
I was the first one to discover that the evil had occupied the truth-clarification site. I took out my cell phone and took pictures for several minutes. After I got home, I saw there was only one shot from far away stored in my camera. After that, I no longer took pictures.
I tell all the practitioners who have come to support us, “The other party will take your picture, but we have no need to be afraid or to argue with them.”
7. The Evil Cannot Do Bad Deeds in This Field
In the beginning, the evil played high-volume broadcasts, constantly took pictures of practitioners, and distributed evil newspapers at truth-clarification sites. When we were saving people, they were slandering Dafa and Master. Practitioners maintained strong righteous thoughts and intensified eliminating the evil factors behind these people. They quickly lost their momentum.
8. Look Inward Unconditionally
I have experienced miracles when looking inward.
One day, a member of the HKYCA stood next to me and distributed bad newspapers. I asked myself, “Isn't my field pure? How come she dares to stand next to me? What have I done wrong today?” Before I could figure out what I had done wrong, an ordinary person came and asked me, “Is she from the other side (meaning HKYCA)?” I nodded. He then said to the HKYCA person, “I tell you, Falun Gong is good. If my hands were not full now, I would beat you up.” The person left.
Once the HKYCA's tweeter was very loud and noisy. I told myself to remain calm. A fellow practitioner asked me to call the police and not to be afraid of trouble. I looked inward and found out that I was indeed afraid of trouble—there would be a lot of hassle if the police were called. When I was looking inward, an ordinary person called the police. The police came. The tweeter was taken down. The noise was gone.
9. Maintain the State of a Cultivator; Clarify the Truth with Wisdom
The evil banner had been cut apart. The police came to tell me about it and asked, “When will the retaliations end?” I smiled, “Cultivators don't hate anybody. I didn't do that. I don't know who did. However, the banners are harming people. The person who cut that banner cleared away the poison. That person will be a hero when the truth is revealed.”
An ordinary person came by and asked, “Why would anyone destroy other people's stuff? You look so nice. I know it wasn't you. It might be someone else in your group.” I said, “Do you know what was written on that banner? 'Taiwan Falun Gong, Get Out of Hong Kong.' What have they done to disturb anyone? Just because there are a lot of Falun Gong practitioners here from Taiwan? Even pedestrians didn't like the banner. Everyone knew that it was the CCP. There are a lot of righteous people in Hong Kong. We all can tell right from wrong, right? Just like those 400,000 people who made a mark on June 4th because their family members were killed.” The person agreed with me.
When I clarify the truth, I walk up and down the street. A HKYCA member said, “Don't you dare come over on my side again.” I said, “This is Hong Kong. When did this become your side? I have been walking up and down this street for the past several years.”
10. Change Notions and Seize the Time to Save Sentient Beings
A Taiwanese practitioner said that she had been in Hong Kong for three months and that the situation hadn't changed and might even have deteriorated. I was shocked to hear that.
A practitioner said her site had not helped any Chinese quit the CCP for a long time. I visited two of them. I saw that the paper for people to sign to quit the CCP looked quite old and only had a few names on. At another site in Hong Kong, a practitioner focused on taking pictures of evil people instead of saving sentient beings. Time is very precious. Let's elevate on the Fa and seize the time to save people!

Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
