The Power of Dafa Manifests When We Clarify the Truth from the Heart

(Minghui.org) Greetings, Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I came to Australia over a year ago. I have cherished the free cultivation environment, taken truth-clarification and saving people as my priority that warrants efforts without reservation. I assimilated into the Fa and treated myself as a firm particle. Hence, the power of Dafa often manifests to me. I will share some of my experiences in this article.

Doing the Three Things Well Offers a Solid Foundation

I enlightened that Fa study, exercises, and sending forth righteous thoughts go hand in hand. With adequate exercises, we have energy to send righteous thoughts and clarify the truth. Our righteous thoughts are strong when we do enough Fa study. Hence, our energy field will be strong, through which the power of Dafa can then manifest.

Sending righteous thoughts well is important to effectively eliminate all interference with saving sentient beings; this helps our truth-clarification. In the course of it, we may also enlighten to more understandings of the Fa, thus encouraging us to study the Fa better.

Letting Go of Self

Various human attachments may show up during truth-clarification: attachments to saving face, comfort, competitiveness, anger, elation, worries, and so on. I look inward as soon as they come up and eliminate them.

For example, I once saw two Chinese girls at my bus stop. I greeted them: “Hello, are you from Mainland China? I can help you quit Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for free; it will enable you to ensure safety and have good luck.” They didn’t respond, as if they didn’t hear anything. In fact, they didn’t even look at me.

I sent righteous thoughts to clear the field. I was very calm inside, as if nothing had happened. Two more young men and women came to the bus stop. I greeted them warmly and helped them quit the CCP. Then, I helped over 10 more people renounce their CCP organization memberships on my way home.

If I had felt awkward and lost face because of the refusal of the first two girls, other sentient beings I met after them would not have been able to quit the CCP. There are many examples like this.

I know that we Dafa disciples are saving people, doing the most righteous thing. Truth-clarification is similar to wandering about in some ways; we meet all kinds of people. As long as we see ourselves as practitioners, look inward swiftly, and let go of self, our pure thoughts can possess mountain-splitting power and reflect the power of Dafa.

Dafa Shows Divine Power When We Clarify the Truth from Our Hearts

I enlightened that we need to clarify the truth from the heart. It is not just to finish a task, and we are not doing this for Master. Truth-clarification is for saving people, saving those who are salvageable; it is to fulfill our prehistoric vows.

The process of Fa-rectification is going faster, and the opportunities left for us Dafa disciples are less and less. The old forces want to ruin sentient beings; we are racing against time and the old forces to save sentient beings.

Master said in “Fa Teaching on World Falun Dafa Day:”

“Your life came to this earth all for this. How could you not be diligent, and grow lax? This is your moment of destiny, the chance you have waited all eternity for! For however long it has been, you were all along preparing for this, suffering and shedding karma. Yet now, after all the hardship and pain, when you have made it to this day, somehow you have become not diligent. Isn’t that a shame?! Yet this juncture is critical, and if you are not diligent now, you’re done for.”

Whenever I think of Master’s Fa, I sense how immense Dafa is. Such a predestined opportunity to assist Master in Fa-rectification is beyond precious. A Dafa disciple’s mission is divine. My sense of responsibility and urgency to save sentient beings thus emerges; so do my benevolence and compassion.

I enlightened that clarifying the truth by heart is about having our benevolence and righteous thoughts. I often ask myself: Have I devoted myself to it? Have I always held sentient beings in my heart? Have I believed in Master and the Fa one hundred percent? Have I genuinely understood the Fa from the bottom of my heart?

As long as we let go of self, clarify the truth with our heart and compassion, the power of Dafa accompanies us all the time. For instance, I study at school in the morning, then clarify the truth in the afternoon, and go home late. I stay out for more than 10 hours daily, and haven’t rested for a single day in a month, but I never feel tired during truth-clarification.

Fellow practitioners commented that when I ran between tourists to give them informational materials, I looked like I was flying. I could also feel the help from Master; my body was very light. The strong energy field that surrounded me was still there even after I went home.

A young tourist couple in Chinatown once scolded me, “Are you Chinese? You bring humiliation to Chinese people. I feel ashamed for you!” I wasn’t moved and responded: “I am a true Chinese person who loves China. Loving China doesn’t mean loving the Party. The CCP isn't the same as China.”

I continued to sincerely clarify the truth to them. I felt sorry for their not knowing the truth, and sent righteous thoughts for them at the same time. When they came back, they stopped in front of our informational boards and read them. I didn’t interrupt their reading, and waited until they stopped.

I spoke to the man again, helped him to quit the CCP, and gave him some materials. He even asked me for more materials because I didn’t give him everything. He smiled.

After that, I asked the woman if she would also like to quit the Party. She felt sorry that she scolded me before, and she agreed to quit as well. I felt very happy for them for choosing a better future.

At another time, a young man wearing headphones saw us and tried to walk faster to avoid us. I followed him and while telling him the truth. I gave him an alias and offered to help him to quit the CCP, but he seemed very distant and did not respond.

As he was about to cross the street, I felt very anxious for him because he might have missed his only chance. I said to him, “Young man, I don’t want any money from you; I just hope that you can avoid disasters. I hope you will be safe. I won’t harm you; otherwise, the divine will punish me. I truly want what's good for you from my heart!”

He suddenly stopped, took off the headphones, turned around, bowed to me with his palms pressed together. He said: “Thank you! I quit, thank you!” Just like this, another sentient being was saved.

It was raining one day in the Gold Coast. I wanted to rest at home, but I had the thought that it was the peak travel season, and there were so many sentient beings waiting to be saved. Therefore, other practitioners and I drove more than an hour to the Gold Coast to clarify the truth.

A woman there was very cold to me. I asked her to quit the CCP, but she didn’t respond. I gave her a copy of the Epoch Times newspaper. She took it and held it above her head, using it as an umbrella while walking to the bus. I saw this and asked her to give the newspaper back.

She said, “Please give it to me.” She seemed to really need an umbrella. I quickly grabbed one from another practitioner, held her arm, and said to her: “Let’s go, I'll walk you there.”

I held the umbrella for her and talked to her: “This is not an ordinary newspaper; this is a newspaper that's able to save people. If you use it as an umbrella, I worry that you will accumulate karma. It’s not good for you. If it was an ordinary newspaper, I’d definitely give it to you.”

Then I further clarified the truth to her and gave her a name to quit the CCP with, she was very touched and said repeatedly, “I quit. I quit. We will all quit!”

That same day, a mother and daughter were very resistant to the truth. When I mentioned quitting the CCP, the mother shook her hands and said, “No, no.”

I felt very worried for them as they were about to leave the tourist site. I didn’t have time to get an umbrella, and said to them in the rain: “Look, it’s raining so hard. I could have stayed at home with my children. I am not here to get money from you or make money. I just want you and your daughter to be safe and happy, and not be harmed by bad people. I don’t have any bad intentions. I just want to let you know about the truth, and hope that you can both be safe and avoid any disaster in the future.”

The mother was moved. She raised her head and saw me getting wet in the rain. She quit the CCP and thanked me repeatedly.

Master says in “The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos” in Hong Yin II:

“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth, ushering in springRighteous thoughts can save the people in this world”

The benevolence of Dafa disciples can break through the icy lies of the CCP and melt the hearts of sentient beings, sweep away the fog inside them, and bring to them the beauty, warmth, brightness, and hope of Dafa.

Some people used their real names to quit the CCP. Some said, “Not the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, not even ten commentaries can tell all the evil things the CCP has done.”

Some people collected our materials behind the back of their tour guide who didn't understand the truth. Some give their thumbs up to practitioners; some guides helped us to hand out materials. Some people left their contact details with us and wanted to keep in touch with us, just like relatives. People are awakening to the truth.

I have helped almost 5,000 people to quit the CCP in the past year. I know that all of these results wouldn't be possible without the assistance of Master and the power of Dafa, and the cooperation of fellow practitioners.

Compared to the requirements of the Fa and Master's expectations, I still need to improve. In the very limited time that’s left, let’s work together, treasure the opportunity created by Master’s great suffering, be more diligent, save more sentient beings, don’t let down the mission of Dafa disciples of the Fa-rectification period, and return to our true home!

Thank you, great benevolent Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
