(Minghui.org) Greetings, benevolent Master! Greetings fellow practitioners!
I am 75 years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa for 17 years. Today I’d like to share my humble experiences in making phone calls to China to clarify the truth.
The phone call program I have been involved in targets the police, procuratorate, justice departments and hospitals. The purpose is to systematically offer facts of the persecution, awaken their conscience, and help create a relatively safer environment for fellow practitioners in China.
If the police no longer arrested practitioners, more of them would be able to help the general public awaken and understand Falun Dafa and the persecution. The effects would be immense.
This program is easy to use, as the practitioners don't have to speak. Mainly, what they do is to press the button to play the audio recordings. Of course, sometimes one can talk to the recipient when needed.
The content of the messages is regularly updated, and is the result of the great effort and righteous thoughts of many practitioners. Each word, musical note, and pronunciation all contain strong energy that can suffocate any interference.
The caller holds pure and righteous thoughts, puts their heart into action, and creates a strong energy field. It powerfully shocks the evil and awakens people’s conscience.
The program is so simple yet so powerful, and it is all the arrangement of Master and what’s needed for the Fa-rectification. It is also the manifestation of the power of Dafa.
In order to save sentient beings, Dafa practitioners have initiated a lot of projects. This program suits me well. This is a blessed cultivation opportunity given to me by Master. I made up my mind to keep up with the Fa-rectification process and do what I need to do well in solid steps.
I was initially very passionate; no difficulty could slow me down. I put serious efforts into learning and worked very hard. I didn’t know much about computers, nor could I type on the keyboard. Starting from scratch, I became proficient in all the steps that need to be taken in running the program.
Every afternoon, I would spend several hours at the computer. I tried my best in making every phone call to each of my assignments. As long as the recipient didn't hang up, I would play the recorded messages again and again.
On many occasions, the recipient wouldn’t answer the call or listen to the voice recording. Some phone numbers were invalid; some phones were switched off; some were busy. I treated them all as illusions.
If we didn’t give up, and tried ringing again the next day, some invalid numbers might work, and the recipient would listen to our messages. Some recipients hung up straight away, and then I would ring again. When they hung up, I just called them again. After I kept calling, they would listen, and would even keep listening for over ten minutes.
There were some who might pick up the phone but would put it aside, and purposely waste our time and effort. I wasn't angry about this, and was not concerned even if they didn’t listen.
Even the ringtone can shock the evil in other dimensions, let alone the powerful messages in the recording! Our efforts for awakening sentient beings aren't in vain.
Accordingly, no matter what situation I encountered, I dealt with it with pure and righteous thoughts, and never got discouraged or bored. Sometimes I would also meet people who awakened immediately after they listened to the recording. This has happened to recipients in many places in China.
I once called a police station in Hainan Province, and played several different voice messages for 15 minutes. I wanted to know if he was truly listening, so I asked, “Are you listening?”
He said, “I am. I’m very scared.” I asked him why.
He answered, “I am a corrupted official.”
“You have heard so many messages. You now know what you should do,” I told him.
“We don’t have many Falun Gong practitioners here. I didn’t arrest them, but I have taken money which is not mine, and I’m at a crossroads. What shall I do?”
I told him, “You need to make a wise decision with no hesitation, quit all the affiliated organizations of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Only then will you be able to avoid the karmic retribution the CCP is facing and you will safeguard your life.”
“Does it really work?”
“Trust me. You separate yourself from the CCP spiritually once you quit it. You will then be blessed and protected by the divine. Your not having arrested any Falun Gong practitioners indicates that you are a relatively kind person. From now on, you should protect practitioners well, and expose those crimes in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners to the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG). Your life will then have a turnaround. Have you got it?”
He said, “Yes, I got it.”
I then created an alias Ping An (peace and safe) for him. He said, “This is good. Safety is exactly what I want.”
“Then you also need to memorize these words: ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ These are the verses that will safeguard you and give you peace. Don’t be corrupt or do bad deeds anymore. Do you understand?”
He said, “I will follow your advice. Thank you!”
In another case, I called a hospital office in Qingdao City, and played the message about the facts of forced organ harvesting. I only called them once, and they listened to the full message of 4 minutes and 46 seconds.
I wanted to know if they were listening, and asked, “My friend, are you listening?” The recipients were a young man and a young lady. They answered, “The CCP is terribly bad. It has made our life so miserable. We’d like to have your help, and also want to get out of China.”
I said, “Since you have heard the messages about the truth, you have a good option. Treat Falun Gong practitioners nicely, get far away from the CCP, and quit all its affiliated organizations, then you will have a bright future.” They quit the CCP and thus two lives were saved.
Each day I would make quite a few phone calls to play recorded messages, then provide my record of recipients' feedback to the team. Other practitioners would follow up with them with a conversation, and help them quit the CCP.
The program not only shocked the evil very powerfully, but also laid a good foundation for helping people quit the CCP through conversations with other practitioners.
After a period of time, the passion and excitement I had in the beginning faded. I started to feel tired and lazy. I felt very tired all the time. Going to the Chinese Embassy in the morning, coming back at lunch time, and if no practitioner could give me a lift home, it would be almost 2 p.m. when I got back.
It seemed I didn’t have any more energy to work on this project. Sometimes I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I sometimes didn’t realize that the recipient had already hung up the phone. Such fatigue was very hard to dispel. It also wore down my willpower.
A casual attitude arose in me. I thought, there was nothing I could do if they didn’t want to listen. I had made at least two phone calls today; I had done my homework. I need to hurriedly go have a rest, or get onto other tasks.
I knew that such a state was not right. This slacking off was not from my true self, but was interference and must be eliminated. I needed to seriously look within, and study the Fa well.
Master said,
“The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts.” (“Drive Out Interference” in Essentials for Further Advancement)
When looking within, I found that I had the attachment to comfort, wanting to rest more, and I had the attachment of completing tasks. Though this project is easy, every phone call is a fierce battle in other dimensions.
The evil is not willing to be dissolved voluntarily. They are eyeing me and creating trouble to interfere with me by taking advantage of my attachments. Aren't the old forces the happiest when I have an incorrect cultivation state?
Master said in “Fa Teaching Given at the 2010 New York Fa Conference,”
“Be more like a Dafa disciple and earnestly, humbly, and solidly make efforts to carry out well what you are supposed to do. With any project or any task, if you decide not to do it, then don’t do it; and if you do decide to do it, then you definitely have to do it well and carry it through to the end. ”
“If in your work your thoughts can be righteous and you can keep in mind that you are a cultivator, never forgetting your mission and responsibility, and bring to completion that portion of things that you are supposed to handle, then you are establishing mighty virtue, that is your process of cultivation, and that is your process of fulfilling your historic mission as a Dafa disciple.”
I was awakened and empowered through Fa study, and it made me persistent in this project every day. I know that the work of saving sentient beings not only needs to be done, but also needs to be done well with good quality.
Accordingly, I paid a lot of attention in sending forth righteous thoughts to cleanse my dimensional field, which enabled me not to feel sleepy or be interfered with, so as to maintain a good mental state.
Once I would start, along with my fellow practitioners on the team, I would maintain the strong righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil elements which prevented the sentient beings from being awakened. As my spirits were buoyed, and my attitude became purer and more righteous, more people would listen to our voice messages. This is for sure.
Teamwork and cooperation as one body is essential for doing this project well. Without the practitioners who work very hard in providing technical support, it would be hard to smoothly carry out this project.
Whenever I have computer problems, the technical support practitioners are always able to help. For example, when my computer needed upgrades, they would bring a ready-to-use computer to my home, while they worked on mine.
One day in summer, a fellow practitioner was perspiring a lot from doing the support work. Whenever the truth-clarifying materials and software needed updating, they always got the job done immediately.
The efforts of fellow practitioners have provided me with great support. They are our strong backup, enabling us to do a good job. I very much admire their selfless efforts, and am deeply moved by them. This inspires me to keep clarifying the truth through this project.
My being able to persist in calling China for over a year is the honor and skill bestowed upon me by our great Master. I will not disappoint our Master, and I am determined to study the Fa more, and study the Fa better.
I will keep looking within and letting go of attachments, firmly catching up with the Fa rectification. I will be persistent in clarifying the truth through the manual radio broadcasting, until the CCP is dissolved and the persecution has ended.
Thank you, Master!Thank you, fellow practitioners!
