(Minghui.org) I was sentenced to eight years in prison in 1999, the year the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa.
After I was released, I realized I had missed so much of the Fa-rectification and tried to catch up. I studied and recited the Fa diligently, and I realized how important it is to tell people the facts about Dafa. I began to tell people about Dafa face to face and advise them to quit the CCP and its affiliates.
I had no feeling in my legs after being tortured in prison, and I thought I could not walk. However, when I went out to clarify the truth} about Dafa, I found I could, indeed, walk, even though I could not bend my legs, which was of no importance.
I could keep up with the other practitioners and walk for up to four hours without any problem. Once back home, my legs were numb again, and it was difficult to move around.
This illustrates a point: As long as I want people to hear the facts about Dafa, Master can do everything for me.
Last summer, I went to a class reunion. I thought that this was a great opportunity to tell people the facts about Dafa, and I asked other practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts for me.
At the luncheon, I waited at the restaurant for my former classmates to arrive. I talked to every one of them and helped more than 30 quit the CCP. Over 20 were CCP members, and some were government officials, such as department heads, district heads, township heads, and school principals. One was the head of a Political and Legal Affairs Committee.
I feel that I am catching up with the progress of Fa-rectification. I have advised everyone I come across to quit the CCP for years. When I was just released from prison, many relatives and friends came to see me. Within three days, I had helped all of my family members quit the CCP.
I often ask vendors and customers in markets to quit the CCP. I visit all the markets, small or big, near the town where I live. Whenever I meet people in parks, apartment houses, or at bus stops, I tell them the facts about Dafa.
I give Dafa {{amulets to the people I talk to and tell them to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” whenever they face danger. I also tell them that, if they quit the CCP, they may also keep their families safe.
Of course, I have met all kinds of people. Most of them thank me, but some mock or curse me. Some threaten to report me to the police. Whoever it is, I try my best to tell them about Dafa and not let them commit a crime against this cultivation practice.
Last Mid-Autumn Festival, I met a middle-aged man. When he realized what I was going to say to him, he started to spout CCP propaganda. He was deeply poisoned by the CCP.
But I wanted to save him, so continued to talk to him. “You see, almost everyone stays at home these days to celebrate the holiday,” I said. “Only Falun Dafa practitioners are still out and about to tell people about Dafa.” I kept talking and noticed his expression start to change. He finally agreed to quit the CCP and thanked me as he left.
I had a dream in early October 2013. I was taking an exam and was given two blank sheets of paper as big as a newspaper. I wrote down many names of people I had helped quit the CCP on the first sheet. Master saw my paper and encouraged me: “The answer on this paper is pretty good.”
Master said, “Our truth-clarification sites are, in fact, the front line—the front line for clarifying the truth.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2013 Western U.S. Fa Conference”).
I understand that mainland China is the true front line. More than a billion people are waiting to be told the facts about Dafa. If we do not give up our human notions and do not clarify the truth about Dafa, we will regret it.
I recalled the dream and realized that the exam site was the front line. Yet I had only filled three quarters of the first exam paper and put nothing on the second. I was far behind what I should have done.
I was determined to do better with what Master asks of his practitioners and to catch up with the Fa-rectification process.
I relegated more time to study the Fa, recite Zhuan Falun,and send forth righteous thoughts. I went out to clarify the truth about Dafa every other day; now I do it every day. It would bother me if I missed a day. Now I advise more people than before to quit the CCP—at least 10 a day and more than 30 on some days.
Many practitioners do very well in their cultivation. When studying the Fa, they sit with double crossed legs and hold the Dafa book with both hands.
Two practitioners have cooperated for years to clarify the truth about Dafa. They start by talking about the Shen Yun performances and work up to quitting the CCP. They often help police officers, plainclothes officers, or spies quit the CCP.
Three other practitioners distribute Dafa truth-clarification materials and clarify the truth. Sometimes, they can help up to 80 people quit the CCP in a day. One practitioner, who is 82, goes out to clarify the truth daily and advises many people to quit the CCP.
When they have a problem talking to people, I try to help them. Almost every day I help new practitioners with clarifying the truth about Dafa face-to-face. Since last year, I began accompanying small groups of practitioners daily, until they could get rid of their fear.
I think that, as a Dafa practitioner, no matter how many things we have done in the Fa-rectification in the past, we cannot slow down. However, there are still many who fear going out to tell people the facts.
Master said,
“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. Was it not exactly for this moment that your life came here?” (“Fa Teaching on World Falun Dafa Day”)
We must treasure this opportunity Master has given us. It comes only once in thousands of years.
