(Minghui.org) I have been persecuted twice for telling people about Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) at the marketplace in 2015. When it was time to distribute Falun Dafa calendars this year, I knew I should still go to the marketplace to give them out. Although I had made up my mind to go there, I was still afraid of being arrested.
I asked Master to strengthen my righteous thoughts, to eliminate the evil elements around me, and to let me return home safely. Other practitioners and I then went to the market to distribute the calendars.
People were not very receptive when we were giving out the calendars. Some of them even cursed at us. It took us some time to go through one street.
We later learned that the police and the security manager stopped by the marketplace immediately after we left. I felt grateful for Master's protection.
Why did I always run into problems at this market? After looking within, I realized that I was not truly compassionate about saving sentient beings, especially the police officers. Furthermore, the fear of being persecuted may have attracted the evil to come after us.
I began to develop a strong hatred for the police after some of the practitioners in my area were persecuted and one of them also passed away as a result. Some of the practitioners also moved out of town to avoid being arrested.
I knew I should get rid of all of my attachments.
Master told us,
“Dafa disciples are Gods who have descended to the human world with the responsibility to assist Master in saving sentient beings, shouldering the responsibility of saving sentient beings in the lower realms.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2016 New York Fa Conference”)
I realized that police officers are also lives waiting to be saved, even though they may act differently.
I went to the marketplace with practitioners again. This time, I had the Fa in my mind and the thought to myself, “I have to save sentient beings without fear, but with a sense of responsibility to fulfill my mission.”
The weather was cold, and there were only a few people on the road in the beginning. I quietly sent righteous thoughts to disintegrate the evil in other dimensions and asked Master to bring predestined people to us to be saved.
People then began to rush over to get the Dafa calendars from us. We ran out of calendars in only a few minutes. Someone shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" Those who did not get the calendar said that I should have brought more. I told them we would come again next time.
