(Minghui.org) After the coronavirus epidemic broke out in Wuhan, a practitioner in our area, Chen, became very worried about the people there. In order to save people, she used her mobile phone (registered with her real name) to send truthful information to people in the Wuhan region. She encouraged people to recite the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and told them that sincerely reciting the phrases could protect them in danger.
In fact, Chen has tried to send similar messages to people before the epidemic, but most of them were blocked by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) information censorship. However, this time, during the epidemic, all the messages went through. She asked me whether the information was no longer censored. I told her that the government's censorship had in fact been intensified since the outbreak.
Chen told me that after she heard about the outbreak, she could not sleep that night. She was sad and cried for those people who'd died without knowing the truth. She felt that everyone deserved a chance to hear the truth, so she downloaded pamphlets and printed and distributed them, as well as sent messages on her phone. “I just want to save more people,” Chen said.
I was touched by her pure heart. And I also see that when we truly have the heart to save people, it can help us disintegrate many things that are blocking us.
Master taught me:
“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
Another fellow practitioner has also been using her personal cellphone to make calls to people and persuade them to quit the Chinese Communist Party and related organizations. She never has any interference either.
There was a third practitioner who was arrested after being seen on a surveillance camera passing out information about Falun Dafa.
Master said:
“The old forces don't dare to oppose our clarifying the truth or saving sentient beings. What's key is to not let them take advantage of the gaps in your state of mind when you do things.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. II)
We have previously discussed the issue of whether to use our personal cellphone to clarify the truth, as it inevitably concerns our own safety.
From the three practitioners’ experiences, I realized that whether we use our personal phone or not, it all depends on our state of mind while clarifying the facts. If our heart is completely focused on saving sentient beings, it is feasible. But if we have fear and anxiety mixed in, it may spell trouble. We need to make the choice based on our cultivation state and mentality at the time.
I know that some practitioners strongly object to others using personal phones to clarify the truth. I can understand their concern for others' safety. But if the practitioner does have strong righteous thoughts and a pure heart, our blocking them from doing so might inadvertently interfere with their cultivation path as well.
