(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in Hong Kong who began the practice in 1997. I used to have many illnesses, but gradually became physically and mentally healthy when I adhered to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and improved my xinxing.
It has been 23 years since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Dafa. Through the years, I have persisted in clarifying the truth to people in all situations. I would like to share how I managed to reach out and tell them the facts about Dafa during the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the book the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published in 2004, I began to persuade people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I also encouraged many other practitioners to tell people the facts about the persecution. I hope more practitioners can fulfill their missions and assist Master Li in saving more sentient beings.
After the pandemic began, we couldn’t go to the scenic spots that Chinese tour groups usually stopped at. I then adjusted my way of handing out information. I knew many people continued to go the community centers to get free newspapers and saw this as an excellent opportunity to reach out. So I started distributing Minghui Weekly in the residential areas and community centers along the subway lines. I also gave people small handmade lotus flowers with blessing messages.
I spent nearly two years walking through subway stations, community centers, and markets in Hong Kong. I felt this was my mission, so I went out every day.
Master Li told us,
“Mercy can melt heaven and earth into springRighteous thought can save people of the world”(“Fa Rectifies the Cosmos,” Hong Yin Volume II)
I found that people could sense our sincerity and compassion if we truly wanted to save them from our hearts. Many people had a bad attitude at first, but their demeanor changed after I spoke with them. Not only did they understand the truth, many complimented me and agreed to quit the CCP.
A man who looked like he could be retired took a copy of Minghui Weekly and agreed to withdraw from the CCP. He then stood beside me and listened as I talked to other people about Dafa. After I finished handing out the newspapers, he said, “I haven’t seen you before. Will you come to this area in the future? There are many more people who haven’t seen your newspapers yet.” His enthusiasm and sincerity impressed me deeply.
Master said,
“... Dafa disciples are the sole hopefor people’s salvation...”(“The Only Hope,” Hong Yin III)
On my way home after delivering The Epoch Times newspapers, I saw a woman sitting on the roadside. I greeted her and gave her a copy of Minghui Weekly. She said she had read it. As she spoke, she opened her purse and asked me to look inside. It turned out she had a bunch of amulets. “I’ve kept every one I received and have more than two dozen of them.”
I asked her if she had ever joined the CCP or its youth organizations. She said she joined the Young Pioneers when she was a child. I then asked if she would like to quit her membership. She happily agreed and thanked me repeatedly.
She explained that she only came to this community once a week. I believe it was not a coincidence I met her that day. I didn’t usually talk to any one person for a long time as I wanted to reach out to as many people as I could. Most people were also in a rush and didn’t want to listen to me for very long.
I believe that Master Li gave ma a hint to not always go to one place but to branch out to more areas.
Master has taught us:
“Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with compassion—this is establishing the mighty virtue of an Enlightened Being.” (“Rationality,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)
After delivering The Epoch Times one day, I started distributing Minghui Weekly at a busy intersection. I carefully placed my cart on the side of the road so it wouldn’t block the sidewalk. Two young women in the nearby stores noticed what I was doing and said, “It’s fine to leave your cart there. We haven’t seen a Falun Dafa parade for a long time. Your parades were always so beautiful!”
I told them we couldn’t do parades because of the pandemic. I gave them a copy of Minghui Weekly and told them the facts about Dafa. I also asked them to remember the phrase: “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” Both of them readily agreed to withdraw from the CCP’s youth organizations.
I encountered many challenges when I distributed the newspapers during the pandemic, especially after the CCP imposed the National Security Law on Hong Kong to increase its suppression of people. Despite the increased risk to our safety, I went out every day and received a lot of encouragement from people.
A person once said to me, “We know you distribute these newspapers every day for our sake. You’ve worked hard!”
A person who looked well-educated took a copy of Minghui Weekly and agreed to withdraw from the CCP. He said, “You should be alert and stay safe. Watch out for the surveillance cameras that are everywhere.” Others also reminded me to stay safe so they would continue to have the opportunity to read our newspaper.”
A person who experienced the CCP’s persecution when he was a child remarked, “Your newspaper is so precious as it tells the truth. It’s so good!”
In some places, people even lined up and applauded when I arrived to hand out newspapers. Others would call out, “Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is good!” when they saw me coming. There were also people who wanted me to teach them how to do the Dafa exercises.
Many people expressed their respect for Falun Dafa after they learned that the Party propaganda is false. I use the Fa (Great Law) to guide me in Hong Kong’s chaotic environment and will continue to seize every moment to save sentient beings.
