(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. I began clarifying the truth in 2005, and have never slacked off since.
When I first began to tell others about Dafa there were no booklets or stickers available. Therefore, I wrote “Falun Dafa is good” on pieces of paper, and used carbon paper to copy multiple truth-clarification materials published on the Minghui website. I attached them to poles outside after dark. I did not have much experience at this so I often felt afraid and would rush. My heart beat fast, and any noise, even a dog barking, would frighten me.
After the Minghui website published truth-clarification booklets, I began to distribute them to people at the entrance of our village. There was interference, and sometimes for my safety, I had to hide on my way to distributing the booklets. I might only distribute thirty booklets in a night.
There were only four practitioners in my village at that time. It was difficult for us to obtain the materials. Due to safety concerns, a practitioner buried the materials by the river in the village for me to pick up. I then distributed them to other practitioners. I could only acquire one copy of Master’s (founder and teacher of Falun Dafa) new lectures and we took turns reading it. When I received Master’s new scriptures, I would copy them secretly late at night when the family slept. It could take me a whole night to finish. Those nights were precious.
With Master’s compassionate help, the four of us practitioners in the village studied the Fa together, and covered the whole village with truth-clarification materials. All the villagers soon knew “Falun Dafa is good” and about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its organizations. The banner, “Falun Dafa is good” was posted on the village wall and stayed there intact for several years.
One year, the police came to raid my house. They confiscated all my Dafa books and a few hundred yuan in cash. The news quickly spread in my village and many villagers came to my home to help. Some elderly women circled me to protect me and questioned the police loudly, “This elderly woman is kind. Villagers often ask her for help and she never refuses anyone. Why would you arrest such a good person?” The police had no choice but to leave.
I am still touched when I remember that day. Those kind villagers understood the truth of Falun Dafa and chose a beautiful future for themselves by protecting me.
I had many more touching experiences while clarifying the truth when I later moved into the city.
Last winter, I gave a Dafa amulet to a passerby after I had explained the truth about Dafa to him. A woman passed us and I quickly gave her an amulet while I continued talking to the passerby. That woman read the amulet and returned to give me a hug. She agreed with Dafa; her behavior touched me. She did not speak but bowed to me with her hands held in a prayer pose as if she had been waiting for thousands of years just for this moment of receiving the amulet with the message, “Falun Dafa is good.”
When I first met a retired teacher in my subdivision, she was on crutches after suffering a stroke. I told her about Dafa, and she agreed to quit the CCP immediately. I told her to repeat, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and she would be blessed.
When we met again after more than a month, she came up and held my hands before I greeted her. She said emotionally, “You are right. Dafa is really wonderful!” She told me that soon after she quit the CCP, she did not need crutches any more to walk. She was not tired walking to the market and could carry her groceries home herself. She personally experienced the wonder of Dafa.
Later she would help me when I was clarifying the truth to other people. She would say, “Dafa is great. Look at me, I had many illnesses, and had to use crutches. Then I began to repeat, ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and all my illnesses were cured and I do not need crutches anymore.” The Dafa amulets were accepted and those people quit the CCP.
Once I met a woman at the market who did not have any cash on her. I gave her some money for a purchase and did not expect her to pay me back. I took the opportunity to tell her about Falun Dafa and she agreed with what I told her. A couple of months later, we ran into each other again. She was excited to see me and told me she wanted to pay me back. I was talking to another predestined person about Dafa at that time. She came up and talked to that person, “This is a nice lady. I was going to buy a pot one day, but forgot my money. She paid for it even though I did not know her. I have been looking for her ever since to pay her back. Where can you find such a nice person nowadays? Please listen to everything she says.”
After I moved to the city I didn’t rest for one day. Everyone knows me, from the residents in our community to the vendors in the market. Sometimes, I would ride my bike to clarify the truth to more people.
Although I am nearly eighty years old, I am healthy under Master’s protection. I can ride my bike to places seven miles away to clarify the truth. Some of the people I meet ask me for Dafa books; some give me a thumbs up and say I could live to be a thousand years old because I do good things; some wondered if I was paid to do these things. Once, a young police officer gave up arresting me after I clarified the truth to him. Regardless of the weather, I still go out every day. I am not concerned with the number of people I help quit the CCP, I just do it with a kind heart as Master arranges predestined people to come to me.
With the progress of the Fa rectification these years, I can feel the change in the surrounding environment and the people. More and more people are willing to accept the truth. I often meet people who quit the CCP and they greet me and remind me to take care. Some vendors in the market shout “Falun Dafa is good!” when I pass by their booths. I really feel that people who understand the truth are accepting Dafa.
I know I still need to improve and eliminate attachments, such as being impatient and meddlesome, gossiping with ordinary people, etc. I lack self-control and regret it afterward. I need to strengthen my righteous thoughts, be more diligent and save more people.
