(Minghui.org) As a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, I have the mission of helping Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) to save the people around me, and I have been clarifying the truth for over 10 years. I’d like to share some of my experiences during this time. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
Clarifying the Truth in the County Town
I moved from the countryside to the county town in 2018. Sometimes I still go to the countryside with practitioners to clarify the truth, but most of the time I stay in the town. I’ve met people of different backgrounds and social status, including government workers. I greet them with a smile, and hand them truth-clarifying materials, including The Ultimate Goal of Communism. Most accept the materials, and some quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. When I see students, I tell them about the greatness of Falun Dafa, ask them to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and help them quit the Party.
In 2020, during the pandemic, I was anxious that so many people might lose their chance to be saved. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, I comforted my family so they wouldn’t worry about me when I went out to clarify the truth.
Very few people could be seen on the street, so I spoke to the guards of the community and told them the life-saving phases: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I didn’t have any fear and didn’t care about any surveillance cameras. I had the Fa in my mind, and since it’s always right to do what Master asks me to do, no one has the right to interfere. No matter how the evil manifests itself, I know it is all illusions. I have Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my mind, and my belief in Master and the Fa will never change. I always had truth-clarification materials in my handbag, and would clarify the truth and pass out materials to people I encountered.
A former practitioner lives on the same street as I do. She was imprisoned many years ago for practicing Falun Dafa. After she was released, she stopped practicing. Her husband died, and her mother-in-law, who had also practiced Falun Dafa, didn’t pass the test of sickness karma, and also died. The residents in this neighborhood misunderstood Dafa after seeing what happened to her family.
I moved to this area when I was over 70. Some people knew that I am a Dafa practitioner. They refused to greet me when I saw them on my way to clarify the truth every day, and they gossiped about me behind my back. I knew that I lived here for a reason: I was meant to save them. An elderly man usually muttered curses while passing by my front door. I wasn’t moved, and would still go out to clarify the truth. At the same time, I was considering how to save him. This man’s home was not far from mine. I could hear him singing a few lines from an opera every day. One day I didn’t hear him singing or cursing. I went out and saw him sitting in front of his home. I asked him, “Why don’t I hear you singing today?”
He said, “I feel sick. I can’t sing.”
I saw him again the next day, and asked, “Do you want a gourd with some truth messages on it?” He asked me to show him, so I took out a little gourd with beautiful yellow tassels. It was engraved with “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” on it.
He carefully inspected the gourd, and said repeatedly, “It’s so nice!”
I told him, “If you like it, you can have it. Read the words on it. It will bring you good luck.”
He said he understood. When I saw him the next time, he looked much better, and I learned that he had told another elderly man about our previous encounter. I gave the second man an amulet when I saw him. He took it and said, “I like it.”
I told him to read the two phrases on it, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He nodded happily.
Later, whenever the second man passed my front door, he always shouted, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” The residents in our neighborhood also changed their attitude toward me. One of them said, “She’s a Falun Dafa practitioner. Look, she is so healthy, her skin looks fair and clear. She looks so young, not like a woman in her 70s.”
One of my neighbors is in her 60s. She admired me a lot after seeing me going out every day, energetic and smiling. I clarified the truth to her, and told her that I suffered from various ailments before, but after practicing Falun Dafa I became healthy. I told her how great Dafa is, gave her an amulet and asked her to recite the two phrases: “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
She took the amulet, and said, “I’ll do what you said.” After some time, when I met her again, she said, “Thanks for the amulet. It’s helped me a lot. Without it I wouldn’t have been able to make it through this year.” She asked for another amulet for her husband.
Every day I greet people happily on the street, and show them the goodness of a Dafa practitioner. The residents in our neighborhood, who were once hostile to me, now respectfully call me “Elder Sister.” Their attitude toward me has become friendly and peaceful. More and more residents have understood the facts about Falun Dafa. When I give them truth-clarification materials, they are willing to accept them.
Visiting Surrounding Villages
I used to live in a village not far from the town, so I am familiar with the surrounding areas. Other practitioners and I rode bicycles to surrounding villages every day, and visited every house to clarify the truth, hand out materials, and help people quit the CCP. We also put up posters in public places. After more than 10 years, we have clarified the truth throughout the surrounding areas and some remote villages. Some people remembered us. They were happy to see us, and asked for truth-clarification materials. Some people were quick to understand the truth and quit the Party. Others needed more time, and needed careful, slow, and detailed explanations to understand the truth.
We also met people that didn’t want to listen. They would ridicule and curse us. I knew they were poisoned by the CCP’s propaganda and didn’t understand the truth about Dafa, but they were representatives of different cosmoses, and the sentient beings there needed to be saved. My mission is to help them identify the lies, distinguish right from wrong, and understand the truth. Therefore, no matter what kind of people I met, I would treat them with compassion, and no matter how they treated me or whatever disrespectful things they said to me, I would maintain a peaceful mind, and leave with a smile. I would think to myself: I will clarify the truth to you again if I have another opportunity. Your salvation is my greatest wish.
I met a person who wanted to report me to the police, saying that I was against the CCP. I said to him, “You should not report me. I do this for your sake. If you report me, you will create karma.” I added, “We should have freedom of belief in China. The Party has been persecuting good people with a belief, and even harvests the organs of living Falun Dafa practitioners for huge profits. You should not be deceived by the CCP’s lies.”
I told him why he should quit the Party. His fierce face gradually became peaceful while listening to me. I told him some more facts, and finally he understood and said, “I almost did a bad thing today. Please help me quit the Party. You can rest assured, and leave now.”
Master has protected me for so many years. He has made me constantly improve myself and remove my attachments in the process of saving people. I’ve gradually let go of attachments to fear, complaint, and grievance. No matter what kind of people I encountered, I always leave the kindness of a Dafa practitioner with them. Whether it’s hot summer or freezing winter, no matter how long the journey will take, or how difficult it is to climb mountain after mountain, I am not afraid of hardship. I’ll go wherever I’m needed to help Master save sentient beings. I am here to fulfill my prehistoric vow of assisting Master to rectify the Fa and save people.
