The “Zero-Out” Campaign Is an Opportunity to Save People

(Minghui.org) The Political and Legal Affairs Committee initiated the “Zero-Out” campaign, sending people to harass Falun Dafa practitioners door-to-door. They questioned everyone, pressured them to sign statements to renounce Falun Dafa, and threatened to hand them over to the police if they refused to cooperate.

The campaign caused disturbance everywhere. Oftentimes, the harassment was followed by abduction. Some practitioners were sent to brainwashing centers, and some were sentenced to prison.

Facing the imminent ordeal, I told myself I must let go of life and death and clarify the facts with compassion. I told myself to cherish the opportunity and take the responsibility to save those who would come for me. I understood these people were most pitiful because they were creating karma for themselves, but did not realize it.

I recently dreamed that someone came to my home to take me to a brainwashing class. I clarified the truth about the persecution to them, and they understood. They were reluctant to leave, saying they wanted to hear more.

I think the dream was a heads-up that people would show up at my door, and I needed to seize the opportunity to clarify the truth to them. If I could let go of selfishness and only thought of saving people, then Master Li (Dafa’s founder) would help me fulfill my wish.

A friend called me ahead of the visit and cautioned me to be careful with what I said. I told him that I had come this far in cultivation, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance had taken root in my heart. I told him not to worry because I would open my heart—in fact, I was worried about the perpetrators. The other party seemed more worried and cautioned me that doing so would have serious consequences.

I was not moved. I believed that if the visitors and I were destined to meet, I should seize the opportunity to help them position themselves correctly and survive the pandemic safely. I should not be concerned about myself. I was here to assist Master Li to save people, and I needed to fulfill my mission.

A group of people came to my door. They stressed the seriousness of the “Zero-Out” campaign and told me that if I failed to cooperate I would be strictly monitored and my life would be harsh.

I talked about Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, about cultivating body and mind, about physical and mental health and happiness, and about the greatest blessing in life of being free of disease and pain.

I said that everyone wants to be healthy amid the pandemic and that there is a shortcut right in front of them, which is to respect Falun Dafa because Heaven will protect good people.

I said if Jiang Zemin (the former CCP head who initiated the persecution) had not suppressed Falun Dafa, more people would have practiced, and more people would have been physically and mentally healthy. This would be a great thing for China but now that such a good thing that benefits the country and people is being suppressed as a bad thing, the consequences for those who persecute Falun Dafa will naturally be bad.

I told them the pandemic did not come for no reason. That our ancestors had a saying: “If humankind does not do something about it, heaven will.”

They stressed the seriousness of the “Zero-Out” campaign and said that Falun Dafa was disturbing society, that persuading people to quit the CCP organizations was against the CCP, and so on.

I said, “Why do practitioners advise people to quit the Party and its youth organizations? Jiang Zemin said he did not believe the Communist Party could not defeat Falun Dafa. The Communist Party wants to fight with the Buddha Fa, can Heaven allow it?

“As more and more people began practicing Falun Dafa a peaceful atmosphere of cultivation was everywhere in China, and people’s morality was being revived, how great that was! But after more than 20 years, the CCP is still persecuting good people, who can stop Heaven from destroying the CCP?

“Like a terminally ill cancer patient, if you are one of the cells, you will naturally be scourged. Therefore, we advise people to quit the Party to save their lives. Falun Dafa practitioners have such selflessness and compassion. We risk our lives and suffer in order to get people out of danger. Don’t be confused about the truth.”

They were silent. I continued, “Falun Dafa practitioners understand the truth of the universe. We have long known there would be a plague. They hope everyone can make it through the calamity. We cannot bear to watch people suffering and not alert them to why it’s happening.

“You came for me today and it seems an ordeal for me, but in fact, you are harming yourselves. Please cherish this opportunity. Everything mankind is doing is being watched by Heaven. Every person is positioning themselves. If you believe what I say, you will be safe.

“I know you are under pressure and want to finish your assignment. But if I indeed do what you say, it will harm you. Heaven is just. The most important thing at the moment is for you to save yourselves. Fame and fortune are fleeting, but your eternal life is not.”

I continued, “The world is facing a pandemic. All I want is for everyone to be safe and healthy. Of course, I cannot force you to change, it is up to you to understand and decide for yourselves to choose good vs. evil and right vs. wrong. If you harm a practitioner, the consequences are serious and can really hurt you.”

They said, “We have no choice. If you do not take a stand, someone else will come for you, in fact, all you need to say is “I will comply with the law.”

I asked, “Are you saying I did not comply with the law before? It is impossible for me to say something against my heart. What’s in my mind is completely different from what’s in yours. I am anxious to see you pass the great tribulation safely and have a healthy and happy future.”

They left.

Another group came and told me that if my attitude did not change, big trouble was waiting for me. I felt very calm. I knew Master was watching over me, and as long as I conducted myself with no omission in my xinxing, everything is under Master’s control. It is not up to them to decide my fate.

After a few more rounds of visits, I clarified the truth as usual and gave them a copy of my cultivation experience to pass on to their superiors. I waited for their superiors to come for me as well so I could continue to clarify the truth. As long as I treated them with kindness and I sincerely had their best interests at heart, they could perceive the power of compassion.

After a few more visits, we developed some mutual understanding and tolerance, and things passed in a calm manner.

Looking back, I deeply felt that practitioners are taking the lead role in this great drama on earth. We must treat all the problems with compassion and the wish to save people.

We must not be caught up in our personal interests. If we remain altruistic we can pass one hurdle after another.
