(Minghui.org) I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner who lives in France. I have a Chinese colleague, who is the only Chinese person I’m in contact with in my locale. We have mentioned the topic of Falun Dafa several times during our conversations.

My colleague told me that she heard about Falun Dafa before she came here. She was living in China when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution in 1999. She had a positive attitude towards Falun Dafa and knew the terrible situation faced by the Falun Dafa practitioners in China.

I have told her about the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP. She said she heard it was a formal way of quitting communist organizations, but I didn’t know if she actually quit. I felt that something was blocking me from helping her quit.

I realized it must be my fear that was blocking me, but why was I afraid? Looking within, I found that I was worried she would laugh at me, decline to quit, or change her opinion about me. I was also worried that I wouldn’t be able to persuade her, and that she would accuse me of muddying the soil with politics. All these concerns indicated that I hadn’t realized the importance of quitting the communist organizations, and that I lacked faith. As a Falun Dafa practitioner, I shouldn’t be restricted by my fear.

I also hadn’t gained a good understanding about the role of the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP. I thought it didn’t have too much to do with me because other practitioners had been working on getting people to quit. Looking within more deeply, I found myself only interested in certain projects to save sentient beings. I was covering my attachment to comfort and selfishness under the excuse of having no time.

My colleague was going through the initial probation period at work. She would be relocated to a place far away if she passed probation, so time was ticking for me to get her to quit the CCP. She told me that she joined the Communist Young Pioneers in school because that’s what every child did. I asked myself what kind of future she would have if I failed to help her quit due to my attachments. Would I be able to keep my promise to clarify the truth to her?

But I didn’t know how to start. I talked with practitioners about how to help my colleague. I then made a sincere wish to help her quit the Young Pioneers.

I was driving home one evening when I saw her waiting for a bus. I realized that Master Li, Falun Dafa’s founder, had arranged this opportunity for me. I offered to give her a ride. It was a short one, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all possible interference.

I told her that I was worried about her. She looked surprised and concerned, and then said she would find out how to quit the Young Pioneers online. I said, “I can help you!” She looked touched, “Really? You can do it?” I told her she could use her real name or a nickname. She choose a nickname for herself.

We arrived at her home shortly and said our goodbyes. As I turned my car around, she stood there, smiling at me. It was dark, but I could tell that she radiated with joy. I was moved to tears. Thank you, Master, for giving me this perfect opportunity and for giving her a bright future.

Thanks to great Master’s compassion and patience, I was able to eventually fulfill my vow after I sincerely wished to eliminate my attachments. I’m so grateful for my fellow practitioners’ encouragement!
