(Minghui.org) I’m 79 years old and I’ve practiced Falun Dafa for 28 years. I’d like to tell you about two experiences I had while clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa to people.

Another practitioner and I went out to talk to people about Falun Dafa. Things went smoothly and the people we talked to agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I was very happy until I suddenly saw a middle-aged man standing in front of me. I realized that I was about to meet with a test of some sort. He was tall, dark and masculine looking, and he looked fierce. I hesitated and wondered whether I should approach him. I was afraid that he might not be receptive and would yell at me. So I stood there.

However, I suddenly felt a strong force pushing me forward, and at the same time, I remembered my mission and responsibility as a Dafa practitioner. I walked up to him and greeted him kindly, then we chatted. He turned out to be an honest and cheerful person. I told him the facts about Dafa and the auspicious Dafa phrases: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He happily accepted everything I said. I explained the significance of withdrawing from the CCP and he readily agreed to do it with a brilliant smile. He seemed like a different person. He thanked me before we parted.

I almost ignored him because I had a negative reaction to his appearance. Looking inward, I clearly saw my fear, selfishness and desire to protect myself. I also judged people by their appearance. I had a presumptuous mindset and treated some people differently. I still have so many attachments after I’ve cultivated for years. Now they are exposed, one after another. This incident alerted me to treasure the opportunities to save sentient beings!

Another day, I was sitting on a bench at the subway platform waiting for a practitioner, when a woman sat down next to me and greeted me warmly. We chatted happily until I brought up the topic of quitting the CCP. Her attitude immediately changed. She furiously cursed at me. She tried to attract the attention of passersby and called for them to interject their opinion into our conversation. I was composed and didn’t argue with her. Instead, I silently sent righteous thoughts to disintegrate the evil factors behind her, hoping she could be saved.

The practitioner arrived and advised me to just walk away from the woman. I decided to stay. I regarded what happened as a good thing and as a test. I told myself to confront my situation and remove my attachments, such as being afraid of losing face, wanting to hear good words, and disliking criticism, in addition to my attachments of competitiveness and fear.

I also thought of the bystanders who could be saved. Actually no one seemed to agree with her. Some shook their heads and walked away, and some even stood up for me! Seeing that no one showed much interest, she left. A man immediately sat down next to me. I knew that he came to hear the truth and so I quickly told him the facts about Falun Dafa and the auspicious Dafa phrases. He accepted everything. After I mentioned the CCP’s history and the current movement of withdrawing from it, he said he was a member of the CCP, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers and urged me to help him quit all of them. We also chatted about traditional Chinese culture before saying goodbye.

These two incidents exposed a lot of my attachments and showed that I lag behind other practitioners. I must strive to catch up and keep reminding myself of our mission of saving people through clarifying the truth of Dafa. I will cherish my opportunities to improve arranged by Master and do the three things well. I will strive to meet Master’s requirements and fulfill my mission.

Thank you, Master, for your compassionate saving grace.
