(Minghui.org) Greetings, compassionate Master. Greetings, fellow practitioners.
I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998, and I am now 72 years old. I run a materials production center, which keeps me very busy. I used to only have time to help a few practitioners submit the names of people who agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates after they learned the facts about Dafa. The number of names back then was relatively small, and the workload was fairly easy to manage.
Over the past three years, I have taken on more of this work and realized it is also a significant test of my character. Today, I would like to share with Master and fellow practitioners the cultivation insights I have gained from these experiences.
Shouldering Responsibilities
The persecution of Falun Dafa is rampant in my area and employs vicious methods. Practitioners’ homes are frequently broken into and ransacked. Practitioners are harassed, arrested, and sued on the basis of fabricated evidence. The internet blockade prevents people from accessing websites outside of China and from learning what is happening in the rest of the world. With the internet closely monitored at all times, it becomes more difficult for us to post the names of people who are quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Just as we began to be concerned about how to handle the situation, a practitioner from another town arrived with more than 100 withdrawal names and asked for our help posting them because he couldn’t access the website. Although I was already anxious about how we would resolve the issue, I couldn’t refuse to help him since he had traveled so far. I was determined to find a solution.
I entered all the names into the computer, saved them to a USB drive, and gave it to a practitioner with the expertise to bypass the internet blockade and upload them. Soon after, the practitioner from another town returned with another batch of names, which I handled the same way.
Because I always accepted the withdrawal lists, practitioners assumed I was posting the names. Over time, I received more and more names, and my workload became very heavy. I didn’t mind the work, but it meant extra work for the practitioner who was submitting them, and added to his already busy schedule. I felt bad about constantly burdening him.
Eventually, I regretted I had asked the technical practitioner to submit the names for me in the first place. I wasn’t sure whether to keep involving him. Sometimes, when my human thoughts surfaced, I really wanted to pass the work to someone else. But my righteous thoughts told me I couldn’t shirk the responsibility because, as a Falun Dafa disciple, this work was a crucial part of saving people and was my responsibility. Thus, I resolved to break through the internet blockade myself.
Miraculously, shortly after I had this thought, the technical practitioner encouraged me to install the software to bypass the internet blockade. I did, and it worked very well, safely, and fast.
Submitting Names Quickly and Accurately
I entered Chinese characters very slowly using older software that read handwritten text and converted it into Chinese characters. Initially, when I received stacks of paper of various sizes, with names written in different colors and sizes, sometimes with many names crowded on both sides of palm-sized sheets, I could see that practitioners had worked diligently. Therefore, I uploaded the information with great care and attention.
If some information was incomplete or contained errors, I cross-checked the entries repeatedly, even to the point that my head spun, and tears streamed down my face. When my vision began to blur, I covered one eye, squinted at the screen with the other, then alternated between eyes, which gave me a terrible headache. Many times, a human notion surfaced that I was getting too old to keep doing this.
When I became impatient or my fear of hassles arose, I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the fear. These human notions were stubborn. I eliminated them for a moment, but they soon returned. This pattern repeated, causing me great distress.
Studying the Fa always eliminated my impatience and fear of difficulty. Things would turn around, and my eyes would return to normal. I realized one day that for practitioners, all human notions were demonic interference and not part of our true selves. If I rejected them, they could not interfere with me.
I always posted the withdrawal names on the website quickly and accurately the day I received them, and didn’t delay posting them to the next day. Sometimes, if I received a lot of lists in one day, I split them into five or six batches. I input one batch, posted it, and immediately logged off. Then I started the next batch. I uploaded each batch correctly and accurately.
I also checked the posting results frequently. After verifying the postings, I immediately deleted the copy from my computer, emptied the trash, and burned the paper copies. This reduced the time I was connected to the internet, which was safer, left no traces or loopholes, and was a rational, wise approach.
Additionally, I paid close attention to the authenticity of the pseudonyms assigned to the people withdrawing. A practitioner told me that Ling (a pseudonym to protect her identity) had not clearly explained to people why they needed to quit the CCP. Instead, she focused more on getting people to agree to quit and on collecting more names. I told a coordinating practitioner about this, who subsequently visited Ling and shared the information with her. Ling acknowledged her error and promised to do better.
I am deeply grateful to Master Li for protecting me for over 20 years, providing me with the very best on my cultivation path, and enabling me to operate the materials production center smoothly to this day. Moving forward, I will cultivate more diligently to fulfill my prehistoric vow, and follow Master back to my true home.
Thank you, compassionate Master.
