Here is a question that I have been pondering for quite some time: Our overseas practitioners have been clarifying the truth of Falun Gong to mainland Chinese using various approaches, and many people in China have been exposed to the materials that we have prepared for them. Why then are there still so many people who don't know the truth? Personally I feel that we need to be a little more thorough in clarifying the truth. It's not enough to count only the number of people we reach or areas that we cover. We also need to emphasize the quality of the truth-clarifying materials. Chinese people are quite sophisticated in their thinking, and the factors that affect their positive understanding of Falun Dafa might not be the same from person to person. We need to effectively target the hindrance that each individual may uniquely face. Master says in "The Issue of Treating Illness" in Lecture Seven of Zhuan Falun, "When one develops gong in high-level cultivation, what one generates is the high-energy matter, which can indeed heal, repress, and control an illness, but it cannot remove the root cause. Therefore, to really heal an illness and completely cure it requires supernormal abilities. There is a specific supernormal ability for curing every illness."
I have had this experience over and over again: It may take me a long time, perhaps a whole night, to clarify the truth to someone. However, once he has become fully aware of the truth, he will clarify the truth to those he knows. It seems that I have spent so much time on a single person, but as a matter of fact, this is very effective, as everyday people who have learned the truth will in turn help spread the truth. This is more or less similar to the early days when Falun Dafa was widely spread through word of mouth and from the heart of one individual to the next. The word spread very quickly.
This is my individual experience, and I look forward to receiving any kind comments and corrections from fellow practitioners.
