(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa on July 20, 2004. That was my last year in college. The college environment can be both open and isolating. If a person wants, he can stay in the "ivory tower" for several years without stepping off campus and live an easy and secluded life, with little opportunity to hear voices other than the mouthpieces of the wicked CCP. I often think that, if someone had clarified the facts about Falun Gong to me earlier, I would not have made the mistake of unknowingly assisting the evildoers to slander Dafa. So if I do not try my best to clarify the facts of Dafa now, my classmates and friends will be deceived by the propaganda like I used to be: they would be opposed to Dafa and be destroyed by the evil. This sense of mission helped me to get rid of fear. I started to clarify the truth to all the faculty and students at my college.
At the beginning, there were all kinds of pressures. My roommates thought I had "qigong psychosis," my best friends became alienated from me, and my boyfriend threatened to end our relationship. I still had lots of human attachments then. I had so much grief that every day I wanted to cry. Nevertheless, I did not give up. I thought that if I could change even a few of their opinions about Dafa, I would not have lived in vain. I made up my mind to maintain righteous thoughts and righteous actions, so that others would see that Dafa practitioners are good people who solidly cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Now, looking backing, I can see that when I clarified the truth, I had notions of competitiveness, showing off and attachments to doing things a certain way, which limited the results of my truth clarification.
With more Fa study and cultivation of xinxing, I gradually learned to look inward in conflicts. With more bad things eliminated as a result of cultivation, my roommates gradually accepted my doing the Falun Dafa exercises in the dormitory. They even reminded one another not to disturb me.
Once I handed a card with "Falun Dafa" written on it to a good friend and she refused it. Later, when I reflected on it, I realized that prior to handing her the card I was actually thinking, "She's such a stubborn person she might not accept it." Hadn't my notion strengthened the negative factors? I eliminated the bad thoughts in my mind with righteous thoughts and handed it to her the second time. She asked, "Does it work?" I replied firmly, "As long as you sincerely recite the words on the card, it will definitely do you good." She gladly accepted the card.
Through my truth clarification, my boyfriend's attitude changed. At first he was irrationally opposed, then he just left me alone. Eventually he could understand me, and then he began assisting me in truth clarification. I was very happy to see the people around me awaken to the truth and be offered an opportunity to be saved. I have experienced more and more of the mighty power of Dafa and Master's grand mercy.
Nonetheless, clarifying the truth just by myself cannot let all the students and faculty know the truth. Seeing that I am catching up with the requirements of Fa-rectification, my mother brought me truth clarification materials, about 100 copies each time. Practitioners attending college are usually not local, so they cannot go home often. If they do not know other local practitioners and their dorm rooms cannot be used as Falun Dafa materials distribution/manufacturing sites, obtaining truth clarification materials can be a problem. I suggest to fellow practitioners to please be aware of this and think of ways to supply college practitioners with truth clarification materials.
I found it very difficult to distribute materials at first. Once I distributed materials in a classroom building during the lunch break. Before afternoon classes started, however, the custodial staff thought that the truth clarification materials were ordinary advertising flyers and removed them all. There are always people in dormitory hallways, so it is challenging to leave truth clarification materials without being noticed. Even after the lights are out at night in the rooms, there are always students reading outside their rooms under the hallway lights.
For a while I felt it impossible to distribute materials without giving myself away. Soon I realized that my fear had formed an obstacle in my truth clarification. The dorms receive lots of advertising flyers daily and yet we rarely see the distributors. Even if we run into them we usually don't pay them any attention. What I am doing is offering people salvation. Why can't I do it in an open and noble way?
After I dug out this attachment, the situation was corrected. I distributed materials whenever I didn't have class. I first send forth righteous thoughts to cleanse myself, then the surrounding field. I would say to the dorms, "Sentient beings in the dorms, Dafa comes to save you. Nobody goes in or out during this period of time!" I also asked Master to strengthen the righteous field. This way, wherever I went, there was nobody in the hallway. This was a demonstration of the power of righteous thoughts and the wonders of Dafa.
Once someone in a dorm heard me placing materials and came out to question me, "What are you distributing? Where are you from?" I calmly replied, "This is Falun Dafa truth clarification material. Many kind-hearted people risk their lives to produce and distribute these to your door. Why do we want to do this? If you read it carefully you will understand. This will do you good your whole life!" She retuned to her room deep in thought, and I continued to distribute truth clarification materials.
My college has strict dorm regulations. Female students are not allowed to enter male dormitories. How could I distribute truth clarification materials to male students? I asked my boyfriend and he said he had never received any Dafa truth clarification materials in his dorm. He knew that Dafa is great, yet I could not ask a non-practitioner to do things that practitioners are supposed to do. After thinking it over, I decided to give it a try myself.
I said to Master in my heart, "Your disciple wants to offer salvation to male students, too. As a Dafa disciple, I do not acknowledge the old forces' arrangements. Master, please help me to offer salvation to those whose minds have been poisoned by the CCP propaganda." After sending forth righteous thoughts, I took dozens of truth clarification materials and openly entered the male dormitory. I thought that I'd clarify the facts if someone stopped me. The building supervisor took one look at me and did not say a word. Several male students walked past me in the hallway, as if they had not seen me. I posted the materials on every door with a calm mind. Suddenly a male classmate saw me and I became nervous. I then immediately realized that this should not be the thought of a Dafa disciple and was able to eliminate it. It turned out that my male classmate just said hi and left, as if meeting me on campus.
I then had a deep realization: with Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts and righteous actions, the old forces' arrangements are nothing and have no effect. The divine power Master endowed to Dafa disciples can act on different dimensions and can be used at will in our anti-persecution efforts and offering sentient beings salvation.
I safely finished distributing all the materials like that. Nobody noticed a girl was in the male dorm. My classmate who said hi to me did not mention to anyone later on that I had been to the male dorms.
When I was about to leave I heard a male student say excitedly, "Look, their room has the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Let's not tell them it's theirs and let's read it first!"
How eager beings are, waiting to know the truth and be offered salvation! As Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples we should not be fettered by everyday people's restrictions. Let's get rid of all of human notions and try our best to offer people salvation!
