(Clearwisdom.net) Last April, after I got into a taxi, I looked for a topic to start a conversation in order to clarify the truth to the taxi-driver. However, when we had only chatted a little, I found that the driver was interested only in talking about things related to money. At once, I felt that he was too worldly. Could he be saved? I did not say any more to him, but my mind was not at peace. Then I closed my eyes and began to look inside myself. Only then did I find that I was being very selfish. Even for such a sacred matter as clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings, I did not want to give up my notion of self. I used my own criteria to judge whether sentient beings should be saved, or were good or not. Doesn't this conform to the old forces' views? Don't they just use their own criteria and notions to interfere with the Fa-rectification? Thus they created the evil that blots out the sky and covers up the earth, which has ruined innumerable living things!
When I thought of this, I felt extremely ashamed. I sent forth righteous thoughts and thought silently in my heart: "Master, please give me wisdom and let me save predestined people." As soon as I thought this, the taxi passed by several expensive cars parked along the street. The driver mumbled, "They really have money." I smiled and said, "It's important whether or not those people got that money in an upright way."
As soon as I stopped talking, the driver immediately changed the topic to the corruption in the Communist Party, the destruction of China's traditional civilization during the Great Cultural Revolution, and so on. I could not help but sigh in emotion that the longer people live, the more they understand. Then I told the driver about the unfair persecution that Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners are suffering.
After I got out, I deeply felt that only when we abandon our notion of self and become dissolved into Dafa, can we effectively save all sentient beings.
