Master Li taught us:
"For a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, personal liberation is not the goal of cultivation: when you came, saving sentient beings was your great aspiration, and that is the responsibility and mission history has bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification. Thus great numbers of beings are to be saved by you." ("Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People", September 1, 2004.)
I have started to clarify the truth to people more diligently. In my surrounding environment, when I meet people, I take every opportunity to clarify the truth to them. I explained the truth to the people in my village, to my friends, to my old schoolmates and so on. I explained the truth to people in grocery markets, at fruit stands, in stores, and at get-togethers with friends. I told the truth everywhere I went and took advantage of nearly every opportunity I came across. Basically, every time I clarified the truth. it went smoothly and achieved a very good effect, with a success rate above 90%. This was accomplished because the power of Dafa and the mighty virtue of our Master. During this period, I distributed nearly 1000 amulets to people and several dozen people started practicing Falun Gong.
I started practicing Falun Gong in 1998. Before I started practicing, my health was not good. I had heart disease, gastric disease and leg pain. I had tinnitus all year long. I was not able to sleep through the night because of the tinnitus and sometimes I had to stay in bed for several days because of dizziness. I depended on taking medicine in order to get through the day. Each day passed as if it were a year and it was very difficult. Several days after I started practicing Falun Gong, Master purified my body. A month later, all my illnesses disappeared and I felt extremely relieved and comfortable. I regretted that I did not start practicing Falun Gong earlier.
During the past seven years since I started practicing Falun Gong, no matter how violent the evil people were, no matter what rumors they fabricated and no matter how desperately they persecuted Falun Gong, I persisted in practicing and in telling people that Falun Dafa is good. Falun Dafa teaches people to be kind and to be good and there is no reason to persecute Falun Gong. Since July 20, 1999, I have persistently been clarifying the truth. For more than seven years, I have not been sick, not even one time. I am very healthy, walk energetically, and I even forgot that I am 70 years old. When many of my old friends see me they ask me why I am so healthy and what I have been taking. I tell them that I do not take anything. It is because I practice Falun Gong.
I now am very healthy and from the bottom of my heart I am really grateful toward Dafa and Master Li. I firmly believe in Dafa and in Master Li. I always remember Master's teaching, "Advance Wholeheartedly, Enlighten Righteously:"
"Study Fa, no idling; changing in the process
Firmly believe, no budging; coming into fruition - lotus forms"
(Hong Yin 2 Provisional Translation)
I recite Lunyu when I go out for a walk and in 2001 and 2002, I read Zhuan Falun nearly 100 times.
Master Li told Dafa practitioners of the Fa-rectification period that we need to clarify the truth and save people. The more people we clarify the truth to, the better it is and the more people will be saved. This is the responsibility of Dafa practitioners. Therefore in 2005, I decided to go back to my hometown again in order to clarify the truth and tell people that they need to withdrawfrom the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers.
After I decided on and set the date to return to my hometown, I prepared the best presents - truth clarification materials - and set off. Before I left, I asked Master Li to strengthen me so that I could save all the predestined people I would meet. I repeatedly recited Master Li's words:
"Righteous thought, righteous action
Strive upward wholeheartedly, do not stop
Purge the ghosts that disrupt Fa
Treat all beings with kindness" ("Righteous God" from Hong Yin 2 ")
With Master's protection, my trip was smooth. I sent forth righteous thoughts at every station in order to eliminate the evil spirits in the other dimensions in the area, and to disintegrate all the factors of the evil communist spirit as well as other poisonous factors that were hindering the people from being saved, so that the people's understanding side could learn the truth as early as possible and be saved.
After I arrived at my hometown, I had a brief chat and greeted people. Then I started to clarify the truth to them. I first explained why they needed to learn the truth and why they needed to withdraw from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. After they understood, I then started to explain the truth in more detail. I went to several families including my children's aunts' families, their uncles' families and the families of friends. Each of the families has three generations and is therefore actually three small families. I also went to their relatives' families, neighbors, and all the families that I could make contact with. As a result, on the second day over 20 people gave me their names and wanted to withdraw from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. During a period of about a dozen days, I went to nine places and visited 30 families. A total of 76 people gave me their names for withdrawal from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. More than 130 people happily accepted the amulets, truth clarification materials, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and so on. There were also quite a lot of people who listened to the truth but were not able to obtain the truth clarification materials and the amulets. I will try to help them later. Among the people who withdrew from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers, the oldest one was an 80 year-old government official. Included were also company presidents, managers, Party secretaries, as well as college students, school teachers, students, village officials and many more.
There was an elderly woman who, after she listened to the truth, felt that Falun Gong is really good. She told me that she wanted to practice Falun Gong together with her husband. A 40-year-old man with multiple illnesses also told me that he wanted to practice Falun Gong. These two people mentioned that they did not have the Falun Gong books to read and to help them learn the movements of the exercises. I was very glad at the time. Even though there were difficulties, I knew I had to find a way to solve them. I then made some contacts and finally was able to obtain two Falun Gong books, Zhuan Falun and The Great Consummation Way of Falun Dafa. They were very happy and I also felt gratified.
On my trip home, I sat next to a young medical doctor on the bus. We chatted and I learned that she was going to take an exam for her profession. She listened and understood the truth clarification and she willingly accepted an amulet. She also gave me her name and asked me to help her to withdraw from the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. Before she got off the bus she said with a warm voice, "I hope we can meet again."
The Chinese New Year is coming. As Dafa practitioners we must take this good opportunity and clarify the truth and to tell people to withdraw from the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. Let's discard the attachment of fear and not miss this good opportunity.
The above are my personal experiences. Please point out any mistakes.
