"It's Strange, So Many People Help You Push the Tricycle"
After receiving a phone call from a fellow practitioner who asked me to deliver printed truth clarifying materials to another fellow practitioner's home, I loaded a tricycle with the material and started my trip. The trip was long and the load weighted down the tricycle to a point where the tires were pressed nearly flat. I realized that I should inflate the tire. I rode the tricycle to the foot of a long and steep incline and got off. I thought of asking a fellow practitioner for help, but then I thought that I should do it myself for the sake of security and for the safety of other fellow practitioners; I needed to keep a low profile during the delivery. I thought in my mind, "Compassionate Master, I am your disciple and I am having difficulties. Please help me. I am doing the most righteous and the best thing. Please let some divine beings give me a hand!"
I then started to climb the incline. At that moment, a gentleman in his 50's walked up from behind pushing his bicycle. He looked at me and than started to help me push the tricycle, with a gentle smile on his face. I was very thankful to Master in my mind and kept thanking the gentleman. The gentleman smiled and joked with me.
When the tricycle climbed more than half way up the hill, a young man in his 30s also came to help, the gentleman smiled and said to me: "It's strange, so many people are helping you push the tricycle. You must have good fortune."
I smiled and said to them: "This is predestined and was probably arranged in the previous several lives. I thank you for your help." I thought in my mind, "This is a good opportunity to clarify the truth to them, as they have a predestined relationship with me. But I need to be careful about the material." I kept riding the tricycle hard, climbing up the incline. They kept helping me until I reached the top. I took a rest and then started riding the tricycle forward.
When I rode to a long dirt road with a rough surface and a slope, I thought in my mind, "I am a Dafa practitioner and I am doing the best thing. Master, please strengthen me." I felt right away that someone was pushing me, and I rode the tricycle easily, as if the tricycle were not loaded. Usually when I took this road, I felt exhausted even if I was riding an empty tricycle, but this time even with a full load, I did not feel tired at all going up the slope!
After I arrived at the fellow practitioner's home, I told the practitioner about what had happened during the trip. We were both quite happy, but we also felt regret that I lost the opportunity to tell them the facts, although it was for protecting the truth clarification material. We quietly asked Master in our minds to help them learn the truth soon, to meet Dafa practitioners again and to be saved.
Clarify the Truth to the People Around Us to Awaken Them
I moved to a new work post. Looking at the people around me, there were many familiar faces, and I felt grateful. Since they knew me already, they should have an easier time listening to me. They are a group of lives waiting to be saved, and I also immediately felt the significance of my responsibility.
One evening, it was very hot in the room and 4 to 5 workers were enjoying the cool air outside. I turned the topic of conversation to Falun Gong. Looking at their attitude and what they heard about the staged Tiananmen self-immolation incident, I felt that they were deceived very deeply and I felt sad for them in my heart. I caught the chance and explained the truth to them, and led them to think about the questionable points in the TV broadcasts. Noticing their different facial expressions, I gained confidence. I waited for other opportunities to continue the conversation. I felt that they were very simple with kindness rooted deeply in them. Through telling them the facts, some of them quickly withdrew from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers and some withdrew sometime later. I also brought two copies of The Real Story of Jiang Zemin to my work place for them to read, as well as the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party. After they read these books, they developed a better understanding about the Chinese Communist Party and my efforts achieved a much better effect. I talked to them differently according to their thoughts, and gradually some of them withdrew from the CCP organizations.
The dispatcher at my work unit was a CCP member. After listening to me talking about the truth several times, the workers said that if I first helped the dispatcher to withdraw from the CCP, then I could help them withdraw too. The dispatcher only smiled without saying anything. Several days later, we talked about the withdrawals again. Others asked me if the dispatcher had withdrawn from the CCP. I said I had not withdrawn for him and he needed to agree to it first. The dispatcher looked at me with surprise and said, "Haven't you helped me withdraw from the CCP?" Looking at his disappointed expression, I felt that I did not do well in this aspect and I had not paid enough attention. Later I found him and explained the truth to him in detail. He seriously told me, "I don't have a good impression of the CCP, and my joining the CCP was handled by some other people. From my status in the unit I cannot say in front of others that I want to withdraw from the CCP, but in my mind I know clearly good from bad." The second day when I saw him at the work unit, I told him that I had sent his name to the web site abroad, to withdraw from the CCP. He smiled and nodded.
One worker is my neighbor. When I told him the facts, he told me not to do so anymore. He told me that their director had held a meeting for them and asked them not to bring Falun Gong pamphlets and flyers to the work place. The employee would be fired if he were found bringing in these materials, and he was scared. He also told me not to talk around everyone and that it was not easy to find a job. Hearing what he had told me, I didn't feel very good. My thought karma kept reflecting in my mind. I was upset and I did not feel that I wanted to tell him the facts anymore. But I knew clearly that the thought did not come from me, and it was the thought karma's interference. I did not acknowledge it. It was okay that he did not withdraw from the CCP, the Communist Youth League or the Young Pioneers at that time, but it is my responsibility to save people. As I kept on clarifying the truth, the workers around me withdrew from the CCP, the Youth League and the Young Pioneers one after another. One evening, my neighbor came to my work unit. I sent forth righteous thoughts and explained the truth to him again. He then told me to go ahead and withdraw for him.
During my truth clarifying work, some workers withdrew soon after they heard the truth, while others were slower. I kept on explaining to them the truth according to their understanding and gave them time to think things over. Each time they heard the truth, they change a little. What I have done was very limited and the progress of my truth clarification was very slow. After each time I explained the truth, I looked inside for and found shortcomings. After I read Master's new scripture "The Closer to the End, the More Diligent You Should Be", I felt ashamed. Master's words awakened me. I will seize the time and awaken the people around me so that they can have a good future.
