(Clearwisdom.net) I have had lots of experiences and understandings over the past several years of cultivation practice. I have thought about writing about them and sharing with fellow practitioners. But since my education level is low, I wasn't able to do it. I am now making an oral account and a fellow practitioner is transcribing it for me in the hope of exchanging our understandings based on the Fa and keeping up with the Fa-rectification process.
1. Reviewing Clarifying the Truth and Advising People to Withdraw from the Three Chinese Communist OrganizationsI mainly took the form of visiting my relatives and friends to clarify the truth and advise people to withdraw from the three CCP organizations. I tried to not miss even one predestined person. I bore sentient beings in my mind and tried to save all predestined people. Despite the distance and hardship, despite the bad weather, I never stopped trying to save sentient beings. Over the past year, I've successfully advised over a thousand people to withdraw from the three organizations.
One time I took a taxi to my auntie's home, which is in another county. Since we hadn't visited each other for many years, I couldn't find her home. I tried for a long time but still couldn't find it. I then asked Master for help. After a while, I saw a person and asked him about my auntie's home. He then told me her place. I got to my auntie's home and told her about my purpose of the visit. One of her children didn't know the truth about Dafa and said many offensive words. He looked vicious without any kindness. I then silently sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil factors behind him. After a while, I asked them again to quit the CCP. They then agreed and all four people in the family withdrew from the three organizations.
One time downtown, I came across two acquaintances. One was the leader of the court, the other one was the leader of the police department. I then clarified the truth to them by saying, "Dafa teaches people to be good and helps people to regain health and fitness. Now gods want to destroy the CCP. Only by withdrawing from the CCP can one be safe." They said that they had already lost confidence in the CCP a long time back. It's just so good to withdraw from it. They thus willingly signed and withdrew from the CCP.
One time I went to the countryside to advise people to withdraw from the CCP. Some people from the village where my relatives lived withdrew from the CCP. On the way home, I missed the bus. It happened that an acquaintance came across me and invited me to visit his home. I thought, "Now that he has invited me, I will go. There may be people who are waiting for me to save them." As expected, after I clarified the truth at their home, about seven more people, including both his family members and some visitors withdrew from the CCP.
I realized that when clarifying the truth, the first thing we should do is be righteous and peaceful, and we should restrain our human thoughts. The second thing is that we need to ask Master for strength when encountering difficulties, and send forth righteous thoughts more often. Master is benevolent and doesn't want to leave behind even a single predestined person. As a practitioner, I shouldn't miss any chance to clarify the truth and save sentient beings.
2. Harmonizing the Family WellBefore I practiced Dafa, I had a weak constitution and suffered from many serious diseases. At the beginning, my husband was strongly against my practice. After a period of time, all my diseases disappeared and my bad temper also changed. At the sight of my change, my husband was completely convinced, and soon he took the path of cultivation too. There were more than ten people in our family. I told them the goodness of Dafa and advised them to withdraw from the CCP. One third of them took the path of cultivation. The rest all withdrew from the CCP.
I realized that we need to treat our family members the same as we treat other people. We shouldn't be moved by the sentimental attachments for family and should treat each of them with the heart of benevolence. I always considered them first when saying or doing things. When some interference happened while I was clarifying the truth to them or was persuading them to withdraw from the CCP, I silently sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference from me and my family coming from the factors in other dimensions. I then rationally and peacefully explained to them to remove the hurdle in their minds. The interference would disappear without any trace. So, if only we have strong righteous thoughts and keep a benevolent heart at all times (the premise is that we should learn the Fa well), no matter what we encounter, everything can be solved.
3. My Thinking on the Crimes of the Secret Death CampsWhen the first secret death camp in China was just disclosed, I thought, "Aren't there Master's fashen behind every Dafa disciple? Doesn't Master know our every thought?" Through studying the Fa, reading the Minghui Weekly, and sharing with fellow practitioners, I improved my understanding. As a practitioner, it is an issue of whether we can firmly believe in Master and the Fa. Thinking and acting with righteous thoughts is the premise of believing in Master and the Fa, saving sentient beings on a large scale, and rescuing fellow practitioners.
"When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide"
("The Master-Disciple Bond" from Hong Yin II, provisional translation subject to improvement)
After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, I was arrested many times. I always firmly believed in Master and the Fa. I only thought about going out to save sentient beings, and thought that prison was not the place I should stay. I asked Master for strength and sent forth righteous thoughts frequently to eliminate all the evil factors that imprisoned me and persecuted me. I was quickly set free many times. I sent righteous thoughts while I was delivering truth-clarifying materials. When I found a police car following me, I sent righteous thoughts to let the car break down. The car really broke down. When there were people around, I sent forth righteous thoughts to freeze them or to let them leave. It worked. Sometimes there were many people standing on the street. I then stood in the alley and sent forth righteous thoughts for a while. Nobody would then see me delivering the truth-clarifying materials. After I was released from the police department in 2005, there were always people or police cars tailing me. No matter how the situation looked, I always steadfastly did the three things as Master told us, and took the path Master arranged for me. Under Master's benevolent protection, the evil couldn't find a chance.
The Sujiatun incident must be caused by problems of practitioners in the prisons (it was also the main reason) and the practitioners outside also didn't do well as a whole. The problems of our practitioners outside were first, that we didn't achieve the standard as a whole of "Your things are my things and my things are your things," and didn't form one body. Second, the evil hadn't been eliminated completely and the people who could be saved hadn't learned the truth about Dafa. So, as long as we improve from the Fa, believe in Master and the Fa, and perform with righteous thoughts, no matter how difficult the situation seems to be, we can break through it.
Dafa disciples are moving toward godhood and will be great enlightened beings in the future. We definitely can't be interfered with by gangsters such as Jiang and Luo. I think that the disclosure of the first secret death camp was the new cosmic change and was the new advancement of the Fa-rectification. Master taught in the Fa,
"Without human action happening under cosmic changes, such conditions would not have been brought to ordinary human society, and neither would they be called cosmic changes." (Zhuan Falun)
I think that we, as Dafa disciples, should keep up with the process of the Fa-rectification as diligently as possible and not allow ourselves to be interfered with by criminals such as Jiang and Luo. Let's make it clear that it was the postnatally formed human notions and attachments that caused interference, and not our true selves. Let's follow the new cosmic change, move as Master tells us to, and harmonize everything as Master directs us. If we study the Fa and cultivate ourselves well, everything will come from the Fa. Be sure not to doubt Dafa or be disrespectful to Master. We must do well the things that a Dafa disciple should do.
