(Clearwisdom.net) As a Dafa disciple, a life created by Dafa, I know that I have a great responsibility to save sentient beings. I work together with fellow practitioners to seize every opportunity to clarify the truth and save the world's people. We often walk from street to street to take truth clarifying material to people's homes. I often have Dafa information in my pocket and give it to my colleagues at work. In my class, I tell students that "Truth, Benevolence, Forbearance" are good. Several times I gave truth clarifying material to the head of my work unit. When walking on the street, shopping in the store, or meeting people with a predestined relationship, I always tell them that Falun Dafa is good and then give them some Dafa material. When visiting friends, attending a wedding or a funeral, I would always bring truth-clarifying material with me .
Although I worked very hard on clarifying the truth, there were two families that I would not go visit. One was my brother-in-law's and the other was my sister's. My family had conflicts with the two families and stopped contacting them years ago. I remember when we used to live with my brother. He was treacherous, arrogant and often bullied me and my husband. I made up my mind that I would never deal with him again in my life. After obtaining the Fa, I often thought that a person like my brother had done a lot of evil things, and that he was the type of person that should be eliminated during Fa rectification. Furthermore, if I let him know that I practiced Falun Gong, I was afraid that he would go around and tell other people about it.
The relationship between me and my sister went bad because she did not do anything for our parents. She did not even attend their funeral. She also created a lot of rumors behind my back. What she did made me very sad. I did not want to go clarify the truth to her. I thought that even if I would like to go, she would not listen to what I had to say.
On February 15, 2005, Master published "Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World." I felt that Master was teaching the Fa directly to me and criticizing me using the article. I knew that I was wrong. In Fa rectification, Master does not count all the beings' mistakes, nor does he look at how many mistakes a person has made in history, but only looks at one's attitude toward Fa rectification. I was so attached to my personal losses, rights and wrongs in the human world, and personal grudges. As a human, I am in delusion and cannot understand the karmic relationships between people. During the process of Fa-validation and truth-clarifying, I did not cherish the sentient beings. I did not practice the 'benevolence' of a Dafa practitioner. If, because of my mistake, people could not be saved, I would be committing a huge crime. I then became determined to follow the Fa and make up for my losses.
After I eliminated my resentment towards my brother and my sister, Master made a very good arrangement and provided me the opportunity for truth clarification. One day, I heard that my sister's relative's daughter was going to marry my sister-in-law's grandson. The wedding was to be held soon after the announcement. I knew that this was a very good opportunity. It would be difficult for ordinary people to know the meaning, but I understand the mystery behind it. Master taught Dafa disciples in His Fa teaching, "Righteous Thoughts:" "Dafa disciples are now sentient beings' only, sole hope for salvation." People are longing to be saved and to become Dafa disciples. Master Li arranged for them to come to me.
In every encounter since then, I took the initiative to greet my sister first and show my care for her. Our relationship gradually recovered. I decided that I would give her and her family Dafa information.
I have gradually improved my relationship with my brother as well. Every time I see my brother and his wife, I always greet them first. Whenever I pass by their home, I go in and have a chat. Before the New Year of 2006, my brother's stepson was about to get married. I asked my son and daughter-in-law to help out at the wedding. My husband and I also attended the wedding and provided a gift. In the New Year, the newly married nephew and his wife came to visit us, and I also gave them a gift. This made my brother and his wife very pleased, and they invited me to visit them more often. During the Chinese New Year of 2007, I brought Dafa material and went to my brother's home. Face to face, I told them about the situation of Dafa spreading all around the world and about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) cruel persecution of Dafa practitioners since 1999. Recently it was exposed to the world that many concentration camps exist in China that are harvesting Dafa practitioners' organs for profit. I told them about the worldwide wave of people withdrawing from the CCP and about how heaven will eliminate the CCP. I told him that withdrawing from it keeps one safe. During the talk, I kept a kind heart, a heart for saving people. My brother and his wife immediately agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its related organizations.
As a Dafa disciple living in the Fa rectification period, one's every thought should be on the Fa. The ordinary people's thoughts that haven't yet been eliminated interfere with truth-clarification and saving sentient beings. I remember that there was a practitioner who had a conflict with his neighbor. By chance this neighbor was one of my relatives. He then called and asked me to clarify the truth to them. The result was that the truth was clarified and the neighbor withdrew from the CCP. Now the relationship between the practitioner and the neighbor is back to normal.
The process of truth clarification is the course of one's cultivation. I hope fellow practitioners who have not done well in this area will act quickly to do a better job. We need to balance our family relationships, balance our work environment and social environment, and study the Fa and practice unselfishness. Use your heart to save sentient beings.
