(Clearwisdom.net) I am an older practitioner who's legs are disabled. Before I practiced Falun Gong, I needed assistance in attending to my daily needs and was not able to walk on my own. After I began the practice, I was able to walk, although with some difficulty. This greatly relieved the burden of my children having to constantly care for me, and I was able to live independently.
When I became a Falun Gong practitioner, I was initially afraid of telling people the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong, and spoke about it only to my relatives, close neighbors and friends. In 2005, a relative by marriage, who is also a practitioner, came to visit us while there was a trade convention in town. She took me to the convention and we clarified the facts to people, exposed the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and asked people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Because this trade convention charged no admission, it attracted many people from the countryside. People gathered on the street during the breaks and we used this opportunity to explain the facts to them. Each day, six or seven people quit the CCP. By the time my relative left, I had become less timid. Each day, I studied the Fa in the morning, and went out on the streets in the afternoon to clarify the truth to people. Four to eight people agreed to quit the CCP each day. When the weather began getting colder, there were fewer people on the streets, so I decided to go to a street close to an elementary school and clarified the facts to elementary school children. I also sometimes went to an intersection nearby an after-school activity and talked to the kids after they were dismissed from the class.
When winter came, I bought myself a cell phone and started calling my relatives. I convinced thirty-six people to quit the CCP. I also called some workplaces but was less successful. I later went to supermarkets and shopping centers where many people gathered, and was able to help up to a dozen people quit the CCP each day. I continued doing this until two days before the Chinese New Year.
When the weather grew warmer, many people came out. They worked on nearby construction projects and in the small trades. I tried to reach everyone I saw out on the street. I explained the facts about the persecution and encouraged them to quit the CCP. Most of them agreed and quit the CCP on the spot, but there were exceptions. When I clarified the facts to one young man, he started threatening me saying he would report me to the police, and he even attempted to drag me to a police station. At that time, I was not afraid and continued explaining the facts in a calm tone of voice. Under Master's compassionate protection nothing happened. Therefore this young man was not able to harm himself, by attempting to harm me. My righteous thoughts were firm from studying the Fa.
I wake up at 3:40 a.m. to practice the exercises, then send righteous thoughts at 6:00 a.m., and study the Fa until 8:30 a.m. I also transcribe the Fa for an hour in the afternoon before I go out to clarify the truth to people I meet on the street. At this point, I have memorized Zhuan Falun seven times and transcribed the book Zhuan Falun five times. I send righteous thoughts every hour during the daytime and am able to send righteous thoughts eleven times every day. Because our cultivation state affects our ability to save people, I study four lectures of Zhuan Falun each day, three lectures during the day, and one lecture during the evening group Fa-study. If I have a visitor during the day, I try to make up my Fa study later. I've remained steadfast every single day and have never missed a day.
After reading Minghui Weekly, I started writing the facts about the persecution on yuan bills and used them to clarify the truth. In the beginning, I wrote the characters out by hand but later used a stamp. I spend one to twenty bills while shopping. A bus clerk once refused to take my money, but later accepted it after I talked with him. Most who have refused to take these bills at grocery stores later accepted them.
I will continue studying the Fa diligently, send righteous thoughts, and offer more people salvation.
