(Clearwisdom.net) Master said in "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005":
"The continuing growth in the number of people quitting the Party is the process of the wicked Party crumbling. Before long, a phenomenon will appear in Chinese society: when a group of people are sitting in their office, or they are in their factory or a store, or they are sitting around a dinner table, or even as they are entertaining friends at home, their conversation will go something like: "Have you quit?" (Audience laughs) "Yeah, I quit a long time ago." "Oh, why didn't you tell me when you quit the Party?" (Audience laughs and applauds) Think about it, everyone, when Chinese society gets to this stage, will the wicked Party still exist?"
I followed Master's teachings and didn't let any opportunities pass me by. Under His protection and guidance, everything has been going smoothly for me, even after someone reported me to the authorities when I was clarifying the truth about Dafa to people at a wedding right before the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games.
The 610 Office had issued a specific order for police to arrest me, as I found out after the Special Olympics, but I was not arrested. I felt Master's presence by my side. As long as our thoughts are righteous, our minds are with sentient beings; then when we focus on rescuing people, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will be left with nothing but complete destruction!
Earlier this year, at my niece's wedding, I helped about eighty people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Things went very well. I told myself then that I would save more people during the Chinese New Year holiday when I returned to my hometown.
I returned right before the holiday, and asked the village Party Secretary, an administrator and his brother, who had already quit the CCP, to invite all the Party members, Youth League members, and the village retirees to my house for a dinner. On New Year's Eve people arrived and sat down at the two big tables. Silently I asked Teacher for help and wisdom, so that my words to them would touch the very origins of their lives, and they would understand the truth and hence be saved.
After the guests settled down, my husband (not a practitioner but always helps me) began by telling them the changes that happened to me after I started practicing Falun Dafa. He told them that Falun Dafa is good. Then he remarked, "It's your turn now. Tell them what you want to say!"
Everyone quietly gazed at me and waited for me to talk. It seemed everything was frozen, but the minds of the sentient beings longing to be saved mingled with mine. The field of righteous thoughts was so strong that it covered the entire village. How true is Master's comment, "The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities."
My older sister, also a practitioner, simultaneously sent forth righteous thoughts, asking Teacher to help us eliminate all the evil elements that might hinder the sentient beings from being saved. I calmly told everyone, "I am here today to bring you good fortune. Everyone here, young and old, is related to me. Although I don't come to see you very often, you are in my thoughts all the time. I would like to bring you Buddha's mercy, happiness and peace. I'll help you to choose a bright future for your life."
Following that opening speech, I told them of the beauty of Dafa and the truth about the persecution. I also told them about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. I mentioned that I was here simply to clarify the truth. I asked them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, so as to erase the mark of the beast and avoid being buried with it, and to believe that Dafa can bring them good fortune. I told them that if they truly believe in Dafa, their lives and those of their family members will benefit without spending a penny.
Before I even finished talking, the guests conjoined their hands and nodded their heads. They agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations and their entire families would do so as well.
I told them that it's only effective if the person himself agrees to withdraw. Then I handed everyone a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Dafa Happiness, and other Dafa materials, including ten Dafa charm amulets (1) in each package. A few people told me that ten amulets were not enough, because there were more than twenty people in their family. Finally, an electrician who was a CCP member approached me. As soon as I handed him the package he held my hands and said, "I know that you have Dafa materials and the charm amulets that bring good fortune. But you gave everyone but me one of those. I waited two years for you to give me one of those!" I replied, "I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." He spoke up, "I need to thank you, too. You finally came after all." Upon hearing that I almost cried. Master had sent him to me, to give me courage and tell me that more sentient beings are waiting for me to save them.
These sentient beings have waited for more than two years! As a matter of fact, they have actually waited for generations for this moment to come so that they can be saved. I finally enlightened to what Teacher really means in his article "Righteous Thoughts," "Dafa disciples are now sentient beings' only, sole hope for salvation."
The promise that we made in prehistoric times, and our historic responsibility, was to assist in rectifying the Fa, and save sentient beings.
One party member and his two brothers didn't come that Chinese New Year Eve, but arrived on the morning of New Year's Day to greet us. I gave them the packages as well.
New Year's Eve was over, and our villagers were saved, but instead of feeling happy I felt deep regret. I was sorry for having kept sentient beings waiting for so long. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
When I go outside to convince passersby to quit the CCP, I am elated when some of them agree to quit. When no one wants to quit on certain days, I still feel that I have not wasted my time, as long as I use paper money with truth-clarifying messages written on them. But this time I felt sad, even though more people were saved at one time. I didn't know why I felt that way. Was it because there were hundreds of people yet to be saved, and the number of people we have saved is quite small in comparison? I shouldn't have thought about how many people I have saved. Instead, I should worry about how many people have not been saved, how many are still confused, how many have not found their way back to their original homes after being brainwashed by the CCP, and how many have not awakened. I know I still have a long way to go to meet Teacher's expectation, so how can I be happy?
I need to use my time to the best of my ability and do my best in assisting Teacher in Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. Everyone counts. I remember what Teacher said,
"Disciples of Fa,
be diligent, with a will that ebbs not
The countless years of hardship were all for this time"
("A Will That Ebbs Not")
