(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in April 1999. Because of the practice, I no longer suffer from rheumatic heart disease. I am very healthy now. It is Falun Gong that has brought joy and happiness to my entire family. Thinking of my cultivation practice for the past few years, I don't know where to begin to describe my immense gratitude towards Teacher. The best repayment I can think of is to do well the three things Teacher requires of us and seize time to save people.
I have had a very good cultivation environment. I am best known for my smile. I smile at everyone I meet. In order to clarify the truth about Falun Gong, I approach people to chat and clarify the truth. When I distribute truth-clarification materials about Falun Gong or the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," I do so face-to-face. I ask them to pass the materials on to their relatives and friends after they have read them. I also tell them that doing so will bring them peace and happiness. I clarify the truth mostly to members or cadres of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I follow Teacher's Fa when I clarify the truth. I have no fear because I am a Falun Gong practitioner and remind myself that it is my mission to save people.
I have many stories about clarifying the truth of Falun Gong and helping people withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). So far, the most memorable experience happened two years ago. One night I was studying the Fa when my son called me at about 9:00 p.m.. He sounded like he had been crying. When I asked him what had happened, he told me that his girlfriend had broken up with him because he and I both practice Falun Gong. She demanded that my son give up practicing Falun Gong as a condition to continue the relationship. When my son refused, she broke up with him.
My son had just started studying the Fa at the time. I told my son, "It's all right. All relationships are predestined. Teacher says, 'If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it.'" (Lecture Seven of Zhuan Falun)
After I finished the call, I decided that his ex-girlfriend had a serious misunderstanding about Falun Gong. I knew that I must clarify the truth to her in person.
The next day, I traveled by train and visited her at her school. This was the first time I had met her. I started by saying, "I have not come to ask you to marry my son. Marriage is predestined. I have come to explain to you what kind of people are practicing Falun Gong. It is your good fortune that you dated a man who practices Falun Gong. You shouldn't believe the CCP's vicious propaganda against Falun Gong."
I then presented materials containing important facts about Falun Gong, as well as facts about the self-immolation act on Tiananmen Square, which was staged by the CCP. I explained to her some of the discrepancies of the CCP's claims by telling her, "Your mother often has a sore throat. It is difficult for a person with a sore throat to talk. Does it make any sense for Liu Siying, whose throat had been cut open after the so-called self-immolation, to be able to talk perfectly clearly and even sing?" I explained to her the significance of withdrawing from the CCP and its two affiliated student leagues. "Look," I said. "There are messages all over the streets that say, 'Heaven shall eradicate the CCP' and 'Keep yourself safe by quitting the CCP'. You may do so with your nickname or a pseudonym. Isn't it high time for you to quit the CCP?" She then decided to quit using her nickname.
Finally I told her, "High-rise buildings are desirable properties. However, I wouldn't accept an offer of ten high-rise buildings in exchange for giving up Falun Gong practice." I asked if she understood what I meant. She blushed. She is now practicing Falun Gong as well.
On my way back home, I kept sending forth righteous thoughts and asked for Teacher's help in giving me opportunities to clarify the truth to predestined people. During the trip back home, I persuaded eight people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
There was an elderly couple sitting across from me on the train. During our chat, I learned that they live in Gongzhuling City, which is Teacher's hometown. It turned out that they worked for the CCP before they retired. I seized the opportunity to clarify the truth to them and persuaded them to quit the CCP. I told them, "You two are so lucky to live in Gongzhuling." They said, "It is an impoverished region." I said with a smile, "It is a marvelous place where a great man was born." "Who?" "The founder of Falun Gong!" I said. They asked, "Do you practice Falun Gong?" I nodded with a smile. I added, "Before I practiced Falun Gong, I suffered from rheumatic heart disease. I was cured by Falun Gong. You had just called me "young miss." Actually, I am not much younger than you. I have been free of illness since I started practicing Falun Gong. That is why I look younger than my actual age." The old man whispered, "But the government is still suppressing Falun Gong." I said, "On the surface, the CCP is capable of controlling the Chinese people, but it is incapable of controlling people's hearts. Signs that say 'Heaven shall eradicate the CCP' are all over the streets. Have you read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party?" They said they had read it, but they had some questions about it. Finally they asked how they would quit the CCP using nicknames or pseudonyms. I explained that some people wanted to quit the CCP, but were afraid that the CCP might bring them trouble if they used their real names. Therefore, they decided to use their nicknames or pseudonyms. I told the that names are nothing but codes, and that it is your heart that matters, but you must really mean it for it to work. When the train was about to arrive at my destination, I said, "You two have not quit the CCP. Hurry up and give me your names so that I may do it on your behalf." The woman then told me both of their names. When I got off the train, we waved at each other to bid farewell.
Two years have passed, but I still remember their faces. I am becoming increasingly proficient in clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and in encouraging people to renounce their memberships in the CCP and its affiliated student leagues. Each day I encourage several people to quit the CCP.
Teacher, please be assured that I shall walk well the path home with your guidance!
