(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2001. During the past decade, I have gone out for 4 to 5 hours almost every day to save sentient beings. I have been all over our city to deliver materials explaining the facts about Falun Gong. I have walked to local areas, cycled to places a bit farther away, and used the bus to travel to other cities. I had only one goal: to save more people.
One evening in 2005, it started raining heavily before I had finished delivering all of the materials. The water on the road was half a meter deep and I was soaking wet. It was impossible to ride my bike, so I walked with it and recited the following few lines from Master's poem:
“To consummate yourself, reaping Buddhahood,
Let joy be found in hardship.”(“Tempering the Will” in Hong Yin)
I have never felt that saving sentient beings is difficult or tiring. My wife is also a practitioner and she always jokes with me, “You are too lazy to do our housework, but you never slack off or complain about going out to clarify the facts.” Why can I do this? It's because when I started practicing, I did two things well. The first was to study the Fa. I carefully read one to three lectures of Zhuan Falun every day, and I read Master’s lectures repeatedly. The second was to read Minghui Weekly. I remember that Master said:
“Study the Fa more, and take a look at some of the articles on Clearwisdom that students publish to share with each other. They are truly wonderful, and indeed very mature. Some of the articles were really well written. Compare yourselves with those and see where you fall short.” (“Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005”)
I read articles from fellow practitioners and write down the things that they have enlightened to, and other things that are helpful for my improvement. I also read the media articles produced by our practitioners. Every day I put the goodness of the Fa into my mind, and my xinxing improved naturally.
Many fellow practitioners have done more and are better than me at saving sentient beings, but there are also practitioners who have not done so well. Some practitioners distribute truth-clarification materials only one day a week, as if they just want to get it over with. For the other six days they only study the Fa and send forth righteous thoughts. Some practitioners cannot even convince people that withdrawing from the CCP is the best thing for them. Some only read Zhuan Falun and Master's lectures.
There are so many ways to save sentient beings, but some practitioners feel that there is nothing to do. That is largely due to their attachment to fear and selfishness. I realize that we should save as many sentient beings as possible.
