(Clearwisdom.net) I have been practicing for over ten years. I have taken some falls along the way. I want to share my experiences with fellow practitioners.
I belong to the working class. I work eight hours a day at a supermarket. I clarify the truth amongst my peers according to my understanding. Every day I pay for things with money that has pro-Falun Gong messages written on it, and each time I visit my hometown, I take Falun Gong materials and CDs. Whoever I meet, whether it is a friend, relative, classmate, or just an acquaintance, I say hello and tell them the truth about Falun Gong and explain the "three withdrawals" (withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party[CCP] and its two youth organizations). I have compassion for these people. Due t the CCP propaganda, their level of belief in divinity and virtue is low. I often think about how I can explain the true situation to them in a way that they can accept it.
I speak in the third person and with wisdom. I explain the facts step by step: from the beauty of Dafa, to the Tiananmen Square "Self Immolation" incident, to the "three withdrawals." The majority of people understand and are willing to quit their Party affiliations. On one occasion, a colleague got a cold and had a sore throat. He might have had tonsillitis, and had difficulty drinking water. I told him about Liu Siying, a girl involved in the fabricated "Self Immolation" incident. I explained what really happened. When people compare the two stories, they will know the truth. Then it is easy to talk to them about other situations and facts. Sometimes, I talk about the South Asia Tsunami and how precious life is and about karmic retribution.
I am not concerned with how many people I talk to. If someone comes along, I will share the truth with them. I will tell them about the relationship between loss and gain and ask them to share this message with their relatives and friends. I try to let them know that Falun Dafa is good and have them sign up for them to withdraw from the CCP. When I first started to talk to people, I would be happy when they quit the CCP and I would be angry when they did not. I became frustrated and did not clarify the truth for a few days. Later I realized that I was emotionally moved by sentiment and was being guided by the old forces. I needed to let go of that attachment. Then I was able to clarify the facts with a peaceful mind. I would not become too excited when someone quit and I would not be angry if they did not quit. At the very least, I had planted a seed in their hearts. When the conditions are right and if the Fa-rectification has not ended, they will have a chance to listen to the truth.
The 2009 Shen Yun DVDs arrived, and I immediately watched the performance twice. I felt that it was very good and that nothing could compare with it. My husband, a fellow practitioner, burned copies of it, and we went out to distribute them. At first we gave them to people that we were familiar with. I was worried that they would not treasure such a good thing. I urged them to return the disc when they were done. In a dream I had, there were a group of people in the yard who were waiting for us to show a movie. I understood with a hint from Master that sentient beings were waiting for us to save them. I changed the way that I distributed DVDs. When people who received DVDs said that they would return them, I asked them to pass them on to their friends and relatives, instead. Whoever watches the Shen Yun show is blessed.
I went to the supermarket and met a colleague that I not seen for a long time. Her husband works for the provincial police department. She stared at my face and asked, " What lotion you use on your face? It is so white and shining." I smiled, "To tell you the truth, I do not use any lotion on my face at all. It is because I continue to practice Falun Gong." Then I started to share the truth with her and she began to agree with me. I made an appointment with her and planned to give her a DVD of the Shen Yun show. When I returned home, I found that I had run out of DVDs. I was sure that a certain female practitioner had some at her home. I asked her and sure enough she had some at home. I understood that if we have the heart to save sentient beings, Master will arrange everything for us. We only need to do the leg work and talk to others.
In accordance with the process of Fa-rectification, my home became a truth-clarifying site. It is like a small flower that everyone takes care of. Everything runs fine. Before 2009, in addition to my day job, I had three other jobs. All that I earned from the three jobs was used for truth-clarifying materials and to buy supplies. Once I received a wage of 170 yuan. I got preoccupied and did not put the cash into the wallet that was used specifically for truth-clarifying materials. Instead, I put the money in my own pocket. Three days after I put the money in my wallet, I lost 17 yuan. I am very careful and never lose money. I knew that I had a gap and put the money back in its proper place. Today I am writing about it because I want to remind fellow practitioners that we must be very careful with money that is used for a truth-clarifying material site. That money can never be used for personal use. We must obey the rules and each step must be right.
Before I practiced Falun Dafa, I was never lucky. However, I am very lucky that I found Dafa, for which I have waited thousands of millions of years. I am a Fa-rectification Dafa disciple that will assist with Fa ratification and help Master to save sentient beings. I do not have the words to express myself adequately to our revered Master. I would like to quote a sentence from a song written by a fellow practitioner as the conclusion to my sharing: "In the New Year, Dafa disciples will cultivate more diligently and we only wish to see Master smile!"
