(Clearwisdom.net) Greetings to Master and fellow practitioners!
I am a veteran practitioner who started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. It has been seven years since I first started to produce materials clarifying the facts. Under Master's care, I progressed from not having any knowledge to being a veteran at producing these materials. Below I would like to share my experiences in producing informational materials and clarifying the facts.
Setting Up a Materials Site at Home
Seven years ago, after my husband passed away due to the persecution, I bought a computer and a photocopier. Initially, I knew nothing about operating this equipment. Later on, a practitioner taught me how to go onto the internet to download materials. That year, although I only received 150 yuan as insurance premium payments every month and some money my son gave me, I had enough to buy a printer. At that time, I spent all my time printing truth clarifying materials. I asked a practitioner to teach me how to type, but he only told me to first familiarize myself with the finger positioning on the keyboard and then stopped coming. As I received articles from practitioners one after another, I was at a loss. I realized that it was up to me to do something and I could not rely on others. Thus, I learned bit by bit and typed one character after another. Sometimes it took me all day to type a short article. Later on, I had a grandson and had to take care of him 24 hours a day. However, I never stopped producing truth clarification materials.
Three years ago, I was detained for over a month and later on sent to a brainwashing center where I was further persecuted. My computer at home was confiscated by the police from the Domestic Security Division. After I escaped from captivity with righteous thoughts, I became fearful that the information in my computer would be tapped into. I then remembered Master's words: “The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts.” (“Drive out Interference” from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I calmed down and studied the Fa. One day, I read these words: “But as a practitioner, you are in principle protected by Teacher’s fashen. Others cannot take away what is yours, even if they want to.” (Zhuan Falun)
Aren't I a practitioner? Master's fashen takes care of everything. The evil cannot take away my magic weapon. Immediately, I let go of my fear. I knew that Master had eliminated my thought karma and my trust in Master and Dafa became more steadfast.
One month later, my computer was returned to me. At that time, I had hoped that practitioners with computer knowledge could help me reinstall software in my computer so that I could safely access the internet again. Some time later, I bought a new computer and repeatedly asked practitioners to help me set it up, but I was turned down. When I mustered the courage to go onto the website, either I could not download anything or a message kept appearing: “What you are sending might be detected by others, do you want to send it?” Several times I cried with frustration for not being able to produce timely reports on the current situation in my local area. I had no choice but to send these reports from other practitioners' computers.
I discovered that I still had the attachments to relying on others and fear. I must rid myself of these attachments. Dafa disciples must immerse themselves in the Fa, and only then can our divine side manifest. Once I had this righteous thought, a practitioner sent me an operating system. I knew that Master was encouraging me.
Organizing a Fa Study Group to Guide Everyone to Follow the Minghui Website on Important Matters
Our Fa study group was formally established in 2006. This expanded from one group to three groups. In March 2008, many practitioners in my district were arrested and major information sites were disrupted. Practitioners in our study group asked me whether I wanted to keep this study group. I said without hesitation: Continue! So we persisted for six months, but our group broke up after I was persecuted.
When I returned home over a month later, I again organized practitioners to study the Fa at my place. However, some practitioners became frightened when they heard sounds outside. The meeting broke up after a brief sharing. Because we had fear, the evil took advantage of our loopholes.
After that I downloaded articles from the Minghui website and brought them to the study group so as to strengthen the righteous thoughts of fellow practitioners.
When it was published on the Minghui website that Jiang Zemin was sued in international courts, I immediately printed over 100 self adhesive stickers and gathered everyone together to post these notices. Some practitioners were in doubt but I told them this was from the Minghui website. Master had said before that we should look to the Minghui website for guidance on important matters. Subsequently practitioners photocopied several hundred more notices and stuck them in public places, stupefying the evil in our district. Afterwards, everyone had a deep revelation: It is correct to follow Minghui's directives. In July of this year, the Minghui website published an article on lighting firecrackers after overseas media reported on the death of Jiang Zemin. We immediately took action and got many people to renounce the Communist Party.
A practitioner shared understandings with me on whether it was the right thing to do. I told him what I had enlightened to and read a paragraph on Master's teachings in “Fa Teaching Given at the 2010 New York Fa Conference”:
“What I just said was to tell you, in fact, that you have all done very well, and don’t need Master to affirm each and every thing you do or each and every one of you. By making it to the present, and by partaking in saving sentient beings, you are blazing a path for yourself, establishing your own mighty virtue, and fulfilling your historic mission.”
As long as we act according to the Fa and can achieve the objective of saving people, then we will not go astray.
When the practitioners in our study group received news that detained practitioners were going to be released soon, they would send righteous thoughts for them ahead of time and send them Master's teachings so that they would not be misled by practitioners who had gone astray. Some practitioners have financial difficulties and broken homes. We supported them mentally and materially so they could feel the warmth of Dafa.
Seizing Opportunities to Save People
During the summer holidays this year, I met an adolescent village girl who was a university student. She had to work outside her hometown during the holidays because her family was poor. I clarified the facts of the persecution to her and asked her to quit the Communist Party, but she did not take it seriously. I persuaded her many times, but her attitude remained unchanged. I nearly wanted to give up on her. Then one day I heard that she was staying at someone's place and she could not sleep the entire night as it was too hot. I felt pity for her. Master is so compassionate that he even offered salvation to spies; therefore, how could I be antagonistic towards a young lady who does not understand the truth? I opened dynaweb and she was quite interested in reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. I knew that there was hope for her. I told her that one does not come to this world by chance and encouraged her to dissociate herself from the Communist regime in order to have a good future. She smiled happily and asked me to help her quit the Youth league and the Young Pioneers. After more than a month,when she reluctantly parted ways with me I gave her software to break through the internet firewall and instructed her to pass it around to her classmates so that more people can be saved.
Another time, when I took my grandson to play in the park, he held my hand and led me up a flight of steps. I told him there was no one up there but he insisted that there were people upstairs. I followed him and indeed there was a pre-school. My grandson went in and refused to leave. Master said in “Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the US Capital”:
“People with predestined relationships and those who can be saved can be made to--made to by Master's Law Bodies, righteous gods, or the immense field that Dafa has formed in the world--appear right before you in any of a range of settings, providing them with a chance to learn the truth. But you have to carry it out, and it doesn't work if you're not out there doing things.”
Thus, I paid the school fees and twice a week brought my grandson to study in this pre-school class.
At first, I became close to the teachers and parents and kept giving them truth clarifying materials. They regarded me as a good person. Once they organized an outing for the children. A teacher and her boyfriend insisted on taking me and my grandson home in their car. I clarified the truth to them and talked about the Tiananmen Square self immolation incident. My grandson also helped to persuade his teacher to quit the party to avoid disaster. I said to them, “Quit the party and you will have good fortune.” Thus, the young couple renounced their party membership using their real names.
I also clarified the truth to other teachers during the break in between lessons and helped them quit the party. After lessons were over, I gave every parent a Shen Yun DVD.
Since then, no matter what classes my grandson attended, I would leave behind the materials I printed and DVDs I burned to clarify the facts of the persecution. I would always look for opportunities to help the teachers quit the CCP.
I sincerely thank the practitioners who have helped me. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
