(Clearwisdom.net) The three of us in our Fa study group are all young. We live in a poor county. The terrain is mountainous to the east and there are secluded areas to the south; access to our county is difficult. Those that live there still have not been able to learn the truth about Falun Gong, so we distribute materials in those areas.
We brought a few Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party booklets the first time we went. We drove to several distant villages in the southern mountainous area. The villages are very small, each with only a few dozen families. We planned to put the Nine Commentaries booklets in a bag and leave them at the doorsteps, but an older practitioner thought it would be better to give the booklets to the villagers in person. Under the older practitioner’s leadership, another practitioner and I eliminated our attachment to fear and started to distribute the Nine Commentaries face-to-face. The villagers were very happy to get them. After that, the other practitioner and I started distributing truth materials face-to-face. We distributed “Traveling Heaven and Earth Through Wind and Rain” and Shen Yun VCDs. Later, we realized that people living in these distant areas did not have much education and many of them were illiterate. Normally, there was very little entertainment for them. Shen Yun VCD’s will allow people to enjoy the entertainment program and understand the truth at the same time. We decided to distribute Shen Yun VCDs from that point on.
We drove a car to distribute materials the first time. Later, we discovered there were no roads to some of the villages and a car could not get there. We rode motorcycles to allow us to get further into the mountainous areas. Once, after we got far up a big mountain, a river blocked our way. The villagers crossed the river on foot. The water was knee deep. We could not ride our motorcycles across the river. We had to take the small road beside the river. The road got narrower and narrower. The bumpy mountain road had deep tire tracks from the farmers' trucks. We could no longer even ride our motorcycles. We had to push them and walk. The other practitioner and I felt as if “the roads seem to disappear into the mountains and streams.” A few times we wanted to turn back, but we still saw signs of truck tires on the road. We thought there must be villages up high in the mountains. We decided to climb. After passing one hill, a small village appeared in front of us like a utopia. Green rice fields surrounded the small village. A pond with a lotus flower graced the entrance to the village. It was so beautiful, as in, “After passing the shady willow trees, there will be bright flowers and another village ahead.” We distributed Shen Yun VCD’s to the families that had TV antennas. The villagers were happy to accept them.
One afternoon. we spent a lot of time on the mountain. The villages were far apart. Some small villages had only a few families. We followed the directions on a map and traveled village-to-village. Finally, after climbing to the top of a big mountain, we were tired. We stopped for a break on the top of the mountain and drank some water. Looking back, we saw villages scattered on the land, high and low. These were places we had visited, where we had delivered truth clarification materials. The beings there had hope of being saved. We were happy for them. At the same time, we felt our important responsibilities and our mission as Dafa practitioners. The time left is becoming shorter and we should quicken our pace.
Distributing truth clarification materials was a process for the other practitioner and me to improve together. Two times our motorcycle tires did not have air right after we got on the road. We knew we had a loophole in our xinxing. We stopped to find a repair shop and looked inward. We found we had attachments to being impulsive and to finishing this job. We emphasized ourselves and did not cooperate well. After the tires were repaired, our minds were more calm and pure, and we were truly ready to go on the road.
Another time, after we had left to distribute materials, there was bad weather. The rain started after we got out of city. The wind was strong and the raindrops were huge. Driving our motorcycle at high speed, the raindrops pelted our faces. My fellow practitioner said, “This is traveling heaven and earth through the wind and rain.” The rain was heavy and our clothes were soaked. It was very cold that autumn. We took shelter under an eave, but the rain came down heavier and heavier. There was no sign it would stop. My fellow practitioner thought it was the old forces interference that did not want us to save people. He told me, “Let’s go. We will not wait.” I hesitated for a moment, but followed him in the rain. We sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all interference as we moved forward. Just as Master said in Zhuan Falun:
“good or evil comes from a person’s spontaneous thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.”
When we got to our destination to distribute truth clarification materials, the rain had almost stopped. After we finished, the rain started again.
We three worked together. One practitioner produced truth clarification materials at home. The other practitioner and I went out distributing the materials. We did it for more than a year. The map wore out, but we visited more and more villages in distant areas. There are fewer and fewer villages we have not visited yet. Although there were highs and lows, we want to continue working hard to do what Master asks. Thank you, Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners.
