(Clearwisdom.net) I am 62 years old. I was very fortunate to obtain the Fa in 1998. Under the merciful care of Master, I have walked through rain and wind for more than ten years, persistently clarifying the truth
From being illiterate to being literate
I was illiterate since I was young. Before the persecution began on July 20, 1999, I attended a group Fa study. After the persecution began, for a long time, I lacked the setting in which I could study the Fa in a group, so I listened to Master's lectures at home. Later, when Master published new lectures, I had to ask fellow practitioners to read them to me. Then I thought: “If I cannot read Zhuan Falun to study the Fa, how can I catch up with the Fa-rectification process?” Thus, I decided that I must learn to read the book. Strengthened by Master, and with the help of fellow practitioners, I can now fluently read Zhuan Falun.
Master said:
“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master. It is good enough if you have this wish. It is the master who actually does this, as you are simply unable to do it.” (Zhuan Falun)
Saving sentient beings with righteous thoughts
Initially, after the persecution began, I did not have any truth-clarification materials. I learned from fellow practitioners how to write, “Remember Falun Dafa is good, be blessed in the future.” I wrote it on cards and gave them to everyone I met. I also bought chalk and wrote on walls along the streets with facts about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa.
Later, I obtained truth-clarification materials. I started selling women's goods and clarified the facts to the people I met, in order to save sentient beings poisoned by the CCP's lies. I would clarify the truth to anyone who bought goods from me and tell them about the beauty of Dafa, as well as the miraculous changes that have happened to practitioners.
I took a bus a couple of times. Sometimes there were 20 to 40 passengers. Sometimes, there were fewer passengers.
Each time, before I clarified the truth, I sent forth righteous thoughts and recited several times:
“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth, ushering in spring
Righteous thoughts can save the people in this world”
(“The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos” from Hong Yin II)
I purified my thoughts and eliminated all selfishness that would interfere with me. I only had one thought--“Save sentient beings”--and I asked Master to strengthen that thought. I did this so that everything would go smoothly. Then I started clarifying the facts to everyone on the bus who would listen to me seriously. Passengers who understood the facts immediately quit the CCP, without hesitation. Many people on the bus were saved.
There are four big trade events every ten days in our area. Each time, I go there to distribute truth-clarification materials and clarify the truth face to face. I have done so persistently over the past ten years and have never slacked off in doing the three things. I am very calm and candid when handing out the materials. Most of the time, I can distribute truth-clarification materials face to face. I believe that Master takes care of me. I believe in Dafa's power very much.
For these ten-plus years, I have not only clarified the truth to my friends, relatives and neighbors, but I have been explaining the facts to anyone I meet everywhere I go, with a clear goal to clarify the truth. Every time, whether it is a funeral or a wedding, I actively attend and clarify the truth.
Once, there was a wedding in a village. There were guests sitting among ten tables, waiting for dinner. I saw that it was a great opportunity to clarify the truth, so I asked Master to strengthen me. I sent forth righteous thoughts to get rid of the evil beings and factors behind those sentient beings that would keep them from accepting the truth. Then I explained the beauty of Dafa and the necessity of withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations to the wedding guests. Afterward, I distributed truth-clarification fliers and brochures, depending on everyone's needs. I also helped people quit the CCP. After I finished, they started eating dinner. Then I went into the kitchen to talk to the chefs. Everyone who attended the wedding heard the truth, and one person also obtained the Fa.
Another time, there was a family whose daughter was getting married that day. I was doing the sitting meditation when I heard the fireworks. I thought it was a good chance to clarify the truth, since a lot of people came to welcome the bride. I decided to continue the sitting meditation when I got back home and went out to explain the facts.
While going out, I recited the Fa:
“As Dafa disciples clarify the truth
Sharp swords shoot forth from their mouths
Tearing open the rotten demons’ lies
Lose no time and save them,
hurry up and tell them”
(“Hurry Up And Tell Them” from Hong Yin II)
When I arrived, I helped the bride to change to her dress, and at the same time I clarified the truth to those who came to welcome the bride and I persuaded them to quit the CCP. When the bride went into a vehicle, I saw that there were actually eight vehicles from a wedding company, so I clarified the truth to the people in each vehicle. When I finished, the vehicles were ready to leave.
Once I went to another village to attend a funeral. Before I went, I prepared the truth-clarification materials, brochures and copies of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
When I arrived, I first sent forth righteous thoughts to clear the field and recited the Fa:
“With righteous thoughts and righteous actions
He is diligent without letting up
Eliminating demons that damage the Fa
He is good to all beings”
(“A Righteous God” from Hong Yin II)
Then I clarified the facts about Falun Dafa, exposed the CCP's false propaganda and the reasons for withdrawing from the CCP. Everyone who heard me talk asked for truth-clarification materials and were willing to quit the CCP. Later, I ran out of truth-clarification materials and asked people to get more from fellow practitioners. At night, I went out to put posters and distribute more truth-clarification materials. The next day, I went to a relative's home in that village to clarify the facts and persuaded more people to quit the CCP.
Deputy director of police station agrees to quit the CCP
Sometimes, agents from the police station and other government agencies came to my home to harass me. At first, I had fear. Then I realized that I was a Dafa disciple and the thought of fear should not be mine. I asked Master to strengthen me, so that I could let go of my fear. Now, officials come to my home to listen to the truth.
Once, a deputy director of a local police station and another policemen came to my home, so I talked to them about the beauty of Dafa and the miraculous effect Dafa can have on improving one's health. I also expounded on the corruption of the CCP and explained that the Tiananmen Square “self-immolation” incident was fabricated to slander Falun Dafa, that the CCP harvested organs from Falun Dafa practitioners while they were still alive, and that Party agents burned the practitioners' remains to destroy the evidence. I also talked to them about how doing good would be rewarded, while doing evil would be meet with retribution. When I was clarifying the facts, I also sent forth righteous thoughts at the same time to eliminate the evil factors that wanted to prevent these sentient beings from being saved. The officials listened to me very seriously, and I spent more than two hours with them. Finally, the deputy director and the police officer agreed to quit the CCP. When they met me later, they said to me, “Falun Dafa is good!”
During these past ten years, as I have been distributing truth-clarification materials, the more I distribute, the more I am willing to distribute. The more I clarify the truth, the more willing I am to clarify the truth. I hang banners, stick up posters and write slogans wherever I go. Banners reading “Falun Dafa is good!” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” can be seen everywhere in my area. I only hold one wish: I do not care how long the Fa-rectification period will be, I will always persistently do the three things well, so that I can be worthy of Master's merciful salvation and live up to Master's and sentient being's expectations.
