(Minghui.org) We appreciate Master for granting us this unprecedented opportunity of cultivating in Falun Dafa. In return, we walk righteously on the path of cultivation. One fellow practitioner persisted in sending righteous thoughts in front of a Chinese Consulate for over ten years, and I asked what motivated her. She said only two words, "to persist." "If we can persist in sitting here until the end of the persecution, we'll know that we have done what we should do."
1. Eliminating Everyday People's Thoughts
Cameras are installed everywhere around the Chinese Consulate. A fellow practitioner told me that if the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants to harm someone, they can "accidentally" touch his or her body with a poisoned umbrella or something else, and the person will then die slowly. Even overseas, there are environments that can expose a practitioner's heart of fear. Master told us,
"If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe." (Zhuan Falun)
Who can harm our Master? We walked out of the evil environment with the Fa in our hearts. What's to fear? Master is always with us. Cameras were created by modern people and CCP spies are everyday people. However, we are Dafa practitioners in the period of the Fa-rectification, and are walking on the path to godhood.
"Who should actually be afraid of whom?" (“Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005”)
Messages in both Chinese and English on the banners hanging around the Chinese Consulate read, "The CCP Harvest Organs from Living Falun Gong Practitioners," "80 Million People Were Killed by the CCP's Tyranny," "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing, and Zhou Yongkang to The Justice,""The CCP is Dying," along with colorful illustrations. These strongly shock the evil and awaken people. What are we afraid of? We should persist in sitting there with our righteous thoughts, and save people every day.
Every day, a good number of Chinese travelers come to shop or eat nearby, which provides us with a good opportunity to clarify the truth. We always peacefully give them materials, and explain the truth to them. But some Chinese people who have listened to the slander curse at us, and give us evil looks or stares.
One time, a girl who looked like a high school student refused to accept the materials. Furthermore, she made a rude gesture with her middle finger and shook her fist at us like a hooligan. She boarded the tour bus and left. It wasn't easy to save people with a peaceful heart at the beginning, but we soon realized it was actually a good chance to eliminate the heart of fighting and hatred that the CCP implants in people. Master told us,
"...cultivators have no enemies, and nobody is worthy of being Dafa's enemy." (“Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World”)
Without great kindness and endurance, how can we save today's Chinese people? In the process of clarifying the truth to Chinese people, my compassion has gradually increased.
Whether it's the hot summer or cold winter, we're always there, distributing materials and smiling. One day in early winter, it suddenly started raining hard. The rain soaked and then froze my clothes and the banners. My attachment to comfort then emerged, and I really wanted to go home and get warm and dry. But I kept standing there to save people. One day, a practitioner who had been saving people in front of the consulate for over ten years suddenly felt uncomfortable and really wanted to go home. But she suddenly remembered Master's poem,
"A Great Enlightened One fears no hardship
Having forged an adamantine will"
(“Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions” from Hong Yin Vol. II)
When she couldn't recite the poem, she immediately realized it was a hint from Master, and she then eliminated the interference and stayed to continue clarifying the truth. Another practitioner, an elderly lady, said that after she clarified the truth to a Chinese tourist, he wished to shake hands with her. After shaking hands, he said, "Your hand is so cold!"
Actually, the practitioner had been standing in the -18°C (about 0°F) for two hours! Some Chinese people scolded us and said, "We are able to travel abroad but you are distributing the newspaper here." Some Chinese felt sympathetic. A young girl asked me, "Aren't you hungry?" Because at that time she was heading to the dining hall with other members of the tour group. Perhaps she could see and feel my hardship. Actually, every time it seemed hard, I told myself, "How lucky we are to be able to stand here! We are doing the most meaningful thing in this universe! All the gods in the universe admire us." Then I'm happy.
2. Eager to Save People
We distribute many truth-clarifying materials every day in front of the Chinese Consulate. Master always leads people who have predestined relationships to us. Many passersby stop and read the banners and materials, and some sign the petition condemning the CCP's harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
Chinese tour groups pass the Chinese Consulate every day. On some days, four or five buses come. It seems that most Chinese travelers want the materials. When the people in the front accept them, almost everyone behind takes them. If the people in front don't take them, the people behind don't take them either. Some tour guides or delegation leaders tell people not to take the materials, otherwise they'll be video taped and encounter problems when they return to China, so then few people dare to take them. In that case we tell them directly about the persecution and the CCP's brutality, including the live organ harvesting and torture. We tell them why disasters keep occurring. We also tell them that understanding the truth is the only way to be saved. Some Chinese people do the three withdrawals right in front of the Chinese Consulate.
When I'm standing alone in front of the consulate, I'm sometimes surrounded by many Chinese people whose minds have been poisoned by the CCP propaganda. When I'm anxious and worried, I ask Master to strengthen me. Usually I send forth righteous thoughts first to eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions, and walk to the bus. I greet the drivers politely, hand the English materials to them, and ask to board the bus to distribute the materials. In most cases they agree. I place the materials on each seat and sincerely thank the driver when I leave.
One time, with permission from the driver and tour guide, I boarded a bus full of Chinese travelers and began to distribute materials from the front seats. Everyone accepted the materials and began reading. A woman in her fifties rudely said, "Falun Gong even distributes materials on the bus!" Since no one agreed with her, she felt awkward and didn't say anything else. When I offered her the materials, she accepted them. But there were not enough materials for the last three rows, so I went and fetched more. Everyone on the bus got the materials. As I watched the bus leaving slowly, I understood that Master had prepared everything. Our part is saving people with our righteous thoughts.
3. People Support Us
Many people support us. The police officers standing guard nearby always greet us smilingly when we pass them to hang up the banners. Many passersby ask us if we have new materials, and some give us the thumbs-up sign. People sometimes bring us food, flowers, or wish us well. Some try to give us money, which we always politely decline. One day in winter, when I was distributing in the cold wind along with a Western practitioner, a car stopped in front of us. A neatly dressed middle-age man got out of the car, took several hand-warming bags from the trunk and warmed them up, then put them on our hands. We thanked him and gave him truth clarifying materials. He looked at us admiringly and left.
One time, when I finished sending righteous thoughts and opened my eyes, I saw a young, Western man walking by quietly, tiptoeing, trying not to disturbed us. I was very moved. Furthermore, another young Western man not only accepted the truth materials and actively tried to learn the truth about the CCP's crimes, but also helped us distribute materials and clarify the truth. He also came to the park where we practice, and learned the five sets of exercises. After that, on some Sundays he came and joined us in front of the Chinese Consulate, and took the petition back home and asked his mother to sign.
Some tour guides also have understood the truth. When Chinese travelers refuse to accept the truth materials, they tell them, "Just take them and read." They also let us distribute materials on the buses.
One day, a delegation leader did not accept the materials and refused to listen to me. She yelled at the people behind her and ordered them not to take the materials. I said, “Everybody makes his or her own choices, which is our human right endowed by Heaven. Although she was shouting, several Chinese people behind her accepted the newspaper without hesitation. Some of them even said, "Yes, Heaven will destroy the CCP!" Some of the people expressed sincere appreciation when they accepted the newspaper.
4. Nothing Can Block Us
I started clarifying the truth in front of the Chinese Consulate not long ago. Those who have been doing it there for over ten years are really admirable! Almost all of them also participate in other projects. Some of them need to work, study, and take care of children or the elderly in the family. They all arrange their schedules and persist in saving people here, despite extremely cold weather or having to deal with frustrating situations.
Many Western practitioners have joined us to save people in front of the Chinese Consulate. Some of them have learned some Chinese, and can tell the Chinese travelers in Chinese, "Please read the truth newspaper." They play the witness recording of the live organ harvesting, or use other approaches to encourage the Chinese people to listen to the truth.
More and more fellow practitioners are joining us. Some say, "We must come here." We will continue our peaceful protest until the persecution ends. The practitioners arrested in China are still being tortured, and the demonic live organ harvesting is still going on. People deluded by the CCP are waiting for us to save them. There's not much time left. Master is providing the last chance for sentient beings in the old Universe. The significance of saving people from being destroyed is beyond words.
How glorious it is for us to be able to be Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification period, and to assist Master in the Fa-rectification and salvation of sentient beings! Nothing can block us!

Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners! Heshi.
