(Minghui.org) If Fa-rectification were to end tomorrow, you would go door to door to spread the truth tonight. Master once said: “Were it really to end now, you would all have regrets.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Epoch Times Meeting”)
In the past I have thought: “Why isn’t it over yet? If it ended now, those who have laughed at us would have a surprise, and they would regret it.” Sometimes I felt it was hard to save sentient beings. At times I wished that Fa-rectification would be over just to shock those who mocked us and to eliminate those who have been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Now when I look back, those thoughts and sentiments all came my human attachments. I wanted to hold a grudge against them.
In fact, whether one can be saved or not depends on Master. Maybe he is not saved this time, but don’t create an attachment to it. Instead, keep your benevolent thoughts and say goodbye to him. If he is not saved this time, he could be saved next time.
It is because they made an oath that they ventured to come down from heaven. It is just because they have a predestined relationship with you that they encounter you today. It’s because he places a lot of trust in you that he was willing to come as an ordinary person and be arranged by the old forces to be poisoned by the CCP and leave you the honor of being a Dafa disciple. But when he walked toward you on the street, you didn’t stop him and tell the truth to him. If he were a Dafa disciple, and you were an ordinary person, wouldn't you expect the same from him?
Often I would see a fellow disciple talking to someone while walking with the person, and the disciple didn’t care if the person paid attention to him or not. I saw the disciple returning like a general who had a victory in a battle. Clarifying the truth isn’t an ordinary job.
In order to save someone, we must try to get along with them. We can also prepare to clarify the truth in a variety of ways and with an array of materials. For example, if you meet someone on the street who has a child, you may give him a booklet and tell him there are many stories good for children in it and that he can read them to his child. If you meet someone in a rush, tell him not to believe the propaganda of the CCP.
Sometimes if you tell people to quit the CCP in an abstract way, they may not be able to comprehend what you are talking about. You may try to refer to something specific. For example, you may ask him: “Have you ever worn the red scarf?” Sometimes when I say it this way, people turn around, which suggests they have. Then you may tell them how important it is to quit the CCP. Little children may like materials with more graphics, and you may prepare some truth-clarifying materials with graphics for them. You may prepare some balloons with truth-clarification messages on them so that everyone will see it when kids walk around with it.
Some people have a misunderstanding of us. They may think we are forcing them to learn Dafa. For these people, you may just tell them: “We only want to tell people the truth about the CCP to help them stay away from it.” Others may think that we are trying to overthrow the CCP. We may be trapped in an argument with these people about whether the evil CCP is going to collapse or not. When this happens, do not let them drag you into an argument. But you may tell them that we just want him to stay away from the CCP. Tell them the risk of believing the CCP's propaganda about Falun Dafa and that we are not interested in overthrowing the CCP.
