(Minghui.org) I have been sending text messages to Chinese people for the past few years, to tell them about the persecution of Falun Dafa, and to encourage them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
More people are developing positive understandings about Falun Dafa. Many have expressed their respect for the peaceful efforts by Dafa practitioners to counteract the persecution.
Many Chinese people have renounced their memberships in the CCP upon learning about the horrific extent of its brutality. This is the result of our improvement, and use of more advanced technology in our efforts to help people understand the persecution.
One person, whom I helped to quit the CCP, sent me several text messages to thank me. “I feel that you are a very important person in my life,” he wrote, and “You brought good fortune to me.”
He explained that he had received my message while he was working in isolation. Feeling bored and lonely, my message, which asked him to quit the CCP and wished him a safe future, cheered him up. He felt inspired and touched.
I explained to the man how he could break through the great Internet firewall, and asked him to spread the information he learned to his friends.
I was about to discard a phone card that had run out of credit when I discovered that I could still make calls with it. A message on my phone said someone had refilled the card with 10 yuan.
I later received a call from an elderly woman. She told me that she had received my message but didn't understand it. She tried to call me, but a voice message told her that the call could not go through because there was no credit left on my phone card. She refilled my card in order to call me.
I explained to her why she should quit the CCP, some basic facts about Falun Dafa, and the ways the CCP had persecuted Dafa. She was surprised.
She said she had never joined the CCP, so I asked her to remember, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She was very happy and asked me to stay in touch with her.
In addition to supportive messages, I have also received messages where people insulted me.
One person told me I was foolish for asking people to quit the CCP. I told him that I sent those messages from my heart and I wasn't seeking any personal gain. I said I was using my own time and money to help him understand the situation in China, and that quitting the CCP would bring him good fortune. After I explained myself in this way his attitude completely changed and he took the matter very seriously.
When people are awakened, their true nature will seek the truth.
I spoke to other practitioners who also send text messages to Chinese people, and we found that we all send unique messages that work well for ourselves. They are like our own keys to move people's hearts.
For example, one practitioner received many replies after sending a few different text messages during the Chinese New Year. When I tried sending the same messages several of my phone cards were blocked and disabled. I enlightened that I should write my own messages instead of relying on fellow practitioners.
The message I wrote myself worked very well for me. The reply rate was a record high. I sent the messages when I was on a bus. People kept calling me. One person called me three times. I originally didn't want to pick up the phone because I didn't want people on the bus to overhear, as it could compromise my safety, but I also didn't want to disappoint that person who was calling. I answered his call and talked with him for a while. He happily quit the CCP and kept thanking me.
I answered quite a few phone calls that day. I was so busy answering the phone calls and replying to messages that I didn't turn the phone off until almost 10:00 p.m. When I turned the phone on the next morning, I had received more messages, and many more people agreed to quit the CCP.
However, when other practitioners used the same messages, they didn't receive the same number of positive responses that I did. I came to the understanding that each text message was also a life, and a tool that only works for ourselves.
The only problem with my text message was that it was a seasonal message for the New Year. I hoped to create a more general version to use throughout the year. With the wish to awaken sentient beings, Master helped me. Before long, I had written another message which was very straightforward, and I felt had a better delivery. This message resulted in the highest number of people quitting the CCP.
My success with these text messages is built upon the efforts of other practitioners’ years of distributing truth-clarification materials and talking to people face-to-face. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help people understand the facts about Dafa and quit the CCP with such a short text message.
It is important to keep a peaceful mind when sending text messages. One time I had a fight with my husband, and instead of looking within, I became very emotional and complained about him. My state of mind was reflected in the responses to my text messages.
One person who had already agreed to quit the CCP sent a vilifying condemnation to me, which was totally different from his previous response. Besides him, most of the responses I received that day were negative. I truly experienced how my state of mind affected the people around me.
From then on, whenever I sent text messages, I took some time to adjust myself, and make sure I had a clean and pure mind so I would not experience interference.
On my cultivation path, I have truly felt that Master's presence is with me all the time, protecting and encouraging me.
People are longing to awaken to their divine sides. We can help them with our truth-clarifying efforts.
