(Minghui.org) Master’s comment “You Are Annoying People, Not Saving Them” reminded me of the following three stories.
A local practitioner once shared how she handed out Falun Gong calendars to people. She said that in order to save people quickly, she knocked at each house and told them she was their neighbor and wanted to give them a free calendar.
She stressed that in a big city, people do not know their neighbors, so they would not bother to verify if she was really their neighbor. She used this method to give out the calendars for a long time, and other practitioners began doing the same.
This same practitioner recently held another experience-sharing conference and everyone there was arrested. The practitioner is waiting to be tried.
I would like to point out that the method this practitioner used to give out the calendars did not conform with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and the Fa.
Another practitioner told me how she criticized an everyday person who refused to listen to her talk about Falun Gong.
She said that the person refused to listen to her when she tried to clarify the truth. After this person said some bad words against the practice, the practitioner immediately chased after the person, criticized them, and told them they would receive karmic retribution. The person then called the police, so the practitioner had to leave.
She said her actions were a way of validating the Fa.
A businessman complained to a fellow practitioner that he had seven cell phones, and that practitioners kept calling his phones day and night, leaving automatic voice messages, which annoyed him greatly.
The above practitioner behaviors are due to their not eliminating the Chinese Communist Party culture, and has caused severe damage while doing the three things that Master asks practitioners to do. We should study the Fa more, firmly believe in Master, and look within to eliminate Party culture.
