Letting Go of Self and Making Phone Calls to China

Oct. 24, 2016 |   By a Dafa practitioner in the United States

(Minghui.org) For over a year, I have been making phone calls to China to clarify the truth to police officers.

Because of my human notions, I was worried that I might be scolded, or that the phone call might be disconnected, and the efficiency might be low even if a call went through. I was timid, and only played the prerecorded messages in the beginning. After learning some skills from fellow practitioners, I slowly let go of my timidity and intensified my righteous thoughts. I was finally able to make phone calls at home by myself.

Through studying the Fa and looking inward, I identified my attachments of competitiveness, resentment, revenge, and sentimentality. I also realized that my mentality was not pure enough while making phone calls, so the evil was able to take advantage of this loophole to interfere. After these attachments were removed, my results improved.

Clarified the Facts to Police Officers

In “FaTeaching Given at the 2015 New York Fa Conference”, Master said,

“Here’s what I think. Saving people should be at the heart of what Dafa disciples do. As I talked about earlier, a lot of people, whether they be officials, police officers, or whatnot, have been poisoned by the lies. Those specific beings are not wicked, actually; the beings themselves are not wicked officials. [Some of] those beings may actually be very good ones, but have been misled after being instilled with the lies of the wicked Party culture, and were thereby driven to do what they did.”

Master also said,

“But whatever the case, we should try to save whoever we can, including these people. You might not be aware of it, but the person you see now acting so evilly might have once upon a time been a holy divine figure in the heavens, and he is now here as a human, having come to this earth to gain this Fa.”

As the Fa-rectification moves ahead, we Dafa practitioners must widen our focus to include people working in the government, as well as the judicial and public security sectors.

We have told many police officers the facts about the lawsuits against former dictator Jiang Zemin and about the recent purges of high-ranking officials. Fewer and fewer officers curse us out now; more and more officers are rationally accepting the truth.

I would not have dared to talk to police officers when I thought that they were a group of hopeless beings that would not listen to reason. But my attitude changed because they actually are also victims of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Calling Judicial Staff

I have a lasting impression of one phone call that I made to the Beijing Pinggu Court.

A woman answered the call. She quietly listened to the facts for more than eight minutes. When I make a phone call, I always pay attention to the other person's reaction. In this phone call, I was not sure if she was listening. At the end, I asked her if she understood what I said. I also told her that she should get any burden off her chest so that she doesn't weigh down her conscience.

This woman gently responded that she fully understood the facts. She told me that she was a Chinese Communist Party member and asked me to help her quit the party.

I am truly happy for a life who declares her position positively. I also remind myself all the time not to let my human notions block sentient beings' hope of salvation.

Calling Healthcare Workers

The healthcare system is another isolated sector. People working in healthcare are often busy and hardly answer phone calls. They are hindered by modern science and medicine, and often don't see the value of an individual human life. They are deeply poisoned by the CCP and have ignorantly helped the regime persecute Dafa practitioners. They've also benefited greatly under the CCP.

To help this group understand the facts, we must maintain a state of compassion and lay everything out for them rationally. We must watch our every move and cultivate ourselves well. We must eliminate the evil and ignore our own bad human notions and any illusions placed before us.

Once, a person at the Shanghai Changzheng Hospital answered my call. He arrogantly said that the hospital transplanted organs every day and killed Dafa practitioners for them. He also slandered Dafa.

I kept calm and reminded myself that I shouldn't be affected by his attitude. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate evil factors behind him and then seriously told him how the CCP officials have harvested organs from living practitioners. I also told him the facts about the karmic retribution experienced by the CCP's high-ranking officials, and the spread of Falun Gong worldwide.

This person quietly listened for almost seven minutes.

At the end, he said, “I now understand the truth. I will pay more attention in the future.”

Rescuing Fellow Practitioners

Many practitioners have been arrested for filing lawsuits against Jiang's regime. Having worked together with broadcasting groups, our group has made numerous phone calls and rescued dozens of practitioners. One such case is as follows:

Four Beijing practitioners were arrested by the police on August 30. They were detained separately at Dongcheng Detention Center and Beijing Public Security Hospital. On September 1, practitioners in China informed us of the arrests and asked that we, as overseas practitioners, help with the rescue.

I immediately coordinated with other practitioners and started work on the rescue. We first contacted families of the arrested practitioners to understand the status and obtain phone numbers of those in charge of the arrest. On September 2, we listed phone numbers to be dialed and produced special broadcasting tapes telling people of the arrest.

We then called the responsible departments for several days and nights, asking them to stop the persecution and release the practitioners. We also tried to save those officers who can be saved.

By September 30, all four practitioners were released. During the phone calls, a few conscientious officers even quit the CCP. Many promised to treat Dafa practitioners kindly within their capacities.

I realize that as long as we have compassion and kind thoughts, we can meet the standards of Dafa, disintegrate evil, and save lost beings.
