(Minghui.org) I am 67 years old and started cultivating Falun Dafa in August 2003. Because I started later than many other practitioners, I wanted to catch up, so I spent a lot of time studying and memorizing the Fa. As I cultivated, I looked inward to see if I conducted myself according to the requirements of Falun Dafa. Since my spouse passed away, I have lived alone. Trying to do the three things well is all I do every day.
Although I distributed a lot of truth clarification materials, I never talked about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa to people in public.
After extensive Fa study, I started to do that as I delivered brochures last May. I also distributed software that allows people to break through the CCP’s Internet firewall. Master has paved my cultivation path; I only need to walk it. Now, whether I distribute materials or put up posters, I do it out in the open during the day. I wish to share a few of the many touching experiences I have had.
One time I explained the truth about Falun Dafa to a vegetable peddler. He said he had never joined any Communist Party organization. I recommended that he read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
When he asked how much it cost, I said, “If you want to read it, it's free.” He took the book and then asked me to take a bag of tomatoes.
I told him, “Growing vegetables isn’t easy. You need to sell them to make money. Good luck.” He thanked me.
Another time when I was out distributing materials, I saw a man in a nearby car. I knocked on his window and said, “Hi, sorry to bother you. Do you have a computer at home?”
“I do. What do you want to give me?” I gave him the software to break through the CCP Internet firewall. He seemed very pleased.
It was almost noon and he asked, “You haven't had lunch, have you? I'll buy you a pancake.” I thought he was kidding, but he said, “I’m not joking. I truly respect people like you who practice Falun Dafa. You are amazing!”
Another time I explained the facts to an elderly man who was a CCP member. I asked him if he had done the “three withdrawals” (renouncing his membership in any of the three communist organizations: the CCP, Youth League, or Young Pioneers).
I said, “The CCP gained power by killing people, and it has maintained its tyranny with lies. It has killed over 80 million Chinese in its political movements. It killed college students who appealed to the government, and it has persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners. It harvests organs from living practitioners' for profit. The CCP has done so many evil things. Don't you think that heaven will punish it? Have you heard there is a giant rock in Guizhou Province with six characters that foretell the future? Can you guess what it says?”
I stopped talking, and he asked, “What do they say?”
“’The Chinese Communist Party collapses,’” I replied. “This is an act of heaven. Won't people who joined its organizations suffer along with it? That means that people should declare that they have quit its organizations, separating themselves from it to secure their futures.” He nodded and agreed to quit the Party.
I also recommended the Nine Commentaries to him. He asked if I had a copy. I said, “I gave you one.” He seemed very pleased and placed a bag of ripe apricots in my bike basket. I asked, “What are you doing?”
“You did such great things for me and gave me the book,” he said. “I don't have anything for you in return. The fruit was from my children; you take it.” I was moved by his kindness. Sentient beings are waiting for the truth. I heard gratitude from deep in the heart of someone who had been rescued by Dafa. I further realized how important a Dafa disciple's mission is and how merciful our Master is. I had to take the apricots since I could not disdain his generosity.
When I went to a village to put up posters, a man standing next to an electricity pole watched me. As I neared his pole, I hesitated, but that pole was in a good spot. Many people would see my poster, and I thought I should not miss that opportunity.
I begged Master in my heart to re-enforce my righteous thoughts and eliminate the evil factors behind the man. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate any evil in other dimensions, and I walked up to the pole and put a poster on it.
The man said, “It's a hot day. You’re sweating so much your clothes are wet. How much do you get paid to do this?”
I replied, “The evil CCP uses money to influence and control people. We do things with our hearts. We listen to what our master says, and we want people to know the truth and survive the catastrophe. No matter how hard it is to help others, it is worth it for us to do it.”
He said, “Now I understand why Falun Dafa cannot be suppressed. You are great.”
I have had many more interactions like this. It shows how eager sentient beings are to be saved.
