(Minghui.org) My husband and I came to visit our daughter overseas in 2009. I was not used to the lifestyle here and felt lost, as there were no other Falun Dafa practitioners around. I did not drive and could only stay home, reade the Minghui website, do the exercises, and study the Fa every day.
There weren't many Chinese people in my area, so I could only contact a few friends of my daughter. I seldom clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to people. Out of fear, my daughter didn't allow me to go out to talk to people and actually told her friends: “My mom is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Please help persuade her not to practice it.”
One day, one of her friends tried to convince me to believe in a religion and not to practice Falun Dafa. She added that there are people here who specialize in collecting information about Falun Dafa and implied that it was dangerous to practice it.
I told her, “Since I started practicing Falun Dafa, I've benefited a great deal, both physically and mentally. Falun Dafa teaches people to be good and to be kind to others. If you believe Falun Dafa is good, you'll be blessed.”
“It's because of Falun Dafa that I've become so healthy. I owe Dafa and Master Li a great debt of gratitude.” While speaking, I couldn’t help crying. Having heard this, my daughter was silent. Later she said to me, “You carry on practicing, since it is so good. I won’t try to persuade you anymore.”
I had contact with only a few Chinese people. Later on, I thought, “If I can find a job, I will have more contact with people. This way, I will have an opportunity to clarify the truth to people with a predestined relationship. How good that would be!” Since I had such a wish, Master indeed made an arrangement for me.
One day, my daughter came home and said, "Mom, one of my friends is going back to China to visit her relatives. There will be no one to look after her clothing store while she is away. Can you help take care of it for a month?” I agreed immediately.
After I started working in the clothing store for one month, I came across two Chinese people. I clarified the truth to one of them and persuaded her to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. The time passed quickly!
The boss came back and was very pleased, saying the clothing was selling well. I used to have some contact with her when she came to my daughter’s house for dinner. I don't know why I didn’t have a good impression of her then. She didn’t seem like a decent person. For this reason, I failed to clarify the truth to her. The time passed quickly, and I went back to China before my visa expired.
My husband and I came abroad to visit my daughter again in 2014. By this time, my daughter had relocated to a small town because of her job.
When Easter came, my daughter had four days off. She told me, “Mom, there will be a visitor living here for a few days.” I asked: “Who’s coming?”
She answered: “Shasha, the boss of that clothing store.” Upon hearing this, my aversion to her suddenly arose: “Why is she coming?”
In a moment, I thought, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, so why do I have such an attachment? My mission is to help save people. She must be someone with a predestined relationship. She is coming for me, and it is Master who has arranged for her to be saved. I will save her by clarifying the truth to her and won’t miss this opportunity.” Happily, my daughter and I had delicious food ready and were expecting her arrival.
After she arrived, Shasha told us, “I'm not selling clothes anymore, but doing business selling properties in a firm. It's not easy to do this sort of business.” Using this topic as a starting point, I clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to her and told her why she should quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I also told her, “If you believe ‘Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,' you'll be blessed, and everything will go more smoothly.”
She told me twice, “Please help me quickly to withdraw from the CCP’s affiliated organizations. I previously joined the Youth League and Young Pioneers.” I was so happy for her. It is Master who saved her. Thank you, Master.
Shasha went back for a period of time. One day, my daughter said, “Mom, I got a call from Shasha. She was so pleased to tell me that she made a lot of money by selling six properties since she returned from our place.” I felt happy for her. She has been blessed because she believes “Falun Dafa is good” and because she withdrew from the CCP’s affiliated organizations.
On Christmas day in 2015, Shasha and her friends came to my daughter’s house for a visit. As soon as she arrived, she came to see me. After we chatted for a little while, she told me: “I put property ads in both The Epoch Times and Homeland.”
I said: “Have you? That's very good! How's your business?”
“The business is running very smoothly. Many wonderful things have taken place. The properties have also been selling very quickly after I put an ad in Homeland. I am the only Chinese working for this firm. Both locals and Chinese people come to me to sell or buy properties.”
“Some properties wouldn’t sell for a few years, but once I started to sell them, they sold in a month.”
“One of my colleagues also wanted to sell his property in Homeland, asking me if it was alright. I told him, ‘Believe me, Homeland is very good.’
He continued: ‘Someone told me not to place an ad in this newspaper and advised me to put it in another newspaper.’
I told him: ‘Both Homeland and The Epoch Times are very good. I've been to their companies where the staff are very kind and helpful. Anyway, I believe in them.’ So he listened to me and didn’t put his ad in another newspaper.
Someone else who gave advice to my colleague put his ad in another newspaper, which closed down in a short time. On the contrary, our business is getting better and better. We had the top-rated sales team in the region this year. So I signed a one-year contract with both Homeland and The Epoch Times.”
Having heard all this, I was really happy for her, saying, “You've been blessed because you believe in and support Falun Dafa. I hope you'll continue to support Dafa. That will bring great merit.”
She responded: “Actually, I haven’t done anything but believe, ‘Falun Dafa is good.’”
Before leaving, she was still saying: "It's amazing." The friends who came together with Shasha agreed. I then helped them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
After Shasha and her friends left, I thought to myself, “While clarifying the truth, we can never miss a person with a predestined relationship simply due to our own prejudices. They have come for Dafa and have become aware of the facts, so they will do what they are supposed to do to spread the truth. So we must cherish every opportunity to save people. All this is arranged by Master, who never neglects a person with a predestined relationship.”
