(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in October 1998. Within a year, the suppression started and we began to tell people about the meditation to debunk the massive hate propaganda.
From Tiananmen Square to local streets, from mailing materials at the post office to telling people around us about Falun Dafa, for 18 years I coordinated with other practitioners.
Below are some of my experiences.
Material Production Site
In 2004 I knew few practitioners, so I began to produce informational materials to let people know about the persecution of Falun Dafa.
It was relatively easy, and I think Master helped us a lot. Just like cultivation, once we improve our xinxing, Master will help us save people. Master wrote in “Unimpeded” in Hong Yin Vol. II,
“The paths of cultivation are variedBut none is outside the Great LawWhen one is attached to nothingThe path underfoot is naturally smooth”
In 2006 I had a dream in which I walked through a gate that led to another passage. Soon afterward I was able to overcome the Internet blockade and access the Minghui website. When I saw how much information was available, I was excited and happy.
In 2009 I purchased a printer that could print CD and DVD covers. From then on I was able to produce multimedia materials about Falun Dafa.
Collaboration
When two practitioners visited in 2011, they showed us how to send multimedia messages, and we acquired another powerful tool for saving people.
In early 2012, a practitioner from a remote area came and later we were able to get in touch with more practitioners. We worked together and started making phone calls to clarify the truth. More local practitioners joined this project, and their cultivation also began to improve.
My understanding is that each practitioner plays an important role in this human society. Just like meridians in the heavenly circuit Master mentioned in Zhuan Falun, as each meridian broadens, it merges with others until there are no gaps.
Tribulation
In July 2014, the police searched my bag at a train station and arrested me. I was able to maintain righteous thoughts. I knew the only thing I was there for was to tell them the facts about Falun Dafa.
From the train station to the police department and the street administration office, I explained to everyone I met why practitioners should not be arrested or mistreated for their belief. I was back home in 7 hours.
However, when I was released I signed a document. This left a loophole, and in November officers threatened to arrest me again and take me to a brainwashing center.
During those days, many people from my workplace and the street administration office came to visit me. I knew that most of them had been influenced by the hate propaganda against Falun Dafa, so I told them why the suppression was wrong.
Most were sympathetic and some said they would not participate in the persecution. Others said that everyone should oppose the suppression. Eventually, they all stopped coming, and the worst one found a different job. (I had talked with him previously, suggesting he find a different job instead of persecuting innocent people.)
Conflicts
Since May 2015, I have been busy helping practitioners file criminal complaints against former communist leader Jiang Zemin for initiating the persecution of Falun Dafa. Several months later I lost contact with one practitioner whom I had worked with closely. He had asked me to prepare over 600 DVDs. Because I could not reach him for two months, I was afraid the DVDs would become outdated.
I kept trying to contact him, but could not find him. Some hinted I had not done well and they did not want to meddle in our “conflict.”
When I recalled what happened, I realized that he did not get what he asked for because all the materials had been distributed to others. Was it my problem?
I did not want to waste the DVDs, so, with help from other practitioners, I was able to distribute all of them by October. Later, when I saw that practitioner again, I apologized right away. His initial comments were harsh. I thought that practitioners should always look within to improve, but I knew he was right because I needed to do better on this.
Having walked my cultivation path all these years, I am sincerely thankful for Master's and other practitioners’ help.
