(Minghui.org) As the coronavirus spread throughout China, most cities were quarantined. People had time to ponder questions like, “Why did this plague happen?” “Why did it start in Wuhan?” “Why is it that the virus kills some people, but skips others?” “What’s value of money and fame in the face of the plague?”
People were willing to accept Falun Dafa practitioners' suggestions on how to survive the epidemic and the truth about the persecution. Some people, including some who had quit the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) organizations, hadn’t completely learned facts about Falun Dafa. This is a good opportunity for them to learn the truth at a deeper level.
Although some practitioners think the quarantine blocked their ability to clarify the truth, most places allow residents to go in and out. This unexpected change in the environment gives us opportunities to change our notions. Some practitioners never distributed truth-clarification materials in their own areas, fearing that they'd be reported. I feel this is a selfish notion that has blocked us from saving our neighbors.
Master clearly told us,
“You are cultivators, whose conduct is [supposed to be] pure and righteous. There are so many people who think you're great just by having seen how you act.” (Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston, Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. II)
If we can follow Master’s teachings and enable people to see our compassion through our behavior and words, they will accept the truth.
When we can’t go out, we should clarify the truth to our families, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.
Most people in my residential area know that I practice Falun Dafa because the police have searched my home. I've distributed truth-clarification materials to every household in my area, and few people have discarded them. They actually seem to be waiting for these materials and afterwards I've heard people discuss the contents. I've also given my neighbors software to break through the Internet censors. They were happy to receive it.
Master told us,
“You are not here to change history, but rather, to save people at this most dangerous time in history, by raising awareness, persuading people to withdraw from China’s three major communist organizations, encouraging people to sincerely say the magic words, and so on. All of these are the best medicine possible, the best way to rescue people—when people’s morals change, things will change for the better.” (Stay Rational) (Team Yellow Translation)
If every Falun Dafa practitioner could remember their responsibility to save sentient beings under any circumstance, no quarantine can stop us.
