(Minghui.org) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for over 20 years, and deeply feel the urgency of Fa rectification, and the precious time to save sentient beings. In my efforts to help people learn about Falun Dafa and the persecution, I decided to distribute copies of the journal Minghui Weekly.
Minghui Weekly is rich with varied content, and can be suitable for all manor of people.
Nowadays, there are people of all ages on the street handing out different types of fliers and leaflets, advertising and promoting all kinds of things. So I thought that there was no need to distribute truth-clarifying materials in secret. I do it openly and with dignity. I believe that this approach can display the purity and wonder Dafa, and make it more easily accepted.
There are surveillance cameras all over the place, but as long as we have righteous thoughts and actions, those things will be useless and will not work on Dafa practitioners.
I have noticed, especially this year, that with the progress of Fa-rectification, more and more people are ask for Minghui Weekly.
Study the Fa Well; Send Righteous Thoughts
To be able to help Master save people and send strong righteous thoughts, we must study the Fa well.
I usually study the Fa in the morning. Even if I need to leave home early to go to the farmers' market, I still study the Fa for a little while first.
Before I leave home, I always stand in front of Master’s picture and ask for his blessing: “Master, your disciple is going out to distribute materials. Please help me, and send those with a predestined relationship to me. Thank you, Master!”
I send righteous thoughts on the way to my destination, to eliminate all of the old force elements in other dimensions that are controlling sentient beings.
I also have a wish that the knowing side of people wake up and let those with predestined relationships come to pick up the truth-clarifying materials, and let those CCP ruffians [police and surveillance cameras] not see me.
After sending righteous thoughts, I recite Master's Fa.
“I am rooted in the universe. If anyone could harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
“Dafa is not leaving the bodyZhen Shan Ren is held in the heartA great Arhat in the worldSpirits and ghosts greatly fear” (“Mighty Virtue,” Hong Yin)
“Should you have fear,it will seize upon youIf thoughts are righteous,evil will collapseThe cultivator’s mindis loaded with FaSend righteous thoughts,and rotten demons explodeGods walk the earth,validating the Fa” (“What’s to Fear?”, Hong Yin Vol. II)
I continued to send righteous thoughts and kept reciting the Fa. I could feel that my whole body was full of energy when I spoke to people about Dafa and handed out the journals.
I still sent righteous thoughts on my way home. My thought was to let those who have received the materials read them carefully, understand the truth, choose a bright future for themselves, and pass the materials on to their friends and relatives so that they can be saved as well.
Different Times and Places
I often go to places where there are a lot of people, such as near traffic lights and crosswalks, in front of large supermarkets, bus terminals and train stations. Weekends are always busy periods.
I walk around and distribute the materials to passersby, or I may stay in one place for a short time to hand them out.
In the morning, I mainly go to the farmers' markets. In the summer evenings, I go where people are hanging around plazas to cool off and relax.
I also distribute materials near school campuses or bus stations according to the school hours.
I don't go to the same places every day, and continually vary my route for safety reasons. Although I have strong righteous thoughts, I still need to be wary of my safety.
Reactions from Everyday People
When people realized that I was handing them materials about Falun Dafa, I often got positive comments. One person said, “It’s about Falun Dafa! That’s great! Please give me two copies, so I can give it to my friend.”
Some even told me how to keep safe. Some didn't walk away immediately after getting the materials, and opened them to take a look.
However, some gave it back to me, with one person commenting, “It’s about Falun Dafa. I don’t want it.”
No matter what happened, I always remained calm, polite and kept smiling.
Distributing Minghui Weekly
I was standing near a pedestrian crossing one hot afternoon, when a man in his 40s with sweat dripping from his brow, hurried in my direction. In order not to miss any predestined person, I greeted him and offered him a journal.
He took it like receiving a treasure. He then turned around and walked back in the direction he came from. Apparently, he had just come to get a copy of Minghui Weekly.
I was once handing out copies of the journal near a school, where there was only one way in and out. There were a lot of parents waiting outside that day.
I distributed the materials while walking in. When I came back, I saw a lady reading the journal I had just given her.
She looked up and saw me passing by. She said to me, “This is about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance!”
I said yes, and took the opportunity to tell her more about Dafa.
Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions
Master said,
“The old forces don't dare to oppose our clarifying the truth or saving sentient beings. What's key is to not let them take advantage of the gaps in your state of mind when you do things.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston”, Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. II)
When I distribute Minghui Weekly, I have gratitude to the divine, and compassion to sentient beings in my mind.
One day, everything was going well, and the materials I had with me were almost gone. I only had one left. At this point, my attachment of zealotry arose.
I started to think about what I would do next after the last one was gone. However, several people passed, and the last copy of the journal was still in my hand.
I became alert: I shouldn't have the attachment of zealotry. I asked for Master’s help, and soon the last copy was taken.
A few days ago, I had a thought: “My child is going to marry, and we will have a wedding soon. Should I stop going out to distribute materials for a few days, just in case I got arrested?”
As soon as this thought arose, I realized that this “fear” was not from my true self. Master has suffered so much to repeatedly extend the time of Fa-rectification, so Dafa practitioners can fulfill their vows and save more sentient beings. How can I hide at home because of fear of being persecuted?
Those whom I should save may never get another chance to be saved. I have Master and Dafa! What should I be afraid of? So I continued my routine to distribute the materials.
When handing out the journals, sometimes I was ridiculed, scolded, and even threatened with being reported to the police.
However, I wasn't moved, and kept sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the old forces. I knew nothing bad would happen.
In the process of distributing Minghui Weekly, I have constantly cultivated myself and eliminated all kinds of attachments, such as to competition, fear, losing face, zealotry, impatience, and the attachment to doing things.
I feel my xinxing has been constantly improving and coming more in-line with the Fa principles.
Thank you Master!
Thank you fellow practitioners!
