(Mingui.org) I joined the global telephone rescue platform nine months ago. During that time, I witnessed the incredible power of the platform for clarifying the truth, saving sentient beings, and rescuing Dafa disciples persecuted in China. I am grateful that I can melt into this cultivation environment and improve in cultivation every day.
I made a phone call during the New Year, and the woman who answered was very rude. She hung up after I said my New Year’s greeting.
I called her back and said I was calling from outside China and wished her to stay safe. I also told her about the nine auspicious words (“Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good”). She responded, “Are you a Falun Gong practitioner? Stop calling me.” She then hung up.
From her tone, I could tell that she was deeply poisoned by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda, so I dialed the number a third time. To remove her misunderstanding of Falun Dafa as soon as possible, I first talked about the “self-immolation hoax.” She became angry and agitated after hearing my words and started yelling, “Don’t call anymore, go away!” She hung up again.
As I thought about this woman. I could feel the pain of her life because she was deceived by the CCP’s propaganda so deeply. I felt very sorry for her and I wanted to let her know the facts about Falun Dafa.
I dialed her number for a fourth time, and she answered the call. I apologized sincerely to her and said, “I am sorry for disturbing you. It seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is a Buddha school cultivation way. It is dangerous to hold hatred toward it. I worry about you, so I am calling again. I will talk quickly and won’t take up too much of your time.”
I told her that Falun Dafa’s teachings strictly forbid killing. In Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, and in other teachings, the founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, told practitioners,
“For practitioners, we have set the strict requirement that they cannot kill lives.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)
I told her that in “Fa-Teaching Given at the Conference in Sydney”, Mr. Li Hongzhi also said, “… so suicide is sinful.”
I asked her how a true practitioner could possibly commit suicide [Editor’s note: The suicide reference concerns the Tiananmen self-immolation hoax, in which the CCP staged a self-immolation event to frame Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners]. I said that a person who commits suicide is not a true Falun Dafa practitioner.
I suggested she read the book Zhuan Falun to learn about Falun Dafa for herself. I also told her Falun Dafa has been spread to more than 100 countries, with a hundred million followers worldwide.
When I continued to talk to her about the destructive nature of the CCP, she did not want to listen. She said, “Why have so many people died from the pandemic in the United States, but so few people died in China?” And she hung up again.
I realized that there were knots in her heart. So I called her a fifth time. I again apologized, “I’m sorry to bother you.” I told her, “Many people say our phone calls are life-saving calls. So I will feel very sad and blame myself if I cannot help you know the facts and stay safe.”
Her attitude changed completely this time. She told me about herself and was willing to listen to me. I told her the persecution of Falun Dafa is a crime against humanity. It is worse than what the Nazis did.
I told her that 17 years after the tragic SARS outbreak, the CCP continues to cover up information. I told her that the exact death toll in Wuhan and all of China are still unknown due to the cover-up by CCP authorities. More evidence, including the number of urns released to families of virus victims, seemed to suggest at least 40,000 deaths in Wuhan alone.
She kept listening quietly and then asked me to play Dafa songs for her. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any available right then, so I gave her a few websites from which she could download the songs.
I kept a calm state during the whole conversation, and did not respond to her emotion.
Master said:
“I think that for you, Dafa disciples, if each of you uses simply your mouth to tell the people in each region the facts, then we won’t get to all of them. The energy Dafa disciples carry as they cultivate and stick to righteous thoughts and actions, as well as the mighty virtue from their cultivation, have an additional effect.” (“Teachings at the 2004 International Conference in New York”)
“As a matter of fact, if your thoughts are very righteous, when you walk down the street and go about your life in the city where you live, all of your surroundings will be cleansed.” (“Teachings at the 2004 International Conference in New York”)
Making phone calls eliminates the evil in other dimensions and helps practitioners regularly think about their cultivation state. In a peaceful environment outside of China, making phone calls on this platform can remove our attachment to comfort and help us be diligent in cultivation together.
I also realized that we must think and behave according to the Fa, including small things in everyday life. Only by studying the Fa more and melting into the Fa can we maintain righteous thoughts all the time. Only when we solidly cultivate ourselves can we remain calm and make the phone calls with compassion to save sentient beings.
