(Minghui.org) Five years ago I met a group of Falun Dafa practitioners who lived nearby, and we have since cooperated well together in our efforts to inform people about the wonderful cultivation practice of Falun Dafa. The local Fa study group is comprised of about seven people who are all kind, simple, honest, and solid Dafa cultivators. Even after many ups and downs, and tribulations, they all remain firmly on the path of validating the Fa.
Master published a new lecture in November 2021 titled, “Wake Up.” We all realized that the time for telling people about Falun Dafa was running out and we could not slack off. We needed to cultivate ourselves well and help others learn about Dafa.
As a new era quickly approaches, what do we need to do? We have been clarifying the truth and helping people withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. But in addition, we felt that we should assist in the revival of traditional culture, which can eliminate the poison of atheism in the minds of people. In the next historical era, people must return to traditional values and believe in heaven and divine beings.
A few days ago, to keep up with the Fa-rectification process, some fellow practitioners prepared USB flash drives containing the auspicious mantra, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” In Chinese, this “Nine Character Mantra,” which contains exactly nine characters, originates from a divinely-inherited culture. This was a very good idea, but most people in the rural areas do not yet know how to view or listen to content on a USB flash drive. So it was difficult to promote them. One of the practitioners suggested that we buy MP3 players that can play these USB flash drives. We could then give the USB flash drives and MP3 players to people, and suggest they pass them on to others.
Fellow practitioners all agreed and took action immediately. We bought twenty MP3 players, and plugged in the USB flash drives. Fellow practitioners took advantage of the Chinese New Year period, and gave them to relatives and friends while visiting. These people then passed them on to their family and friends. The result was very good.
One lady in her 70s received the MP3 player with the USB flash drive. After listening to it for a few days, she noticed that reciting the “Nine Character Mantra” every day made her feel very comfortable and refreshed. She then remembered her sick daughter, and gave her the devices. Her daughter was lying in bed and had not eaten for several days. The daughter trusted her mother’s words and immediately began to listen to the information about Dafa. When she heard the song “Helping You Overcome the Tribulation” (“Nine Character Mantra”), she felt very good and sang along with it, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good...” The more the daughter sang, the better she felt. She said that while singing the song, it was as if she was in another dimension, and many divine-looking people were singing and smiling at her.
When the song ended, the young woman suddenly got up and wanted to eat. The entire family was very surprised and happy. After the meal, the daughter continued to listen, and in a few days, her health returned to normal. The news of the woman’s recovery spread quickly. Neighbors thought she would not be able to make it and could not believe what they saw. It was truly a miracle!
Because of this miracle, many people in the village wanted to listen to the Dafa information. Two neighbors found a practitioner, who clarified the truth to them in detail, and gave them the MP3 player and USB flash drive. The practitioner suggested that after listening, they could pass these on to their family members, relatives, and friends. They both agreed and repeatedly said “thank you.” The practitioner said, “Don’t thank us. You should really thank Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa.” They expressed their great gratitude toward Master. The fellow practitioner was very touched by this and realized that Master had arranged everything, and we just needed to go and do it.
Another time, it was December 23 on the Chinese traditional calendar, which was one of the holidays before the New Year. It had snowed about half a foot early in the morning, and the snow needed to be cleared. Most people only swept the snow in front of their own doors, but Dafa disciples were different. When a local practitioner was pushing the snow off the road in the middle of the village, he saw a villager in his 60s also clearing the snow nearby. He asked him, “Why did you help by clearing the snow all the way to here? You must be tired.” The villager said, “No need to mention it. After I listened to the contents on the USB you gave me, I understood that people shouldn’t think only about themselves. We should do more good deeds to accumulate virtue. Only by doing so will your Master save us, right?” The Dafa practitioner was very moved. Isn’t this the outcome that our Master wanted us to achieve by clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings?
A fellow practitioner once wanted to give a USB flash drive to a couple who were selling radios that could play the USB media. The husband was about to accept it, but the wife refused it. The practitioner said, “You have the radio, just plug in the USB stick and listen to it. If you understand it, you will be able to stay safe should a catastrophe happen here!” But the wife said, “Our radios are for sale to make a profit. It’s not for us to listen to things.” The practitioner felt a little irritated and thought, “All they think about is making money. They don’t understand that staying safe is much more important. She is so irrational!” She wanted to leave.
But just then she had a second thought, “Am I thinking like an everyday person? I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and my mission is to clarify the truth to save people. Maybe I do not have enough compassion. I must save them!” So she adjusted her attitude and said to them kindly, “Well then, I’ll leave my own radio with the USB flash drive for you. If you listen to it and think it’s good, you can keep the USB and keep listening. If you don’t wish to listen any longer, no problem, I will come back to retrieve the devices.” They accepted them and the practitioner said sincerely, “My wish is that you will both be safe and well.”
They were moved by the kindness of this practitioner, and thanked her. As the practitioner walked away, she was determined to find another opportunity to talk to them again and help them withdraw from the CCP.
During the Chinese New Year period, through the efforts of fellow practitioners, the whole area was bathed in the Buddha’s light, and was full of positive energy. When people experience an awakening of their conscience, they will be able to choose the truth of Dafa, be saved, and have a bright future.
Fellow practitioners and I all realized that the time left to save people is really short. We must cultivate ourselves well and do our best to save more people and fulfill our mission.
