(Minghui.org) I am a middle-aged Falun Dafa practitioner who began to cultivate in Falun Dafa over 20 years ago. I feel that I have not studied the Fa well. My mind did not concentrate when I studied the Fa. I also could not maintain my xinxing when I encountered problems. I looked outward, wanted the spotlight on myself, and disliked what others did. My jealousy often overpowered me, and my mood was easily swayed by human attachments.
Diligently Memorizing the Fa
I read a practitioner’s cultivation experience sharing article just before the 2022 Chinese New Year. It mentioned that memorizing the Fa can change one’s human notions that had formed over a long time.
For example, my attachments included feeling sleepy during Fa study, being sensitive to criticism, and so on. When I noticed that a veteran practitioner had memorized Master’s main book Zhuan Falun dozens of times, I felt that it must be difficult and not easy to do, but I decided to give it a try. I thus vowed to memorize Master’s teaching by telling myself, “If others can do it, why can’t I?”
I used the excuse of being busy in the past. Now that I no longer needed to go to work, I started to memorize the Fa. It took me two days to memorize the first paragraph, and I thought of giving up halfway through. I felt that I couldn’t do it, as I wasn’t smart enough. I couldn’t even remember one sentence after repeating it 20 times. I begged Master in my heart to give me wisdom, so that I could imprint this Dafa in my mind, and forever remember it.
During the process of memorizing the Fa, the bad substances that had accumulated within me were eliminated, and I felt different afterwards. It was amazing. I now no longer feel it is difficult to memorize the Fa. I am also able to concentrate, and my mind is clear when I study the Fa. Despite sleeping for just a few hours every day, I do not feel tired during the day. When I meet with problems, I am able to recognize whether it is the true me or the fake me. My mind has fewer wild thoughts and my righteous thoughts have strengthened. I am able to get rid of and disintegrate the elements that the old forces forced upon me, from the surface to the microscopic level, eliminating them thoroughly.
Putting My Heart Into Saving People
I started to clarify the truth about Dafa a few years ago, and persuaded people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations by making phone calls, and I am still going strong in doing this task.
Practitioner Ms. Bai wanted to pay the bills for three mobile phone cards at the end of the month. She first tried making a call. When she saw that there was a signal and the call was able to get through, she paid the bills and got some more cards. She prepaid 50 yuan for each card. The next day, when she was going to make calls, she found that all three cards were inoperable. But she did not want to throw them away, so two weeks later she passed the phone cards to me.
I turned on the mobile phone and it showed that the card did not have a signal. I sent forth a strong righteous thought in my heart, “Totally disintegrate the evil beings in other dimensions that prevent me from using the phone to clarify the truth. Totally disintegrate and annihilate them! Whoever obstructs Dafa practitioners from saving people is committing a crime.”
I then called the manual service counter, “Hello, would you please help check this card. Why is there no signal even though the bills have been paid?” Initially, the person was stunned for a moment and said, “Please wait for a while, I will help you check it out. What is your situation there?” I said, “There is a signal but the phone calls are not getting through.” She said, “Please wait for 20 minutes before restarting the phone.” After a while, the signal came in. I checked and saw that there was more than 80 yuan worth of talk time available. I then continued to make phone calls. Another card had also been re-initiated. It contained more than 60 yuan worth of talk time.
This truly made me feel the amazing power of Dafa. Things will really take a turn for the better when we cultivate based on the Fa, face the problem openly and in a dignified manner, and meet the standards of the Fa. The purer our hearts are, the lesser will be our attachments to gains and benefits, combativeness and fear.
During the so-called sensitive days, the card sellers were threatened by the evil Party’s related department, and they would not dare to sell the cards. In this case, our buying of the phone cards would be affected such that some cards that we purchased were not be able to connect with the signal. A few practitioners had to go out to clarify the truth face-to-face, because they did not have phone cards. There were also times when two practitioners shared one card.
My phone cards have seldom been blocked during the last two years. I could even pass some cards to practitioners who needed them urgently. As for these two cards, I have been using them continuously up to the present. It has already been a few years. Every time I send forth righteous thoughts at the stipulated times or at the locally agreed time to send forth righteous thoughts, I will also send forth righteous thoughts for the practitioners who bought the mobile phone cards and disintegrate all the evil beings and elements that are causing disturbance to our clarifying the truth over the phone.
I did not waver whenever someone said, “If you call me again, I will report you so that they will block your card and investigate you.” I just thought in my heart: “Do not allow the old forces to use sentient beings to commit crimes against Dafa!” After that, I said, “The pandemic is so serious and we are so far apart. It is really not easy for us to connect over the phone like this. I sincerely hope that you and your family can obtain happiness and safety and stay far away from disasters and accidents. I do not harbor any ill intentions. In today’s society, we common folks’ lives and properties do not have any guarantee. I hope that you can quit the CCP, and not take part in the CCP’s evil deeds. In this way, you will be able to obtain blessings from the gods.” The other party would often agree to quit. At these times, I could feel strong energy all around me.
Master told us,
“Mercy can melt heaven and earth into springRighteous thought can save people of the world”(“Fa Rectifies the Cosmos,” Hong Yin Volume II)
I still remember that on Chinese New Year’s Eve, everyone was busy preparing for the new year celebration and I was swayed by it. After shopping for a whole day, I came back quickly to study over 20 pages of the Fa. I then went to get busy with other things. That night, the practitioner who usually does truth clarification with me drove over to pick me up. I lamented in my heart about that practitioner coming when it was already so late. In order to save face and not reject that practitioner, since he came so far to get me, I reluctantly boarded the car to make phone calls and save people.
The first call did not go through, while the second receiver hung up after listening to a few sentences. When that practitioner spoke, I sent forth righteous thoughts. I thought that since I had already gotten into the car, I should cherish this precious time to save people. I should just cooperate with Master’s arrangement to save people. In the end, we persuaded 12 people to quit the CCP organizations within an hour.
Thank you Master for your protection. Be it spring, summer, autumn, or winter, the sentient beings are all waiting for Dafa practitioners to save them. However, I am still here in the mundane world thinking about living a blissful life, seeking comfort, and allowing myself to slow down. I express my sincerest apology to Dafa and Master.
Expanding My Capacity
The Fa-rectification is approaching its end. Master wants his disciples to do well with the three things. If any one of the things has not been done, one cannot claim to be an actually cultivating practitioner. Therefore, I wake up early every day to do the exercises, study the Fa in the morning, make phone calls to clarify the truth, and save lives in the afternoon and at night.
Once when I was making a call, the receiver was an older man. After listening to what I said, he immediately flared up and said, “You said that the CCP is not good. How do you dare to say such things to me?” My attachment to fighting with others ignited and I thought, “I have read The Nine Commentaries many times and I can memorize and recite the truth of the bad things that the evil Party has done for many years, so how can you argue with me?” However, despite calling back three times, the calls just would not go through. There was nothing I could do, so it was time for me to give up.
I felt upset after putting down the phone. I thought, “That elderly man has lived in hardship for his whole life. But he did not understand the truth and is even beholden to the evil Party. I will be partially responsible when he is being eliminated because I did not clarify the truth to him, and I even made him lose his temper, and get angry.
We must look within during conflicts that happen between ordinary people and ourselves. Indeed, it was my fault, as I was not compassionate. I also had the problem of flaring up when others blamed me, and not giving others a chance to understand. I was also afraid that others might wrong me. I spoke without thinking from the other person’s perspective, and was unable to see the reasons behind the actions of others. Therefore, I have to send forth righteous thoughts to get rid of these degenerate matters and attachments that do not abide by the Fa, and correct myself based on the Fa.
I called that man again the next day and said, “Sir, it is me. Yesterday, I was at fault. I was not respectful when I talked to you, hurting you. I am sorry! You, being in that position, working so hard for the Party for so many years, dedicating your whole life to the Party, managing to stay alive in many dangerous situations, it was really not easy. Life has its own master, there must be gods watching over you, so that you, being a kind soul, managed to survive many ordeals. However, despite all that, you still led a poor life into old age. You did not get to enjoy the benefits you deserve. The few hundred yuan of living expenses that is given to you is quite a pitiful amount. You, being a veteran, should be more than clear about what that evil CCP did. Only by quitting the CCP organizations will you have a good future. You will have nothing to do with all the disasters and accidents that are caused by the CCP’s evil deeds.” Hearing me say that, the elderly man happily agreed.
After putting down the phone, tears covered my face. I put my palms together to thank Master, “Master, it is not the sentient beings choosing not to quit the CCP, it is my not cultivating myself well that resulted in not every one of the sentient beings being able to feel the benevolence, great compassion, and great tolerance of Dafa practitioners. I have made you worry. I will cultivate diligently in the future.” I understood that when we let go of our notions, Master will send more sentient beings to us.
