(Minghui.org) My doorbell rang around 4 p.m. one day. I wondered who would visit when it was snowing so heavily. When I opened the door it was a local practitioner. She said, “A practitioner made many Minghui calendars but no one took them. It’s almost Chinese New Year. We have to distribute them as soon as possible. Could you please help?”
Looking at my son and the flying snowflakes outside, I had some concerns. I was able to distribute over one hundred truth-clarification brochures within an hour before because they could be hung on doorknobs or put in bicycle baskets, but the calendars are expensive to produce. We have to talk to people in person to make sure they want a Minghui calendar. It would be hard to find people on snow-covered streets. When I took my son to distribute truth-clarification materials before, he was cold and wept.
The practitioner said that another practitioner took 6, but she had 15 calendars left. After visiting me, she planned to go to another practitioner who lived far away. “Don’t go,” I said. “It’s too far to go in such weather. You can leave all of them with me.” She was worried that it would be hard for me to distribute them all and only wanted to leave half. I assured her that I would distribute them all. “Don’t run around in the cold. Go home,” I said. She thanked me and left all the calendars.
I know that since I’m a practitioner, nothing that happens is coincidental. Since the calendars were brought to me, I should distribute them. Thinking the roads would be even more slippery the next day, I decided to distribute them right away. I sent righteous thoughts together with my son and packed all calendars as well as some brochures into two bags, thinking, “The more I distribute, the more people will be saved.”
While I was packing, my son suddenly cried out, “Mom, a huge Falun!” I asked him where. He pointed at the sky and said, “The Falun is as big as the opening between the sky and the ground!”
I looked outside. Despite the flying snow, the sun came out of the dark clouds, giving the clouds a golden rim. It disappeared after a half minute. My son said that many Falun filled our room. I told him that Master encouraged us to bring hope to people. We kowtowed to Master’s picture and went out.
As soon as I saw a pedestrian, I got a calendar ready. I greeted each one of them and told them that the New Year calendar would bring them blessings and that the information on the calendars would help them stay safe during the pandemic. They asked me questions, thanked me, and took the calendars.
One person said that he already had calendars and didn’t need another one. However, he turned around to look at me after he walked away. I smiled, approached him again, and said, “This calendar is priceless. It’s about Falun Dafa and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It saves lives.”
“Is this Falun Dafa?” he asked. I said, “Yes. More than 100 million people around the world practice Falun Dafa. Learning the true story of Falun Dafa will bring you peace.”
He wanted two calendars. I only wanted to give each person one. He said, “Come on. You have more in your bag. Please give me another one. I will give it to another person.” I agreed and told him that he would be blessed for passing it to others.
I met a middle-aged man at a crossing. I showed him how beautiful the calendar looked and told him, “Heaven protects kind people in times of disaster. Learning the truth will bring you blessings.” He smiled but shook his head.
“This is Falun Dafa, the great Buddha Law,” I stressed. He was excited to hear it, took a calendar, and reminded me, “Be careful! The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) is so wicked!” I thanked him and kept walking.
A few minutes later, I heard someone shout behind me. I turned around and saw the middle-aged man trying to catch up to me. He asked me if he could have my WeChat so that he could learn more. I told him that I didn’t use WeChat because the CCP monitored it and collected people’s personal information. I asked him if he joined any CCP organizations. “The Communist Party asked people to vow to pay with their lives when they joined the Party. It has killed so many people through its many political movements. It’s doomed. Quit your membership in the Party to be safe!”
The man told me his last name and said he had joined the Youth League. I said I could help him quit with “Fu’an” as his nickname. He agreed happily. Pointing at the website and the phone number on the calendar, I told him how to find out more from these resources. He thanked me and left.
I was amazed that openly telling people about Falun Dafa changed their minds. When I eliminated my fear, they aren’t afraid either. Our state of mind can affect people’s attitudes. Most people thanked me and took a calendar. Only one couple declined politely.
After all calendars were distributed, I put the brochures I brought into clean bicycle baskets in front of a supermarket. These brochures had Happy New Year greeting cards in them. It was my New Year's gift to them. I wished they would bring the truth to their entire families.
On our way home, my son saw more Falun and lotus flowers and told me about the beautiful scenes he saw. I told him that Master must be encouraging us for spreading the truth. I bought my son some dumplings and gave my last USB drive with truth-clarification information to the owner of the dumpling restaurant. He thanked me happily.
I was surprised that we made it back home shortly after 5 p.m. After a quick dinner, it was time to send forth righteous thoughts. I thanked Master. I had never been able to distribute calendars in person so quickly, even in good weather.
