(Minghui.org) I had a discussion with several fellow practitioners the other day. We reflected on our experiences in spreading Master’s new article “How Humankind Came To Be” to the general public as well as on submitting articles to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day 2023. The following is a summary of our sharing.
Recommending the New Article to Friends
Shan shared that when she visited her relatives and friends, she would read Master’s article to them and then have a discussion. The effect was very good. If they wanted to keep a copy of the article, she would leave one for them so that they could read it again and pass on. In general, they all wanted to keep a copy.
“I always have a few copies of the article in my bag when I go out so that I can give one to those who have listened to the facts and agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations,” Shan said. “I tell them to read the article carefully a few more times when they get home and keep it safe, which will help them stay safe.
“If they already know the truth, I simply give them a copy and tell them that this is the first time Falun Dafa’s founder, Master Li Hongzhi, has taught the Dafa principles to all of humanity because he can see that danger is approaching.” Shan told us that when she explained it this way, everyone seemed to understand and seemed eager to have a copy.
She also said that Master gave her a hint to submit a sharing article to commemorate this year’s World Falun Dafa Day. “I had a dream in which I was riding a bicycle really fast,” she said. “Suddenly, I looked up and saw that the street ahead of me was full of potholes, and there was a deep gully in front of me. I was overwhelmed.
“Just then, I saw a tall man with a mask on who was also on a bike. He pointed to the left and told me to go that way. I looked that way and saw that there was a gravel road about 50 meters long and a wide asphalt road beyond that, but I would have to push my bike over the gravel road first. He then told me that wen zhang (articles) said that this was the way to go.”
When she woke up, Shan could not figure out what articles the dream was talking about. “Suddenly, I realized the gap I had in my cultivation and that Master was giving me a hint. I was very grateful and made up my mind to submit an article to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day this year,” she said.
Conversations with Former Classmates
Peng is 68 years old. In the past two months since the publication of Master’s new article, he has carried copies of the article wherever he goes and tells people about it.
“I told my former classmates, friends, and people I came across that the current pandemic has actually caused the deaths of 400 million people in China and another 100 million people may die by the end of it.
“I told them that the pandemic serves as a warning. When the next wave comes, humanity might suffer even worse. I also reminded that many prophets throughout history have warned people that in the final period of the Last Havoc, there would be constant natural and man-made disasters, wars, and plagues.
“Master’s article shows immense compassion and mercy for everyone in the world and offers them a precious opportunity to be saved at this critical moment. Whether one can be saved or not depends on his or her attitude towards Dafa based on the universal characteristics of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
“I told them that although I didn’t have a deep understanding of Master Li’s article, it explained things very clearly. I said, ‘You can take a copy home and read it carefully. If you can truly understand what it says, when disasters hit, this article can protect you. When you read it with your heart, Dafa will strengthen you and Master Li will protect you.’”
Peng also told people about his own miraculous experiences. “When I developed some sickness symptoms in the past, I would study Master Li’s teachings, and soon those symptoms disappeared and I felt good again,” he said. He noted that people were generally very receptive to what he said, and they all wanted to have a copy of Master’s article to protect them.
Once, he was talking to three of his former classmates and they were all very grateful. “You’re so kind and you still think of us after so many years!” one of them said.
He also went to a number of groups that studies the teachings together and encouraged fellow practitioners to go out and tell people about Master’s new article. He said to them, “This Dafa teaching tells about cosmic changes, and we Dafa disciples should push forward with the cosmic changes. If we don’t go out due to an attachment of fear, then we will lose the opportunity to save more people.”
He also went to share with a fellow practitioner who had slacked off in cultivation. When the practitioner said he did not know how to talk to people, Peng told him what he did. The next day, that practitioner went to see a friend to clarify the truth. His friend was very happy and accepted a copy of Master’s new article.
Son Changes His Attitude
Tao talked about how he passed on Master’s teaching to his relatives and friends. “When I read what Master said in the article, I really felt the urgency to save people. I printed copies of the article, handed them to my relatives and friends and urged them to read it so that they could understand the origin of humanity; the reason for the formation of the Three Realms; the process of formation, stasis, degeneration, and destruction of the universe; and human beings’ cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death.
“I told them that we are already in the final stage of the Last Havoc and humanity is facing great danger,” Tao explained. “I also told them that my understanding was only shallow and they needed to read the article themselves, If they did, they would surely benefit.”
He explained to people that reading the article sincerely would offer them protection in times of danger. People were very receptive to what he told them and they all wanted to have a copy of Master’s article.
He also told us how his 40-year-old son changed after reading the article. Due to the lies promulgated by the CCP, Tao’s son always had a rather negative attitude about Dafa in the past. After he read the article he said, “Dad, I can’t practice Falun Gong right now, but I would like to tell you about the bad things I did in the past.” He then told his father the wrong things he did, including stealing money from home.
“I’m very grateful to Master that the article brought out my son’s innate kindness and he is now able to look within and try to be honest. If it had not been for Master’s teaching, he would probably never have told me what he had done,” Tao explained.
“My son has indeed changed for the better and he is now much kinder and considerate of others. Thank you, Master!”
Witnessing Miracles
Yong was imprisoned for 11 years for refusing to give up practicing Falun Dafa. While in jail, he clarified the truth to other inmates and helped many of them quit the CCP organizations. The other inmates held him in high esteem.
After Yong was released, a former inmate, Qiang (who was put in jail for illegal possession of guns), often drove to visit him from out of town.
“Qiang was suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and, most seriously, heart disease. I told him to sincerely recite the two auspicious phrases ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ He trusted me and believed what I said,” Yong recalled.
“A number of days later, he came to see me again in the forest farm where I work and told me excitedly that he had been reciting the two phrases every day, and one day while he was doing so, he felt something exit his body all of a sudden. He stood up and felt very light and comfortable. He was so intrigued that he came to ask me what it was,” Yong said.
He encouraged Qiang to keep reciting the phrases every day. Qiang, who was very happy, promised he would. “Not long ago, he came to see me again, so I gave him a copy of Master’s new article. He was very pleased and said he would come back to see me again after he read it,” Yong added.
