(Minghui.org) I am a veteran practitioner who started practicing Falun Dafa when it was first spread. I have gone through ups and downs on my cultivation path, given my human heart. Fortunately, compassionate Master didn’t give up on me and always protected me. For that I am able to walk smoothly on my cultivation path.
I would like to share some of my experiences clarifying the truth to people over the past years.
Facing Kindness, He Changed His Mind
I went out to clarify the truth to people on a summer day this year. It was hot, and the sun was scorching the earth. Only a few people were on the road. I saw a man sitting on a tricycle on the roadside. He was sweating from the hot sun.
I went close to him and said, “Brother, are you waiting for someone?” He said, “Yes,” with a smile. I handed a Falun Dafa flier to him and asked him to read it when he had time. He shouted at me, “Falun Dafa again. I don’t want to listen. You are against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Leave now.” He turned his head away from me.
Seeing that he had been deeply poisoned by the CCP’s lies and didn’t know the truth, I said softly, “Brother, you have time now. Please read the flier and learn what Falun Dafa is all about. It won’t hurt you. Instead you will know the view from both sides.” He interrupted me, “I don’t believe it. The CCP is very good.”
His face then became distorted with anger. I was about to leave, but feeling sorry for him, I turned and said, “Brother, don’t get angry, as it hurts you. It is your right to choose if you want to hear the truth. It is so hot. Here is some fruit for you. If someone else tells you the facts about Falun Dafa, you should listen to what they say.” I gave him the fruit.
He smiled and said, “I don’t eat fruit. Please give me the flier. He understood and agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its youth organizations.
I felt pleased about his change of heart. Master saw that my xinxing was up to par as I was thinking of others first, so he arranged this truth-clarifying opportunity. Thank you, Master!
Considering the Needs of the Seller
One day I went to the market and saw a man who was dirty, selling peaches. He was new to me, and I thought he might not listen to the truth. And I didn’t want to go over to him because he was so smelly. Then, I realized that my not wanting to talk to him was due to my human heart feeling like that.
I went over and talked to him about Falun Dafa when I was selecting some peaches to buy. He didn’t listen to me and became rude. I knew that my previous unkind thoughts were preventing him from being saved.
I finished selecting my peaches, which cost 5 yuan (about 70 cents). I only had 4.5 yuan in change. After he made sure that I didn’t have any more coins, he said he would accept 4.5 yuan. I didn't want him lose anything, so I gave him a 50-yuan (about $7) note instead, and asked him if he would change it. He said the peaches were grown on his farm, and he did not mind if I paid him 50 cents less. I said it was not easy for him to work on such a hot day, and the cost of farming was not cheap these days. He said, “You are a good person. You are indeed a good person.”
“Yes, I practice Falun Dafa and try to be a good person,” I said. I then talked to him about Falun Dafa, and this time, he listened to me. I knew that my thinking was in line with the Fa, and I was thinking that I wanted what was good for him. I considered his needs, so he listened to me.
"It is a political movement"
I saw a middle-aged man selling vegetables in the market one day and gave him a Falun Dafa flier. I asked him to read it so that he could keep himself safe in this troubled world. His face instantly changed, and he said, “You are young. Why do you do this [practice Falun Dafa]? Do you know the government doesn’t allow it?”
He obviously didn’t know the facts about Falun Dafa. I said, “I practice Falun Dafa, and I became a kind person. I am healthy, and have a happy family. It is a political campaign that is persecuting Falun Dafa. Sooner or later, Falun Dafa will be vindicated.” He murmured, “Yes, it is a political movement.”
Suddenly, he asked me if I had joined a Fa study group, and where I got the fliers I was handing out. I realized that he might be a plainclothes officer. However, even if he was a policeman, Master has asked us to save everyone, so I hoped that my compassion would move him. I clarified the truth to him, but he didn’t accept what I said. I was not able to save him due to my lack of compassion.
I left, and looked back at him after I walked a few steps. He was standing there looking at me. I left safely. Master dissolved this tribulation for me.
