(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. With Master’s protection, I’ve followed Dafa’s guidance and negated the old forces’ arrangements for 30 years. I am deeply grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation.
I have an independent work environment. At my workplace, every day I interact with people Master has arranged for me to meet. After work, my workplace becomes a place for us Falun Dafa practitioners to study the Fa, share cultivation experiences, and work on Dafa projects.
On the job, I come into contact with people from all walks of life, including those in the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the public security system, and the Party apparatus, as well as individuals across social strata. To clarify the truth about Dafa and save them, I had to look within, eliminate my attachments, negate the old forces’ disturbances, and continually realign myself with Dafa. With Master’s protection, I have steadily walked my path over the years.
Since childhood, I have done everything conscientiously. My father often praised me and didn’t worry that I might make mistakes. After entering the workforce, I continued to excel, prioritizing both quality and speed and striving to do my best in everything. However, I realized that this mindset would become a strong attachment when saving people.
I wanted to help people quickly quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). But rushing led to poor results. I learned that I needed to be patient and talk to people with compassion. So I often chatted with them about everyday life and their health, and after gaining some insight into their situation, I shared a bit more about Dafa. The next time they returned, I told them more about Dafa and the persecution. For those who did not agree with me, I reminded myself not to rush or become agitated. For those who refused to quit the CCP, I still treated them warmly while looking within to see if anything I said had not aligned with the Fa.
I realized I felt fearful, especially because I was talking about Dafa at work. Whenever I felt afraid, I reminded myself of an incident that happened a few years ago.
In 2008, I was placing stickers with messages about Falun Dafa on utility poles. Two plainclothes officers approached and asked what I was putting up. I pointed to the sticker and said, “This.” One of them took out his phone and was about to call the police station. People nearby gathered around to watch.
Just then I thought, “They can’t interfere with me saving people!” With a friendly smile, I said to the officers, “Hey, how about we become friends?” I raised my hand and slowly lowered it onto his phone, stopping him from making the call. I said I would give them my name and where I work.
The man looked at me with an arrogant smile and said, “You will be locked up for at least three years if we arrest you!”
I nodded with a gentle smile. More and more people gathered around. The plainclothes officer finally said, “You may leave.” So, I walked away.
When I was a little distance away, my fear showed up. My legs started trembling because I was worried they might come after me.
After I returned home, I remembered to look inward. Why had these troubles happened?
I recalled that a few days before, many practitioners gathered at my place. One described how he shared facts about Dafa on a bus; another said he was clarifying the truth face-to-face. They told us how many people they advised to quit the CCP each day.
I reflected on my behavior. Few people had visited my office lately, but I realized that I shouldn’t wait for them to come to me. Who else could I advise to quit the CCP? I thought I could start with the people I knew. I ran through various names in my mind, rejecting one after another, until I finally settled on someone I thought would be receptive. I went to see him. We usually got along well, but that day, as soon as I started talking about Dafa, he all but kicked me out. I was frustrated and thought his behavior was outrageous. I was filled with resentment and forgot to look within.
As I walked downstairs, I reached into my pocket and found some of the stickers with Dafa messages. I thought that putting them up would also save people. I put up a few, still feeling upset and full of resentment. That is when the plainclothes police showed up.
I saw that I was acting out of a desire to complete a task, a need to keep up with others, a fear of falling behind, and even jealousy. My actions were driven by selfish motives, without compassion. I understood that I should hold my ground at my workplace, which was my post for saving people. Why rush? Everything should proceed in an orderly fashion, based on my current circumstances, and without any interference from human attachments. Everyone holds a different position. One cannot simply imitate others but must instead walk one’s own path well, saving people out of compassion. I also had a lingering sense of fear. After recognizing these issues, I felt more at ease.
Later, whenever I went out to talk with people about Falun Dafa, I kept a calm heart and always sent righteous thoughts first to eliminate the old forces’ interference. Whenever I met predestined people at work, I adjusted my mindset, let go of expectations of a specific outcome, and used the opportunity to gently explain the facts to people with a kind heart. Fear comes from selfishness. I need to reach a selfless state so I can save people better. Looking within helped me keep eliminating my human attachments while saving people.
One day, I met an old friend from before I practiced Dafa who habitually spouted profanities and had a thuggish air. When I talked to him about quitting the CCP, I had little hope he would agree. Yet he quit the CCP. I then gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. After reading the book, he visited me again. His expression was completely different from before. He told me that a relative of his had spoken to him about this before, but he hadn’t understood its importance.
“I understand now after reading the Nine Commentaries,” he said excitedly. “The average person wouldn’t understand this book.”
He saw a Minghui Weekly publication I had printed with the pages out of order. He checked the numbering carefully, patiently put the pages in the correct order, and read the contents. He was a completely changed man this time. He said, “Don’t be fooled by people with power and money—they don’t understand this, but I do.”
On another occasion, he visited me and noticed the earbud I had just taken off as he entered the room. He casually picked it up and started listening. Then he asked if he could borrow the player to listen at home. I told him he could keep it. After he listened to “Dissolving the Party Culture,” he understood even more of the truth.
The book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party has shattered the CCP’s lies and disintegrated the evil elements controlling people. From then on, this friend began telling his family and friends the facts about Dafa, and advised them to quit the CCP. He often passed me the names of those who agreed to quit the Party and its affiliated youth organizations. He also shared stories about his truth-clarification activities.
He said that once, while out and about, he spotted a buddy and shouted from a distance, “Hey, come here.” When his friend was close, he whispered, “You’re always badmouthing the CCP; well, today it’s for real.” He explained why his friend should quit the CCP, and his friend agreed to quit.
On another occasion, he said he had a friend who was a police officer. “I needed to have tea and chat with him to explain things little by little,” he said. Later, he found a secluded spot to meet the officer for tea and, during that time, explained what Falun Dafa is and shared some of the content in the Nine Commentaries. After his friend quit the CCP, he came to me happily and gave me the name.
He had a relative who was a section-level official. When he advised the relative to quit the CCP, the relative said, “We can’t beat Jiang Zemin [the former CCP leader who ordered the persecution of Falun Dafa]. We can’t beat the Communist Party.” He replied, “Who does Jiang Zemin think he is? Who is the king here? Falun Dafa is the king! Even officials who outrank you have quit the CCP. I suggest you do it right now.” He then explained Falun Dafa and several points from the Nine Commentaries. This time, his relative understood and agreed to quit.
Whenever this friend had the chance, he would tell the people he knew to quit the CCP. If he was out of town, he would call me and give me the list of names.
Later, I lent him a copy of Zhuan Falun and recommended he read it. When he returned the book, his face was lit up with a broad smile, and his expression suggested he had glimpsed a profound, heavenly secret. He looked completely different, radiating an aura of pure sunshine. Although he wasn’t yet practicing Falun Dafa, not long after he read the book, he miraculously kicked his bad habit of smoking.
This friend’s son contracted tuberculosis around age 18. To help his son recover, he moved his entire family south. While there, he still called me with the names of those who agreed to quit the CCP. His good deeds brought blessings to his family. Later, during his son’s follow-up exam, the doctor said that the young man’s lungs were healthy. When my friend shared the news with me, he was overjoyed: “My son is cured!” I replied, “This is a blessing from Dafa that you’ve received for doing good deeds.”
He originally thought his son would struggle just to survive given his condition, but unexpectedly, the young man found a temporary job as a hotel attendant. One day, a performing arts troupe checked in, and a female performer fell in love with his son at first sight. The young woman came from a well-to-do family and was excellent in every respect. She didn’t mind that he lacked steady employment or local residency. They married and eventually settled there. When the couple had a baby boy, my friend shared the good news with me, beaming from ear to ear. “My grandson is absolutely adorable—he looks just like his mother.”
One drizzly day, my friend was riding his motorcycle when a car struck him from behind, hurling him through the air. He cried out, “I’m done for!” Yet, he landed safely by the curb. Realizing he had hit someone, the driver sped off. Miraculously, my friend was completely unharmed. He thought, “Heaven must be protecting me.” He looked up at the sky, but saw nothing. An elderly woman selling popsicles nearby approached him and said, “I recorded the license plate number for you.” As my friend picked up his motorcycle, he thought, “Heaven has protected me and saved my life. Why would I need to extort money from the driver?” So he didn’t take the number.
This friend of mine, who used to have a foul mouth, has completely changed after reading the Nine Commentaries. I realized the book was important for saving people, so I started making copies. Sometimes, I would print late into the night, and other practitioners would help me bind them. I’ve lost count of how many copies I’ve printed. As long as they save people, I’ll keep making them, no matter how hard the work is. I also load mini-players and USB disks with truth-clarification information, as well as the Weekly, a publication containing Master’s new articles. I’ve recommended these materials to people who come to my workplace. Some people have even returned, asking for more.
I realized it wasn’t I who did a good job clarifying the truth, it was the mighty power of Master Li and Dafa. The Nine Commentaries is a sharp sword that shatters false images and pierces the lies woven by the evil Party, leaving it nowhere to hide. Those who understand the truth will spread the truth widely, and more people will be saved. This is my wish.
