(Minghui.org) I was a student when I started practicing Falun Dafa. Then I got married and had a child. My life changed, but my firm belief in Master, in Falun Dafa and my determination to cultivate have never faltered. I’d like to share some of my most memorable experiences with you here. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
When We Cooperate as One Body, the Power Is Immense
A female practitioner named Shen and several others were reported to the police when they were clarifying the truth to people in April 2020. Their homes were ransacked and some of them were detained. Shen managed to walk out free. The police arrested Shen’s husband. We were advised to mail truth-clarification letters to the court and send forth righteous thoughts. The practitioners in our Fa study group took action without any hesitation. We downloaded letters from the Minghui website to send to the judge overseeing the case.
In order to have the letters arrive at the court without issue, we made the envelopes look like they were sent from a lawyer’s office. We could even put five letters in the same mailbox without a problem. We carried out every step with a pure heart.
I also downloaded truth-clarification letters from the Minghui website, hand copied them and sent them to the judges. When I was hand copying the letters, I felt that Master was strengthening me. I felt warm and stayed up till midnight without feeling tired at all. My handwriting was very nice. When other practitioners saw it, they thought it was printed. I sent forth righteous thoughts before I sent the letters, adding thoughts like whoever reads the letters should remember that Falun Dafa is good, not persecute practitioners and choose a good future for themselves.
Every practitioner in our Fa study group sent letters. They avoided the cameras around the court when delivering the letters and didn’t put more than three letters in each mailbox. One day on my way back home from work, I went to a mailbox far away. There was a traffic jam and it was snowing. I then walked to mail the letter in the snow. Though I was trembling and cold, the letter was sent out in time.
A practitioner relayed feedback to me from a judge two months after we mailed the letters. The judge told Shen’s child, “Please ask your mom to stop sending letters. Your dad is indeed innocent, but I have to follow orders from above. I will sentence him to however long he has stayed in the detention center so that he can be freed immediately.” Sure enough, Shen’s husband came home soon.
The director of the local Domestic Security Division persecuted practitioners. We wrote letters and made phone calls to him and clarified the truth to him in person, but he didn’t stop. We worried that we couldn’t get his home address, but Master arranged for a practitioner named Yen to get it for us. We published his address on the Minghui website and made sticky posters for practitioners to put up. We published a special edition newspaper targeting him.
Finally, we decided to write a letter to his wife exposing her husband’s bad deeds. I knew that the letter must be full of compassion. I asked a practitioner named Xie to write it. Xie asked for seven days to get it done. He said that the director of the National Security Division had a young child and it’d be better we didn’t write letters to the child. He didn’t allow other practitioners to take any action toward the director. He said that if the director continued doing bad things, we’d expose him further.
Xie didn’t send us the letter until 15 days later. The letter was not as good as I thought it’d be. Another practitioner named Yang was not satisfied with it, either. Yang gave some suggestions and Xie agreed to revise his letter. He didn’t allow us to rewrite his letter from scratch. One week passed. During the process, the director of the National Security Division harassed and arrested three or four practitioners and had their homes searched. They were detained in the detention center.
I became impatient and complained. My attachment to validate myself came up. I looked within and found that I relied on other practitioners too much. If I wrote the letter myself, it would’ve been done sooner and the other four practitioners would not have been persecuted. I complained that Xie was too slow and didn’t write well enough and even didn’t let us rewrite it. He didn’t let us put up posters or distribute the special edition newspapers. The work I did staying up all night was in vain.
I suddenly remembered that Yang said that we should let go of self and cooperate unconditionally and remain calm. So, I let go of my human attachments and eliminated whatever came up in my mind one by one. I reinforced Xie with righteous thoughts so that he could write well.
We printed out many copies of Xie’s letter. We wore gloves to prevent any fingerprints from getting on them. We then sent forth righteous thoughts to strengthen the practitioners who delivered the letters.
The detained practitioners were released four days later. The director of the Domestic Security Division was restrained a bit and didn’t persecute the practitioners for long.
My understanding was that as long as he stopped persecuting practitioners, he would have a chance to be saved. It was not important whether the letter I wrote was distributed. I shouldn’t judge the letter with my notions. Though the letter was not as perfect as I thought it could be, as long as my xinxing was up to par, Master would arrange the best for us. Master has said that when Dafa practitioners cooperate and coordinate well, the power is immense.
During this whole process, I felt that Master was looking after us constantly. As long as we had the wish, Master arranged it for us. We had new practitioners and practitioners who we never saw get involved. Every practitioner let go of their ego, broke through human notions, worked in an orderly fashion, and was considerate of others. As long as we followed Dafa’s principles, we would achieve amazing results.
Clarifying the Truth with Compassion
Master said, “The ones who do evil against Dafa go down into the gate of no-life.” (“Foretelling the Fa’s Rectification of the Human World,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)
The policemen are also beings from high levels. They took the risk to descend to this world because they believed that Dafa could save them. If they did evil against Dafa, the consequences would be catastrophic. We are now transitioning to the period of the Fa rectifying the human world. I have been thinking about how to save those sentient beings in the legal departments.
In my daily life, I collected police information and asked overseas practitioners to call them. I wrote letters to them when I got their addresses. I treated them with compassion during the process. When I sent forth righteous thoughts, I talked to their main consciousnesses and eliminated the evil beings and factors that prevented them from knowing the truth.
For two months, I sent righteous thoughts near police departments for half an hour or an hour every day. I clarified the truth to all the policemen. Rain and sweltering heat didn’t prevent me from going there. I felt Master was taking care of me during the process. I felt cool air blow on me in the hot summer. No persecution was reported during that time.
A practitioner named Mai and I went out to clarify the truth to people after the COVID lockdown was lifted. People were ready to accept the truth during the pandemic. Mai had few human notions and clarified the truth to people directly. If they had further questions, I would talk to them. We cooperated very well.
We went out for two hours every day. Our goal was to help at least five people withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations daily. We took different routes. Before we departed, we pleaded for Master to send people to us and thanked Him for reinforcing our righteous thoughts. We sent forth righteous thoughts to dissolve evil beings and elements in other dimensions all the time.
We complied with Master’s Fa when we clarified the truth to people. We chatted with them sincerely and frankly. Our wisdom was unlocked and we were continually inspired on how to talk to people. Sentient beings appeared to be waiting for us.
One day it looked like it was going to rain and Mai wanted to go home. I asked her to walk to a specific door. An elderly man came up to us. We asked him for directions and he obliged. We took this opportunity to clarify the truth to him. He didn’t know about quitting the CCP. He was nearly 90 years old, a senior engineer and a CCP member. He wanted to buy some food before it started to rain and came across us. He accepted an amulet with the nine true words on it and left us.
I broke through my reliance on other practitioners and reluctance to clarify the truth during the process. I also learned how to clarify the truth by reading articles on the Minghui website. One day I told an elderly person, “Do you know that this plague is punishment caused by Jiang Zemin for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners?…” I clarified the truth to him. He disliked Jiang Zemin and the CCP and agreed to withdraw. He accepted our materials and said he would give them to his children to read.
Master had arranged everything for us; we only needed to take action. When we let go of fear and selfishness and did things with a pure mind, everything went smoothly. All we had to do was cultivate ourselves and assimilate to the Fa. Practitioners: please do not waste the time that Master has extended for us with His huge suffering. We should save sentient beings without wasting any time.
Thank you, Master, for saving me and bestowing to us the prestigious honor to be a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period. Every step I walked on my cultivation path in the past 25 years reflected Master’s caring and suffering.
Thank you, Master!
