(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Two years later, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution. I began talking to strangers to let them know that practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be kind and honest people, that the CCP is wrong, and that the persecution is brutal.
When I spoke with a middle-aged woman in a small city, she thanked me for telling her about Falun Dafa. She said, “They [the media and the government] are lying to people—only you guys are helping people. My thanks go to Falun Dafa’s Master! Falun Dafa can save people. I will say, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ every day.”
Another woman said, “You are the best people. You use your own money to raise awareness and show people how to be good even though you are being persecuted. I’d like to thank Falun Dafa’s Master!”
A man told me that he worked for the police department but he knew Falun Dafa practitioners were good people. “I’d like to quit the CCP. You must pay attention to your safety. Take care!” he said.
I talked to a student who agreed to quit the Young Pioneers, a Party organization for elementary school students. He told his classmate, “What ‘Grandma’ said is true. It is for our own good. To keep you safe, you should quit, too.” The other student did quit the Young Pioneers. He added, “I hope Grandma will continue to do this and save more people. Thank you, Grandma, and thank you to the Master of Dafa!”
When I talked to an old woman one evening, she said she had a herniated disc and was about to have surgery. I clarified the truth about the persecution to her and she said she believed it. I gave her an amulet and asked her to repeatedly say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
We met again the following evening, and she exclaimed, “Those phrases worked! My pain is gone, so I don’t need surgery.”
I noticed an old woman sitting on a stone slab, holding her belly and humming. I asked what was wrong and she said she had a stomachache. I told her that Falun Dafa is a true cultivation way and it saves people. I suggested she recite the two phrases. She tried to but she was illiterate and couldn’t pronounce the words correctly. She also immediately forgot them. I repeated them to her over and over. Half an hour later, she stood up suddenly and said, “I am fine now. It truly works.”
