(Minghui.org) I’m a female practitioner who began cultivating Falun Dafa prior to July 20, 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution. I lived in the countryside, about four miles away from the city. I’d like to share some of my experiences clarifying the truth.
Ms. Li and I once took the public bus to the city to tell people the truth about Dafa and the persecution. When the bus arrived at an intersection, I saw two middle-aged men standing by the curb. People would often wait for the bus at that intersection. Right then, I really wanted to get out of the car to clarify the truth to them. I asked the bus driver to pull over, I quickly got out of the car, and Ms. Li followed.
We approached the two men. Before we started talking, one of them asked, “Why did you get out of the bus? Don’t you want to head over to the city?” “We’re coming for you!” I replied while smiling. They looked confused as they glared at us.
“We practice Falun Dafa. Currently, the CCP continues to harvest organs from practitioners for big profits. The CCP also staged ‘the self-immolation on Tiananmen Square’ to frame Dafa in order to turn people against practitioners. Heaven will eliminate the CCP. If you’ve joined the CCP or its affiliates, you should quit them so you will not be impacted by the CCP. This way, you can ensure your safety and be blessed when the time comes to eliminate the CCP. How about quitting?” After hearing this, they kept repeating, “Good, good, thank you!”
I told them they didn’t have to thank me. When the calamity is over, they can thank my Master, as He asked us to save them. While Ms. Li was continually sending forth righteous thoughts on the side, I gave them respective pseudonyms and helped them quit the evil CCP organizations. In the end, I said, “I wish that you good people will be safe all along. You and your family please sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!’ You’ll be in good health.” They were saved after learning the truth. Thank you, Master, for your benevolent arrangement!
Ms. Li and I then started walking towards the city miles away. Soon after, there came an electric bike. The driver stopped right beside us. Before we turned around to see who it was, I heard him shouting, “Please get on my e-bike!” It was my sister-in-law’s neighbor. What a coincidence! It was Master who saw that we put our hearts into truth-clarification and weren’t afraid of hardship, so an e-bike was sent to take us to the city. Master was encouraging us. I kept thanking Master in my heart.
On another occasion, a practitioner gave me a ride to the city to take care of something. At an intersection, I saw four men standing by the curb a few hundred feet away from me. They had quite a few pieces of luggage as if they were waiting for the bus. I told the practitioner, “Please pull over and give me a few minutes; I’ll be right back.” Then I got out and ran towards the men. As I was running, I turned my head and saw a bus coming that way. After I got to them, I was short of breath and couldn’t speak.
One of them asked, “Hello there! Did you come for the bus?”
I waited until I could breathe, then replied, “No, I came to tell you something important. Seeing that you are from out of town, I was afraid we wouldn’t see each other again after you left. And I didn’t want you to lose the opportunity to be saved after learning the truth.” Then I went straight to the point, telling them why one has to quit the CCP, how Dafa has spread all over the world, and the atrocity of the CCP’s harvesting organs from living practitioners. I also offered to give them pseudonyms to help them anonymously quit the CCP. They agreed.
When I got back to the car, the practitioner asked me if they quit the CCP, I said they did. She said she sent forth righteous thoughts for me. I thanked her for her selfless contribution.
One day in late Fall, I was on my way home after having run some errands in the city. It took a very long time for the bus to come. I thought to myself: Since it’s only about four miles away, why don’t I just walk home, so I can save some money? Perhaps I would run into people who have predestined relationships with me, and I can clarify the truth to them.
When I was about a mile from home, a sedan pulled up beside me. The driver rolled down the window and yelled out to me, “Let me give you a ride!” When I looked at him, I realized he was the owner of a supermarket in our village. I thanked him upon getting in his car. After a couple minutes we passed an intersection, and I saw three men standing by the trees near the curb. It appeared that they were waiting for the bus. Suddenly, I no longer felt grateful to the driver and began to blame myself. While walking the rest of the way home, I thought: If I had declined the ride, I’d have met the three men and clarified the truth to them so they’d be saved. I really regretted it.
After I got home, I took out some leftover cooked rice from the morning, put it in a bowl, added cold water, took out some preserved vegetables and was getting ready to eat. However, I didn’t feel like eating anything. I kept seeing the faces of those men I didn’t get to reach out to. So I put down my bowl and said to Master, “Master, please help me by having them stay where they are. I want to head back to clarify the truth to them.” I quickly left home.
I took a shortcut through the village and arrived at a cornfield. I was hesitant to proceed through the cornfield because the path was full of watercress, other weeds, and a 5-foot-tall thorny briar patch. There was also a sticky grass that would stick to one’s body, so I wondered what to do? Because saving people is important, I decided to just ignore all that. As I walked on the path, both sides of the corn stalks came together, and I had to use my hands from time to time to push away the leaves on both sides. Even so, my face was still scraped, since they were strong fall leaves.
I continued to push the corn stalks and ignored the thorny and sticky grass as I walked. When I finally made it out, I looked up and saw a man by a tree across the street who looked at me strangely. I was also startled, but I walked over and climbed up the roadside slope. As I got up to the road, I patted my chest and thought to myself: Don’t be afraid with Master here. I walked quickly towards the intersection as I picked off the thorns and some sticky leaves from my hair.
When I got to the intersection, I saw that they were still there. I thanked Master from deep down and went up to greet them. The two older ones looked me up and down in amazement and said, “Hi, where did you come from?” I looked in the direction of the old barn while removing more leaves and sticky grass. I felt embarrassed and replied, “I was afraid you would leave without hearing the truth, which would make me feel sorry for you, and I would regret it.” They smiled. We then talked in a pleasant manner about quitting the CCP. The two older ones were very touched, accepted the truth, and agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliates.
However, the younger man in his 20s refused to quit. I said, “Young man, I passed by here on my way home from the city and saw the three of you here. I just wanted you to know the truth about Dafa so you can avoid disaster and stay safe. I didn’t even take time to eat for fear of missing the opportunity to talk with you. After I got home, I came back here through the weed-covered cornfield. Please stand up, so I can show you how far my home is from here.”
The young man listened attentively and suddenly said, “My name is so-and-so, please help me quit the Party with my real name. I only joined the Young Pioneers. Thank you!”
“Please don’t thank me. One day you’ll know the significance of my talking to you today. Please remember to sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!’ By doing so, you’ll ensure your safety and be blessed. When you manage to escape the calamity, please also remember to thank my Master.”
After I finished talking with them, I headed back, teary-eyed, along the road.
Master said,
“Clarifying the facts and saving sentient beings are what you need to accomplish. There is nothing else for you to accomplish. There is nothing else in this world that you need to accomplish.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2015 New York Fa Conference,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XIII)
Thank you Master for your protection along the way. I deeply feel that only by following Master’s requirements will one know true happiness!
