(Minghui.org) I took the bus today to a large market to tell people about Falun Dafa and the persecution. I sat next to a middle-age woman and she asked how old I was. I said, “I’m 79 years old.” She was surprised and said I didn’t look that old.

I said, “I practice Falun Dafa, and I’m healthy and full of energy. I haven’t had the need to take any medicine for over 20 years, and I do all the housework. Falun Dafa teaches me to put others first, and I live my life according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I recite ‘Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ every day.”

When I explained the importance of renouncing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations she happily withdrew from the Young Pioneers. I told her to ask her family to say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and they would be blessed.

After the woman got off the bus, an elderly woman boarded and sat next to me. I told her about Dafa and suggested she recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” for peace and she would be blessed. She was grateful and withdrew from the Young Pioneers.

On my return trip, I saw this elderly woman again. She asked me to sit with her and said, “I knew you’d be on this bus. I saw you waiting at the stop. The bus is crowded today with many people standing. I saved this seat for you.”

She told me about her family as if we were old friends reunited after being apart for many years. She invited me to her house and gave me her address. I said I couldn’t visit today but assured her we would meet again. She then got off the bus.

I transferred to another bus and sat next to a mother and daughter. I said to the daughter, “Your mother looks young.”

She sighed and replied, “She used to look even younger, but things went downhill after she got sick.” The mother said she had stomach cancer. She had surgery a year ago, but her health hadn’t improved and she had no appetite.

My compassion emerged and I told her, “If you sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you will get better. Many people with serious illnesses found hope after reciting these auspicious phrases.”

The mother said she would remember, and added, “I’ve met a good person today. Thank you so much!”

I replied, “Don’t thank me. Thank my Master. It is our compassionate and great Master who wants practitioners to awaken people.”

The mother and daughter renounced the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers. Before they got off the bus, they turned back three times to express their gratitude.

I’ve encountered many people like them while clarifying the truth at the market over the years. My experience on the bus today tells me that people are yearning for deliverance! Dafa practitioners’ mission is to assist Master in awakening people, and we must act with urgency!
