(Minghui.org) I am a female Falun Dafa practitioner. During the course of nearly 30 years of cultivation, Master gave me a healthy body and guided me to become a kind and moral person. Since Master saved me, I have been clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa to people and helping them receive Dafa’s blessings.
The following are some experiences of my improved relationships with former classmates after they learned the truth about Dafa.
Lin, an Employee in the Police Department
Lin holds a key position at our local police department. We had not seen each other for over 20 years. In 1999, when Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), launched the persecution against Falun Dafa, a relative of mine who practices Falun Dafa was illegally arrested and detained. In despair, I sought Lin’s help and he agreed to step in because we were classmates.
Later, my relative was persecuted several more times, and I again asked Lin for help. He quickly found the officers in the National Security Division and asked about the case, which significantly restrained their attitude and reduced the pressure on my relative. Whenever I spoke to Lin, he said, “You are so kind.” Through these interactions, we became better acquainted, and a close friendship grew between our families.
Three people from Lin’s family withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated youth organizations. He has accumulated a great deal of virtue by helping practitioners in need, and his career has always gone smoothly.
My Classmate Baihua
I tried to talk to my classmate Baihua about Dafa and the persecution on two occasions, but she didn’t want to listen and asked me to stop practicing. Then I gave her some truth-clarification materials, which she accepted.
Over 10 years passed before we saw each other again. She and her husband invited my husband and me over to dinner. At the table, we started to talk about old times. Later, I went to another room with Baihua and talked about how to tell her husband the facts about Dafa. At first, she said her husband would not want to listen. I told her that disasters were frequent and Heaven would soon eliminate the CCP, making it urgent to quit the Party to ensure his safety.
She still hesitated. Then I had a sudden inspiration and said, “Why don’t you quit first?” She asked, “Does that really work?” I replied, “As long as you agree, it will work. Please remember ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good.’” She said, “Okay, I quit.” Then we returned to the dinner table.
Her husband was a deputy director in a certain government system, with a sophisticated, scholarly demeanor. After dinner, Baihua and I walked out together. Her husband muttered, “You’re even closer than sisters.”
After returning home, I regretted not helping her husband quit the Party.
In Hong Yin, Master said, “Dafa disciples are the sole hope for people’s salvation...” (“The Only Hope,” Hong Yin III)
Baihua and her husband lived in a high-security residence. If I couldn’t help him quit the CCP, it would be hard for him to learn the truth. I decided to try again. However, the next time I visited them, the interference was intense, with rain and strong winds. In addition, I had a bad headache on the way. I sent forth righteous thoughts to clear away the interference, but still felt groggy.
When I arrived at Baihua’s home, her husband was there. However, one of her family members, who had been badly poisoned by the CCP, would not let us talk about Falun Dafa.
Baihua treated me very affectionately after she quit the CCP. She became curious after learning that I had not taken any medications for 30 years, and asked about how to practice Falun Dafa. I told her that Dafa teaches people to be good, and elevates people’s morality to cultivate Buddhahood. I said that even though practitioners have been persecuted for over 20 years, we persist. Anyone who has persecuted practitioners walking on their divine path brings disaster upon themselves and their families, and faces punishment after death.
Baihua was very interested. She told me she suffered from several illnesses and could not get much help from doctors. She asked whether practicing Falun Dafa could really improve people’s health. I told her that many practitioners had personal experience with this.
I asked her to help me persuade her husband to quit the CCP. She said to talk to him directly. That day, there were many people in her house and it was noisy. I went up to her husband, and asked in a low voice whether he knew about Falun Dafa. He told me he had been assigned to deal with practitioners in his company and they had all given up the practice. He also repeated the CCP’s slander. I told him those were all lies used as an excuse to persecute Falun Gong. I explained that Dafa is a high-level cultivation practice of the Buddha school and is based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Then I told him that upholding a good conscience and benevolent thoughts benefits our society, whereas evil is met with karmic retribution.
He nodded in agreement, saying, “The practice itself is good, but we should not get involved in politics.” I replied, “We are practitioners, and we do not have any political agenda. Facing reckless persecution, even forced organ harvesting, it is more than justified that we expose and resist the persecution.”
I asked him whether he knew about quitting the CCP. He said he had never heard of it. I informed him that 450 million Chinese people had already withdrawn from the Party and its affiliated organizations. In a few minutes, I explained the true meaning of quitting the CCP to guarantee a safe future. He nodded repeatedly as I spoke. I told him that I sincerely hoped he would quit to avoid being implicated when Heaven started to eliminate the CCP. Baihua also urged him to quit to ensure his safety. He readily agreed.
After Bahui’s husband quit the Party, he changed a lot. As a high-ranking official, he was well aware of the dark and chaotic nature of his workplace. He realized even more so that practitioners are like a clear stream purifying the world. My relationship with Baihua became closer.
“Chenyang the Boss”
My former classmate Chenyang is a smart, quick-witted person and has run various types of businesses. Recently, he moved to the city where I live. After we got in touch, I told him the facts about Dafa and persuaded him to quit the CCP. When I offered him a pseudonym, he said straightforwardly, “No need. I’ll use my real name to quit! And so will my whole family!”
Later, he started counting all the bad things the CCP has done. I said, “You were a student council member, and introduced many classmates to the Communist Youth League. What are you going to do about them?” He replied, “That’s easy. I’ll call them and tell them to quit the CCP.” I stopped him and said it was not safe to talk about this on the phone.
Once, we went to a class reunion, and traveled there together with several other classmates. One was a director at a company and I shared the truth about Dafa with him. However, he made an excuse and wouldn’t listen further. I continued talking with our other classmates and mentioned the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Chenyang interrupted me, “She isn’t explaining it well. Let me do it.”
Chenyang is very eloquent, and vividly recounted all the crimes the CCP has committed. He’d almost memorized the Nine Commentaries, and everyone in the car listened quietly. However, when I urged people to withdraw from the CCP, no one dared reply. Chenyang said, “You guys really lack insight. I have already quit under my real name and so has every one in my family. If you don’t believe it, you can ask her.” I confirmed this was true. However, no one else wanted to quit.
After we reached our destination, I brought two big bags full of truth-clarification materials to give to my classmates. Chenyang helped me take them in. I handed him a 200-yuan currency bill printed with Dafa messages and said, “Keep this safe. Dafa will not be persecuted forever. The truth will eventually come to light. This may well be the most precious thing you own.” He carefully put it in his pocket, and gave me two 100-yuan bills in return.
After dinner, I wanted to visit my relatives in my hometown, but did not wish to bother the others. However, Chenyang and his driver insisted on taking me there. As he dropped me off, we were reluctant to say goodbye. I knew that he was sincere since he had been saved by Master.
Chenyang changed a lot after he quit the CCP. He became very clear-minded and approachable. I realized his knowing side had been awakened. He said he believed he would have a good future, indicating that he would be protected by Master. I replied, “Yes, it’s true.”
My Wealthy Classmate Dalan
Dalan’s father is an elderly, high-level intellectual with a gentle, kind nature. He has a large, harmonious family. All his children graduated from prestigious universities; some are corporate executives, others are university professors—all are white-collar workers.
This elderly gentleman does not practice Falun Dafa, yet he holds Dafa in high regard. He accepted every bit of truth-clarification information I gave him, and read each one carefully. After he finished reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, he said the CCP had committed even more evils than were included in the book. He was never misled during the frenzied times when the evil CCP turned right and wrong upside down and fabricated lies and smear campaigns. When he learned I was persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa and closely monitored by the police, he encouraged me to uphold my faith. He often said society would become better if everyone practiced Falun Dafa. His daughter Dalan has remained a firm friend, no matter how severely the CCP persecutes practitioners.
Dalan never let me pay for things. When other classmates didn’t dare come to my home, she never minded visiting me. When I was in difficulty, she helped me. We stayed close over the years of persecution. Her whole family withdrew from the Party and its affiliated organizations. I shared the truth about Dafa with her and her family, and they received Dafa’s blessings. Dalan earns a substantial income herself and is considered wealthy.
Conclusion
These former classmates are all my good friends. However, some classmates I used to be close with were poisoned by the CCP’s slander, refused to learn the truth about Dafa, and we’ve lost touch. I know many people still need to learn the truth and are waiting to be saved. I will keep working hard to reach more people.
