(Minghui.org) Writing articles to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day (May 13) is a great opportunity to let non-practitioners see the physical and mental health benefits of Falun Dafa. Many practitioners confuse the styles of articles for China Fahui and World Falun Dafa Day. They think both articles should be about how we improve – from healing illness and becoming good people, to eventually transcending the human realm.
My understanding is that these two types of sharing articles are meant for two different groups of readers. China Fahui articles are mainly in-depth cultivation sharings for practitioners, both new and veteran. World Falun Dafa Day articles are intended to help new practitioners and non-practitioners understand more about the practice, and these stories can be used in truth clarification materials.
Given these different audiences, the style, angle, and content of the writing should also be different. The following is my understanding of the focus for our World Falun Dafa Day articles.
Stories about how someone found Falun Dafa and became a practitioner can be especially interesting to non-practitioners. Even many practitioners are curious about how others came across Falun Dafa and took up the practice. We may have very similar or completely different stories. Some practitioners were doubtful at first and gave it a try, and eventually became steadfast practitioners; others were determined to practice until consummation as soon as they learned the teachings. Some were very ill and wanted good health; others were in deep despair regarding the realities of life, so they searched for a deeper purpose and found Falun Dafa.
Everyone had a reason, or attachment, to start the practice. Everyone also had obstacles to overcome in order to become a practitioner. Every one of us has a unique and interesting story that led us to our cultivation path. Like us, non-practitioners are also curious and enjoy reading such stories. They too will have obstacles and confusion, and our stories can inspire them and help them overcome these obstacles.
Non-practitioners are also interested in how Falun Dafa cured our illnesses. For these type of stories, it’s better to provide specific details, such as the symptoms and diagnosis before we practiced, including relevant pictures, and how we gradually recovered and became healthy again. The more authentic and specific the stories are, the more thoroughly non-practitioners will understand and accept the practice.
Another thing we can describe is how we strive to become better people in our society, families, and workplaces by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Unlike China Fahui articles however, we do not need to emphasize the details of our thought processes when we searched within and struggled, but instead showcase the elevation of our xinxing, and how we acted differently after we improved. This lets our readers see that even in this day and age practitioners in all walks of life remain kind and honest.
We can also use the World Falun Dafa Day articles to resolve questions that non-practitioners may have, and dissolve any negative opinions. Many readers have long believed in atheism and evolution, and may consider Falun Dafa superstitious. We can share any supernatural phenomena or miracles we experienced. These personal stories can break through barriers in their thinking.
Some non-practitioners still have negative views due to years of the Chinese regime’s propaganda slandering Master and Falun Dafa. Those practitioners who attended Master’s lectures and met Master in person can describe what they observed or heard Master say. Such stories can expose and destroy the Chinese regime’s lies. If someone witnessed or knows details about how the Chinese regime manufactured false events to defame Falun Dafa, they can also write about it.
Last but not least, many practitioners have outstanding performances at school or work, because the practice helped them improve their xinxing and gave them wisdom. These stories give non-practitioners a good impression of how Falun Dafa is a positive influence on society.
Let’s pick up our pens and write down these stories – our own, or those of other practitioners, so we can validate the Fa, share the wonderful benefits of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and save more people.
Articles in which cultivators share their understandings typically reflect an individual's perception at a point in time based on their cultivation state, and they are offered in the spirit of enabling mutual elevation.
