(Minghui.org) I know a couple who practice Falun Dafa. They studied the Fa, did the exercises, and sent forth righteous thoughts, but they didn’t clarify the truth about the persecution to people.

The husband died recently—he was only 50 years old. The wife was shocked by his sudden death and became more diligent in her practice. She now talks to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and she’s helped many people withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She regularly sends us lists of people who’ve quit the CCP, typically containing 100 to 200 names, among them police officers.

I’ve observed that like this couple many practitioners want to clarify the truth to people but they’re afraid they’ll be persecuted. I know they feel torn because I’ve had the same experience. Through Master compassionate enlightenment I overcame my fear.

Many years ago, I tried to rescue a relative who was a practitioner and I was later targeted by a local Domestic Security Division officer. I was illegally detained for several months.

Fear took hold of me after I was released. Although I studied the Fa, did the exercises, and sent righteous thoughts, I was afraid to talk to people about Dafa or even to carry any materials, such as CDs, USB drives, or bookmarks which had information about Falun Dafa. I was too scared to do anything.

One night, I dreamed that someone wanted to take the crown off my head. I said frantically, “Don’t take it away!” I had the same dream on the next night and the night after that. I knew Master was telling me to hurry and awaken people, or I would no longer be worthy of being a Dafa practitioner.

On the morning of the fourth day, I went out to talk with people about Dafa, but I still felt afraid. I rushed home as soon as I helped one person quit the CCP, fearing I might be reported. It wasn’t until I got home that I was able to calm down.

This continued for the next few days. I rushed home after I helped one person withdraw from the CCP, and I was done for the day. My fear gradually subsided. I then carried truth-clarification materials and continued talking with people. Over time, my fear went away.

My father and I went to the market to buy groceries a few winters ago. On the way home, a man about my father’s age stopped me and asked, “Young lady, how do I get to such-and-such residential complex?”

I replied, “I know the way. I’ll take you there.” I then told my father to go home.

I walked with the man and told him about Dafa. He was a high-ranking military official who underwent dialysis every Friday. Although the government covered his medical bills, the treatment was grueling for him. He usually rode in a limousine, but that day he felt like walking.

I explained why I practice Falun Dafa, the health benefits, what the practice entails, the self-immolation hoax at Tiananmen Square, and the reason millions of Chinese have already withdrawn from the CCP. The man said, “I believe everything you’ve said, and I want to quit the Party. Do you need money?”

I said I didn’t need any money. He reached out and tucked in the collar of my cotton jacket, then said, “You’re about the same age as my daughter. It’s freezing out here.” I felt this man had been my father in a past life.

One day, as another practitioner and I walked by a hospital entrance, we encountered a high-ranking military officer. He was about 50 to 60 years old and was wearing a hospital gown. I told him how I benefited from practicing Dafa, and he said, “You’re so young. Why are you practicing Falun Dafa? I need to give you a good lecture.”

The practitioner and I immediately sent righteous thoughts to eliminate any interference. I said, “Falun Dafa is not how the CCP portrays it on television. We do not kill, stab others, or set ourselves on fire. If that were the case, people would not practice even if they were paid to. Falun Dafa is a spiritual discipline based on Buddhist tradition that guides practitioners to live in accordance with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident is a hoax staged by the CCP to incite hatred against Falun Dafa.”

The other practitioner continued sending righteous thoughts until the officer heard everything I had to say about Falun Dafa and agreed to withdraw from the CCP.

During a Dragon Boat Festival, something interesting happened. The streets were packed with people. I spoke with several people, but none of them quit the Party. Feeling dejected, I headed home and thought, “Master, the place is full of people. Why couldn’t I persuade anyone to quit the Party?”

Just then, a woman asked, “How do I get to the bus stop?” I walked with her to the bus stop, talked to her about Dafa, and helped her withdraw from the CCP.

No matter how difficult it seems, Master will help us as long as we have the heart to awaken people, overcome our fear, and do the work. Master and Dafa are all-powerful.
