(Clearwisdom.net) As the progress of Fa-rectification speeds up, Dafa practitioners
sometimes find that they have the will but lack the strength to save large numbers of living beings
with their limited personal ability. I think that if one wants to improve this phenomenon, one must
make use of all possible resources in the ordinary people's world to help us; only then can we
defeat all the evil in a wide area and save sentient beings.
As the city grows, it is more and more common for people to move together and choose apartment-style
living. This phenomenon gives us a positive condition for clarifying the truth; we can tell many
people the truth without having to travel, and furthermore, as long as we make ample use of
community resources, we can obtain good results even without meeting people face to face.
The area where I live has several large apartment buildings. I obtained permission from the person
in charge, so now I can post Dafa articles around this area. I also obtained support from the person
in charge of the borough so that we could use the bulletin boards in other communities within the
borough to clarify the truth. At the beginning I had much difficulty doing this; there are often
people who tore down the Dafa posters. Yet as the number of articles posted increases, this
condition became less frequent; now there is nobody doing this thing anymore. I think that those who
ripped down the Dafa posters would somehow read a bit of the contents, and as his/her understanding
of Dafa became more and more positive, that person would no doubt stop doing deeds that injure
others and not benefit oneself. Furthermore, before when I tried to hongfa (introducing Dafa to the
public) and clarify the truth to the neighborhoods, many people gave me strange looks. As their
understanding of Dafa becomes clearer, most people have accurate and positive knowledge about Dafa,
and overall people have changed their hostile attitude towards Dafa. Many people have become
interested in learning Falun Dafa.
Usually bulletin boards are placed at the entrance or at place where lots of people pass by;
therefore, we are also clarifying the truth to the passersby. Moreover if we clarify the truth this
way, it does not take up much of our time, and ordinary people do not feel the pressure of being
face to face with you. We can "tell" the truth even more thoroughly and systematically.
Much of the material can be read in a few minutes; it does not take up the time of those who are
busy. Therefore I think that using bulletin boards is a good idea. Certainly, clarifying the truth
face-to-face is also a very good method and can sometimes obtain results that could never be
achieved by other methods.
Also, if we can change the postings frequently, we can post an introduction to Dafa, stories about
the persecution, short heart-warming stories, stories of people who have had their health improved,
or experience sharing stories. If the bulletin board can only be used now and then, it is better not
to directly post truth-clarifying materials, in order to avoid seeming too intrusive. I think that
we could use these boards to invite people to classes/seminars, and put the truth clarifying stories
into the seminar advertisement flyers. This way when people look at the bulletin board, they can
feel the Dafa practitioners' kindness and tolerance and contrast that with the evil's deeds.
If an individual's department at work has a Falun Gong club registered, I would sometimes distribute
flyers to different units in the club's name, and most departments will distribute the seminar
advertisement flyers. This way is also very effective.
The above is my personal understanding; wherever it is inappropriate, please kindly point out the
mistakes.
