A practitioner from Gothenburg told me that 14 Chinese prosecutors had come to study human rights at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute in my home city, Lund. The practitioner had come down to introduce Friends of Falun Gong to the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, which is an organization that works for human rights and has a cooperative arrangement to asssist law education in China. We wanted to meet with the Chinese prosecutors but we couldn't find them that day. The institute said they were not there, but promised to give them our CD's.
During the next few days I kept thinking about these Chinese people, wondering how I could find them. I thought to myself, "They must still be here, I can feel it." The day after we heard they planned to leave soon, I was biking to an old friend's to watch a movie and there they all stood, wearing nice suits and holding briefcases. They no doubt thought that they were waiting for the bus, but actually in their hearts they were waiting for the truth. I saw that I only had three minutes until they would leave and I got confused. I had their nice suits on my mind, and started thinking that I didn't have time, I had something to do, etc. I sent forth righteous thoughts and went to talk to them. They appreciated that I could speak a little Chinese and smiled. It was so tempting to hastily say that I was a Falun Gong practitioner and give them some material, but I knew that I had to do this with the dignity of a true Dafa disciple, without stress, pursuit or extreme behaviour. They would just laugh and say no if my mind was not right.
I said zaijian (goodbye) and sent forth righteous thoughts and still kept them close to my heart. A lot of attachments were exposed. Who had the power? Their suits and ignorant "I know best" thoughts? Isn't that just a superficial shell, the poison of the old evil forces? Did I see myself as an immense Buddha with boundless virtue and great dignity? Could I see their true hearts, their Buddha natures deep inside? Had I the courage and the honest heart to look them straight in their eyes through this dirty surface, and tell them the truth? Maybe these same prosecutors, because of not knowing the true facts, had sent many Falun Gong practitioners to labour camp or mental institutions.
The next day after school I went home and my mind was almost exploding. I knew I had let bad things into my mind and not studied the Fa well the last few days. I started to read, but then thought I should go and read at the railway station instead, because the fellow practitioner said that the prosecutors would probably be heading for Gothenburg that day. I had no idea when that would be so I sat down and read for about an hour and sent forth righteous thoughts. When I was finished, while still sitting in full-lotus I opened my eyes and there they were, about five meters from me. I thought: "OK, they're here, and they just seem to be waiting for the train." Then my head quickly got full of all kinds of very strong attachments, thinking of their suits again. My heart understood that I must do this with a right mind. I could not just jump up to them with this state of mind. I must do this with the dignity of a Dafa disciple and continue to stay within Master's beautiful arrangement. I closed my eyes to send forth righteous thoughts again. They said "Ah? Falun Gong, ah?" And then I heard the discussion going on quite intensely over there, since they saw the full-lotus and the beautiful hand positions of Dafa. I asked for Master's help, "I must do this righteously. I can't have these bad thoughts now." Then one of them came and stood close to me and when I was finished we started to talk, in a beautifully natural way, among all the people. Though I was just sitting there, because my heart was right they came to me. When I opened my eyes I talked in a calm and natural way. My mind was righteous, my voice was calm but still strong, and my eyes looked straight into theirs. I saw their big eyes looking with wonder at a calm western Dafa disciple.
Thus, I have learned an important lesson from this experience. Don't think that the handout material can do the job for you! You are the Dafa disciple; you are validating Dafa and exposing the evil. Don't make the material bigger than yourself. See the truth, see how small and pitiful their bad thoughts are and just help them eliminate their evil thoughts with the deep and calm smile of the mighty Buddha of Dafa. Don't get excited or afraid, just put yourself in the right position and see what's before you with the warm heart of a future Buddha. Didn't Master look at our hearts when we attained the Fa? There are no coincidences. Realise that you are saving people, saving universes.
