Clarifying the Truth on the Internet

Feb. 25, 2006 |   By a Taiwan Practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) I remember when I first discovered that I could chat with people and friends on the Internet. It was like discovering a new land. It seemed like I could not find a better way to clarify the truth to others. Not only that, I could clarify the truth 24 hours a day and use both pictures and words. I could deliver many truth clarification materials via the Internet. Sometimes, I could also chat with them by voice. It was not only economical for me but I was also able to have a flexible schedule. For a mother with two young children, it was the ideal situation! Therefore, after I completed my daily tasks, I was able to use the rest of my time in front of the computer. I closely researched how to pass on the truth to the precious Chinese people face to face.

In fact, using a computer was very new to me. When I first learned how to use it, I did not even know how to work the mouse. When I studied how to use the computer, this one thought was motivating me constantly; it was, "Computers are the most efficient way to save sentient beings." When I clarified the truth about Dafa to people on the Internet, at the beginning they cursed at me and sometimes even sent me viruses. The Internet secret agents and the myriad of content online also interfered with me. In the beginning, I selectively clarified the truth to people. I felt like these people on the Internet were not clear-minded, and I worried about their ability to understand the truth. Along with the Fa rectification process, I gradually noticed that they are also people who needed to be saved.

Due to the differences in the understanding of certain issues, at first I was afraid of sharing anything with the network team. I thought that, because I was not a computer expert, even if I joined them, I would not understand what they were sharing. Therefore, most of the time, I was clarifying the truth by myself. Since I did not collaborate with the team, I made some mistakes. Because my typing speed was slow, I sometimes copied articles from the Minghui website, or used the voice script from the phone team. I put different things together and it barely made any sense. Soon after that, I realized that even though I typed slowly, talking with people on the Internet brought about the best results. It came straight from my heart. The people's clear-minded side was patiently waiting for my slow but sincere call, and I made sure that they understood the truth.

During the process of spreading the The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, my family experienced financial difficulties. I therefore had to start working and helped with after-school classes. At the same time, I also had to take care of my kids. Due to my busy work schedule, I could no longer uphold the quality clarification of the truth. Sometimes I had to chat very early in the morning, and could only sleep for four hours. However, when I saw the people on the Internet choosing a bright future, I was very happy for them. Some people who had cursed me at the beginning told me that they were sorry and thanked me sincerely after they understood the truth. Their attitude changed dramatically. After some people received the software that can break through the Internet censorship, they told me happily that they also helped others to withdraw from the CCP. Some people even gave me suggestions on how to make truth clarification materials. Even police officers and soldiers told me that they would help spread the news. When I joined the center for withdrawing from the CCP, the power of the whole body became even stronger. Additionally, I was able to reduce the time I spent chatting with everyday people. Oftentimes, within the first 30 minutes, two or three people wanted to withdraw from the CCP. The chatting method fellow practitioners had invented was very good. Its fast performance was like "adding wings to a tiger"; it resolved many difficulties we had encountered before like slow network traffic impeding the video quality. I want to thank those fellow practitioners who have worked very hard in order to invent this software.

No matter what, as long as we have a compassionate heart when we clarify the truth, the results will always be good. No matter how busy I am at work, at home, or educating the children, I always find time to study the Fa and do the exercises. Whenever I sit in front of the computer, I feel a strong energy arising out of compassion, which helps me to calm down. Many people on the Internet told me that they already knew the information, but no one ever explained it to them, and they were not able to find a way to withdraw from the CCP. After they talked to me, they eventually understood the matter and were able to validate it. Before, they had always been suspicious about the accuracy of the information they received. They sincerely expressed their gratitude for my efforts. Therefore, I call on those practitioners who are able, to join the team with their righteous thoughts and righteous actions. Clarifying the truth through the Internet is a fast way to get rid of human attachments, and it is also a great way to save sentient beings with a great compassionate heart.

One of my children's celestial eye is partly open. He once told me, "Mom, brother and I were led by Teacher's law body to visit the Falun world. We saw that Teacher was teaching you how to use the computer. We were all dressed in gold clothes. The Falun world is glorious..." I agreed, "As Teacher told us, cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." I often heard fellow practitioners talking about their concerns about clarifying the truth on the Internet. Some even said that whenever they heard others talking about computer issues, they were very upset. They felt that they were under pressure and believed that it was all about showing off. Master says in Zhuan Falun:

"If you live very well among everyday people, how can you practice cultivation? How can your karma be transformed? How will you have an environment to upgrade your xinxing and transform your karma?"

Because it is hard, it can also show practitioners' great virtue. In addition, there are practitioners who think that clarifying the truth one-on-one can only save a small number of people. But those who understand the truth after talking with us will also become a medium for others to find out the truth. The cascading effect will be powerful once enough momentum is generated.

I again hear the familiar sound of the computer booting up and people logging on to the Internet. These are the signals to save one or thousands of beings. I was thinking about which video I should start playing for these people. The Fa rectification process is really fast. Fellow practitioners, let us take on our mission and our responsibility!
