Some New Experiences in Clarifying the Truth to Everyday and Religious People

April 6, 2007 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) As soon as I became aware of Teacher's recent article “Disintegrate Completely All the Meddling Deities in the Three Realms that Have a Hand in Interfering with Fa-Rectification” I read it six times in a row and experienced a very unique feeling. I could only take a hint from this wonderful and refreshing feeling, but it was beyond my ability to express in words. I felt as if my body grew a lot bigger. I enlightened to the fact that as a true practitioner I can feel the changes whenever Teacher pushes the Fa-rectification process further ahead since our bodies and every level of each dimension are interconnected. The publication of this article of Teacher's marked a new change in the process of the Fa-rectification. At the same time it is also a process of further improvement of practitioners in their understanding and assimilation of the Fa. It also reflects the different status of practitioners in the process of Teacher's Fa-rectification.

With the advancement of Teacher's Fa-rectification, the standards set for practitioners became higher and stricter. I can feel the urgency in saving sentient beings. The following are some experiences in “clarifying the truth” to everyday people and to religious people that fellow practitioners have shared.

Clarify the truth clearly and in depth

We have been talking about heaven eliminating the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and quitting the party to ensure your own safety for quite a long time. The publication of Teacher's recent article “Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World ” actually breaks through people's shells. The important thing for practitioners is to choose the correct angle when talking to different people, and always send forth righteous thoughts first. One day when I met a stranger I said to him, “Hello, friend. Have you ever heard 'Heaven eliminates the CCP and quitting the party ensures your own safety?'” He replied, “Yes, I have, but I don't know how I can do it.” I said, “Since the CCP took power it brainwashed every Chinese person. You and I were dragged into this largest of evil cults—the CCP—unwittingly. The CCP has turned the Chinese into one big brain. We all follow it, even though it has killed so many people, and now it is persecuting Falun Gong. Heaven will eliminate the CCP. Let's quit this evil Party as soon as possible.” Very quickly he said he wanted to quit the CCP.

In clarifying the truth to acquaintances you may find that they will agree to quit the CCP fairly quickly. However, we must explain to them the reason for doing so from a range of aspects to make sure that they really understand. Otherwise, interference could make them go back on their word. Many practitioners had the same sharing on this issue. Under Party rule the Chinese people have developed a mentality of fear to differing degrees, so we must clarify the truth to them fully and clearly.

From what angle can we clarify the truth to the grass roots officials of the CCP? Practitioners' wisdom comes from Dafa—the Great Way. We enlightened to the importance of why Teacher repeatedly asked us to study the “Fa” well. Facing those who need to be saved it is important to find the right perspective. As long as practitioners study the Fa well they will be able to keep up with the Fa-rectification and Teacher will give us wisdom.

One day when clarifying the truth to a customer I said, “My friend, have you ever heard 'Heaven eliminates the CCP and quitting the Party ensures your own safety?'” He asked in return, “Why are you unhappy about the CCP?” I said, “It's not personal. Because of your support, my business is going well.” When he heard that, he was very happy. Then I said, “In its previous political movements the CCP killed and persecuted a lot of people. Today if ordinary people want to get anything done they must first hand over gifts to their local officials, and the lower ranking officials will have to present gifts to the higher officials.” I noticed that he listened quietly, so I began to talk about my main theme, “Falun Gong began to spread all over China in 1992. Everyone from the local government to the central government praised that form of exercises and gave it a lot of awards. However, seven years later the CCP began to suppress Falun Gong, said a lot of bad things about Falun Gong, and the Chinese Central Television Station fabricated lies about the staged self-immolation.” Then he said, “I understand these things.” I simply let him finish and then asked, “Have you noticed that this year's weather was quite abnormal? Unusual things tend to happen whenever abnormal weather appears. There are good guys and bad guys in the Communist Party. Heaven will eliminate the bad guys. Let us, the good guys, withdraw from the Party! Everyone is equal when disaster descends, even the president of China will be no exception. You can quit the Party using whatever name you like. It is done to inform the heavens.” He said with pleasure that he wanted to quit the Party. He thanked me for helping him to quit. Later I learned that he is a bureau official.

A change in the environment

There seemed to be a change in the environment in clarifying the truth to religious people. It is now easier for them to accept the truth. In our previous sharing, fellow practitioners all found it was difficult to clarify the truth to these people. Now it is easier. Since Teacher published the article “Disintegrate Completely All the Meddling Deities in the Three Realms that Have a Hand in Interfering with Fa-Rectification,” a large number of the meddling deities have been eliminated. The remaining part is actually the process of how practitioners understand the Fa and improve and upgrade themselves at the present stage, as well as their doing a good job in the “three things” requested by Teacher.

For example, I knew an educated Christian, and I talked to him about the three withdraws (withdrawing from the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers), but he refused to listen. I met him again recently. I was doing farm work and he seemed reluctant to leave. He followed me wherever I went. I suddenly realized that he had come to listen to the truth about the three withdrawals. I sent forth righteous first to eliminate the meddling deities behind him that interfered with his learning the truth. Then I asked him, “Do you know the 'Book of Revelation' in the Bible?” He answered, “Of course I know it.” I said, “Do you remember the line in that book 'The evil beast will attack God with his mouth for forty-two months?' Do you know that it refers to the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, so now Heaven wants to eliminate the CCP? No matter what religion you believe in, be it Christianity, Catholicism, any other religion, or no organized religion, it is true that the CCP has used 50-years of brainwashing to drag every Chinese person into this largest evil cult in an effort to destroy all the Chinese people. Let's quit the CCP now and secure our safety.” He said quickly, “Yes, yes” and he happily quit the CCP.

Judging from the above cases we can see that it's a lot easier to clarify the truth to everyday people now. It has been especially helpful to mention the abnormal weather, which is a very sensitive topic. To clarify the truth to religious people is the same, especially after Teacher published the new article “Disintegrate Completely All the Meddling Deities in the Three Realms that Have a Hand in Interfering with Fa-Rectification.” Teacher has continued to give practitioners more wisdom and at the same time taught us to eliminate all the meddling deities that are interfering with the religious people learning the truth.

Through Fa study and clarifying the truth I enlightened to the fact that the number of people to be saved is decided by the power of the Fa, so we should not have too strong of an attachment about it. As a matter of fact, Teacher has been doing everything, and practitioners are just doing things on the surface, which is an important process of cultivation in the Fa-rectification period.

These are just some of my very shallow understandings. I have written this article to share with fellow practitioners so that we can improve together and do a good job with the three things Teacher has requested of us, and keep up with the Fa-rectification process.
