Keep in Mind the Importance of Rescuing Sentient Beings at All Times

May 7, 2007 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) One day in April a client I had never met before called me from over one thousand kilometers away, inviting me to come to his work place to design a small project on site. It was then not yet finalized whether or not they would proceed with this particular project. The client promised to pay for my travel expenses, but I was a little worried that such a long-distance trip might end up in vain. However, the client insisted I should go. I thought to myself, "Nothing we as cultivators encounter is accidental." I decided to go.

Upon arriving I learned that the client was an older gentleman in his 60s. We started to chat before I got involved in the project. As we chatted he started to berate the corruption in society. He said, "Jiang Zemin is the worst beast in China." I seized the opportunity to expose the evilness and crimes of Jiang's ruffian gang. Then I asked him whether or not he was a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) member. He told me he was a member, but it was against his will. He explained that he grew up in a wealthy family and received an excellent education; however, during the Cultural Revolution he was denounced and persecuted almost every day. Fortunately, he survived the Cultural Revolution. Later on, at his place of work, no one else but he was capable of undertaking the technical jobs. The factory director and CCP committee secretary at that time tried their best to persuade him to join the Party. He became an unwilling CCP member and held the role of factory director for over ten years. Although he was a Party member (in name only), he detested the CCP very much.

I then came to understand why he had called to invite me to design his project. On the human level he asked me to collaborate with him to help with his business. In actuality, it was Master who made the arrangement to have me come help him quit the CCP. I told him, "Give me an alias. I will help you quit the CCP." He gladly wrote down his alias, a name he had used before, and solemnly handed it to me. I knew I had not traveled this long distance in vain. Shortly after the conversation I helped him quit the CCP.

On my way home, other passengers on the train around me were commenting on current affairs. A young man from Ezhou City in Hubei Province told us a swindler had deceived him and persuaded him to leave his hometown to do business. He was trapped in multi-level marketing; he suffered a lot before he finally succeeded in escaping from the swindler. Then, another passenger from Handan City in Hebei Province talked about the "Self-immolation incident" at Tiananmen Square. I started to clarify the facts of the so-called "self-immolation." All of them were quite receptive. However, because of fear, I did not thoroughly explain the facts about Falun Gong.

We spent a whole night on the train. During the night some passengers departed, and new people boarded the train. At dawn people started to comment on current Chinese affairs again and continued with the topics from the day before. The young man from Hubei Province mentioned he had decided to write to the government to expose how swindlers had cheated him. He hoped the police would arrest all swindlers. At this point the conductor cut in, "It is of no use. Who would take care of such a thing? Swindlers are everywhere! Corrupt officials are everywhere! People appealing to higher levels are everywhere! Suppression goes on everywhere. As soon as you appeal, you will be arrested. There are numerous prisons in China and numerous cells in these prisons. Especially, all religious people who are sent to prison are being wronged without exception!"

As the conductor finished his comments a passenger from Xinyang City in Henan Province also began to mention the "Self-immolation." I took advantage of the opportunity and asked the conductor, "You have experienced a lot as you travel throughout China. You have also come into contact with more people than others. Do you know the true story of the 'Self-Immolation?' Do you believe it was done by Falun Gong practitioners?" The conductor answered affirmatively, "Absolutely impossible. It is absolutely impossible for Falun Gong practitioners to commit such a thing!"

I then clarified the facts about the "false fire" on Tiananmen Square at the top of my voice to my fellow passengers. The conductor kept an eye on us as he was cleaning up. I knew he was helping us by acting as a guard. Many people in our carriage learned the truth about Falun Gong. An old gentleman approached me and told me he was a face-reader. He noticed that my facial features indicate a huge bundle of fortune, and that I looked very honest and upright. I then told him, "I am blessed. I attribute all the blessings to my Master!"

I learned the following lessons during the trip:

Only by constantly improving our xinxing can we do Dafa projects smoothly. I was not very diligent before; as a result, people were not willing to accept the truth I shared with them. Now, things have started to change.

Master asked us to rescue sentient beings. We are still falling short in many aspects. As of now, many people still do not know that Jiang's gang staged the so-called "Self-immolation at Tiananmen Square." Their lack of awareness can be attributed to our not doing well in truth-clarification.

I will always remember: I am a Dafa disciple and nothing I encounter is accidental! I will seek every possible opportunity to rescue sentient beings.
