Dafa Transforms Would-be Murderer Into Compassionate Being

July 30, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) At the largest used goods exchange in our province, you can find almost everything you need, from mining equipment to automobile parts to button batteries.

I needed a rechargeable battery originally manufactured in Japan. While I was talking to the exchange manager about the battery, a middle-aged man approached us asking in a low voice if we had guns for sale. He thought I was a co-owner. The manager replied, "No." The man didn't want to give up so he turned to me, "I heard you can buy anything here, including guns. Can you tell me where I can possibly find a gun?" He looked very gloomy and malnourished. It seemed he held great grudges. After some talk, he began to trust me and then told me the following:

"I used to be a farmer with some education. I was able to get into a local business and eventually became a marketing director. Once we had a truckload of goods worth 180,000 yuan to deliver. Because I didn't offer bribes to the commerce department soon enough, all the goods were confiscated. In other words, the law enforcement officers took all the goods. No refund, no receipt. I tried to sue them for two years, to no avail. My family was broken up because of this incident. I had no choice but to come to a different city. I collected used books, newspapers and pop cans to make a living. I have no house to live in, so I stay in a farmer's barn, and I never know where I'm going to find my next meal. I once read a story about a person killing an official for the injustice he received, and I was inspired. Since this society does me injustice, I'll kill some people to create a buzz. No official in this society is clean. If I have to kill someone, it will be a high-ranking official. I've collected a few names of those officials, and I plan to kill some of them, to vent my revenge and making a name for myself..."

While listening to his story and reading his appeal letter, I thought to myself, "I must save him." We arranged to meet a few more times afterwards, and each time I clarified the truth to him. Once I recited Lunyu to him and he was shocked! Soon he found a copy of Zhuan Falun while collecting used books. From then on, he began studying the Fa. Every time he finished reading the book all the way through, he made a mark on the wall.

I kept in touch with him, bringing him more truth clarification materials and new lectures by Teacher. I also offered him some financial help. Gradually he regained hope for his life and came to understand the meaning of being a human being. He later found a temporary job. Even though the job was tiring, the boss liked him a lot, and praised him as a hard-working employee.

This man once found a wallet with over 1,000 yuan in it near his workplace, and he asked what he should do. I told him he's already a practitioner and he should follow the principles of Dafa. When we met again he told me excitedly that after giving it some thought, he posted a lost and found sign at his workplace.

I tried hard to hold back my tears. Looking at the marks he made on the wall after reading the Fa, I cried in my heart, "Teacher, how compassionate you are!"
