(Clearwisdom.net) Lately I've found that while clarifying the truth and encouraging people to quit the Communist Party, for many it only takes a few words before they happily agree. The process moves swiftly without any obstacles and it feels as if sentient beings have been waiting for this moment for a long time. After helping someone quit the Party and cast off the shackles from the Communist specter, I can see him or her become relaxed and joyful. Indeed, life is worth cherishing, and has magnificent origins. Especially with today's people, many have come from high levels with missions. Next to the task of quitting the Party and saving lives, is there anything more important and pressing?

One day a friend of mine that I hadn't seen for a long time was in the area and arranged to meet me in a restaurant. We met and chatted briefly, and then I moved towards the main topic and asked him if he had quit the Party. He said he had not; however, I could tell that he wasn't at all taken aback by my question. It turned out that he had already heard of the wave of people withdrawing from the Party. When I talked to him about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, he said "I have read the Nine Commentaries. It is very well written and the contents are factual and incisive. It is a factual book, indeed a special book." I replied to him by saying: "Did you know about the stone in Guizhou Province?" He asked me what kind of stone. I told him: "In Zhangbu Township of Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, there is a large slab of stone. On its surface are six Chinese characters that were naturally formed: 'The Chinese Communist Party is Finished'. It's even printed on tourist tickets to the area, but when the state-controlled media reported it, they intentionally blacked out the 'is Finished' part, leaving only 'The Chinese Communist Party' to dupe people. But in fact there is a stone carved by Heaven that advises today's people to quickly withdraw from the Communist Party."

He looked at me and was about to say something, then decided not to. I said: "To look to the heavens and proclaim to the Gods that you will quit the evil Party and erase the mark of the beast, this is being responsible to your life and choosing your future. Right now the opportunity to quit the Party is precious. For a human being it is so important and crucial. He doesn't need to spend a cent, he doesn't need to use his real name, it doesn't require him to go through the Communist Party's organizations, it doesn't have any impact on his everyday work or life. It's purely a beneficial and harmless thing to do without a single drawback, and at the same time it has a huge influence on the future of your life. At this critical moment in history, what misgivings could you possibly still have about quitting the Party? Don't lose this chance!"

My friend sighed with regret and explained that a family member who practices Falun Gong had encouraged him to quit a number of times. However he had never agreed, thinking that if the Party collapsed then naturally he wouldn't be a part of it anymore. He hadn't realized that withdrawing was such an important matter for a person's life. But listening to me today sincerely raised this matter, he had awakened to its importance. He quietly sat thinking for a while, then resolutely said that he would quit this evil Party. A short while later he said to me, laughing, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and a chat with you has been so hard to come by. Today I have found you in order to quit the Party." I said: "When old friends reunite, it is due to a predestined relationship. This matter is the most important thing in one's life. I'm happy for you and wish you good fortune."

My friend finally quit the Communist Party. That is of course something to celebrate and cherish. But what I think is, in the time since The Epoch Times solemnly released the Nine Commentaries in 2005, although there are already more than 60 million people who have quit the Communist Party's evil organizations, there are still so many like my friend who heard the truth long ago and know what's going on, but have missed these precious opportunities again and again, stubbornly refusing to quit. These chances don't come every day and are hard to come by. As soon as a being has missed all his chances, what meaning could be left in that person's life? Only by following Heaven's will can we guarantee peace, safety and good fortune, but how many people today still refuse to acknowledge that Heaven will eliminate the Communist Party, that the future of their life hangs on a single thought? People have to understand that quitting the Party to guarantee one's future is a special opportunity in the cosmos's renewal, and is Gods' and Buddhas' greatest compassion towards humankind. If at the end a life still misses this chance, one will eternally be unable to make up for it. Master said in "Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World":

"When that chapter of mankind's history starts, there will be no more chances for human beings. Through clarifying the truth, Dafa disciples have given plenty of chances to human beings. In today's historic time, human beings must choose a path for the future of their existence. Whether someone listens [to us] or not is a way in which he chooses his future."

In the years leading to today, in the process of encouraging the world's people to quit the Party, I have realized that we must treasure and cherish every precious predestined meeting, which is treasuring and saving every sentient being. Master recently reminded us during the "Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website's Founding":

"Based on how much you have done so far, the number is not enough. It's not that I want to keep some specific amount. Rather, we should save as many as possible, and at a minimum half should be able to remain; or ideally, it could be seventy or eighty percent. So that's why I have asked you to do your utmost to save them. I know that the majority of the people in this world came from above, which is a scenario different from what the gods saw when they made those arrangements back at the beginning."

Today there are so many high level lives, representing countless, colossal cosmic systems, who faced the danger, summoned their courage and came to the human world. They reincarnated here for thousands of years, and suffered the human world's myriad hardships, all for the sake of this final moment when they would be saved as Master rectified the Fa. Thinking about it this way, we really don't have any logical excuse to relax. We must make the most of this time, seize every chance that comes our way, and do our utmost to clarify the truth and save people. Only then will we be able to raise our heads in the face of the sentient beings' longing and waiting. Only then can we fulfill without regret our Master's expectations, and our sacred vows.
