(Clearwisdom.net) Greetings, esteemed Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!
I feel very lucky to participate in the Seventh Internet Experience Sharing Conference. Master has emphasized in His many teachings the importance of doing well the three things that every Dafa disciple should do. I want to share with Master and practitioners my experiences in this regard.
As far as I am concerned, studying the Fa well is a basic guarantee for reaching consummation
I began to cultivate Dafa in 1997. I study three lectures of Zhuan Falun every day. Sometimes I could finish reading Zhuan Falun in only one or two days. The solid foundation of studying Zhuan Falun before July 20 helped me to remain steadfast until today.
All the news on TV on July 22, 1999, were slanders of Dafa. I was so angry that I couldn't eat anything. Then I remembered a paragraph from Zhuan Falun:
"At a certain point in time, you will be made unable to discern clearly whether something is true, whether your gong exists, whether you can practice cultivation and make it, or whether there are Buddhas and if they are real."
I knew Master was giving me a hint.
After that, I paid more attention to Fa study. I learned to type Zhuan Falun into the computer. This way I studied the Fa and practiced typing. This skill helped me later when I submitted lists of people who quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or sent my experience sharing papers to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website.
On my frequent business trips, I had to load and unload all the goods by myself. I was tired when I returned home. But when I listened to Master's lectures, Master helped me adjust my body, and I recuperated quickly. So, after I sent righteous thoughts at midnight, I often listen to the Fa for half an hour.
Sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in other dimensions
Initially I didn't take sending righteous thoughts seriously. I only sent them at the four global times, and I was just holding the positions, not doing it seriously with my thoughts.
Later on, after I studied Master's articles, I understood the importance. I corrected my hand gestures. After I reached the state of tranquility, I felt very warm.
As of 2006, I added three more times - at eight, nine, and ten o'clock.
Having recently read several articles written by practitioners whose celestial eyes are open, I had a deeper understanding of the importance of sending righteous thoughts. I began to send righteous thoughts on the hour, time permitting. Recently I sent righteous thoughts for an hour with local practitioners. I reached a deep tranquility and felt a strong energy field around me.
Clarifying the truth to people in person and persuading them to quit the CCP
At the beginning of the persecution, I didn't know what to do. After I studied Master's new articles, I understood that I should clarify the truth to other people. Now that the situation is getting better and better, I can talk about more and more things when I explain the facts. I have seized every opportunity to clarify the truth to sentient beings and persuade them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
While attending a short computer course, I clarified the truth to my classmates. They all came from other cities. I had a lot of difficulty understanding their accent to communicate with them. Master helped me to unlock my wisdom. Then I asked them to remember, "Falun Dafa is good." At first I couldn't speak Mandarin very well, but now I have learned to clarify the truth in the Mandarin language. This is also a process of cultivating my xinxing and removing my attachments.
When a former colleague came to my city, we got together for dinner. I didn't have a chance to talk to him until the dinner was over. We took photographs, and then he planned to drive back to Hunan Province. I was worried. The camera broke as we were taking the second photo. I went outside with him, quickly explained the truth to him, and encouraged him to quit the CCP. He took brochures and copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, promising to look at them very carefully after he got home. Although he didn't then quit the CCP, he had laid the foundation for future salvation.
An invitation to a wedding made me plan to take this opportunity to clarify the truth and distribute Shen Yun DVDs. Once I got to the hotel, I found I had left my gift at home. The wedding was about to start. I took a taxi ride on an electric tricycle and went back home to get the gift. I clarified the truth to the driver. He understood and agreed to quit the CCP with his real name. I realized that Master had arranged for me to rescue the driver.
When I was reciting "In One Thought" from Hong Yin II, the sentence "Credit and honor are not what is on my mind" echoed loudly in my mind. I realized that Master was giving me a hint. I had previously kept the list of people who quit the CCP with my help and had developed the attachment to zealotry. Discovering my attachment, I destroyed the list. It's the same with all the other projects. As soon as I finish any project, I recite this sentence to prevent myself from developing any attachments.
Using paper bills with truth-clarification messages written on them
I began to use paper currency with truth-clarification messages written on it in 2007. The first time I used the paper money with truth-clarification messages, the vendor not only looked at the messages himself, but also passed it on to others. This encouraged me to be more confident.
Let truth-clarification material production sites flourish everywhere
At first we paid ordinary people and asked them to print all the truth-clarification brochures for us. As of the second half of 2007, I began to copy the materials by myself with a copying machine that a practitioner gave me. I wasn't familiar with its functions at first. The paper often jammed or the wrong page was copied. The evil also interfered with me. I experienced the many issues that practitioners encounter when producing truth-clarification materials.
My wife is also a practitioner. At that time, while others celebrated Chinese New Year, we made truth-clarification materials from 7:00 a.m. until midnight. Then I went to the countryside to distribute them.
I remember once when I was walking that my body was light; it felt like someone was pushing me. That was the first time I had felt that since I started cultivation practice. That afternoon, I took a rickshaw because the destination was very far. I clarified the truth to the rickshaw puller, and he quit the CCP with his real name. After we arrived at the destination, a big German shepherd suddenly confronted us, but didn't bark or bite us. I quickly put the materials on a windowsill and left. Having finished distributing the materials, I still felt my step was very light, so I walked back home. Although I had walked several hours that afternoon, I didn't feel tired at all. It was really amazing.
Later we bought our own copy machine. Many practitioners have set up truth-clarification material production sites at home. We took care of the production of materials ourselves and distributed them every week.
Distributing Shen Yun DVDs
When the 2009 Shen Yun DVD came out, my wife and I distributed many discs in the markets, at the shops, or on the buses. People were glad to accept them. In the process of distributing Shen Yun DVDs, I got rid of many attachments such as fear, jealousy, and the mentality of arguing with others.
To offer more sentient beings salvation, I went to many barbershops in recent years. At each such shop I gave out one disc. Once when I gave the owner a DVD, he said, "You are so nice to give me this DVD." After a brief introduction, he began to play it in his shop. When I left, many people were still watching the performance.
I learned to burn DVDs and print the disc cover with a practitioner's help, when the 2010 Shen Yun performance DVDs were issued. I examined every disc to make sure there wasn't a quality problem.
As long as we have a steadfast and firm belief in Master and Dafa, we will be able to do the three things well on our cultivation paths arranged by Master. After Master's new article "Be More Diligent" came out, I realized that we can only offer more sentient beings salvation by cooperating with each other as one body. This is something Master wants us to do.
The above are some of my understandings based on my limited level. I welcome fellow practitioners to compassionately point out anything improper.
