A Young Fellow Waiting to Be Saved

Dec. 12, 2010 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Here is a story that happened not long ago: My wife was driving me to take care of some business. We were stopped at a traffic light and our car was hit from behind by another car. I stepped out of our car and found that the driver of the other car was a young fellow who had just gotten his driver's license. We went to the Motor Vehicle Police Office to report the accident, and I was trying to think of a way to tell him about Falun Dafa, but there were too many people around and the fellow was also busy pacing back and forth. On the one hand, I had worries about my safety. On the other hand, it looked as if I could not find a good chance to talk to him about Dafa.

When we finished handling the accident report, I stood by the gate of the office, not wanting to walk away. My wife asked me what I was waiting for, so I told her that I wanted to talk to the young fellow and clarify the truth. My wife also had worries that there were too many people around and since the authorities here knew my identity, it might not be so wise to do so.

At this point, a thought flashed in my mind: I must try to save him. The young fellow came out of the traffic office and walked directly toward his car, about to drive away. I stood behind his car at quite a distance and watched, thinking, "Oh, maybe I cannot do it." Just then, the young fellow opened his car door, as if he had realized something all of a sudden. He turned his head around and asked, "Hello again, is there something else that you needed?"

I told him about quitting the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and I told him that when he drove, he needed to watch out and take care. I then told him that I learned from a friend of mine that the Tiananmen self-immolation was a propaganda stunt and that Falun Dafa is good. He had never heard of quitting the CCP, and he agreed to do it on the spot.

Through this encounter, I have come to realize that people are truly eager to be saved. We do not have to go and find them--it is as if their awoken side is looking for us. Think about it, the young fellow was about to leave and I was about to give up the opportunity, but he turned around and asked me "Hello again, is there something else that you needed?" Through this, I also realized that when we handle issues, we need to be kind and merciful. When someone else causes an accident, if you did not act kindly and mercifully, or even fight with them from the standpoint of worldly gains, they will not be willing to listen to you.

There is not much time left, and the world's people are eagerly waiting to be saved. Whether we do well or not is closely related to our state of cultivation. I always felt bad and condemned myself afterwards whenever I encountered someone but missed the opportunity to tell him/her the good news. My understanding is that we should not be overly timid. Surely and confidently, using our righteous thoughts, we can lead the way.
