(Clearwisdom.net) The recent announcement seeking literary works to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day made me ask myself, "What does it mean to validate Falun Dafa? How is the wonderfulness and righteousness of Falun Dafa best displayed to the world?" I recalled a story published on Clearwisdom which told us about a young man named Liu Xuguo in Shandong Province.
Mr. Liu attended the Falun Dafa lectures held by Master Li in 1994 in Heze City, Shandong Province. He was so excited and hoped to spread this unprecedented great way to all as quickly as possible. Mr. Liu and several other practitioners used a classroom to play the videos of Master lecturing on the Fa. He and the others also went to the streets to promote the Fa lecture videos. Mr. Liu always arrived early with the TV set and DVD player. Because it was an abandoned classroom, there were no chairs or desks, so he and the other practitioners moved desks and dozens of long benches from another classroom that was quite far away. After the lecture, they put the furniture back.
Several dozen people arrived on the first day, and they left rather fast afterwards. Mr. Liu and his friends moved back the tables and chairs for school the next day, spending quite a long time in the process. The next evening the classroom was full, as more people came than the day before. After the session, some people stayed to help move the tables and chairs back without anyone asking for assistance. On the third day, even more people showed up. Some students stood up to let the newcomers sit. Even more stayed to help clean up, and the moving back of furniture was done rather quickly.
Years later, I am still deeply moved when reading this article. The power of the Buddha Fa opened up people's Buddha nature. Without orders or requests, people turned to goodness from within. Only the true Buddha Fa has such mighty power. Master teaches us,
"The main purpose of our cultivating Falun Dafa is to bring people to high levels. While it does not intend to do such a thing, it can nonetheless assume a great constructive role by promoting spiritual civilization in society. If everyone searches internally and considers how to conduct himself or herself well, I would say that society will stabilize and the human moral standard will improve again." ("Upgrading xinxing," Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
Though we disciples validate Falun Dafa, all the wonderfulness and miracles are created by the Fa. We are then able to experience and relate these wonderful moments.
I then thought about whether such changes occurred around me. Although there are no fellow disciples near me and I still have a lot to improve upon, my cultivation is guided by Falun Dafa's principles. Hence, as I actively rectified myself, I saw my environment improve. These situations are all manifestations of the mighty power of Falun Dafa.
