(Clearwisdom.net) Since the 1980s, I had been treated by doctors in major hospitals for different illnesses. I had to see a doctor almost every three days. I spent most of my earnings on medical treatments but wasn't getting any better. I lost confidence in the doctors and began to think how great it would be if a supernatural being could heal my illnesses. In 1996, my wish came true when I came across Falun Dafa.
After watching Teacher's ten-day lecture videos, I felt that I had been reborn. I knew the true meaning of life and followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my everyday life. As I improved my character, my physical health gradually improved as well.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the illegal persecution of Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. My supervisor wanted me to write a guarantee statement renouncing Falun Dafa and asked me to turn in all my Falun Dafa books and video tapes. I did not comply. Police officers came to my workplace to harass me, but I wouldn't meet with them.
My family and relatives witnessed the miraculous improvements in my mental and physical health and knew that Falun Dafa was good. I also had explained the truth about the persecution to them in detail. They supported Falun Dafa and helped me transport and distribute Falun Dafa materials. My husband also had a very positive attitude toward Falun Dafa. Whenever I talked to others about quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations, he often helped me.
One day, a practitioner and I went out to distribute Falun Dafa fliers. The practitioner encountered some trouble in the first village we went to. I became a bit scared and didn't want to continue distributing anymore. Suddenly I saw that the fliers were glowing with a yellow-green light. I said to the practitioner, “Teacher is right next to us. There is no need to be afraid.” We finished distributing the fliers before we went home.
Helping a Stubborn Person Quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
The outcome of exposing the persecution and helping people to quit the CCP and its affiliates has everything to do with how I study the teachings. When I frequently studied the Fa and had strong righteous thoughts, the people I talked to would quit the CCP and thank me. When I slacked off in studying and had attachments, I was reluctant to talk to others about quitting the CCP and even when I did talk to people, the results were not good. In addition, I frequently had a notion that I would lose face if the people I talked to didn't quit. It was a selfish notion and I knew I had to eliminate it in my cultivation.
I tried to talk my younger brother-in-law, who was a police chief, about quitting the CCP. He wouldn't let me speak, and when I managed to say a few words, he would walk away from me. I did not give up. One time, when we were driving in his car, I told him about the beauty of Falun Dafa and talked about the corruption of the CCP. I told him that practitioners saved money on food and expenses so that they could make Falun Dafa information materials. He asked, “If Falun Dafa is such a good practice, does my older brother believe in it?” I told him that his older brother (my husband) also believed in Falun Dafa and had already quit the CCP. “If he didn't believe in Falun Dafa, why would he leave so many Falun Dafa fliers in your car?” I asked. He trusted me and said that he wanted to quit the CCP as well. He told me, “I want to donate 200 yuan for you to make more Falun Gong materials.” Before I got out of his car, he was really excited and said that he wanted to donate another 300 yuan and asked me to help his mother, child, and wife to quit the CCP so that they would stay safe. I told him to remember that Falun Dafa was good.
A few days ago I talked to a manager in a company about Falun Dafa. He said he was an atheist and believed in nothing. He also refused to quit the CCP. I said, “The CCP is corrupt; do you agree with that?” He said he agreed. I began to describe how corrupt the CCP was. He was very interested and listened to me for 40 minutes. He said, “I've never talked with anyone who could analyze the CCP in such profound ways. I will quit the Party, and I believe that Falun Dafa is good.” I gave him an amulet (1) and a Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD. He was very happy. The next time he saw me, he was very friendly and sincere.
Most of the time I expose the persecution to people face to face. Teacher said in “Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital,”
“The focus for you right now is simply to find ways to do better, to be more efficient, to have a greater impact, and to save more people.”
I will continue to do my best, let go of “self,” and save more people.
Promoting Shen Yun While Visiting Relatives Abroad
In November 2009, I went to the U.S. with my husband to visit a relative. I found the local practitioners when I got there and told them I wanted to help clarify the facts and distribute fliers. A practitioner gave me a lot of Shen Yun pamphlets. Things were different than they were in China. I distributed the fliers in the morning instead of at night, I hung them on doorknobs instead of placing them on the ground. I distributed between 100 and 200 copies in three hours and had to walk a long way.
One day I got lost and couldn't find my way. I was very worried and told Teacher, “It is not an accident that I can't find my way home. Because I didn't progress diligently, I couldn't find my way to follow Teacher home. From now on, I will practice and progress diligently.” I walked straight ahead and found my way home.
There weren't any practitioners in the area I lived, so many people didn't know what Falun Dafa was. After delivering Shen Yun pamphlets, I began to distribute Falun Dafa fliers. Before I returned to China, I intended to stop distributing the flyers. One morning while I was meditating, I opened a door and saw a city. The villas there were all very clean and had white walls. I thought that there might be a city like this that was waiting for me to deliver Falun Dafa information. Several days later, my daughter, who was not a practitioner, asked me to bring my fliers and drove me to another city. The city she took me to was the city I saw when I was meditating. From then on, we went there and delivered 200 fliers each day. The day we finished distributing all the fliers, I told me daughter that she had done something extraordinary. She said that she felt very comfortable and relaxed that day and was not tired at all.
On January 7, we saw the Shen Yun show. I was very excited and in tears. After the show, my husband became more willing to go out and distribute Falun Dafa materials with me. Also, his health kept improving and he was more energetic. Things were going better for him than ever before.
I still have human notions after so many years of practice. For example, I sometimes don't want to give out materials to people in person. I sometimes get lazy and prefer to sleep instead of going out to clarify the facts. When coordinating with others, I feel that I am still not up to Teacher's expectations. I must progress more in the practice.
Note: (1) Amulets – In China, practitioners sometimes "clarify the truth" by giving people something small to wear or cherish, bearing a few words reminding them of the goodness of Dafa.
