(Clearwisdom.net) After reading the article "A Time for Fireworks and Celebration" and other related articles on minghui.ca, I realized that lighting fireworks is a manifestation of the current Fa rectification progress. We can use this chance to save sentient beings, and eliminate the evil factors related to Jiang Zemin in other dimensions. We chose July 20th, and three Dafa practitioner families from three different villages to light fireworks on that day.
Step One: Lighting Fireworks in Three Villages
It was 7:00 o'clock in the morning when practitioner A was lighting the fireworks. The villagers heard the fireworks and came to ask why. He replied "Jiang Zemin is brain dead, and is on the verge of death. We light fireworks to exorcise the devil. He is responsible for the deaths of so many Falun Gong practitioners, and many more have been illegally jailed and sent to labor camps. Some practitioners' organs are harvested while they were still alive. He has no conscience at all. If you have not withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, please hurry up. You will have a good future." He continued "I hope you go home and light fireworks too. It will bring you good luck." The villagers replied, "Very well!" The practitioner followed this with "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" The whole street was full of people. Some were listening quietly and some were asking questions. From their expression and words we could tell they admired Falun Dafa practitioners. An elderly lady who was over sixty years old started to dance with joy. The sentient beings were changing. The scene was very touching.
After finishing his fireworks, practitioner A told practitioner B "Bring your fireworks over, and we can light them together." Practitioner B said "No. I need to take care of the evil in my village." Then he went home to light his fireworks. The scene was very nice too.
Practitioner C's husband does not practice Falun Gong. He did not want practitioner C to light fireworks. Practitioner C said "Lighting fireworks is a good thing. I have been persecuted by the CCP for so many years. Jiang Zemin is dying. Aren't you happy? You should not stop me, you should help me." Then she climbed to the roof and asked her husband to bring up the fireworks. Her husband brought the fireworks up. He was happy to see many people coming to see the fireworks.
Practitioner C said "Jiang Zemin is brain dead, and he is dying. We light fireworks to get rid of him, so he has no chance to do any more evil or harm our people." She talked about the persecution she had endured and a lot of other things. The neighbor’s relatives were visiting, a political commissar from the military. The neighbor told his relative "My neighbor (Practitioner C) would have lost her life if she did not practice Falun Gong. Her illnesses were all incurable. Now she is a healthy person."
While lighting the fireworks, things changed. Before we had to look for people to clarify the truth of Falun Gong to, now people come in groups to ask for the truth while we are lighting the fireworks. The truth of Falun Gong is spreading among the villages. Righteousness is on the rise. Our city belongs to one of the areas where Falun Gong practitioners were persecuted especially severely. An public activity like this in support of Falun Gong has never happened since the persecution began.
Step Two: Two Townships Lighting Fireworks at the Same Time
We planned to light fireworks at two townships at the same time. We arranged to start at 7:30 p.m. But the rain did not stop until nearly 7:30 p.m. The daughter of a practitioner asked, "Can we still do it?" At 7:25 p.m., we sent out righteous thoughts: we will not change the time. I shouted to the sky "The rain must stop now!" Fellow practitioners then started to bring the fireworks out and the rain was suddenly much lighter. At 7:30 p.m., the rain stopped completely, and the sky lit up.
When people heard the fireworks, they came out. Now they already knew why we were lighting fireworks. So we chose an open place in a busy area to light the fireworks. We started with firecrackers, followed by fireworks. People's expressions were serene. Standing in an orderly fashion they were listening to the practitioners explain the facts. Students kept asking questions and people were listening quietly. The scene was very touching.
In another village, before lighting the fireworks, practitioners said to people around them "While we are lighting fireworks, if you can shout 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!' you will be rewarded with a good future." Then he started to light the fireworks. The first attempt was not successful. A person in the crowd said "Why not hurry up?" the practitioner relied, "Why don't you start to shout?" Then the crowd shouted "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" The scene was sacred and spectacular!
After finishing the fireworks and truth clarification, someone said "I heard your songs are very good. Could you sing for us? " The practitioners said "Sure." One practitioner brought a book of Falun Gong songs and started to sing. The songs with compassion filled the air. Many students were following along. They went through the whole book, from beginning to the end. People stayed around until 10 p.m.
A Fa study group at a village doubled its participants several days after the fireworks and truth clarification. Many former practitioners came. Many practitioners were moved to tears by this. Thank you compassionate Master. Many former practitioners came back and many sentient beings are saved.
The success of the above two steps encouraged us a lot. We started with step three.
Step Three: Lighting Fireworks Throughout the City
After seeing the great effect of lighting the fireworks, we decided to light fireworks throughout the city at the same time.
Several hundred people gathered together to listen to the truth of the Falun Gong during the process. Separation among practitioners in our area was a big problem before. However, this time we experienced the strength of coordination and the power of the Fa.
In the evening I and fellow practitioners went to a village five Li (about 2 miles) away to distribute Falun Gong fliers. When we got on the road, a Falun was spinning in front of us, and guided us to our destination. The Falun accompanied us until we finished the distribution. We know Master was encouraging us. Actually, what can we accomplish on our own? Master was doing this. All Master requires of us is our pure willingness to save sentient beings. We thank Master for His protection and guidance!
Lighting of the fireworks in our city changed our city a lot. People are changing, and our environment is changing. The Buddha Fa is boundless!
