Saving Sentient Beings with a Sincere Heart

May 1, 2011 |   By Yu Lian from Shandong Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) I have practiced Falun Dafa since 1998. Before that, I was full of resentment and had many conflicts with others. Since practicing I came to understand the true meaning of life, and found the answers to many questions I had about life. I obtained good physical and mental health, and my family life also became harmonious.

In Master's lecture “Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People,” He asked us to “... begin comprehensively clarifying the truth.” I then took some flyers and went to a nearby market to talk to people about Falun Dafa for the first time. Many people were there and I wanted to talk to them, but I couldn’t get myself to speak. It was nearly closing time and I was worried that they may all soon leave. So in my heart I asked Master for help. A man in his 40s soon came up to me and asked where he could find a particular place. I immediately understood that it was Master bringing people with a predestined relationship to me. I told him the location of where he wanted to go and asked if he had heard that “Falun Dafa is good.” He replied “Not yet.” So I spoke to him about the practice and asked him to remember that “Falun Dafa is good.” I then asked him to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. He happily agreed and thanked me for helping him.

Since then, I have had no problem talking to people about Falun Dafa. I once spoke to an elderly gentleman who was selling condiments at the market. I went to buy something from him and asked if he had been told that “Falun Dafa is good.” He said he had received some truth-clarification materials and kept them safe at home. I told him, “I am a practitioner. Although I’m nearly 70 years old, I haven’t taken any medicine over the past 10 years. Our Master teaches us to be good; however, the CCP persecutes us.” He replied, “The CCP has almost come to its end. It is time for drastic changes.” As I was about to leave he pulled my hands towards him, and kept thanking me. I realized how eager sentient beings are to be saved!

I always send one thought before I speak to people: “Master, please help me. I must save this person.” One time, I thought of one of my classmates who lived about three miles away, and decided to visit her the next day. It was very windy and snowing heavily; however, there was only one thought in my mind, “Go to save her.” I was riding my motorbike and the wind was so strong that it almost blew me off and into a ditch. The snow on my face felt like a knife cutting into my skin. I considered it a test and started to recite “Plum Blossoms” from Hong Yin Vol. II. When I arrived at my classmate’s home, she knew that I must have something urgent and important to tell her, as I had traveled in such treacherous weather to see her. After I spoke to her about Falun Dafa, she said gratefully, “Such a good thing that you still remembered me. I’d like to quit the CCP.”

When I was teaching my grandsons to recite Master’s poems, I suddenly thought of saving other schoolchildren. I waited outside the school gates one time, and saw a lot of children coming out. I first sent forth righteous thoughts, and then asked the children which grade they were in. More and more children began to gather around me. I told them that I would ask one question to see who could be the fastest to answer it correctly. They seemed very interested. I then asked, “Would you like safety or danger?” They answered at the same time, “Safety.” I then spoke to them about Falun Dafa and asked them to quit the CCP’s Young Pioneers. A girl, who was in the fifth grade, carefully wrote her name down on a card and handed it to me, saying, “Thank you.” I urged them to remember “Falun Dafa is good” and sincerely wished them all happiness and safety.

In order to save sentient beings, we must first study the Fa well, as compassion and wisdom come from the Fa. We also need to sincerely treat sentient beings like our relatives and really care for them from the bottom of our hearts. Then we can truly save them.
