(Minghui.org) I'm a retired high school teacher. In the process of clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings, I believe that the most important thing is to study the Fa a lot. When I study the Fa well, my righteous thoughts are strong and saving sentient beings goes smoothly. When I have a lot of human attachments, my words lose the power of Fa, and people are indifferent to what I say and even refuse informational materials.
So I participate in group Fa-study often and also study the Fa by myself. This enables me to save sentient beings with compassion and wisdom from Dafa. I'd like to share some of my experiences saving sentient beings.
Former Class Monitor: “We Are All Safe Now”
Before I retired, I taught the senior graduating class several times. After college, my students moved away. I thought about how to clarify the truth to them to help them make the right choice. I contacted them and went their reunions when they came home for the holidays. I took truth clarification materials, copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Shen Yun DVDs, and small Falun emblems.
I'd arrive early and talk to each guest individually. By the time everyone arrived, most of them had already learned the facts.
Our conversations naturally focused on Falun Dafa. Some students asked questions, while others expressed doubt. I answered as best I could. They usually wanted to know what Falun Dafa is, why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes it, and what really happened during the staged “self-immolation on Tiananmen Square.” After listening to me, they would be eager to take my materials.
They not only quit the CCP organizations but also encouraged their family members to quit. One student said, “This reunion has been the most meaningful one ever. Thank you for telling us such a good thing!” I replied, “Thank Dafa's Master!” They replied, “Thank you, Dafa's Master!”
Several of my students worked in law enforcement. I told them not to participate in the persecution. They agreed. One of my students was the head of a local police station. He told me, “Teacher, I understand the truth now. I'll have a good future.”
At one reunion party, some students came in late. The class monitor told them, “Say hi to our teacher and make a statement.” Someone asked, “What statement?” The monitor replied, “We all know the facts about Dafa. We have all quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.”
Before I could say a word, students who knew the facts started to clarify the truth to those who had arrived late. One student said, “We told our teacher that all of us will quit the communist organizations.” The class monitor said, “We are all safe now!” The students all smiled.
Politics Teacher: Let the CCP Collapse
One of my colleagues taught politics. Every time we spoke over the phone, she complained about her illnesses. I had told her about Dafa, but she didn't agree. She thought Dafa was political. The last time she called me, I thought with determination, “I must save her.”
I knew that what she said to me over the phone was only superficial, and that her true self hoped to be saved. Master said:
“Dafa disciples are the sole hope of salvation for the beings in each region and each nation.” (“My Thanks to Sentient Beings Who Have Sent Greetings” from The Essentials of Diligent Progress VOL. III)
My sister and I bought some fruit the next day and took a long-distance bus to see my colleague. I also took Zhuan Falun, a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Shen Yun DVDs, and other Falun Dafa materials.
I told her, “I've brought you something great!” She said, “Show me!” I gave her everything I brought and said, “You know how ill I was before. Since I started practicing Falun Dafa, all of my diseases have disappeared. I've practiced for over ten years now. I haven't needed any medicine, and I feel a lot healthier. Because Falun Dafa is really a cultivation practice of both mind and body, it can cure illnesses and keep people healthy. Learn Falun Dafa. It is not an ordinary qigong practice; it is cultivation of Buddha Law, so it is supernormal.”
My sister recited a paragraph from Lunyu. My colleague was surprised and asked, “What book is that from? You can recite it? I must have a look at it.”
I told her, “It would be even better if you would quit the Communist Party organizations. Then you will be blessed and protected. The CCP is a foreign monster. If you don't quit it, you are part of it. When gods eliminate the CCP, if you are still a part of it, you will be eliminated. Wouldn't you regret it?” My colleague said, “Atheism is really evil. After listening to what you said, I feel much better. I'll quit all those communist organizations. Thank you for coming!”
I opened Zhuan Falun and showed her the picture of Master inside. I asked her to thank Master. She said, “I'll find a clean place to put Dafa books and read every one.” When we were about to leave, she told us, “After talking to you, I feel like my world view has changed. The CCP has deceived so many people. I hope the CCP will collapse.”
To save this teacher who had been poisoned by the CCP's lies, I spent a lot of time clarifying the truth to her. She has finally awakened. She quit the Party organizations and also started cultivating Dafa. I feel happy for her! She is truly safe now!
Indifferent Vendor Now Says “Falun Dafa Is Great”
I often clarified the facts to local vendors at a market and encouraged them to quit the Communist Party organizations. One of them was always indifferent. I bought some cooked food from his booth one day, and he accidentally gave me too much change. I returned the money to him. He was surprised and said, “Falun Gong practitioners are really good people. Where can I find a person as good as you these days? Please tell me more about Falun Gong.”
I told him, “Falun Dafa teaches people to be kind and to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Jiang Zemin and the CCP have persecuted Falun Gong, and have even killed practitioners to sell their organs for profit. The heavens will eliminate the CCP. Dafa is saving people. Quitting the Party organizations will help you stay safe.”
He said decisively, “Help me quit the communist organizations. Not only me, my family, too. We need to avoid disaster. From now on, I'll pay attention to Falun Gong.” Seeing the change in him after he learned the truth, I felt very happy for him. I saw a small television set in his booth, so I gave him a DVD. He accepted it with both hands. “I'll play the DVD to let everybody learn the truth. We shouldn't follow the CCP anymore.”
Now he often greets me by calling out things like, “Falun Dafa is great!” I normally reply, “Falun Dafa is great!” Sometimes other people echo us. I can feel that their joy comes from deep within their hearts, because they truly believe they will be safe.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. You must forge ahead or you will be pushed back. Fa-rectification is nearing the end. I'll make up for my shortcomings and cultivate myself well so that I won't leave any regrets. I'll save more and more sentient beings and fulfill my sacred vows.
Thank you, Master, for your merciful salvation!
Thank you, fellow practitioners!
