(Minghui.org) During these years of assisting Master to validate the Fa, I have been cooperating with fellow practitioners to clarify the truth to sentient beings in my hometown. The sentient beings in my hometown ushered in a fruitful year after they understood the truth. Below is my cultivation experience of clarifying the truth to them.
During the 13 years of Master's rectifying the Fa, Dafa disciples in my hometown cooperated and helped Master to rectify the Fa by spreading the seeds of truth day and night. The seeds have finally taken root in people's minds, blossomed, and given fruit. Some persecutors had to admit that “Falun Gong is indeed powerful.”
Dafa has blessed the sentient beings in this area as they have understood the truth. In recent years while there have been frequent disasters elsewhere in the country, the harvest in my hometown has been surprisingly good.
This is especially so with the good weather we had this year. For various crops and fruits, there was a good harvest. There were so many peaches and apricots that it weighed down the branches, causing some of them to break.
I am a civil servant in my fifties and have been cultivating for 16 years. Looking back at my difficult cultivation journey, I understand that am a particle of Dafa and have been simply cooperating with other practitioners and doing a little work that's within my power.
Thirteen Years Have Passed as if One Day, Persisting in Distributing Materials
Since July 20, 1999, the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has madly slandered Falun Dafa and our revered Master. I was extremely sad. I had the following thought, “We must not let the evil attack unbridledly.”
I interacted with the practitioners around me and we reached a conclusion, “We should take immediate action to expose the lies, stop the evil from framing Dafa and Master, and help the people know the truth.”
We found ways of photocopying truth-clarification materials in large amounts and posting them in the county, township, residential quarters, etc. We persisted in doing this for quite some time.
We overcame various difficulties, and I established a materials production site in August 2006. I produced the materials during the day and distributed them at night. Initially, I distributed them mainly in the county and towns. Later, when practitioners started to buy motorcycles, we distributed the materials in neighboring counties, townships, and remote mountainous areas.
Because there were insufficient righteous thoughts, a strong attachment to doing work, and a lack of experience, practitioners were illegally arrested by the evil police during different periods of time since we started distributing truth-clarification materials to validate the Fa. I was also illegally arrested by the police in February 2001. Hence, this formed an incorrect thought among our practitioners, thinking that distributing materials was very risky. This caused some practitioners to hide at home and dare not take action to clarify the truth.
I calmed myself and studied the Fa intensively. I used the Fa to purify myself and increase my righteous thoughts. I copied Master's articles and brought them with me everywhere I went, so that I could study and memorize them at anytime. Through studying the Fa, I eliminated many human attachments, such as to doing things, zealotry, hatred, and fighting against the evil.
Master taught us, “... what you do then, with a pure heart, will be the best and most sacred.” (“Further Understanding” in Essentials For Further Advancement)
I used this Fa principle to guide myself and to elevate my xinxing, I got rid of the attachment of fear and my state changed. While distributing materials, everything went smoothly. Even if there was interference, any dangerous situations I encountered were peacefully resolved with Master's protection.
One afternoon in August 2007, I went to a mountainous area to distribute materials. I was halfway up the mountain when the rear wheel of my motorcycle went flat. I became very anxious as the sky had turned slightly dark. Then I realized this thought is a human thought because Master is always beside us, protecting disciples. Hence, all difficulties will be resolved.
Soon after, an old man came along, guiding his flock of sheep home. I went up to him and explained my situation. He offered to help me contact a nearby mechanic. As I did not have a cellphone at that time, the old man used his phone to make the call. The mechanic came quickly on his bicycle with the necessary tools. My motorcycle was repaired in 20 minutes, and during the process, I clarified the truth to both of them and gave them some materials. They were very happy, and the mechanic only charged me a minimal fee of 10 Yuan.
I have persisted in distributing truth-clarification materials for 13 years, and this has helped me understand that distributing materials is an effective ways of saving people. When the evil party's mouthpiece spread its rumors and smeared Dafa daily, it was overwhelming. We did not have any media to clarify the truth. We used just a small brochure to expose the lies and spread the truth to thousands of households.
During the process of distributing materials, I paid attention to gathering feedback and their effectiveness in saving people. I wrote a number of articles, and they were published on the Minghui website to tell people the things that were happening in our area. Because of this, many people awakened and are grateful to Dafa.
Clarifying the Truth Face-to-face and Persuading People to Renounce the Communist Party
I used to be quite timid and would blush when talking to acquaintances. Dafa created a new me, made me full of courage, and I am able to speak my mind with confidence and poise.
After July 20, once again revered Master encouraged disciples to step forward to clarify the truth and save people. For the sake of saving sentient beings, to awaken the world's people, and to follow Master's arrangement, I abandoned my human thoughts, let go of the attachment to self, and stepped forward to clarify the truth and validate the Fa.
First, I clarified the truth to acquaintances, friends, and relatives. After more than two years of refining my process, I finally dared to clarify the truth to strangers and in public. The more I clarified, the more righteous my thoughts became, and the more eloquently I explained things. Thus the result of my persuading people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations has become increasingly better. In August 2007 I was the emcee at a further education banquet. I clarified the truth for fifteen minutes in front of hundreds of guests. When the ceremony ended, I successfully encouraged 20 people to renounce their memberships to the CCP.
I was detained in 2008. While imprisoned, I cooperated with other practitioners in the detention center and labor camp and encouraged more than 60 people to quit the CCP in one-and-a-half years.
There was a “General Assembly to Expose and Criticize” in the labor camp. I clarified the truth rationally and wisely by sternly warning those prison officials that “good and evil have their consequences.” This shocked the evil, causing the deputy director and chief that were present to become pale with anger, but could not react. More than 200 inmates who heard my speech were very moved, and many lamented, “Falun Dafa is indeed good. Those who practice it have a clear sense of justice.”
Master has said, “Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy ...” (“Rationality” in Essentials For Further Advancement II)
I found ways to create opportunities and places to save people, and I maintained close contact with people in my hometown. Every year I introduce to our hometown a steady steam of new agricultural technology, new agricultural varieties, and new information. In these ten-plus years, wheat, oil seeds, and more than a dozen new varieties of other crops, and seven to eight new varieties of fruits and vegetables were introduced. I also sought the funding of 10,000 Yuan to repair the well and solve the drinking water problem in the village.
Whether it was friends' or family weddings or funerals in my hometown, I brought along the materials and distributed them while on my way there. When I reached the destination, I clarified the truth and persuaded people there to quit the Party. I saw good results each time.
Due to a network of people, coupled with positive guidance, the majority of people in the surrounding villages have understood the truth and recognized the true colors of the evil party. Some evil CCP police were boycotted by many villagers.
I understand that all the people I have encountered have predestined relationships and that I need to persuade them to quit the CCP. Whether in the town, countryside, or traveling, I clarify the truth everywhere. Many people quit the Party and its related organizations on the spot. However there were some who did not quit, but since they have listened to the truth, it has laid a foundation for saving them next time.
There is a veteran in my hometown, and when he was working in another place, he was urged by Dafa disciples to quit the Party. He did not quit at that time, as he had some concerns. When he met me on the street last year, I clarified the truth to him, and he quit readily. Afterwards, he always asked for new materials whenever we met. He even said that quitting the CCP bought good luck and more money to him.
Spreading Software to Break Through the Internet Firewall
I worked hard to spread the software that allows people to break through the Internet firewall of the CCP because this is an effective way to allow more people to understand the truth.
Initially when I distributed truth-clarification DVDs, such as Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , I reminded people that they can use software to break through the internet firewall to access the Minghui website to learn the truth.
In 2006, I gave this software to a computer dealer and told him that if any of his customers are interested, he can install the software on the computer when installing their system. He followed as instructed and spread it to many people. This resulted in an increase in his computer sales.
Last year I copied the software onto a designated hard-disk and spread it everywhere I go. This was very convenient. This year, after the Bo and Wang incident occurred, the evil party tried to block this news. But people did everything possible to find out the truth, and the software spread quickly for a period of time.
At work I taught a civil servant a very simple method to download the latest version of software to break through the firewall. Since then, people in the office have openly broken through the blockade and started surfing the Internet every day. After understanding the truth, some people submitted their withdrawals from the CCP on the internet themselves.
Once, I went to another department to find a deputy. I saw a computer on his desk. Hence, I copied the “Freegate” software onto his computer and taught him how to operate it. However, he dared not use it because he was afraid that the Party's online police would find him.
I taught him basic information about breaking through the Internet firewall and explained that this is safe software, developed by foreign computer security software specialists. Thus, he can use it safely, and nothing will happen.
I even cracked a joke with him, “If you do not break through the Internet firewall, you will become a frog on the wall and be outdated. You will always be blindfolded by the evil Party, just like the donkey that pulls the mill, spinning in the mill his whole life.” He broke into laughter.
Days later, he told me excitedly, “It is really a new world. When there is no task to do at work, I break through the Internet firewall and surf the net. It is really exciting. I just wish I had found this sooner.”
The software was developed by Dafa disciples to save sentient beings. It is to allow people to see uncensored information in a continuous and timely matter and allow them to truly be saved. People are eager for the truth and are highly appreciative of this software.
Promoting the software saves time and money, and is safer as compared to other efforts to raise awareness. We can promote this on a large scale to those who have computers in units such as the military, financial sector, and governmental agencies that are heavily monitored and controlled by the evil party.
Epilogue
During these 13 years of Fa-rectification cultivation, I continued to temper myself and gradually matured in various projects that validate the Fa. During this process, I have deeply understood that doing the three things well is a path of Fa-rectification cultivation arranged by Master. Failing to achieve any of the three things is not considered true cultivation, and thus higher Fa principles will not manifest, and we will not be able to elevate.
Master said, “Its broad and immense, profound inner meaning can only manifest itself to, and be experienced and understood by, practitioners who are at different levels of true cultivation. Only then can one truly see what the Fa is.” (“Broad and Immense” in Essentials For Further Advancement)
Thank you, revered Master for the compassionate salvation! Thank you, fellow practitioners for the mutual cooperation and collaboration!
