(3) Chinese Consulate officials learn the truth
Since a lady received retribution for damaging Dafa, the people in the
Chinese Consulate who used to monitor me, do not dare to look at me. I realized
this was an opportunity to let more people know the truth about Dafa, so I used
every opportunity to let them see my peace of mind. I smiled and greeted
everyone, and in this way, their manner changed from hostility, to puzzlement,
and gradually they became willing to talk to me.
Although we talked for a while, they still refused to accept the truth
clarifying materials when I offered them. Once I said to a person: "Are you
really so fragile as to dare not to read this paper? As a Chinese person, this
event has taken place in China, and has shocked the entire world. Do you really
believe this does not have any relation to you, or are you only willing to
listen to the voice of one side? I think you are not being responsible to yourself.
Our meeting today is already a kind of predestined relationship. You should
cherish it. We do not expect you to read this material for our sake. You can
have a look at these materials and judge for yourself." He stared at me for
a while and then accepted the material: "Ok, let me have a look."
Since then, he has read all the material and his attitude has changed. When we
set up a TV set in the street, he became nervous again. He brought his
colleagues over to watch, then left with discontent. I still continued to give
him the "real story" materials and neither of us mentioned a single
word about the TV. Soon, the time he spent in front of the TV became longer and
longer. Once he spent over three hours there, and watched from the beginning to
the end. A few days later, he came and watched TV for a while, then whispered in
my ear: "You are wonderful!" His voice was quite low, but strong. Then
he smiled at me and left.
(4) A student abroad said: "I will tell the truth for you."
Two months ago, four or five students from Mainland China (who are the
children of the cadres in China who come to study overseas at their own expense)
had just arrived from China. Usually I clarify the truth using two-sided posters
that are put up on both sides of a cassette player, while a TV set plays Falun
Gong videos, and I hand out materials to pedestrians. Upon seeing this scene,
they initially showed full resistance on their faces, but when they withdrew
their money from the nearby cash machine, their eyes and ears couldn't resist
the contents on the TV. One of the students wanted to watch the TV, but he was
dragged away by the rest of the group. When they came again to withdraw money on
other days, the student tried to watch the TV, but each time he was drawn away
again. One day he decided to stay and watch the TV. He said to them: "You
can go shopping. I will stay here and wait for you."
He indeed stayed to watch the TV, while the others did other things. Although
he was the only one who stayed to watch the TV, the others also changed their
attitudes for the better. He said to me one day: "If I told the truth for
you, more people would believe me, because I am not a Falun Gong
practitioner." I asked him: "Are you willing to do so?" He
answered, "I will do it."
(5) Missionaries have a change of heart
One Sunday I met a group of missionaries. First I gave them the Falun Gong
materials, but after a few minutes, they suddenly surrounded me, and began to
ask many questions: "Are you a religion? China says you are an XX (slanderous
words omitted). Why don't you believe in Christianity rather than Falun
Gong? How do you view Jesus? ..."
I watched them calmly and waited until they finished talking and answered:
"Falun Gong is not a religion, it is the Buddha Law. What China says to
slander Falun Gong is not at all the truth. If 'Truth-Compassion-Forbearance' is
considered to be evil, then what would be righteous? My teacher says Jesus is a
great god, so we all respect him very much. People are free to believe in their
own things. We don't force anyone to practice Falun Gong, instead, we just let
people know the truth. Jiang Zemin and his gang in China are persecuting those
who cultivate Buddha Law, and they are committing great sins against humanity.
The majority of people who are deceived by Jiang Zemin are innocent. When Falun
Gong's reputation is fully restored, those who persecute Falun Gong, and those
who have bad thoughts against Falun Gong will be eliminated. The more people
that learn the truth, the more people who will be saved. This is all we want and
ask for."
Someone urged one of the others to ask me: "Then what can we do for
you?" I told them: "Let all of your friends and relatives know that
Falun Dafa is good, 'Truth-Compassion-Forbearance' is good, and that it is
sinful and evil to persecute Falun Gong. Tell them, don't be deceived, don't
follow the Chinese government. That's enough." That person felt surprised
and asked me: "That's all?" I said yes. While they were all there, an
overseas Chinese elderly man expressed his misunderstanding about Falun Gong.
Right away, those missionaries all said to him how good Falun Gong is. They told
him how wrong the Chinese government is. How they are acting as the "bad
scoundrels" in persecuting Falun Gong, etc.
A few months ago, a group of ten missionaries came near to where I was. They
stood across the street for a little while, and then set up right beside me.
They posted two displays next to mine. A pedestrian said to me: "You should
drive them away." I replied: "We cultivate the righteous way. We do
not fight or make trouble with others."
When I had a chance, I passed them some truth materials and asked for their
signatures. Some of them accepted the materials, some refused, but none of them
signed the petition. They said: "We have our own religion and can't sign
for you." I said: "We are not a religion, but the Buddha Law
cultivation practice. We welcome more people to cultivate Falun Gong but don't
force anyone. The reason we are here is to let people know the truth about how
the Chinese government persecutes Falun Gong, to awaken people's kind hearts,
and to stop the evil persecution."
Someone asked me: "May I read your books?" Then this person asked
me again after I said yes: "Somebody told me before that we can't do our
own things and have our belief any more after reading your books." I
replied: "Maybe he didn't make it clear. Reading books and cultivation
practice are different things. To read the books and understand them is
something that anyone can do. With cultivation practice, there should be no
second way. Isn't it right to focus on only one thing at a time? Even if you
practice Falun Gong, you can still treat your work as a job. We learn that
everyone should have their own designated jobs in society." The person who
was apparently in charge of the group of missionaries, and who was the most
resistant said to me: "You don't think there is anything else that is
worthy to be learned except Falun Gong, do you?" I answered: "When we
don't talk about cultivation practice, everything has both positive and negative
nature, except things like killing and harming others. Everyone has his good
side and is worthy of my attention and to learn from." They showed their
respect, looked at the display boards, accepted our materials, and signed the
petition as well. |
