The Fa Saves Predestined People -- An 80 Year-Old Intellectual Attains the Fa
By A Dafa Practitioner in Southern China (Clearwisdom.net) On a day last June, I decided to offer Wu, an 80 year-old intellectual,
some truth clarifying materials to take home to read. He kept nodding and said, "Thank
you!" A few days later, Wu looked for me and asked, "Do you have any books that I may borrow to
read?" I promptly delivered a copy of Zhuan Falun to him, and impressed upon him the
importance of cherishing and protecting Dafa books. I could see his joyous frame of mind when he
received the book. After taking the book home, he read Zhuan Falun seven times
in a very short period of time, and was reading it deep into the night. Several days later, when I went to collect the book from him, he asked, "I would like to
read it a few more times. Can I return it to you in a couple of days?" Seeing that he had such
a steadfast belief in Dafa, I replied, "Let me give the book to you as a present." He
firmly declined the offer, saying, "I have read countless books but none is as precious as this
and I cannot accept it without paying for it." He said from the bottom of his heart, "I
will treasure this book with the utmost care." One day, when he came to my house wishing to learn the exercises, I played the videotape of
Teacher demonstrating the exercises for him and at the same time coached him once on the exercises.
When he was leaving I gave him a copy of The Great Consummation Way of Falun Dafa. It was in
this way that he began to look upon reputation and fame as trivial matters. He practices the
exercises daily and can basically perform the five sets of exercises, and though he is 80 years old,
he can perform the sitting meditation with both legs crossed. There was another occasion when he told me: "Such good gong, such good Fa; it is not
good for me to be practicing it alone. The public should know about it. What must I do?" He
really moved me. So I asked him to let his family, his friends and relatives, and as many people as
possible know that "Falun Dafa is great, Falun Dafa is the true way," and help them
understand the facts and benefits of Dafa. Thereafter, he distributed more than one hundred copies
of the truth-clarifying materials. Wu's cousin is a Party official of his town, and when
he heard that Dafa is good, he traveled over 20 miles to borrow Zhuan Falun to read at home.
It was passed on to his good friends and relatives to read, and all agreed it was a most precious
and rare book. They asked to purchase seven copies of Zhuan Falun, but if that was not
possible, they would accept seven photocopied volumes and even hand-copied volumes would do. They
managed to photocopy the seven volumes of Zhuan Falun after much deliberation. When we are clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa, the important point is to let the other party
understand what Falun Gong is, and likewise we must let our friends and relatives know, so as to
provide more with the opportunity of salvation.
