Western Practitioner: The Importance of Paying Attention to Each Individual We Meet While Clarifying the Truth


A few months ago, I had an interesting experience at the airport while clarifying the truth to people on a flight from China. I passed newspapers for a while, mostly standing in the same area for about 45 minutes. I thought that I had passed them to everyone that was there, and I was about to leave. Then, one of the young Chinese men who was sitting right in front of me the entire time said to me: "Is this newspaper free?"

I couldn't believe it, he had been there the whole time and I didn't give him a flyer. So I sat down and talked to him. We talked for about 20 minutes, mostly about Falun Gong, and throughout the conversation, his attitude towards Falun Gong changed. At the end, we exchanged contacts, and he suggested that I meet his wife as well.

After delaying for too long I finally wrote to him yesterday. He wrote right back saying: "It's so great to here from you. I surely remember you. It was so nice that I came across you, a guy who really cares about China, as soon as I came here. I am looking forward to getting together with you sometime."

From this experience, I realized how important it is to pay attention to each individual we come across, and not get caught up in pursuit of distributing as many flyers as possible. If that one person's thoughts towards Dafa turns around, what a great thing it is. If, one at a time,ámore people simply understood the persecution and the true nature of Falun Gong, it is worth every second.
