By an overseas practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net)

A few days ago I made some calls to China to clarify the truth. I started by giving my regards, followed by exposing the media's lies about the SARS epidemic and the crimes committed by Jiang. I talked about the government's deception policy and about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners during the past several years. They lied to the outside people by saying that they were "helping, educating, and saving" practitioners, while in fact they had tortured and murdered more than 690 practitioners. Overall, the conversations went very well.

For the past two days, however, I encountered some difficulties. After looking within, I realized that I did well when I had a compassionate heart to save people, but I did not do well when my compassion was lacking and my attachment of zealotry reared its ugly head.

When I first started calling China and found that people who did not know the truth were being deceived, I wanted to urgently tell them the facts so they could be saved. After a few days, however, my compassion weakened, and I was no longer treating the calls seriously. Instead, I became sloppy while calling. I ended up doing poorly on dozens of calls. Either no one answered the phone, or they hung up after a few words. The people on the other end did not want to carry on a conversation after I mentioned Dafa. I saw my own problem and felt ashamed of myself. I wasn't clarifying the truth with sincerity. I was merely making a phone call. After finding my own shortcomings, I settled down before making more calls. The calls went well again.

Please kindly point out anything inappropriate. Thank you.
