Validating the Goodness of Falun Dafa Without Words
By a Practitioner in Israel
(Clearwisdom.net) Something that happened to me lately helped me to deeply
understand the meaning of our daily behavior and it's role in spreading and
validating the Fa. A few days ago I was on my way to a group Fa study. Since I stayed a bit
longer at work I accelerated my walking speed so I would not be late for the
beginning of the reading. All of the sudden I remembered that I needed to throw out my chewing gum so I
walked towards a garbage can which was a fair ways out of my walking path. It
took several more seconds of my time to make the detour. When I returned to my path a man approached me and said enthusiastically:
"I'm amazed! I was walking behind you all this time and I noticed that you were
in a hurry to get to some place. However, you left your walking path just to
throw the chewing gum inside the garbage can and not on the sidewalk! How do you
explain that?" I smiled and told him that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and that we
cultivate ourselves according to the laws of the universe: "Truth, Compassion
and Forbearance." Then I saw in his eyes a great will to learn more. So I took a
flyer out of my bag and gave it to him. He thanked me dearly and told me that on
that same day he will go on the net to look into our Falun Dafa web site so he
could learn more about it. At the Fa lecture in Boston, Teacher said: "You are cultivators, whose conduct is [supposed to be] pure and
righteous. There are so many people who think you're great just by having
seen how you act. If we don't pay attention to our own behavior in our daily
lives, everyday people will see our actions and, since they can't get to
know you at a deep level such as by studying the Fa, they will just look at
how you act. And it's possible that one sentence or one action of yours will
make them unsavable or create a bad impression of Dafa. We need to think
about these things." In this manner, an apparently meaningless act of a Dafa disciple could help a
person form his opinion and attitude towards Dafa and even save him. When our
thoughts are righteous, our daily behavior will validate the Fa in its most
truthful way. This is my understanding and I thank you for any remarks.
