The Power of Compassion - Saving a Young Girl Passing Counterfeit Money
(Clearwisdom.net) On October 25, 2003, a strange young girl came in my
shop. She picked up some goods and handed me 300 yuan (Chinese currency).
I discovered that 200 of her 300 yuan were counterfeit. She was very scared
after I found out that she had tried to cheat me by using the counterfeit money.
She then told me that her family was very poor, and that to support her family,
she had chosen these deceptive means. Although at first I wanted to report her to the police, Teacher's words came
to my mind: "Every person you come into contact with in society is someone to
clarify the truth to, and what's manifest in clarifying the truth is Dafa
disciples' mercy and their salvation of the world's people. I hope that every
Dafa disciple will fully take initiative and fully play his role as a Dafa
disciple." ("To All Students at the Nordic Fa Conference" from Essentials
for Further Advancement II) Wasn't she someone to clarify the truth to about Falun Dafa? So, instead of
reporting her to the police, I decided to help her change her heart through
mercy. I told her that I was a Falun Gong practitioner and clarified the truth
about Falun Gong to her. I then let her watch the Falun Gong facts VCD. An hour later, she had learned the true facts about Falun Dafa and admired
Dafa, Teacher and practitioners. She said to me, "What the government
showed us on television was all fake! If I didn't watch the Falun Gong VCD, I
never would have known the truth." I also persuaded her to stop cheating
people from now on, explaining that good is rewarded with good and evil meets
evil. She said, "I will remember what you have told me. I definitely will
reform thoroughly. I will clarify the truth about Falun Gong to my friends, and
will give them Falun Gong materials and ask them to read them." While
saying so, tears flowed from her eyes. She bowed to me and said, "Thank
you! Thank you very much!" I said, "If you want to be thankful, you
should be thankful to Falun Dafa. If I didn't practice Falun Dafa, I am sure
that I never could have treated you this way." She said, "I will
remember this forever." Finally, I smiled. Due to this experience, I realized what a great and powerful effect
compassion can have on people. At the same time I thoroughly realized that we
should lose no time in clarifying the facts about Dafa to people, and that we
should not miss any opportunity to save these predestined people.
