By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) The following is a letter to fellow practitioners written by a Falun Dafa practitioner from Kaifeng City, Henan Province, before she was sent to a forced labor camp. This practitioner has been detained many times and subjected to several brainwashing sessions. Despite this, her determination to follow Falun Dafa's principles has never wavered. In the past five years, no matter how severe the situation has been, she never slackened in her truth clarification efforts. Now incarcerated, and facing even more brutal mental and physical torture, this practitioner is still trying to clarify the truth, providing a letter to express her pure heart to fellow practitioners and all sentient beings.

During the past five years, many Falun Dafa practitioners, just like the author of the letter to follow, have kept determined and unyielding hearts. They are like torches in the long dark nights, spreading the light of Falun Dafa, never flickering even for a brief moment.

The future cosmos will be altruistic in nature, so those who will be able to walk into the new cosmos and those who can be assimilated by the new cosmos must also be unselfish.

The Letter

Nowadays, there are so many people just sitting around on the curbs of city streets, playing card games [one of the leisure activities that many Chinese city dwellers enjoy]. This provides us with a good opportunity to spread the Fa. Two practitioners can work together. One can send forth righteous thoughts while the other speaks with these people. One time I talked to five groups of card players along just one street. There are also people who stand around watching the games, so those people also listened to me. Some of them kept asking me questions, and some of them started to laugh. I didn't know whether they could be saved or not, but I just kept on talking.

When I met older ladies, I first talked about doing good deeds to accumulate virtue, and similar topics, and then I told them how Falun Dafa teaches people to be good citizens, and how after I learned Falun Dafa, I started to respect my mother-in-law and treated her with kindness. Nowadays, there are many young people who have little respect or benevolence for their elders, so these older ladies were glad to hear what I told them.

There are also groups of people who are trying to find jobs, waiting to be hired, and it was relatively easy to talk to them. First, I talked about some common issues, such as how to make a living, and then I mentioned Falun Gong and told them how good it is. When I started to talk, dozens of people gathered around me. Also, many parents wait near the front gate of their children's school to pick them up. When I first approached the parents, I tried to discuss how the children were doing with their studies, and then I talked about various fees that the schools were charging these days, how the whole school system was now heavily focused on money, and how the moral component of education for children is seldom implemented. I also talked about the Minghui Schools abroad (1), and told them how the staff of these schools teach children about moral issues.

I also clarified the truth of Falun Dafa to strangers I met on public transits. If I happened to see a wedding ceremony, I talked to all the people there. There are many worshipers burning incense around some temples' entrances; these locations are also good places to clarify the truth. Most of the people there believe in deities, and I spoke with them about how the moral standards of our society were now out of control and that the deities were not willing to take care of human beings any longer, and then I told them about how I came to practice Falun Dafa.

There are many people in train and bus stations. I talked to different groups in the waiting areas. When I went to restaurants, I also talked to people there. When I went shopping, I first talked about the ever-present counterfeit products. I further talked about how people should be honest when dealing with others, and other issues. Finally, I touched upon Falun Gong's principles of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance."

When I encountered students, I told them about how Falun Dafa can decipher the mysteries of nature and human beings. On other occasions, such as taking a taxi, going to a barber shop, or visiting construction sites, I always tried to talk about Falun Gong, and dozens of people typically gathered around to listen. These people were then able to spread the truth about Falun Dafa throughout the countryside.

Our honorable Teacher has asked us to spread the truth everywhere. Have we indeed accomplished that-- Can each one of us dedicate his or her entire heart to saving sentient beings-- Do we each have a pure heart when clarifying the truth-- I believe that the more selfless I become, the better the results will be. I also know that from the bottom of my heart, we are just trying to do these things with dedication. The reason for our success is the power of our Teacher and the Fa working in the background.

I was arrested because I did not pay attention to small details, and I also tend to be dependent on my relatives, so I became less alert and forgot about the warnings Teacher gave us. The evil forces are watching us with intensity, all the time.
