The Three Things Teacher Has Asked Us To Do Are The Main Focus of My Life
(Clearwisdom.net) The three things that Teacher asks the disciples to do
have become the main focus of my life. Clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa and
the persecution, in order to save sentient beings, is the main subject of all my
social activities. Therefore, all my activities in society have become very
interesting and varied as I assist in the truth-clarification. Teacher said in the lecture, "Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Atlanta Fa
Conference," "Embed saving living beings into every single thing in your present
daily life. If you can all understand and really see its importance, I think
you'll probably save more living beings. Now the world's people are gradually
becoming more clearheaded, and the impact of clarifying the truth right now is
even greater. The audience those evil beings have is getting smaller and
smaller, so you must understand this issue soberly." During the past several years of validating Dafa, I have been preparing and
distributing printed truth-clarification materials as well as clarifying the
truth to people face to face. I know clearly that I am a Fa-rectification period
Dafa disciple. As for every requirement and standard that Teacher mentions in
each lecture, I unconditionally remember them all in my heart and implement them
into practice solidly. Every arrangement of mine is based on validating the Fa
and saving sentient beings. Clarifying the truth has already melded completely
into my life. Good methods to save sentient beings often spring up in my mind. In preparing the truth-clarification materials, I concentrate on four
subjects: 1) the wonderfulness that Dafa brings to people; 2) the grand spread
of Dafa worldwide; 3) the deceits and tricks of Jiang's evil regime and their
savagery in persecuting the practitioners; and 4) the news that Jiang and his
followers are being sued in the courts of law throughout the world. I modify the
contents as necessary, according to the feedback I receive, and according to the
degree that people are able to accept. I have many different kinds of truth-clarification materials, such as fliers,
brochures, and a variety of greeting cards. I mix them and put them into gift
bags. I am ready at any moment to fulfill my mission to save sentient beings. Our cultivation is conducted in ordinary society. Every practitioner is
involved in certain social activities. I take every opportunity to clarify the
truth. In the morning, there are many food stands set up on the streets around my
home that sell different kinds of breakfasts. The vendors are all people to whom
I clarify the truth. Whenever I find that there is a new vendor, I make a mental
note and send a gift bag with the truth-clarification materials to the newcomer.
Eventually everyone comes to know the truth. Whenever I stop in front of a peddler to buy something, I clarify the truth
to them. I often visit those street vendors. The truth-clarification materials
they receive are then spread to others, from one to another and from one heart
to another heart. The feedback keeps coming in and I keep updating the materials
according to the feedback. I also often visit the nearby farmers' markets and wholesale markets. I go
there with the truth-clarification materials to give to people who are eager to
know the truth; I come back with fresh vegetables and fruits, and am filled with
happiness for the sentient beings who have come to know the truth. There are several department stores near my home and many street peddlers who
repair bicycles, make keys, or offer deliveries and rides with tricycles. Of
course they all get to know the truth from me. Several staff members working in the local community office also have gotten
to know the facts from me to some degree. Therefore, I can freely do whatever I
want to do. My neighbors all know that I practice Falun Dafa. In the summer, I
plant several kinds of vegetables in front of my house. Whenever I walk into my
garden, there are always some people with pre-destined relationships coming by
to say hello to me. Handing over a bundle of fresh vegetables, the truth
continuously comes out during our cheerful conversation. Because there are often street peddlers in front of my house to collect waste
materials or to sell cooking seasonings, I put waste materials aside whenever I
clean the house and write down the seasonings that I need to buy for cooking.
When the peddlers and vendors show up, I just open the window and call out.
Everyone also gets a gift bag of the truth-clarification materials, as well as
my business, and they come to know the truth in a relaxed and pleasant
atmosphere. Now it has gotten so I don't even need to go out of my home. The
vendors directly send the items I need through my open window. My window remains
happily open for all the sentient beings to know the truth. Whenever a friend of mine comes to visit, I give them a warm welcome. We sit
on the sofa, relax, and talk about Falun Dafa. One time, the police arrested two
practitioners. Some friends immediately called to inform me; some came to tell
me in person at work. I really feel grateful on their behalf, that they have
made the right choices after learning the truth. During the holidays when I go back to my hometown, I do not miss the
opportunities to clarify the truth to my relatives. Playing the
truth-clarification CD, clarifying the truth, giving out the gift bags of the
truth-clarification materials, I spend the holiday with the theme of clarifying
the truth. The holiday becomes unusually lively and with a healthy atmosphere. I welcome any relatives who visit me, and clarify the truth to them. I know
the future of sentient beings is the most important thing, and that time is
urgent. "So a Dafa disciple's responsibilities aren't for the sake of
personal Consummation, but to save sentient beings while validating the Fa -- that
is a Dafa disciple's historic mission, and that is why Dafa disciples are truly
magnificent." (From the lecture, "Touring North America to Teach the
Fa"). Master has given me the best. I am most fortunate to have become a
Dafa practitioner. And those who learn the truth of Dafa from me are very lucky
as well. There is no reason for me not to speak out. When I began to clarify the truth at the beginning, I tried to find those who
looked kindly, and I would go to places far from my home. I would observe the
surroundings and think about how to deal with any sudden situations. Now I've
become more mature in the Fa-rectification. My selfishness has been broken
through layer by layer. I clearly know that Dafa practitioners hold the leading
roles in this important play. When clarifying the truth is fully incorporated
into every aspect of my life, I truly feel the freedom and the unselfishness of
a Fa particle dissolving into the Fa. It is only when I truly reach this stage
that the boundless wisdom of the Fa, the extraordinary energy, the power of the
righteous thoughts and the diamond-like, solid dignity of Dafa become manifest
in me. Finally, I would like to encourage my fellow practitioners with the words of
Master: "You need to know that clarifying the truth is extremely important for
Dafa disciples. You aren't just doing personal cultivation -- your own
cultivation is saving the beings in the gigantic cosmic bodies that you
represent. When you clarify the truth you are saving even more and even larger
additional cosmic bodies and the beings in those cosmic bodies, because this
is the responsibility Dafa and history have bestowed upon you." (From the
lecture, "Touring North America to Teach the Fa") February 12, 2004
