By A practitioner from Japan

(Clearwisdom.net)

Xiao Wu, a Japanese man, is blind. When his mother gave birth to him and discovered his blindness, she discussed it with his father. They decided to call him Wu, indicating that he has to overcome whatever he encounters. Two years ago, another Dafa practitioner and I were distributing truth clarification flyers at a train station. He walked directly toward us and asked what the flyers said. I explained to him about Falun Gong. He promptly showed his interest and wanted to learn. I thought then, how could I teach him since he cannot not see and I was too busy distributing Dafa material. He seemed to feel my reluctance and turned to the other practitioner for help. The other practitioner had a language barrier, and they could not communicate. As a result, Xiao Wu felt frustrated and left disappointed.

A couple days ago, two years after I met Xiao Wu, we held a group truth-clarification event in a park. When the event was near the end, Xiao Wu appeared. He asked loudly "Is this Falun Gong? Can someone tell me who you are? Are you practicing Falun Gong right now?" After an affirmative response he was so happy and shouted "Great! I finally found you. I have been looking for Falun Gong for two years. I even called the Chinese Embassy in Japan for Falun Gong contact information. But I got no comment from them. Today, I finally found Falun Gong!"

I felt so guilty about the whole incident. If not for me having an attachment, Xiao Wu would have obtained the Fa two years ago. I was thankful for Teacher's forgiveness, to arrange this occasion for Xiao Wu to receive the Fa; otherwise, no matter what I did, it would not make up for what I had done to Xiao Wu with one poor thought. Today, once again, Xiao Wu expressed his willingness to practice Falun Gong, and I could not let the opportunity go by. This might be the happiest moment in his life.

Xiao Li is Xiao Mei's friend who lives in C city, Japan. When Xiao Mei obtained the Fa, she phoned her friends to share the goodness of Falun Gong. Xiao Li was confused hearing that Xiao Mei, who used to be against Falun Gong, had started practicing it. Why is it that the more persecution occurred in China, the more people began to practice Falun Gong? She decided to give a try. With help, she borrowed the book Zhuan Falun and read it without stopping. As soon as she completed the book she called Xiao Mei saying, "This is exactly what I have been looking for so many years. I finally found it! Thank you!" After Xiao Li began to practice Falun Gong, she soon became involved in Fa rectification activities and hosting a Falun Gong practice site. Her involvement exceeds that of some veteran practitioners.
