Our Words and Actions in Daily Life can Help Let More People Know About the Goodness of Falun Dafa
By a practitioner from China (Clearwisdom.net) On July 22 2004, the Minghui website published an article entitled "Falun
Dafa Cultivators Should Be Full of Great Aspirations While Minding Minor
Details." [At this time, there is no English version of this article
published on the Clearwisdom website.] That article discussed about how some
Falun Dafa practitioners didn't pay attention to seemingly minor issues and
therefore led other people to misunderstand Falun Dafa. Here I'd like to share
some stories of practitioner Xiaoliang. Xiaoliang is a temporary employee in a plant that has about one hundred
workers. All his coworkers know Xiaoliang is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Since
Xiaoliang started to practice Falun Dafa a few years ago, he has been very
strict with himself, following the standards of a true cultivator. His noble
actions and attitudes helped him effectively clarify the truth of Falun Dafa.
His co-workers understand his belief in Falun Dafa and support him. The
following are a few stories of Xiaoliang. 1. One day, the head of the plant said to Xiaoliang's boss, "I definitely
cannot agree to promote A (one of Xiaoliang's coworkers) to a full-time
employee. If it were Xiaoliang, I'd agree." To explain why he said that, he
shared what he had observed. One day when he was on duty, he heard the gate of the plant kicked open
with a big "bang". Then the gate closed by itself with another "bang". When he
looked up, he saw A coming in. He noticed that he would never hear Xiaoliang
coming in because Xiaoliang always carefully opened and closed the gate with
his hands. Xiaoliang was the only one who was always this careful. The head of
the plant said, "Therefore, if you see someone coming in yet you don't hear
the gate, it must be Xiaoliang." Another time, he heard someone turn on the faucet to wash their hands in
the restroom. Then he saw A coming out. However, he found that A didn't turn
off the faucet. The head of the plant said, "Xiaoliang would never do that."
He also said, "We need to protect Xiaoliang [from the persecution of Falun
Dafa practitioners] at all costs." 2. Xiaoliang went to a party with some coworkers. When he saw B (another of
his co-workers), he went up to him and started to chat with him cheerfully.
When he just started to explain the facts of Falun Dafa, B said, "I know. You
are a good person. You help others and place others' needs above yours.
Therefore, Falun Dafa must be good. I'd like to practice it with you." There
is actually more to this story. Earlier Xiaoliang and B went on a business
trip by train together. The destination was so far away it took them a full
day to arrive at that city. Fortunately, some seats were still available. On
the train, Xiaoliang tried to explain the facts of Falun Dafa to B. However, B
wasn't willing to listen. He was even against Xiaoliang practicing Falun Dafa.
Just then, an old man in his sixties got on the train. There were no vacant
seats. Xiaoliang immediately stood up and asked the old man to take his own
seat. B saw what Xiaoliang did and was deeply moved since Xiaoliang had to
stand all the way to their destination. He stopped arguing with Xiaoliang
about Falun Dafa. We can see that what Xiaoliang did on the train changed B's
opinion of Falun Dafa. Indeed, our words and actions as practitioners can help us clarify the truth
of Falun Dafa. Everyday people are watching us. |
