My Understanding of Clarifying the Truth By Giving Out Bookmarks or Postcards By a practitioner at Dalian City, Liaoning Province, China
(Clearwisdom.net) In 2002, a friend came to see me and told about his
intention to use the name of Falun Gong to apply for political asylum in the
U.S.A. He heard that it would be very easy to do it with a ticket receipt of a
train or airline trip to Beijing on April 25, 1999, or with some sort of
evidence that he was detained inside China. At that time I tactfully told him
that it was not appropriate to use Falun Gong for this purpose. I held this same
notion until I saw "Teaching the Fa at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific
Students." There, Teacher said, "Anyway, once somebody applies for asylum in the name of Falun
Gong, he has given his future to Falun Gong. That's because he is changing his
fate using Falun Gong's name--whether he's aware of it or not. That's putting
it in ordinary human terms. The truth is, everyone came here for Dafa, and if
the whole world came for Dafa, then of course it's no big deal if they benefit
a little from Dafa. So go ahead, then. (Teacher laughs) As long as the
local government doesn't object, we won't either.." Then I recognized that, in today's Fa-rectification period, a person's
attitude toward Dafa will decide his or her own future. To remain and not to be
sifted out is most crucial to a life and that is also the purpose of our
clarifying the truth as Dafa practitioners. We cannot deny that people have bad,
warped thoughts. No matter what people encounter, they first try to protect
themselves and then to seek personal gains. To those applying for asylum in the
name of Falun Gong, they may not really understand Falun Gong or because of the
deceit and lies may even be biased against Falun Gong, but when they tell the
immigrant officer about the persecution of Falun Gong, then they are not against
Falun Gong and so Teacher will protect them. I am deeply touched by the Master's
benevolence and Dafa's immense magnificence! Currently inside China there is still a high percentage of people whose minds
are poisoned and so our mission to save sentient beings is critical. In our
course of clarifying the truth, sometimes we just hurry by someone without a
chance to say more. Sometimes we can only tell people one thing: Remember that
Falun Dafa is good. At times like these, something small like a postcard or
bookmark would be a nice gift to people. From our experience, people usually
like to receive them. Some may not dare to take Falun Gong truth materials but
will certainly like postcards, bookmarks or similar things. Especially in small
villages, many people welcome these kind of things and, if they did not receive
one, they would go to a practitioner's house to ask for one. Practitioners should develop more wisdom. We should use all methods and
different angles to clarify the truth to various types of people. We must do
well what we should and try our best to save more people. Posting date: 8/4/2004
