Teaching Pupils with "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and Changing the Environment through Truth Clarification By a Dafa disciple in China
(Clearwisdom.net) I'm a primary school teacher in Mainland China. In
my everyday life and work, little by little, I tell my students the facts about
Falun Dafa and the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
They have benefited a great deal. When a conflict arose between two students, I asked each party to look inside
himself or herself first, to check if he or she had done anything wrong, instead
of just blaming the other party, then sharing the findings with the other side
and apologizing. In the meantime, I asked the others to point out anything not
meeting the standard for "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." After
some time, the students in my class now know to look inside themselves. Whenever
there is a conflict, they know on their own where something went wrong and don't
need my advice. As a result, the whole class is more harmonious and happy. In addition, I often tell them some spiritual stories. In connection with the
current situation, I told them about karma and bad influences in other
dimensions. They asked me what to do. I replied, "I have told you before
that we should always remember..." All the students then answered loudly
together, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance"! Some students
received Falun Gong materials at home and brought them to school. I then asked
them to pass those around. Some students even ask others to return these after
they are done reading the handouts so that they can keep them. My students have benefited a lot from Dafa. On the eve of the 2003 final
exam, many students in my school got chicken pox. Several classes of 50-60
students had only 10-20 people escape the illness, so there was no way to give
the exam. But amazingly, no one was absent from my class! I grasped this
opportunity to tell our school officials and other teachers the real story of
Falun Dafa. In the end, many of them came to a good understanding. When the
"610 Office" attempted to send me to a brainwashing class, our school
president and provost firmly resisted their demand. When the situation was
intense, our provost was on the lookout for me. He said, "Don't be afraid.
I will keep an eye out for you! When seeing them come, you just hide in one of
the classrooms and we will say that you have not come to work." During 2003
Spring Festival, our provost sent a short message to my cell phone, which read
"Happy Spring Festival, Dafa Disciples." When our Dafa disciples become more and more pure and righteous in doing
things, our road will become wider and wider. As we continue to clarify the
truth, we will change our environment and the people around us will benefit as
well. In the meantime, our safety is achieved. On the opposite end of the road,
the more afraid we are, the worse our environment will be, and the more
dangerous our situation will become. The above is some of my shallow understanding. Please point out if anything
is incorrect. 7/29/2004 Posting date: 8/5/2004 |
