Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Extraordinary
By a Falun Dafa Practitioner from Taiwan (Clearwisdom.net) I was among a group of Taiwanese Falun Dafa
practitioners who participated in a truth-clarification effort in
Hong Kong. This experience had a very moving effect on me. It was there that I
came to fully realize the urgency of clarifying the truth to the precious
Chinese people. At the same time, I also enlightened to another extraordinary
quality of Falun Dafa practitioners. One fellow Taiwanese practitioner described our truth-clarification visit
well when he exclaimed, "Look! So many sentient beings from China are just
waiting to be saved!" Another Falun Dafa practitioner from Shenyang City (Liaoning Province) made
her way through crowds toward me and when she was very close, said in low voice,
"I am also a Falun Dafa practitioner. In Shengyang, many people practice
Falun Dafa, some of whom have been arrested." Before departure, she said,
"You need to make a lot of phone calls (to mainland China). Please make
lots of phone calls!" After she had mingled back into the crowd, I caught several glimpses of her
still gazing at me, as though she didn't want to leave me. I will always
remember the image of that pair of eyes that would not leave sight of me. As I
waved goodbye to her, she kept waving back until she finally disappeared among
the crowds of people. So whenever a tourist from Mainland China smiles at me or hurriedly passes by
while softly whispering, "I know Falun Gong is good, but..." or
"I understand, but..." "I dare not take your [truth-clarifying]
flyer," I would kindly reply, "Have a pleasant journey." Then I
would wave goodbye and they too would wave back at me. On one occasion, I was holding up a truth-clarifying poster for the
passengers on a stopped tourist bus to see. I saw many eyes gazing at the
poster. A moment later, one of the bus passengers motioned to me that the bus
was about to leave. I waved to him and he waved back. Among the crowds of so many people, I just focused on distributing
truth-clarifying materials. One person from mainland China seemed to be looking
for something in particular as he thumbed through the truth materials that I
held. When he found the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, he
quickly took one out and slipped it into his pocket. I hope that fellow practitioners who have the time will lend more support to
the practitioners from Hong Kong, to give them a break and also to create
opportunities for saving more people from Mainland China! Every day, the practitioners from Hong Kong have to carry hundreds of pounds
of truth clarifying materials, banners and posters on hand-pushed carts. They
have to cross several highways, traveling up and down hills, over bridges and
maneuver them aboard escalators. They walk long distances to reach the sites
where they can best clarify the truth, three hundred and sixty-five days a year
without ever skipping a day, regardless of whether it is very windy or rainy. The following is a typical day in the life of one Hong Kong Falun Dafa
practitioner I met: During group Fa study one Saturday evening, this Hong Kong
practitioner joined us at 9:00 p.m. after getting off work from her job at the
noodle restaurant, so we decided to read one more chapter of Zhuan
Falun with her. We had not arrived in Hong Kong until late the night
before, and it had been a long, busy day for me, so I was pretty tired. Before
we had finished the chapter, I could no longer keep my eyes open. So I went to
wash my face, just to wake myself up, and then came back to continue studying
the Fa. Amazed at the diligence of this Hong Kong practitioner, especially after
learning of her daily activity schedule, I remarked, "Falun Dafa
practitioners are indeed extraordinary!" November 15, 2005
