Clarifying the Truth Among Mainland Chinese People Using Different Ways in Different Situations

By a Falun Gong Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net)

I have been clarifying the truth using different ways in different situations. The following are some of my experiences.

One time when I was on a bus reading an e-book on my PDA, a gentleman sitting beside me asked me if I was reading a novel. I then showed him the page that had the title, Zhuan Falun. Later I discovered that he was an associate professor of foreign literature at one of the top universities in China and that he knew a lot about Falun Gong. He asked me if I practiced secretly at home and I said, "No, I practice openly!" I also told him that after July 20, 1999, I went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested, thrown into a forced labor camp, suffered from the death bed torture, and was hung by my handcuffs from behind my back and other forms of torture. Through several years of truth clarifying efforts, my local residential committee, the police station, the prison, the forced labor camp, and many officials in these organizations realized that we are good people, and they later became my friends. Although right now I could not do the exercises in public, all the other aspects of my Falun Gong activities remain the same. The main form of our current cultivation is clarifying the truth about Falun Gong.

After hearing my words, he said that it was his honor to meet me here. He then said, "Everyday I sit in front of my desk for a dozen hours, and today I became tired, so I decided to get out and take in some fresh air. Then, I met you here unexpectedly. This is a predestined relationship! The ploys of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) couldn't deceive me."

I talked about what Jiang Zemin had done by using the CCP to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, who simply believe in the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. This persecution is in fact targeting our collective morality and conscience. I suggested the he read Zhuan Falun and other Falun Dafa books, which will bring tremendous benefit to him, both physically and mentally, for the rest of his life. He promised that he certainly would do that and asked for my contact information.

One time, I was riding a bus with an older fellow practitioner and I was thinking about how to clarify the truth with wisdom. I then asked her to talk about the story of her surgery and the removal of a large portion of her intestine. She started talking about the cancer in her rectum and how she had been through four surgeries. One foot of her intestine had been removed, and after 40 days of practicing Falun Gong, she fully recovered. After hearing that, one of the people sitting close by asked some questions, and she took the opportunity to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to him and everyone around us.

Another time when I was riding the bus, I noticed that there was only one other person on the bus. I went up and sat beside her, and started talking with her. After I mentioned that I practice Falun Gong, she immediately held my two hands and said, "I have found a fellow practitioner!" She told me she came from the countryside, and was a new practitioner working as a nurse and taking care of an 80-year old lady who was a former CCP Secretary of a medical school. This practitioner was very kind-hearted, but had a very strong attachment of fear. She dared not to clarify the truth to people. She said that she did very well by living her life according to Dafa's principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. This woman and other patients all praised her, and were reluctant to see her go. They increased her pay from 500 yuan to 800 yuan in order to try to keep her. The lady she was taking care of considered her as a daughter, but she never admitted that she was a Falun Gong practitioner to any of them.

As she was telling her story, more and more people came on board the bus, and sat down around us. I started talking with her in a louder voice, so that everyone around us could hear, "You practice Falun Gong, and live your life according to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance and according to what Teacher has told us. This is why you have done so well and everyone likes you. But why didn't you admit that you practiced Falun Gong? You live by those noble principles, but you did not tell your patients. Then you are not being completely 'truthful', right?" She nodded. "The older woman treats you so well, considers you as her daughter and you see her suffer so much; but you just practice this precious qigong yourself secretly, without sharing it with her. This is not 'compassion', right?"

We continued talking, "Falun Gong is being persecuted and misunderstood. You should tell people the facts, right?" She kept nodding her head while listening. "I think you should also clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the older woman and the all of her relatives." She said, "Thank you very much for the good pointers. I know how to do things better now."
