My Experiences Calling China
By a practitioner in America
(Clearwisdom.net) During the process of calling China to
clarify the truth, no matter whether they are my relatives, friends, or
strangers, I always try to help them become clear-minded immediately and
establish a correct understanding regarding the persecution of Falun Gong. In
the past, I would be happy when I ran into people with a good attitude and I was
disheartened when I came across people with a bad attitude. I later realized
that people with positive attitudes are the ones who have learned the truth or
have no negative understanding of Dafa. So they are not a problem. I only needed
to supply them with new information so they could help us to spread the truth.
The real emphasis should be on those who do not know the truth of Dafa and have
a negative impression of Dafa and Dafa disciples. If we do not clarify the truth
to them, they may lose their future. But since these people have deviated
concepts and have been poisoned by lies for a long time, it's not easy to change
them with a single call. But among these people, a large number have mentioned that
they know someone who practices Falun Gong, and they have already seen
truth-clarifying materials. In those areas with a good environment, the Falun
Gong practitioners show a righteous image. I have seen that in areas where
people have sympathy for Falun Gong practitioners, the people have less
resistance to the truth clarifying calls. Even if they have some
misunderstandings or questions, they will put them forward for discussion. If at
the end, they have still not changed their minds, they express that they will
read more truth clarifying materials or get more information from the
practitioners around them. In addition, many people's minds are unstable and their good
thoughts can be subverted. Sometimes we change their minds, and then after some
time when the situation changes, they may have a misunderstanding again.
Therefore, truth clarifying should be an ongoing effort. However, every time we
clarify the truth to them it is to strengthen their righteous minds and let them
have a wider and deeper understanding of Dafa. Eventually, they will become
immune to the lies. Because of the limits of time and human resources, calling
one person many times in a large-scale effort is not realistic. Therefore, calls
from overseas practitioners are only a small part of what's needed in clarifying
the truth to the Chinese people. The solidifying work falls on practitioners in
China to create a better environment. The efforts of practitioners overseas and
in China will thus be unified. In addition, the words and actions of practitioners in their
daily lives constitute truthfulness. People listening to the truth will compare
what we say with the behavior of practitioners they see in their daily lives. If
the practitioners are admired by them, they will more easily accept the truth.
Otherwise, they will not listen to us at all. Therefore, during our daily lives
and in the workplace, even when we are not telling others about Falun Dafa, if
we behave well, Dafa practitioners will be spreading the truth every minute.
Thus, we are required to hold ourselves to a high standard in our personal
cultivation, not only for our own improvement, but more importantly, in order to
avoid creating obstacles for saving people. March 17, 2005 |
