By a Dafa practitioner in Heilongjiang Province

(Clearwisdom.net)

With the Fa-rectification progressing forward rapidly, I feel it is more pressing than ever to clarify the truth and save sentient beings, so I feel that my responsibility is also increased. I seize every opportunity to clarify the truth, because if I do not, I may not have another opportunity to see those people again, and it is possible that they may only have this one chance to meet with a Dafa practitioner in eons to hear the truth and be saved. If I have more time, I will say more, otherwise a few words will suffice.

One day, after coming back from kindergarten, my two-year-old son asked me: "Mother, who said 'Falun Dafa is good'?" "I was stunned as those words did not come from him, and then I realized his teacher must have asked him that question when he recited "Hong-yin" and sang the song "Falun Dafa is good." I knew that it was time to clarify the truth to his teacher. I put an article on the case of the staged self-immolation in a sealed envelope and gave it to my son's kindergarten teacher. I said to her, "I would like you to read this; it is very good." She had no idea what it was, but thanked me anyway. Next day she said to me nervously, "You still practice this; it is banned. You'd better stop quick." I smiled and told her the fact that Dafa teaches people to be kind and promotes health, yet is being slandered. I also answered her questions and resolved many of her doubts. Later on she cautioned me to practice at home in secret, and not to let my work unit know. I told her that my work unit already knew, and she became more relaxed and smiled.

Indeed after July 20^th, 1999, I became sort of a "celebrity" at work because I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Dafa. After I broke through their confinement and their attempt to send me to the brainwashing class for persecution, I had created a very righteous and open environment for clarifying the truth about Dafa.

At the beginning, the leaders at each level often tried to "transform" me, but I used those opportunities to clarify the truth to them. I told them the facts about the self-immolation farce, the spreading of Dafa abroad, lessons from history, and answered the questions that perplexed them. The political secretary from the work unit headquarters said that he did not believe in communism either, but under the communist rule, he had to listen to the communist party. The political secretary from my branch office asked me if in the future when Falun Gong's issue is redressed, if I could refrain from hating him. I replied that as a practitioner, we don't harbor hatred, but I hoped that he could position himself well.

I had some business at the human resources department. I said to the director that it would be hard to tell if a grape is sour or sweet until one has eaten it, and to tell if Falun Gong is good or not, as a practitioner, I'd be the most qualified person to talk about it. The six or seven people present all laughed. I went on to expose the lies on TV and talked about how I had benefited from the practice, and that the persecution of Dafa is unconstitutional. The director said with a smile, "You'd better leave quickly, we'll end up practicing Falun Gong if you say any more".

Clarifying the truth to the blue-collar co-workers is much easier, as they do not shun the sensitive subjects, but the office workers are much more discreet, so it is difficult to even bring it up. So, I try not to rush it at the beginning. I use Dafa's standard, and try to be considerate of others, kind and helpful. After I have gained their trust and respect, clarifying the truth becomes much easier.

After reading the newspaper's report on the interception of the TV broadcast on February 14^th, I asked them if they had seen the contents of the broadcast. Then I pointed out that the TV station is supported by taxpayers, yet it does not serve the people but instead exclusively plays songs of praise for the Communist party. I mentioned Liu Chengjun, who was tortured to death for intercepting the regular TV programs to bring people the truth.

My work unit has a staff of more than one thousand, and I am only able to talk to a few of them. I posted the unit's telephone numbers to the overseas truth-clarifying team and mailed out truth clarification CD's to some individual administrative offices. Under the joint effort of overseas and domestic practitioners, the environment is changing rapidly. I heard people say that they had received calls from overseas one day, and someone else said that he had found truth-clarifying CD's on his doorsteps the next.

A few days later, someone saw some truthful information about Falun Gong on the Internet, and others saw truth clarifying banners in the park. They also commented that the practitioners were very smart. The banners were tied down with rocks, and it was flying at a high location. The police grabbed for it at once but they could not reach it. I am really happy for the people who have come to know the truth about Falun Gong.

In the process of truth clarification, I have enlightened to the fact that studying the Fa well and maintaining a kind and peaceful state is crucial, and at the same time sending frequent righteous thoughts targeting the region in question is also important. At other times, practitioners need to be prepared and organize their material well, so that when the opportunity comes, they can use it effectively.
