(Clearwisdom.net) Two years ago in our local area, we were unable to access the truth-clarification materials and even Master's new articles. We had to rely on practitioners from other areas to pass them to us. Sometimes we couldn't get the Minghui Weekly for several months. There was an urgent need for truth-clarification materials, as their absence had greatly affected our practitioners' improvement as a whole body as well as saving sentient beings. All of us were very worried. I thought to myself, "How wonderful it would be if I could make the materials." With this thought, Master arranged for me many favorable conditions and also empowered me with the required wisdom and abilities. After sharing with fellow practitioners, we set up a truth-clarification material production site, and solved problem of getting materials for our local area.

In the beginning, the interference was very intense. We used the FC290 photocopier, and the resources were expensive. The drum alone cost 540 yuan. The supplier said that the ink could only be added to each drum three times, after which the drum could no longer be used. At that time, I always did things with human notions. I did not have many chances to share with practitioners who knew about such technology. I feared that the more people who knew about this, the less safe it would be, so I often went to buy the consumable resources by myself and always worried in my heart about being cheated by the suppliers. Whatever I bought, I always tried to bargain with them. When photocopying the materials, I kept thinking about how expensive and costly the consumables were. The more I thought this way, the more costly it turned out to be. I knew in my heart that a cultivator should not get angry and should not complain about others.

Then, what should be done? Why was it like that? I had to seek within. I found that I was very attached to money and had very bad thoughts against the supplier. While photocopying the materials, I should not have been thinking about matters related to money. These bad thoughts in my mind had nourished the evil and enabled them to take advantage of me.

After finding my shortcomings and enlightening on the Fa principles, I studied the Fa more and sent forth righteous thoughts more. I shared with fellow practitioners and we improved together and cooperated with each other as one body. Another practitioner knows about this technology. He took out the drum, washed and cleaned it, installed it again, and added the ink. As a result, all the drums looked brand new, and the quality of the finished materials was very good. I smiled from the bottom of my heart. It was indeed that "Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." ("Lecture Four" in Zhuan Falun)

Since then we have only needed to add ink and have not had any problems. In other words, since the end of 2005 they have continued to function well. This is the mighty power of Dafa. It was Master who was always encouraging us and helping us to minimize the costs. Now, whenever I make photocopies of the materials, except when I'm checking the layout and preventing paper jams, I always think of how good the materials are and how sentient beings will surely accept them. The stories in the materials are so good that sentient beings will surely read them. I am persistent in Fa study and sometimes send forth righteous thoughts at every hour sharp, while letting the photocopier cool down for a while. This way, the photocopier hasn't had any problems.
