By a Taiwan practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) After I started to cultivate, my emphasis on clarifying the facts has been to China and the people around me. Nowadays, networks are so advanced that just one email can spread across the country. I often use emails to send truth clarification materials or suitable articles to colleagues, friends, and relatives.

Several colleagues told me that reading cultivation experience sharing articles written by practitioners over time is in fact purifying one's mind and body. One colleague read an article by practitioners and felt an unimaginably great forbearance expressed. She asked me how that could be achieved. I told her that she would find out by reading Zhuan Falun a lot. Later, she also obtained the Fa.

Be it clarifying the facts to China or waking people up around town, what's obvious is whether you have enough compassion. My experiences show that clarifying the facts to the Chinese often requires many repeated phone calls, explaining and assuring them, one hang-up after another, with compassion that can melt iron and steel. Many changes were brought about by such efforts.

When I awaken people around me, practitioners or non-practitioners, I find that their attachments and the weaknesses in my own cultivation create obstacles.

When the understanding of Fa principles is not clear, one might be blocked by one's own attachments. The Fa has different requirements for practitioners at different levels. One may be seen as having a big heart when measured by the Fa at a lower level, whereas he/she might still not be up to the standard when measured using the Fa at higher levels. Thus, for those who were very stubborn, I was not able to melt their hearts or touch them.

Sometimes, when I was being targeted, my heart could not remain peaceful. I thought that, if I weren't cultivating in Dafa, I wouldn't try to get along with them. Through studying the Fa over and over, I was able to look inward and find my own omissions. No matter how badly others treated me, there was always content for my own cultivation. With a clear understanding of this principle, there won't be even a tiny bit of anger or grudge left in the heart.

In China there are still so many lives that have been poisoned by the evil Communist Party and are awaiting to be saved. Dear fellow practitioners, please don't forget to always wake up the people around you.

If you encounter someone that won't listen, the first thing to do is to look inward and see if certain attachments need to be dropped. As long as we know to look inward, Master will always guide us to principles of the Fa to which we need to enlighten.

This is from my personal enlightenment at my current level. Please kindly offer any feedback and point out any shortcomings.
