Written by a Dafa practitioner and university student in China

(Clearwisdom.net) On the street, I often run into foreigners who ask me for directions or who are waiting for the bus. If I also happen to be waiting for the bus, I use the opportunity to clarify the truth to them. Usually I start chatting about everyday affairs, household issues, etc. After mutual trust is built, I start to tell them about Falun Dafa, how Falun Dafa has spread far and wide in the world, and how Dafa is banned and persecuted in China, etc. Usually at this time, they look surprised. Some ask, "What can I do to help them?" I tell him (her) that under such brutal persecution in China, it is not easy to do anything for Dafa practitioners. When they go back to their homeland, he/she could tell their friends and family about the persecution and support efforts to end it.

Once I met a young female teacher from Ireland. After a brief chat, I started to clarify the truth to her in English. Before I started, I sent righteous thoughts in my mind: no matter my English level, I could not let the old forces interfere with my efforts to clarify the truth. Therefore, I tried my best to use the words and sentences that I could remember to clarify the truth about Dafa. I found that when I clarified the truth to her, I could remember and use many words that normally I could not remember. I knew Master was helping me and opened up my wisdom. Also I sent forth righteous thoughts before I started and eliminated all evil interference. She listened to me carefully and during our conversation, she kept nodding her head. When I talked about the persecution, she seemed to be in tears. I could see that she was deeply moved. During our conversation, I told her about the beauty of Falun Dafa. In the end, when we departed, she asked me, "How can I find a practice group here?" When I heard what she said, I was a little taken aback: how pure her thoughts were! I told her that it was not easy to find a practice group here in Mainland China, but she could definitely find practitioners in the capital city of Ireland to help her learn more.

Of course, things are not always so smooth. On our path of cultivation, there are often barriers. I remember that when I clarified the truth to one westerner from Australia, the first time she pretended to not know. The second time, she still said, "I do not know if there are Falun Gong practitioners in Australia. I never heard about this." I once again solemnly told her about the wide-spread of Dafa in Australia and the whole world and the facts that Dafa practitioners are being persecuted in China. This time, she finally said, "Yes, indeed, there are many practitioners in Melbourne." After talking to her three times, she believed I was sincerely telling the truth to her and thus she started to let down her guard (she originally thought I might be a secret agent). I smiled and she also smiled. It seems even some westerners have the mentality of "security is the first priority when visiting China."

Once I clarified the truth to a young man from Australia. Since he was deeply poisoned by CCP (Chinese Communist Party) propaganda, as soon as I mentioned Falun Gong, he started repeating the propaganda. I was surprised because I have never heard a westerner speak like that. Therefore I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind him that were trying to prevent him from listening to the truth. After some discussion, his negative attitude disappeared. He gradually woke up.

My conversation with this young Australian man made me more determined to clarify the truth to westerners in China. I tried to clarify the truth to all westerners that I could get in touch with. I have clarified the truth to at least 20 people so far. They came from the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Columbia, India, Russia, Norway, and even North Africa, including my current lecturer and foreign teachers at my school. Indian people impressed me the most. At present, Dafa is spreading quickly in India. In some places almost everyone knows about Dafa. Every Indian person that I met knows Dafa is good. A brother and sister from India even shouted "Falun Dafa is good" on the street in China. When I saw this, I gave a heartfelt sigh: overseas practitioners have done such a wonderful job and our Mainland Chinese practitioners should also grasp every possible opportunity to save people!
