Cooperate Well and Clarify the Facts Widely
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Beijing
(Clearwisdom.net) Three of us practitioners formed a group to do Fa-validation
and truth clarification activities. Practitioner A and I live in
close proximity to each other. Before July 20, 1999, we practiced the exercises
at the same practice site and studied the Fa in the same Fa-study
group. In the last year she established a family truth materials production
site. Practitioner B lives in a village, more than 100 km from our area. She
earns her living at a location outside her village. She has been quietly but
determinedly validating the Fa during the past few years. Practitioners A and B have never met, nor do they know each others' names.
But Falun Dafa practitioners are all one body. Under the protection of Teacher,
we have coordinated effectively with each other, communicated well, and utilized
each others' strengths. Practitioner A makes truth clarification materials and B
and I do not mind any hardship or distance to deliver the blessings to thousands
of families. Many people from the areas we cover have understood the truth,
recognized the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s evil nature, and withdrawn from
the party. Practitioner B was arrested when clarifying the truth and was illegally
detained and persecuted for a year and a half in 2001. Soon after being released
she joined the Fa-validation efforts again. Her family members are not
practitioners, but they all support her. They even help to distribute fliers,
CDs and other truth clarification materials in their area. Practitioner B and
her family members have overcome harassment by the local 610 Office
on many occasions. Because of the Falun Dafa practitioners' truth clarification
efforts over the past years, many ordinary people now agree openly that Falun
Gong practitioners speak the truth, that Jiang's gang is evil, and so on. After having studied Teacher's new lectures, including "Let Go of Human
Attachments and Save the World's People" and "Turning the Wheel
Towards the Human World," we have realized how fast the Fa-Rectification is
advancing, and understood deeper the responsibilities of Falun Dafa
practitioners during the Fa-Rectification period. From the second half of 2005, we realized that we have to distribute a
tremendous amount of truth clarification materials, including the Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party. At the same time we understood
that a large area had to be covered by our truth clarification efforts. We
needed to establish a strong righteous field to diminish the evil spirit of the
CCP. The materials needed to cover the major topics. They had to be distributed
to everyone--on farms, streets and at work locations. We wished to move the
people with the truth, strike a sympathetic chord within them, and let the
effect spread widely. We began immediately after we had come to the aforementioned decision. During
the daytime we checked out the area. We wanted to know the layout of the land,
establish which towns to visit and which roads to take. We chose our targets and
prepared well. In the evening, before going out to deliver materials, we sent
righteous thoughts, asked Teacher to strengthen us, and added the wish,
"let all lives in our target area quietly wait for us, so we can save them,
and let there be no disturbance." Then, practitioner B and I went quickly
on our way. We considered all factors that might hinder us, especially safety
issues, in advance. At each location we separated and decided on where to meet
again, keeping the specific situation in mind. She distributed the materials in
the village. I also distributed some materials and sent righteous thoughts,
until we met again for our trip back home. By using this method and safe transportation, we distributed tremendous
amounts of truth materials to the large and small villages, traveling tens of
kilometers. Under Teacher's protection, everything went smoothly. We have gained
much experience, and witnessed many miracles. While distributing truth
clarification materials, most villages were without much traffic. We rarely saw
people, and even dogs stopped barking. We always bring truth clarification
materials that address a number of important topics at once. We generally
distribute several hundred of these materials at any one time in one or more
villages. Afterwards, we could discern a relatively big impact to the area. In the fall of 2005, when I was climbing up a mountain, I suddenly heard
noise from a loudspeaker coming from a far away mountain behind me. I was new to
that region. In mountain regions, transportation is not easy, and information is
difficult to spread. I asked myself, do people know the truth there? "The
only thing you have a role in is saving people," ("Teaching the Fa in
the City of Chicago") Teacher's lecture came to my mind. I realized: if
there are people out there, there are people out there waiting for us to save
them. But we were faced with many difficulties to get there. It was far away and
we were not familiar with the mountain roads. When I discussed the above thought with practitioner B, we realized that we
followed Teacher for so many years, and we totally negated the old forces'
arrangements along the way. Overcoming difficulties to validate the Fa and save
sentient beings is the way to thoroughly deny the existence of the old forces.
What we want is to bring the blessings of the Dafa of the universe to the
sentient beings in that area. After thorough preparations, including choosing the truth clarification
materials, one night in the beginning of 2006, practitioner B and I walked
toward the far away mountain. It was more than 10 degrees below zero. It was a
fully dark winter night in the mountains. Cold wind blew around us. We still
continued to walk along the mountain roads. We were not scared. We felt Teacher
was right there, protecting us, directing us. Sometimes we got lost in the
bushes. Then we just walked our own way. Mountain roads are narrow and uneven,
and it would be dangerous if we slipped. But we shared our understanding and
experiences on our cultivation path along the way. I don't remember how long we walked or how many hills we climbed. With our
firm belief in Teacher and the Fa, and with our righteous thoughts, we arrived
at the top of a hill and we finally saw the lights on a mountain in the
northeast. We saw the hope for people there to get saved. Teacher said, "A Great Enlightened Being fears not hardship For a will of adamantine has he forged Free of attachment to living or dyingHe walks the path of Fa-rectification,
confident and poised" ("Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions" from Hong Yin II,
provincial translation subject to further improvement). The above are our experience sharing stories and our cultivation during the
Fa-Rectification period. We are sharing them with practitioners throughout the
world, so as to encourage each other. We are one body. Every one of us is an
element of the Fa. As long as we study the Fa diligently, keep our righteous
thoughts and righteous actions and coordinate and harmonize well, we will walk
tall on our route of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings in an open and
aboveboard manner. Only in this way will we not disappoint Teacher's
compassionate salvation and will we fulfill our great duty to save sentient
beings. |
