Lotus Flowers on Summer Days

By practitioners from China

(Clearwisdom.net) This year, the overall cultivation condition in our area has not been very good; it falls short of Master’s expectations. Therefore, I wanted to visit some other areas, to see exactly where our problem lies. Two days ago, I went to a practitioner’s home in another area.

From our experience sharing, I learned that they go out every day to clarify the truth in various ways. After global sending forth righteous thoughts at 12:00 noon, they start to prepare truth-clarifying materials. Among them, there are the latest editions of "Minghui Weekly", Awaken issue No. 17, In-Law, Colorful Bridge issue No. 4, and Morning Greetings etc. They also prepared large amounts of one- to one-and-a-half-inch-wide "Withdraw from the CCP" stickers; those stickers are not noticeable when held in one's hand. Local practitioners planned to meet at 2:00 p.m. that afternoon at an agreed upon location. Fellow practitioners agreed to having me join them. When we arrived, the practitioners who showed up were all women; furthermore, three of them are more than fifty-five years old! They quickly distributed materials and stickers at the meeting place. Can you guess what they did next?

Right on a major avenue, they started to post stickers with the quickest speed. At first, after I saw this, I was moved to tears for their acts of great compassion, but then I became fearful. I followed behind them and sent forth righteous thoughts. Soon, the practitioners had posted "Withdraw from CCP" stickers all over electricity poles, outside of shops, on trees, water pipes, apartment building entrances, etc. They did not even skip government buildings, schools, or police stations. As I was walking along, those stickers seemed so beautiful!

They covered almost half of the city's downtown. Then they traveled a far distance through a suburban district. They finished distributing everything they had on hand and gathered again at 5:00 p.m. They quickly shared experiences with each other regarding the afternoon’s Fa-validation activity and went home.

An elderly practitioner took me to her home, where we had a very nice dinner together, and then we went to another practitioner’s house.

Everything went so smoothly and naturally.

At night, I shared some thoughts with those practitioners, I asked: What has helped you safely and openly clarify the truth door-to-door in public for so many years?

A practitioner replied by listing several things she does every day:

1) Practice the five exercises every morning;

2) Almost never miss the global sending forth righteous thoughts every day at the four set hours, and treats this seriously;

3) She is committed to memorizing Zhuan Falun. Right now she is memorizing the book for the third time and is on Lecture Six. At the same time, we must study Master’s new articles. 4) Continue group Fa study, both formally and informally.

And finally, we must view the Fa as teacher, go everywhere with righteous thoughts and righteous acts! I now understood how my fellow practitioners could be do diligent and effective!

After I came back, I could not calm down, thinking of those elderly ladies, their hearts so calm, pure and solid. They silently validate Fa to people every day; they are saving the lives that are savable. Whenever I think about them, I spontaneously think about the pure lotus flowers growing out of the mud.

Above are my personal understandings. Please compassionately point out anything that is inappropriate.
