By a practitioner from Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. I've been cultivating under Teacher's protection and great compassion for 10 years, and was fortunate to become a Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioner. Today I would like to share with my fellow practitioners my experiences clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings at work over the years.

I'm a teacher, so I don't have much contact with other people in society, because I spend most of my time with my students. I never neglect my opportunity to clarify the truth to my students just because they are children; on the contrary, I regard every student as a sentient being who is eager to be saved. I spend a lot of time with my students, making it possible for me to explain the facts to them well.

From time to time I tell my students short stories at the end of class, stories about the Buddha cultivation of ancient people, the story of the Red-Eyed Lion, Bible stories, and so on. If we come across text that clearly sings the praises of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), I unreservedly tell my students about the Party's evil intentions, the truth about the Cultural Revolution, and the truth about the so-called Long March and other CCP lies. The students like hearing these things. They usually ask a lot of questions.

I also told my students that Darwin's theory of evolution is only a theory. Most religions, however, teach that the God created human beings. The CCP calls Darwin's theory the truth and puts it in the textbooks, aiming to attack theism and sustain its illegal government.

I did my best to reveal to them the CCP's true nature, and then explained that all Communist Party members, League members, and Young Pioneers are Party accomplices. I asked them what they thought they should do as Young Pioneers, and finally, I gradually led them to quit the Young Pioneers.

"People with predestined relationships and those who can be saved can be made to--made to by Master's Law Bodies, righteous gods, or the immense field that Dafa has formed in the world--appear right before you in any of a range of settings, providing them with a chance to learn the truth. But you have to carry it out, and it doesn't work if you're not out there doing things." ("Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the US Capital")

After learning this paragraph of Fa, I more clearly understood that the people we are in contact with all have predestined relationships with us and that they all should be and can be saved. If one of them doesn't understand the truth, it's because we didn't do well. We should continuously tell them the truth while searching inwards. We should try again and again until he or she understands the truth.

I have an older brother who is ill tempered, so I've been afraid of him since I was a little kid. Though he isn't against Dafa, he doesn't dare speak up for Dafa. I tried several times to explain the facts to him, but failed. Once I forced myself to have a formal conversation with him, but he grew weary of me and went against me. From then on I was afraid of him and couldn't open my mouth to tell him the truth. Before, I would have said that this person couldn't be saved and I would've ignored him, but now my attitude has changed. I have enlightened to the fact that he can be saved. I constantly searched inward and tried to find faults within myself, such as my attitude, tone, the words I use, etc., and then I went to my brother again. I also took a copy of the Nine Commentaries and some truth-clarification materials with me. Far beyond my expectations, he accepted the truth. It was totally different from what I'd anticipated. Moreover, he read the book with great enthusiasm. Both my brother and my sister-in-law quit the Youth League using their real names.

We shouldn't assume that a person can't be saved if he initially doesn't believe when he's told the truth; to do so is to fall into the trap set by the old forces. The old forces would then have caused this sentient being to miss the opportunity to be saved by making use of our wrong thinking.

"With righteous thoughts, save the world's people. I just don't believe their consciences are irretrievably lost." ("For the Good of the World")

"Yet there is one situation in which my fashen will not help clean things up. We have a practitioner who one day saw my fashen come to his home. He was very excited: 'Teacher's fashen is here. Teacher, please come in.' My fashen said, 'Your room is too messy, and there are too many things.' Then, it left. Usually, when there are many evil spirits in other dimensions, my fashen will clean them out for you. His room, however, was full of different bad qigong books. He came to understand it and cleaned it up by burning the books or selling them." (Zhuan Falun)

I enlightened to the following: The evil specter of the CCP attaches itself to the books and pamphlets used to transmit the Party's culture and misrepresent Dafa. It poisons the world's people by emitting its toxic vapor everywhere. Once the students read these books, the malevolent spirit of the CCP will control their minds and totally transform their way of thinking into its way of thinking. We should eradicate its things at the surface dimension while eradicating the evil elements behind it, leaving no space for the evil in this dimension. I never gave CCP material to my students, but simply put it back in the package. I also persuaded the other teachers to hand over the materials, so as to avoid going down with the CCP. They all supported me and gave me the CCP materials, which I disposed of.

I told my students not to wear red scarves because they are a symbol of the Party. The song "No CCP, No New China" was often played on the campus during exercise time. Apart from eradicating the elements of the CCP in other dimensions while sending forth righteous thoughts each day, I also thought about how to destroy the tape recording of that song. After this thought came to mind, the principal happened to be out during the exercise period the next day. I entered his office and destroyed the tape.

Once I was told to go to the District Education Commission to pick something up, but they didn't tell me what. When I got there I found out that I was picking up propaganda materials that slandered Falun Dafa and a notice about "strengthening resistance to Falun Gong." On my way back I wondered what I should do. I knew that, no matter what, I couldn't take those materials back to school. I went home and threw them into the fire. Then I tore the notice into pieces and threw it in the garbage. The principal later thought that he'd lost the materials himself.

Clarifying the truth to my colleagues, assimilating to the forms of society

Dafa has endowed me with great wisdom. My teaching performance always ranks first in my district. This isn't my personal ability, but something endowed by Dafa. In the class I'm clear about what the students understand and what they don't, so I can figure out exactly what the students need to learn. Consequently, the students learn fast and get good results. Other teachers can't surpass me no matter how hard they work. They all admire me.

My superiors have also recognized my teaching abilities. Though I've received many rewards I'm not attached to them. I know that the wisdom Dafa has given me is for validating the Fa, not for improving my position in ordinary human society, just like a healthy body acquired through practice is used for cultivation, not for living an ordinary human life.

After I enlightened to these truths, I continued to clarify the truth to my colleagues while creating my cultivation environment. I spoke face to face with my close colleagues. I also helped them log on to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website to see the true side of other countries and how Dafa has spread around the world. To those who weren't against Dafa I gave truth materials and told them the real news. For those who were obstinate, I'd find opportunities to put materials on their desks or hang them on the gate so they'd see them when they came to work. In time, my cultivation environment changed for the better. Many teachers understood the facts, so they not only stopped defaming Falun Dafa, but they also quit the Communist Party, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. Some individuals used to be against Dafa, but have stopped behaving improperly because the current environment is so righteous and they all know that I'm learning Dafa.

There's a couple who are both teachers in our district. The man specializes in politics, but he has given up his illusions about the CCP. He said, "I spent four years learning politics. Actually, it is all about how the Communist Party deals with people." He accepted what I said as soon as I told him the facts. They quit the Youth League together. Once he told me that he'd read the truth before. I was surprised and asked where he had come across the material. He said it was on the Internet. He was proficient with computers and had used the software even before I had. Now he provides me with technical support when I make truth-clarification materials. He is also adept at Internet security, computer setup, and so on. I think this is no coincidence, and that he's come to assist me in saving sentient beings.

"There are Dafa disciples in different fields in Mainland China. In any field there are people cultivating Dafa." ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles")

In this case, if every practitioner can clarify the truth well in his own working environment and save sentient beings, then practitioners as one body are doing well. Soon will come the day that the Fa rectifies this world.

The above is my personal experience. Fellow practitioners, please correct me if you notice any shortcomings.
