By a Dafa practitioner from Taiwan

(Clearwisdom.net) Every Dafa practitioner has his or her family and work situation as the environment of their cultivation. When I looked back at my first experience job hunting after I left school, I felt as if everything had been arranged very well by some supernatural force. I found a very stable job with many colleagues working together, giving me the chance to get to know lots of people. After I learned Falun Dafa and read the Dafa books, I came to understand little by little that I have the responsibility to clarify the truth of Falun Dafa to people. I felt that Teacher had arranged such conditions for us intentionally, giving us many chances to clarify the truth to people. If we fail to take these opportunities, people will blame us for our selfishness and coldness when the Fa-rectification comes to the human world, and we definitely will be remorseful and without a meaningful excuse before those sentient beings who had predestined relationships with us.

It was my turn to chair the morning meeting this August. Upon receiving this task, an idea came to my mind that I should take it as a chance for truth clarification. However, negative thoughts quickly followed—thoughts that my audience would refuse to accept my words, that they would think I was preaching to them, and that my superiors would be unhappy. My mind was crammed with all kinds of worries. I realized that it was interference, but I just could not help worrying and being afraid. As this battle between good and evil raged, I repeatedly told myself that I should uphold a strong main consciousness and righteous thoughts. I told myself that it was a great thing for me to validate the Fa and to clarify the truth of Dafa to people, and that evil from other dimensions must never be allowed to interfere with something so important. I encouraged and inspired myself in my mind that I should not let this opportunity pass by and that I would be full of regret if I failed to utilize it. I then recited Lunyu in my mind, as well as repeatedly recited the Fa-rectification verses. Little by little, I decided to let go of my mind of being afraid and let Teacher arrange everything for me. I decided I would clarify the truth during the morning meeting.

Before the meeting started, I sent forth righteous thoughts toward the meeting room. Then I recited in my mind Teacher’s poem ‘What’s to fear?’ from Hong Yin II. I asked Teacher to help me so that I could make the truth clarification run smoothly. As I directed the meeting I first made some routine announcements. Then I invited the speakers to speak in order. In previous meetings all speakers finished their talks promptly, but this time everyone was particularly interested and the speeches all went over schedule. I saw the people due to attend the next meeting our room waiting outside the door, and some of my colleagues were leaving the meeting. When our business was finished, I asked the attendees in a kind tone to give me ten more minutes. Then I played a video song "Dove Soaring High over the Storm" for them. As the video played, the meeting room was so silent that it felt as if the air was frozen. Seeing everyone's attention focused on the video and the song telling about the persecution of Falun Gong cultivators, I believed that the truth was being disseminated to them and that ignorant people would come to know the atrocities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

After the song finished, I briefly described the illegal imprisonment and persecution of Falun Gong cultivators by the CCP and the stories of some children who became homeless because of the persecution. Then I mentioned the CCP’s horrible killings of Falun Gong practitioners by removing their organs when they are still alive. I asked everyone to offer their help to stop the persecution. Although no one took concrete action at that moment, I knew that the stark contrast between good and evil, the atrocities of the CCP, and the truth about Falun Gong had already been sealed in every attendee’s mind.
