When Clarifying the Truth, Be Rational

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Hubei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Yesterday, I visited my younger sister who is a journalist by profession. She told me something which happened to her that I want to share with fellow practitioners, especially those who are taxi drivers.

This is how it happened. My sister went out for business and she hailed a taxi. As soon as she got into the taxi, the driver told her, "Heaven is eliminating the Chinese Communist Party, the wicked CCP is about to collapse. Quickly quit the CCP so you can save your life. The great elimination is coming soon, many people are going to die. Those who refuse to quit the CCP will be eliminated."

My sister asked, "How do you know that?"

Then an argument started between them. The driver also said that he had practiced Dafa for more than ten years. My sister told him that as a Falun Dafa practitioner he was not adhering to the principles of "truthfulness, compassion and forbearance", because he still argued with people. My sister got out of the cab at her destination.

My sister believes in Dafa a lot because I have always clarified the facts to her, and Dafa has also showed her miracles. She told me, "The reputation of Falun Dafa is damaged by these people. The more they say, the less people will believe them."

I would like to warn those who talk irresponsibly:

Genuine Dafa disciples all know that Master has repeatedly told us in his lectures that, when clarifying the facts, practitioners must speak to people in ways that they can understand and accept. In the recent "Lecture to the Australian Practitioners", two practitioners mentioned this issue again, and Master explained the Fa extensively, cautioning us not to push people away, and to clarify the facts rationally.

I would like to remind everyone that in Zhuan Falun, Master told us the fundamental reason that the Buddhist Dharma disappeared. Anyone who has read Zhuan Falun would know this. Even if you do not have the intention to damage the Fa, what you are doing is having the same effect as damaging the Fa. Fellow practitioners, you know that Dafa has been protecting you since you started to cultivate Dafa, and nothing bad has happened to you. We thus should safeguard the Fa even more, do as Master said and save more sentient beings.

Though this incident was a rare case, I still would like to mention it here in order to remind all Dafa disciples to help each other to improve and to study the Fa more. This is just my personal understanding, please kindly point out anything which is not appropriate.
