By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in the United States

(Clearwisdom.net) I want share on the problems I saw while selling the New Year Spectacular tickets.

Some fellow practitioners think "This method is good for selling tickets but that one is not." Some are still attached to "how to sell the tickets faster." They are still running around worried about "tickets" and "people." Divine beings look at things with divine thoughts because the Spectacular is part of the Fa-rectification; its not just simply Falun Dafa disciples validating the Fa. All the people watching the show can be saved, and in order to be part of that audience, they need to buy tickets. Selling tickets carries the inner meaning of saving sentient beings. We must find the people that can be saved by selling tickets so they can go watch the show.

Who will come and watch the show? My personal understanding is that whoever chooses to come after hearing about this Spectacular will be choosing their future, and there will be seats for them because of their choice. Another important factor is that the CCP has extended its dark minions overseas, ruining people, which has caused quite a portion of Chinese people to not be able see the true image of the CCP and hence withdraw from it. Therefore, this Spectacular is the way that enables them to be saved directly by learning the truth. We should care about these Chinese people; also, many of them often visit mainland China, so they can spread the truth in their homeland through word of mouth. This is a very powerful force. Overseas fellow practitioners are directly supporting mainland China fellow practitioners through this show; after all, we are all one body. If all overseas Chinese learn the truth, the CCP will lose its grip overseas.

There are only two weeks left to our show in New York. As long as we all get rid of our human attachments, look at the New Year Spectacular with righteous thoughts, and upgrade our enlightenment on the Fa, our one body would have a huge breakthrough. The cosmos is doing Fa-rectification through the New Year Spectacular with an orderly arrangement. Where should we keep our minds? Master is doing Fa-rectification through the Spectacular, and whatever Master has chosen is the most righteous. The New Year Spectacular gives all beings the best. We need to strengthen those beings who want to come and watch the show so that no one can block them from coming to watch the show. Hence, our energy field around the Spectacular is very righteous, and it will manifest as the Spectacular being very attractive to the people, so more and more people will want to watch. If this happens, then our several dozens of thousands of tickets would not be enough.

Some fellow practitioners count how many tickets we have sold periodically, then set a goal of how many we want to sell within the next week. If we sink into just the "tickets," we will be attached to selling tickets, which is just the surface phenomena, and the evil would enter at this gap. If we can go beyond selling tickets and not be moved by any surface phenomena, but just clarify the truth and save sentient beings, the end result will be positive, and the tickets will be sold faster. We will far exceed our goal.

Some regions have neglected group Fa-study during their busy time periods. Group Fa-study and exercises are the eternal forms that Master has passed down to us and generations to come. In more complicated circumstances and environments, it is a way to express our degree of faith in Master and Dafa. On the surface, it is true that we have to put down what we are doing to join the group Fa-study. Fellow practitioners must congregate at a place from all corners of the city, which takes time as well. Nevertheless, the results of group Fa-study can help us do better with what we are doing and reduce detours on our paths. The cost and effect of joining the Fa-study is not comparable. We have all experienced that some fellow practitioners are busy all day, from morning to night, yet they still might have to redo what they did and waste a lot of time. For the fellow practitioners who study the Fa or do the exercises first thing in the morning, their work during the day is much more effective, and they accomplish their goal rapidly and easily.

Sometimes coordinators complain about a few disciples, saying that they need to step forward actively on their own. In fact, only the Fa can fundamentally change a being. Only when a being has enlightened on the Fa can his enlightened self know what to do automatically. Any orders, suggestions, or persuasion will not make a change in their nature. The busier we are, the more clearly we must keep our rationality. We must place emphasis on group Fa-study, maybe intensively study the Fa in groups, and upgrade as a one body. Therefore, the task can be fulfilled better by all.
