The Poem on a Headboard

By a practitioner from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) In my village, there is a practitioner named Huilan, who is a town cadre. She started practicing Falun Dafa after the persecution started. Many local government employees know that she practices Dafa and she "clarifies the truth" among them smoothly. Her coworkers all got to know about the evilness of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and many of them have quit the CCP. Some have even helped their family members to quit.

There is a also very interesting phenomenon. When her coworkers had conflicts, they all turned to Huilan for her judgment and help, hoping to relieve their problems. Huilan always invited them to her dormitory and showed them Master's poem, "An Upright Person" from "Hongyin" (Version A) that she had transcribed and posted on the headboard of her bed:

He who acts for his name
a life of anger and hate is his
He who acts for profit
cold is he, knowing not his kin
He who acts for emotion
many are the troubles he brings himself
Bitter,
fighting away,
he makes karma all his life.

Not seeking a name
life is carefree and content
Not set on profit
one is known as humane and righteous
Not stirred by emotion
the mind is quiet, desires few
Kind,
cultivating himself,
he builds up virtue all his years.

She usually asked them to read Master's poem so that they could understand its meaning and principles. She then talked with them about xinxing and how practitioners try to broadminded. Through this, her coworkers all came to respect Falun Dafa.

Not only did Huilan clarify the truth to her coworkers, she also clarified truth to people she didn't know, such as the shoe repair person and the vegetable retailer. Several times, when her team leaders or managers were sick, she clarified the truth to them from an observer's point of view and told them many of the amazing things that have happened to Dafa practitioners. She also gave them Dafa amulets as gifts. They got to know the truth and expressed their gratitude to her.

In her spare time, Huilan always walks street by street in the village to distribute truth-clarification CDs and copies of the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party."

When we talked to Huilan, we felt that she was very humble and never showed off how much work she did for Dafa. She exchanged her experiences with us and discussed with us how we could all do better. She said, "We just do our best to do what Master asked us to do and fulfill a Dafa practitioner's responsibilities."
