Lotus Flowers All Over the Path
By a Falun Gong practitioner outside of China
(Clearwisdom.net) Beginning the second semester of my junior year in
college, I started to practice Falun Gong with other practitioners. I still
remember when I first saw Teacher's picture, I could not help but break into
tears uncontrollably. The feeling was similar to that of a homeless and hopeless
child finding his/her family. It was such a happy and exciting moment that I was
unable to calm down for a long time. After learning the Fa and seeing fellow practitioners diligently
clarifying the truth, I was anxious to do the same but did not know
how. In the beginning, I just turned in some truth-clarifying materials with my
homework and wrote a few words about it. Then I started to use the topics that
the teachers assigned to write truth-clarifying articles that clearly explained
the current persecution and methods of torture used by the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) in the persecution of Falun Gong. It was very strange that all the
homework topics in news class seem to have been arranged just for me. No matter
how hard or strange the topic was, my ideas would always come forth non-stop.
Later, I understood that all the wisdom was given by Master. Master had arranged
for me to clarify the truth here. From the updates on many websites, we know that the CCP still brutally and
cruelly persecutes Falun Gong in Mainland China. Keeping the true nature of a
practitioner and having the responsibility of a particle in the whole body, I
have to clarify the truth to more people. Wherever a Falun Gong practitioner is,
there is no place for the evil to hide. I went to many universities, knocked on
many office doors, and clarified the truth to those people. Some of them laughed
or did not care about what I said. Some of them were astonished and showed their
sympathy. Through learning the Fa, I understood that the power of my words was based on
my cultivation level. Therefore, I sent forth righteous thoughts to cleanse
myself, to eliminate the elements that interfered with the Fa-validation, and to
get rid of everyday people's notions and behaviors that hindered the Fa-rectification.
I combined the purity of my human side with all the bodies in other dimensions
as a whole body, and asked Master to support my righteous thoughts. The power of
these righteous thoughts was enormous. When I had done the three
things well, I could feel that the separation between the human side and
the other side had been deeply moved by the Fa. Many presidents from other countries visited the university I attended when
they came to Ukraine. I was always thinking about how to clarify the truth to
them. Whenever there was a chance to ask them questions, I always mentioned that
the CCP persecutes basic human rights and Falun Gong. Sometimes, everyone in the
room would clap although I had not really clarified the truth. It seemed as if
many people needed only to hear the words, "Falun Gong." In the
beginning, I had a strong attachment to competition. I wanted to disclose the
disgusting nature of the Communist Party to the people of the world so they
could figure out who would win. Later, while studying the Fa, I understood that
"competition" was not only an evil Party notion, but also an
attachment a practitioner needed to get rid of. I could not use the Party's
culture to change my surrounding environment. I am a Falun Dafa disciple with a mission. Because all of what I am has come
from the Fa, I can only follow the requests of Master and the Fa. The
environment of the university has changed. Whenever the teachers from my courses
on religion, international law, news, language, economy, and international
relationship raised an issue for discussion, "The CCP persecutes Falun Gong
and has murdered thousands of the practitioners" is the subject that they
are concerned about the most. In addition, the Nine Commentaries on the
Communist Party has documented the truth of the CCP for all the
professors of the school. After getting my teacher's permission, I brought the
newest truth-clarifying materials for my classmates. The teacher said to me
sincerely, "Give me a copy." People who can learn the truth and make the right decision are the most
fortunate. A young lecturer openly mentioned Falun Gong and the evil behavior of
the CCP in our class. Half a year later, that teacher became a program host for
a famous TV station. Two of my other teachers went to work for the office of the
Ukraine President. The gods record all the things or words that everyday people
do or say about Falun Gong. I really believe that in suitable times, these
people will be rewarded. Moreover, after reading the truth-clarifying materials
and the Nine Commentaries, many teachers are able to comment fairly on
the facts of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong to their students. They have
enough evidence to show their students how brutal the persecution is. After I graduated from the university, I left for another city. My husband
found that the cosmic climate in that city had changed and that the people would
benefit from Falun Dafa. In order to save the sentient beings, Dafa has
demonstrated infinite mighty virtue and has made the most sacred and beautiful
arrangements for Dafa disciples. While my husband and I were handing out
truth-clarifying materials in different residential areas, he observed that I
was always impatient. He said to me sincerely and calmly, "Handing out
truth-clarifying materials is also cultivation practice. It is not an everyday
person's work. While distributing the materials, your attitude, compassion, and
mercy will be imprinted on the materials. If you treat it as everyday people's
work, the sentient beings will not cherish what you do. Master and the gods are
willing to help you only when you stand on the foundation of the Fa. Master
always told us to understand the Fa from the Fa. This is very important, since
what you are going to achieve is to replace your every thought and idea with
divine righteous thought." I changed my mindset. Later, I saw many
beautiful, shining lotus flowers in many different colors on the routes that we
took to hand out truth-clarifying materials. Sometimes the lotuses were even
hanging in the trees. My husband asked me to look at them up close. Buddhas were
sitting on each one of them. At this moment, my mind is deeply moved. The Fa-rectification path that Falun
Dafa disciples walk on is really the most sacred. April 11, 2007
