We Cannot Make Distinctions While Saving Sentient Beings
(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa in 1997. I was persecuted
by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and I fell behind in my cultivation
because I was not clear on the Fa. When I realized my situation, I was
determined to study the Fa diligently, but I often felt that I had deviated from
the Fa. My cousin visited me this morning, and the heavy rain prevented him from
leaving afterward. I was complaining to myself, "Heavens! Why doesn't the
rain stop? This rain is preventing me from studying the Fa and sending forth
righteous thoughts." I decided to order lunch from a restaurant at noon. There were over ten
restaurants near my house. The one closest to my home sells meals and also
offers prostitution, so the food is more expensive. I've never bought food from
them, but since the rain was so heavy, I decided to buy food from the nearest
one. The owner was in her thirties and wore heavy makeup. I picked up a few
dishes and left in a hurry. In the afternoon I needed to return the plates to the restaurant, so I
brought with me the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party
CD to let the girls watch it. I explained how Falun Dafa saves people, and told
them that it is based on the principle of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Before I even finished talking,
one girl accepted the CD, as she already knew a lot about Dafa. Tears welled up
in my eyes after I listened to her talk, and I immediately understood Master's
arrangement. The tears cleared up my misconception, and Master gave me an
opportunity to correct my snobbish mind. Master used the bad weather to let the
girls in the restaurant have a chance to learn the truth. I made a list of the girls who declared their withdrawal from the CCP and its
affiliated organizations, but I could not maintain a peaceful mind. Fellow
practitioners often looked down upon prostitutes. Did we ever consider that they
might be forced into this kind of job in order to make a living? I wrote this
article in order for those who hold the same kind of prejudice to learn from my
experiences. In today's world, where the traditional Chinese culture and values
have been destroyed by the CCP and society is full of violence and brutality, we
must not hold any notions about only saving certain people. We must work hard to
save every being that is savable! Thank you Master for saving me. Fellow practitioners, please point out
anything inappropriate.
