How I Successfully Clarify the Truth on the Internet
By a practitioner in Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2000. Before
becoming a Falun Gong practitioner I considered many religions. While entering
each and every religion I was always required to donate money for printing
scriptures, in order to ask for good luck and to get rid of misfortune and karma
for family members. Also, I'd often place a tray of fruit in front of a Buddha
statue and ask for Buddha's protection. I spent all my personal savings in
this way. One day when I was having dinner with some religious friends in a restaurant,
the television there was showing the "April 25" event. One of them
asked, "What do you guys think about Falun Gong being so popular, with this
many people sitting there doing meditation?!" I immediately replied to my
friend Mr. Yang, "Let's go home and talk about it." Thinking back
about what I said at that time, it sounded like Teacher predetermined my
cultivation path as well as Mr. Yang's. Before long, Mr. Yang and I became
Falun Gong practitioners, and we go to the same practice site as well. I had a quick and bad temper before practicing Falun Gong. After becoming a
practitioner, one time my family was doing a remodeling project, which made me
so busy that I didn't even have time to study the Fa or do the exercises.
There was debris everywhere, and asking my husband for help was not successful
either. I got so angry and mad that I swore. My youngest son then said,
"Mom, relax, don't be so concerned, you'll be okay!" What he said
woke me up--wasn't it Teacher's hint? I forgot I was a practitioner! My youngest son was at the time going to school in Tainan. On one occasion,
my eldest son was fighting with his younger brother over the use of a computer,
as if they were enemies. I was so frustrated that I cried. Then suddenly, I
thought of Teacher's Fa. "Why don't you think about it? Aren't they here to torment you?
They use this form to make you unable to lead a good life." (Zhuan
Falun, 2000 version) So, I wiped my tears. The next day, the brothers were politely taking turns
using the computer, instead of fighting over it. Maybe it was because I had put
it to rest in my mind. In the early days of my cultivation, one fellow practitioner said to me that
every practitioner should learn to use a computer as a
truth-clarification tool. Of course I wanted to learn too. I'm not
a well educated person and didn't know anything about computers. One time when
my sons weren't at home, I turned on the computer to look, but I didn't even
know how to use the mouse. There was one time, on the Internet, when I came across a policeman who was
transferred from Beijing to Zhuhai City. I posted quite a lot of
truth-clarification materials for him. He threatened to blackout my computer if
I kept transmitting those things. I told him that I wasn't afraid, "What
I'm telling you is all truthful and upright. Let me ask you, were there any
practitioners who got arrested for doing bad things, like committing murder or
arson?" He replied after a pause, "Right, they did nothing
wrong!" Then he continued, "We arrested some yesterday." I regret
I didn't ask him to treat them well. Later he said, "I'll look into it
when I get back to Beijing." I said, "Since you're from Beijing, I
will give you a list of vicious police officers." I have now been doing truth clarification on the Internet for quite some time
without interruption, and my Internet friends in China often line up to listen
to my messages. Although there were those who swore at me, those who talked
suggestively, those who displayed obscene movies, and even some who developed an
emotional attraction, I treated them all as part of my cultivation trials and
tests. Some Internet friends came back to thank me after quitting the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP). One man sent greetings to thank me for convincing him to
quit the CCP using a pen name, and told me that now he has a more positive
outlook on life.I have no real knowledge of computers, and every time I didn't
do well in studying the Fa or sending forth righteous thoughts, my
computer would start to malfunction. The good thing is, a computer technical
expert lives nearby, and I'd like to thank him for fixing my computer whenever
there was a problem, enabling me to do my truth-clarification work on the
Internet smoothly. In summary, it isn't difficult to clarify the truth on the Internet as long
as you know how to copy and paste text. As simple as it is, doing it well
requires that more fellow practitioners with forbearance join in. Some fellow
practitioners have also learned to do it, but regretfully they have unable to
keep it up. May 10, 2007 |
