(Clearwisdom.net) At our group Fa-study, we help each other to recognize our own shortcomings, and we encourage each other. As a result, we all improve very quickly. One day, I saw an elderly practitioner whom I hadn't seen for seven years. She is sixty-six years old and has a great complexion. We talked about cultivating during the Fa-rectification period and clarifying the facts to save sentient beings. I suggested that she write down her experience to share with others. But she said, "The others in my Fa-study group are doing really well in terms of clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings." She invited me to meet with them. The following are my notes from the experience sharing.

Practitioner A (72 years old): I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996 and benefited greatly. I wanted to tell everyone I met that Falun Dafa is good. I was happy every day. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, I was confused at first. Later, with help from other practitioners, I understood that Dafa is good, and I went to Beijing to stand up for the Fa. My family didn't understand at first. I harmonized with the Fa and used compassion to patiently help my family understand the truth. While doing this, I firmly believed in Teacher's words, "I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe." (Zhuan Falun, Lecture One)

I don't have much education. After I saw the video "Teaching the Fa to Australia Practitioners," I understood that I need to search inward and make the best use of my time to save sentient beings. I need to let go of attachments to fear and selfishness. I spread the truth about Falun Dafa and advise people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I also give them information about Falun Dafa and Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.

Sometimes, I become too zealous. If I speak about the Fa at too high a level, people usually cannot accept it. So, I look inside and remind myself not to become zealous. Then I can tell people the facts based on their level of understanding. For example, when some business people don't understand, I tell them, "The heavenly signs are here. As old as I am, why would I lie to you?" People in general are surprised when I tell them my age. When I talk to them with compassion, they immediately accept the truth.

One time, I was telling people about how the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa in a public plaza. At first, I didn't get many people to withdraw from the party. Then, I saw a police car. I fearlessly and calmly explained the truth to people, and many people from communist youth league quit the party. After that, I had a thought about helping a CCP member withdraw. Teacher arranged it, and a person came to me. Once I started talking, I found out that everyone in his family was a member of the CCP. He immediately withdrew from the CCP. Then, I realized that the police car was following me. I sent forth righteous thoughts: "No one can touch me," and I safely left the plaza.

One time when I was on a bus, I sent forth righteous thoughts to have people with predestined relations come to me. An old lady came to me, and I asked her how her health was. She said, "Not so good." I told her that reciting "Falun Dafa is good" would help her health. I asked her to open her bag, and I put a copy of Nine Commentaries in it. She thanked me over and over.

I have a large family, and I try to treat everyone with compassion. My daughter and my grandson have started practicing Dafa. I use Dafa to guide my grandson. He is nine years old and knows to search inward.

Practitioner B: Regarding telling people about Falun Dafa and helping people withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, one time when I was shopping for vegetables, I had already bought everything I needed. But, someone behind me kept calling me to buy his vegetables. I turned around and told him about Falun Dafa. He was in fact a member of the CCP. It was all arranged by Teacher.

I have a bad habit of being picky when shopping for vegetables. I need to get rid of this attachment to self interest.

When other practitioners in our Fa-study group were going through illness karma, we all tried to help by sending forth righteous thoughts, studying the Fa together, doing exercises together, and improving from the Fa's perspective.

Practitioner C (70 years old): I started practicing Dafa in 1995. I never have any fear when I distribute Dafa materials. I always distribute as many as I have. Every time before I go out to distribute materials, I ask Teacher to strengthen me so that nobody can see me. I send forth the purest thought, "I am here to save you." With Teacher and the Fa at my side, I want to save more people. Everything is arranged by Teacher. Whoever has a predestined relationship gets it. Those who do not have predestined relationships do not come close to me.

Practitioner D: The characteristic of practitioner C is that she is very well-organized and fast. In a big park, she was able to put truth-clarifying materials everywhere. It is very easy to distribute truth-clarifying materials with her. She is very compassionate and simple. She went to Beijing three times and was truly able to validate the Fa.
