Promoting the Fa and Saving Sentient Beings

By a young practitioner from Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net)

Greetings, respected Teacher!
Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I am a ten-year-old practitioner in China. Although I have not done as well as other practitioners during the past several years of cultivation, I would like to report my experience to Teacher and fellow practitioners as I am also a Dafa particle. Please point out anything inappropriate.

After I was born, my grandparents (they are practitioners) often played tapes or videos of Teacher's Fa lectures for me. Sometimes my parents and uncle also showed me the Dafa videos. When I was only two years old, I could recite several poems from Hong Yin and often did for people who visited us. In order to promote Dafa, my grandparents would take me to supermarkets and department stores. I recited Dafa poems for the people that worked there, while my grandparents clarified the truth to them. When I was four or five years old, I learned how to send forth righteous thoughts and practice the exercises.

After I started school, my schedule became tight. I studied the Fa at noon and at night. I read Zhuan Falun, sent forth righteous thought and practiced the exercises. If time did not permit, I would recite several poems from Hong Yin. Every day on my way to school, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all evil factors that damage Dafa. When the school raised the flag, I sent forth righteous thought to eliminate the evil spirit of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). One time, when I was in second grade, my teacher said something slanderous about Dafa, I sent forth righteous thought to eliminate the vicious factors behind him, because my classmates would think that Dafa was not good after hearing the teacher's slander.

I am a young practitioner and I need to follow Teacher's words. I want to clarify the truth to save sentient beings. On Sundays and during summer and winter vacations, my grandpa and I would go to places near my classmates' homes and play with them. My grandpa clarified the truth to them in the form of story-telling while I raised questions so that they knew "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." Some classmates also withdrew from the Young Pioneers, which is affiliated with the CCP.

Sometimes I went to distribute and post truth-clarification materials with adults. I pretended that I was playing while posting the materials so that no one would notice me. However, I occasionally have an attachment to fear. The first several times when I posted materials, I was so afraid that my legs were shaking. But I thought of Teacher's words "When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide" (from "The Master-Disciple Bond" in Hong Yin II). With the help of adult practitioners, I frequently sent forth righteous thought to eliminate the evil factors that interfered with my truth clarification. I recited the poems "Hurry Up And Tell Them" and "Chaotic World" frequently. After that I was no longer nervous when I posted Dafa materials.

Through cultivation during the past several years, I have learned some principles of Dafa and done some work to clarify the truth to sentient beings. However, I am still far behind compared to other practitioners and Teacher's requirements. For example, in kindergarten, I was able to tolerate other classmates and always put others first. When I played downstairs, I would tolerate other children and never insulted or fought with others. I was often praised by my neighbors. However, sometimes I forgot that I was a practitioner and occasionally fought with others. In the future, I will follow Teacher's words and do the three things diligently. With Teacher's compassionate protection, I will certainly achieve consummation.
