By a practitioner in Taiwan

(Clearwisdom.net) In the past, I have clarified the truth in Hong Kong. At that time, I had been studying the Fa for less than a year. I didn't know how to clarify the truth and I had only held up posters. Now, I feel I am mature. I go alone to the front doors of restaurants to clarify the truth and persuade people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. All my wisdom is given to me by Dafa.

I had different experiences each time I went to Hong Kong. Several examples during my recent trip there made me think deeply. One time, I talked to a traveler from mainland China and said, "Falun Gong has been persecuted, you must know this!" He replied, "Falun Gong should be persecuted." Immediately I sharply replied, "Falun Gong should not be persecuted. No one has the right to persecute Falun Gong." He said, "You still say you practice Falun Gong?" I felt embarrassed. I am a Dafa practitioner. How can I not be compassionate? I looked inward - I was angry. I then gently said, "Everyone's life is precious and no one should be persecuted. Besides, Falun Gong teaches people to be good." He silently walked away. Whether sentient beings show compassion or evil, we should not be affected by their attitudes. Instead we should treat them equally without personal judgment, and tell them the truth. This is because everyone should have a chance, and not just the sentient beings we want to save.

I was often told by mainland visitors, "Little girl, you are too young. How much do you understand?" I would tell them, "I understand I need to be compassionate and support justice. How about you? Follow me, choose to support justice, and we will have a beautiful future!" They would laugh, and often start chatting about the truth. I no longer treat mainland visitors as strangers. I tell them the truth as friends.

Once a mainland visitor told me with a smile before he left, "After listening to what you said, my mind is clear. I understand everything. Thank you!" But no matter how I tried to persuade him to quit the CCP organizations, he would not say yes or no. Before he got on his bus, I told him, "My friend, please remember, you must quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Life is precious. Remember Falun Dafa is good. The phone number to quit the CCP in Hong Kong is 21569992. You can use a nickname or an assumed name." He walked towards me and asked me to repeat the number. He tried to repeat the phone number himself. He smiled at me and got on the bus. I knew another sentient being would be saved.

Clarifying the truth in Hong Kong is similar to Monks' wandering about. You often experience a character test unexpectedly. Sometimes, you experience bad words, someone splashing water on you, being chased with a broom, etc. But as the Fa-rectification moves faster, more and more sentient beings know the truth. Sometimes people actively help in distributing papers and explaining the truth. The day before I went back to Taiwan, we were sending righteous thoughts and getting the display boards ready at a scenic area, and we heard someone shouting, "The heavens extinguish the CCP. Falun Dafa is good..." The voices were from students in an opposite campus. They stood on high ground and shouted the words to us. This lasted for about ten minutes. There was also an old man who was supportive of us, and after hearing that he shed tears. Not just Dafa practitioners are touched.

After clarifying the truth in Hong Kong, I felt tired and overworked in the beginning. When I had this thought, I told myself - if a little hard work can save more sentient beings, why shouldn't I do it? Since sacrifice and hard work can be exchanged for saving more beings, I am determined to continue clarifying the truth. When I melt into Dafa, and think only about sentient beings, all the tired feelings disappear.

I self-reflected after this Hong Kong trip. When I thought about the precious lives, I knew I hadn't finished my mission. There are still many beings who do not know the truth. There are still many beings who do not know the beauty and magnificence of Dafa. I felt sorrow in my heart, as the time left is becoming less and less. How can I save more sentient beings? I should first cultivate well, then save more sentient beings. Fa-rectification is not individual cultivation. But, if one doesn't cultivate well, one will interfere with saving sentient beings and in validating the Fa. Only when we continuously eliminate our attachments, and set ourselves right, will we use time wisely, and save precious lives. We do not have time to be interfered with by the evils. If we do not do well in the three things Teacher asks of us, I think we will not have another chance. I feel my life no longer belongs to me - it belongs to all beings. My existence is for Dafa's needs and the needs of sentient beings. I understand I am also a very important particle of Dafa.

I would like to tell Taiwan practitioners from my heart: Let us make good use of the opportunities to clarify the truth in Hong Kong's scenic areas. Is there anything preventing us from stepping forward? The opportunities to clarify the truth to Hong Kong natives is to our advantage. We know the language, and the trip is short, so we should use these opportunities.

The above is my limited understanding. Please let me know of any shortcomings.
