(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. I work in a factory with several hundred workers in four different workshops. In the past I feared talking to people face-to-face about choosing to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. However, the nature of my work allowed me to come and go in the factory at my discretion. Therefore, I put information materials, including the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and CD's containing truth-clarification information, in the workshops. As I became more involved in this, my fear also subsided. I also intensely studied the Fa because "The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts." (Essentials for Further Advancement II, "Drive Out Interference")

Once two coworkers had seen the truth-clarification materials and stopped me and asked, "You are a Falun Gong practitioner, right? Help me quit the CCP and help him quit the Youth League." This incident touched me deeply. Sentient beings are all waiting for us to save them. After that, I clarified the truth to whomever I came in contact with, including chiefs, team leaders, workers; and most of them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

There were times when things did not go smoothly. One time I ran into a patrol guard in the bicycle parking lot. I asked him, "Do you know anything about 'quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations?' Your life will be saved if you quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations." The man was angered with me and insisted on taking me to the security office. At the time I sent forth righteous thoughts and asked for Teacher's support to eliminate the evil elements in other dimensions.

I refused to go with him, so he called the security office. As a result, a team leader came, but he smiled as soon as he saw me. He said, "It's you again; hurry up and go back to work." He turned around and told the guard, "He was trying to do a good thing for you. You can do it if you want to, and reject it if you don't want to. Just go now."

Teacher said, "Fear can cause one to make mistakes, and fear can cause one to lose a predestined opportunity. Fear is a death trap on a human being's journey toward divinity." ("Pass the Deadly Test") Let's cultivate away our attachment to fear so that we can do better in validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. Let's strive forward on the path of godhood.

Distributing Truth-Clarification Materials in Towns and Villages

By Binghua, a practitioner in Weihai, Shandong Province

I obtained the Fa in 1999. I used to work in a senior care center. I often studied the Fa until late in the night because I did not have time during the day. Because my shift alternated between day and night, I could not calm my mind when I studied the Fa, nor was I able to study the Fa deeply enough. After a while, I eventually began to study the Fa well, and within six months, all my illnesses, including heart disease and problems in my head and back, disappeared. Teacher eliminated my karma for me as I studied the Fa. I'm 78 years old and I feel light. I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart and I thank Teacher for saving me.

The Chinese regime started the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners on July 20, 1999. Since then, I have been distributing truth-clarification materials and let a lot of people know about the persecution.

I went to a neighboring town and saw several people chatting. I approached them and started distributing truth-clarification materials. I've visited 5 towns and 30-plus villages, and distributed several thousand copies of truth-clarification material, mostly in person. Throughout the process I encountered all sorts of different people. No matter what, quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations can save people's lives. I therefore have a compassionate mind toward people. I did not get carried away when I ran into people who were easily convinced, nor did I feel frustrated when I ran into people who were hard to talk to. I searched within myself if I failed to explain to people clearly. I summarized my lessons and tried to do better the next time.

I learned to look inward after studying articles written by Teacher. I realized that in the past I was only looking outward without looking inward to check if what I did was in line with the Fa or if my thoughts were in the Fa. I have improved my xinxing by looking inward.
