(Clearwisdom.net) I didn't truly practice Falun Gong until 1997. I would like to take this precious opportunity provided by the Minghui/Clearwisdom websites to share my humble cultivation insights. Here are my thoughts over the past few years since the last Mainland Chinese Cultivation Conference with fellow Falun Gong practitioners.

1. Clarifying the Truth to People Face-to-Face Provides an Opportunity to Save People and Cultivate Myself

I have learned many things from my experiences clarifying the truth about Falun Gong to people face-to-face. First, we must have strong righteous thoughts. During the process of clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, we are bound to run into all types of situations, all kinds of people, and all types of interferences and danger. When I run into problems, it is my heart that will determine the outcome. At the pivotal moment, I must have powerful righteous thoughts to repel interference and reverse the situation. Second, I feel that it's important to learn from fellow practitioners' experiences published on the Minghui/Clearwisdom websites to update my understandings of truth-clarification. The statistics on the number of people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its two affiliated organizations are almost always up-to-date. Thirdly, I find it important to have compassion. This is something I still need to work on. I suppose it is an important reason why the result of my truth-clarification work has not been as good as I had expected. I tend to become anxious and forceful, sometimes showing-off and coming across as being superior to others. These attachments have been exposed during the process of my truth-clarification work and must be eliminated during my cultivation practice.

I also have a tendency to stutter. It used to be a challenge for me to speak in public. It is most curious that the stutter is absent when I clarify the truth. Some people even comment that I am an eloquent speaker and very amiable. I know this can be attributed to the wisdom Falun Gong has bestowed upon me, and support from Teacher. A fellow practitioner I know of lacked courage to clarify the truth to people face-to-face. Once she overcame this fear, she became very good at encouraging people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She was once incarcerated in a detention center for a few months, and during the imprisonment, she managed on three occasions to release lists of dozens of people who agreed to quit the CCP. I would like to take this opportunity to remind fellow practitioners to stop using excuses not to clarify the truth to people face-to-face. Teacher said,

"If you can actually do it, you will indeed find: "After passing the shady willow trees, there will be bright flowers and another village ahead!" (Lecture Nine, from Zhuan Falun)

2. Overcome Difficulties in Clarifying the Truth on the Internet

Teacher said,

"The focus for you right now is simply to find ways to do better, to be more efficient, to have a greater impact, and to save more people." ("Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital")

Since beginning to assist Teacher in the Fa-rectification, I have been thinking about more effective ways to save people. A fellow practitioner collects his clients' email addresses from work and was very interested in clarifying the truth over the Internet. I have always been very technically challenged, but I asked for technical assistance from a fellow practitioner with technical knowledge. Between the four of us, we started making bold attempts to clarify the truth about Falun Gong over the Internet.

I know that Teacher will make the best arrangement for us as long as we have the desire to save people. There are four practitioners involved in this project, and we each have different strengths. One has excellent technical abilities while another is very enthusiastic. One of the practitioners is good at collecting truth-clarification materials, and the other pays excellent attention to details and is a good candidate for organizing our email boxes. One of these practitioners is very enthusiastic in promoting this project among fellow practitioners in the area. The four of us make a perfect team, as we each make the best of our respective strengths and coordinate well with each other. Together we have enhanced our cultivation levels. We continue to receive truth-clarification materials from fellow practitioners outside of China. They have provided us with excellent resources for our project. During the process, the three practitioners who were previously technically challenged have made leaps and bounds in technology expertise. Some have even become well-versed enough to teach other fellow practitioners to start clarifying the truth over the Internet.

During the trials and errors of cultivation practice, we have all improved our xinxing levels. First, we have eliminated our fear. It used to be perceived impossible to clarify the truth from within China's Internet. We sometimes come across reports about fellow practitioners getting arrested for visiting Falun Gong websites that are banned by the CCP. We have also run into a myriad of interference that really exposed our fear. For example, we sometimes came across photos on the Internet that gave us chills. We sometimes felt that we had been added to the police black list, and needed to stop our work, or that evil factors from other dimensions were reinforcing our attachments and separating us by exploiting our loopholes. At times, we wondered if we should stop our efforts or continue on. When we managed to calm down, we determined that we were taking the right path. Now, when we run into interference or tests, we try to remember that as divine beings, we must create a path for the Fa with our righteous thoughts, we should have no fear, and that it is the evil factors that should fear us. We have been doing this project for nearly two years, and we no longer face such interference. Now that we have enhanced our cultivation levels, these evil factors can no longer reach us or were disintegrated by our righteous thoughts.

We have also eliminated our dependence on fellow practitioners outside of China. Falun Gong practitioners in China are no longer excluded from clarifying the truth about Falun Gong over the Internet. Practitioners in China should not overlook our abilities or responsibility. It is true that fellow practitioners outside of China have advantages in terms of convenience and safety, but the number of practitioners outside of China is small. Let's imagine what could happen if all practitioners capable of clarifying the truth over the Internet started doing so, and truth-clarification materials production sites blossomed all over China! The CCP would be unable to stop us. This is what the CCP fears the most. Fellow practitioners familiar with Internet technology should make themselves available to make this happen. While teaching technically challenged fellow practitioners, they should also address safety concerns. Those fellow practitioners who are technically challenged should not fear the challenge of learning technology or be too lazy to try and learn. Let's create a new path with strong righteous thoughts!
