(Clearwisdom.net) I have been clarifying the truth and persuading people to withdraw from the Communist Party for many years. However, other than a few friends and relatives, basically, I have only managed to get a few strangers to quit the Party. Every time I try to persuade someone to renounce their Party membership, I talk to them at length citing many examples from history and current affairs. In the end, I become exhausted, yet the other party does not take the initiative to express a desire to withdraw. Therefore, for a long time, I thought I was not good at clarifying the truth.
Many practitioners have written articles sharing their experiences in persuading people to quit the Party. There is always a section in the article where the practitioner says: "I will come up with an alias, so you can use that to renounce the Party." The other person would either nod or assent to it tacitly and the practitioner would then assist him or her to quit the Party. Every time I read this section, I disagreed in my heart. I felt that the other person had to openly express the intention to quit, otherwise, it was not a valid withdrawal. However, I seldom met anyone who would say that they wanted to quit the Party even though I clarified the truth thoroughly from various perspectives. I was very disappointed with myself. At the same time, I also comforted myself by saying that it was their choice. I had already tried my best and fulfilled my responsibility even if they decided not to withdraw. Later on, I stopped trying to persuade people to quit the Party altogether. I only briefly touched upon the truth about the Tiananmen Square staged self-immolation.
However, I kept pondering the matter. My approach was different from other practitioners. Why did we have different results? I reflected within on many occasions. One day, I suddenly understood. I discovered that I had an attachment and it was deep within my heart. I had not truly felt responsible for sentient beings, which was the fundamental reason preventing me from successfully getting people to quit the Party.
If I sincerely took responsibility for a person, I would definitely not be moved by whatever response they have on the surface. I would try my best to save them. If this method didn't work, I would switch to another method until I found an approach that they could accept. When they did not take the initiative to verbally agree to quit the Party, why didn't I offer to assist them in declaring their withdrawal instead? Why didn't I take another step forward? Why did I have to insist that an everyday person who is waiting to be saved take this step instead?
On the surface, the difference between my approach and that of other practitioners lay in whether the other party took the initiative to quit the Party. In reality, I was simply carrying out a task, not saving people. That is, I was just doing things perfunctorily. Only when I truly feel responsible for the lives of sentient beings am I able to possess a greater compassion and capacity to save others, clarify the truth and persuade them to renounce the Party.
Not long after I discovered my problem, I successfully helped a stranger to quit the Party using an alias. He himself was very willing to do so. Finally, I understand that compassion embodies the connotation of being truly responsible for the lives of sentient beings. Thus, I should ask myself if I am truly responsible for others, for sentient beings and for Dafa when I encounter difficult situations.
The above is what I have recently enlightened to. Please kindly point out if there is anything inappropriate.
