(Clearwisdom.net) Spring has arrived and all things are rejuvenating. These days the weather is very pleasant, and people are doing more things outdoors. Especially in the villages and townships, in the streets, alleys and the market square, you can see many of the villagers out and about. A fellow practitioner and I rode our motorcycle into the villages on the Chinese New Year holidays to clarify the truth.
Whenever we met someone, we would strike up a conversation by first asking for directions. Then we would ask how many years of schooling the person had and if he or she had ever joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or any of its affiliated organizations. We would give them a little booklet about renouncing their CCP membership and then clarify the truth to them. The villagers were mostly very down to earth and kindhearted. They were able to readily accept what we said. Sometimes they thanked us profusely. Some asked us to stay for lunch. There was one old man who had stepped out of the senior home to take a walk. After listening to us clarify the facts, he was very delighted and shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!"
There is a small number of people who cannot accept the truth. Some did not even bother to listen. Some rejected us, and some even claimed that they would report us to the authorities. The husband of the head of a women's organization listened to us clarify the truth very intently. His wife also came over to listen. The moment she knew that we were Falun Gong practitioners, she immediately chased us away. She said that if we did not go, she would report us to the authorities. We were not moved by her. In the end we managed to convince her husband to renounce his CCP membership.
Between January 7 and January 17, 2009, we went out for a total of nine days. We persuaded a total of 175 people to renounce their CCP membership.
I realized that, during the process of clarifying the truth, we had unconsciously eliminated the human attachments that were difficult to eliminate. In the past when I stayed at home, I tried to rid myself of my many attachments but was unsuccessful. With that basic selfishness and because I cooped myself up in my own little world, it was difficult to get rid of these attachments. When I placed myself in true cultivation during the Fa-rectification period, everything just went along smoothly.
When I really let go of self and walked out the door, I realized that offering salvation to people is really not so difficult. Most of the time, once you start, the more you want to go on and the brighter your heart becomes. Master has given us all the divine tools and powers to offer salvation to others. All has been arranged by Master. If we follow Master's instructions and requirements, we will surely do well.
In my county, the villages and townships are vast and spaced far apart. The population is huge, but practitioners are few and dispersed. The villagers often get truth clarifying fliers, but they seldom get fliers that encourage them to renounce their CCP membership. There are many kindhearted and down to earth villagers in need of city dwelling practitioners to go to the villages to offer them salvation. We will do better in this regard.
