(Minghui.org) I felt inspired and encouraged after reading other practitioners’ experiences on the Minghui.org website. As Falun Dafa practitioners, we should not hide in our homes during this pandemic like everyday people.

Because of the lockdown, there are few pedestrians on China's streets but there are many police cars. People wearing red armbands can be seen everywhere. Everyone is afraid of dying and practitioners feel the urgency of saving them. I realized I had to change the way I clarified the truth

Instead of being affected by the chaos, we should calm down and remember what Master Li Hongzhi said:

“What's important for cultivators is righteous thoughts. When you have strong righteous thoughts, you are able to withstand anything and do anything. That's because you are a cultivator: someone who is on a divine path and who is not controlled by the factors of ordinary people or low-level principles.” (Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles)

I try to do something every day to save the people in my community. When I'm able to go out, I tell everyone I meet, “It’s great to see you. Please stay healthy.” Those with predestined relationships reply to my greeting.

I quickly tell them, “Many people feel they've been blessed and have kept safe by saying, ‘Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good!'”

As we chat, I tell them how millions of Chinese have already withdrawn from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and its affiliated organizations. I point out that since they're still part of the CCP, they may be held responsible for its crimes.

Reminding People of China's True Cultural Beliefs

The other day I talked to a man who said that he didn’t believe in anything. I said, “You say you don’t believe in anything. China's traditional culture taught people to be kind. Our ancestors knew that heaven is watching our every word and deed. There's an old saying: 'Good is rewarded and evil is punished.’”

He said, “You're right! This virus is infecting many families.” I told him, “Falun Dafa practitioners follow the guiding principles of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance, which are the principles of the universe. We strive to be kind and altruistic.”

When I told him that hundreds of millions of Chinese have already withdrawn from the Party to avoid going down with it, he said, “I’m a member of the CCP. I'd like to quit it.”

Before we parted, I asked him to remember, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance is good!” to stay healthy and safe.

Master arranges for me to meet people every time I go out and I clarify the truth to them. I am able to help ten or more withdraw from the CCP each time I go out. I thank Master for giving me the wisdom to know what to say.

When I went out to buy snacks for my family I shared some with the people guarding the street entrances. When I clarified the truth to them, one lady said that they were volunteers and were very tired. I sympathized with her. After I told her about Falun Dafa and the persecution, she agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Every time I go out I send the strong thought: “Master, please strengthen me! I'm going out to save people and no one is allowed to interfere!”

Things usually go well. One day when I wasn't able to talk to anyone I examined myself. I found many human notions and attachments I hadn't noticed, such as zealotry, laziness, selfishness, a lack of a sense of urgency to save people, and a failure to manage my time well. I immediately eliminated these bad habits, my notions, and these attachments.

I strictly look inward during conflicts. I keep reminding myself to think of others first. When I talk to the police, I tell them that Falun Dafa practitioners are trying to help people. I ask them to remember, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance is good!” to keep safe and healthy. I also advise them to withdraw from the CCP.

Master told us that every person reincarnated during this special time is here to be saved by the Fa. They've been deceived by the CCP and many don’t want to listen to the truth. As Falun Dafa practitioners, how can we not fulfill our mission and save them?

Because of the pandemic I have a deeper understanding of what Master said, “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)

I'm grateful that Master gave us these Fa teachings and arranged my cultivation path! I deeply realize how extraordinary and wonderful what Master said is,

“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth, ushering in springRighteous thoughts can save the people in this world” (“The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos,” Hong Yin Vol.II, Translation Version B)

Staying on Track

During this unique time, it's difficult for practitioners to meet face to face. We must cultivate ourselves even more diligently and believe in Master and the Fa. I hope that more practitioners can let go of selfishness as soon as possible and go out to save more people.

I make sure I do all five exercises and send forth righteous thoughts at the four times plus one or two additional times. Sometimes I send righteous thoughts for half an hour to eliminate my human notions and attachments, selfish thoughts, and any negative factors in my own dimension.

I study the Fa every day, including one lecture of Zhuan Falun. I also recite one article from Essentials for Further Advancement or recite poems from Hong Yin

Let us improve and advance together.
