(Clearwisdom.net) When I clarified the truth face-to-face to my co-workers, some of them listened because they wanted to be polite even through they were afraid, some made excuses and left, and some whom the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had deeply brainwashed argued with me and supported the CCP, even though they knew that the persecution of Falun Gong is wrong.
I knew that they dislike and hate the CCP from the bottom of their hearts, because the CCP had lied to them so much over the years, but they could do nothing about it. They want the CCP to be destroyed but fear that quitting the CCP might affect their personal lives, such as losing their jobs, their own and their family's personal freedom, and perhaps loss of their lives. If they lived in a peaceful and just environment, they would have a choice - give up CCP membership and support Falun Gong. They have witnessed the sincerity, kindness and long-suffering of Falun Gong practitioners. They respect the practitioners. Nevertheless, the CCP's long-term brainwashing and mind poisoning makes some of them immune to the persecution. Echoing the CCP's doctrines, some unintentionally committed crimes against the universal law, and some have betrayed Falun Gong practitioners for their own, short-term advantage.
Confronting those sentient beings who have high hopes in the righteous Fa and who once believed that Dafa could save them, my heart ached. They put themselves at risk and came to the human world to obtain the Fa; but they became confused and lost in the human world. My heart ached for them! But I did not give up on them. I explained the facts to them more than once - many times, in fact. I tried untying the knots in their thinking, using different approaches with different people and spoke of eliminating the CCP culture and the prejudice against Falun Gong from their minds. It might take five to ten minutes, or one to two hours. Whenever the opportunity arose, I would explain the facts wisely and attempt to offer them salvation.
At work I remind myself that I am Falun Gong practitioner, and ought to do things according to "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance." I tell myself, "Don't get excited for an award; don't be concerned with gain or loss; admit a mistake and try to fix it." My co-workers are impressed and sense that Falun Gong practitioners are good, which they have seen by the facts. I have used my conduct to explain Dafa and have thus created a solid base for offering sentient beings salvation.
I am thinking of a specific co-worker. I had clarified the truth to her more than a dozen times. I did what I could, but she was still afraid; afraid that the CCP might punish her and she might not be safe, or afraid that she would lose her job. I looked inward then and corrected my attachments to disappointment, to my self-esteem and desire to complete a quota. I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in other dimensions behind her that were preventing her from being saved. I thought, "As long as the Fa-rectification is not over, I still have a chance to offer her salvation." At that moment my mind was so empty, so big and full of compassion. She suddenly woke up and said, "Please help me to withdraw from the CCP. I have wanted to do it for a long time." I was calm and knew that Master and Dafa had saved her. I had only done the job I had promised to do, to assist Master in the human world.
Yes, as long as the Fa-rectification is not ended there is always an opportunity. Dafa practitioners will be there to offer people salvation. My fellow practitioners: please get rid of human attachments and with the power of your righteous thoughts and the aid of Master's compassion, offer more sentient beings salvation.
This is my personal understanding of the Fa. Please, kindly help me understand any shortcomings I may have.
