Chinese Communist Party officials are a special group of people in society. They are in powerful positions and have more influence than ordinary people. My wife and I have spent a lot of effort talking to this particular group of people to persuade them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Among them are officials at various levels from provincial ministries to village officials. I would like to share some of our experiences and understandings.
1. Act with Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions, and with a Compassionate Heart
Once we realized that party officials are also sentient beings to be saved, we took action. The reason most of them joined the party is because they wanted to realize fame and self interest. There are very few die-hard party members. When we clarify the truth, and persuade them to quit the CPP, we use righteous thoughts, righteous actions, and a compassionate heart. We treat them as sentient beings instead of a special group. Once we clarify the truth thoroughly, it is not that hard to get them to quit the CCP.
In the summer of 2005, I went back to my hometown with my wife and son to talk to people about quitting the CCP. People we know there all know that our whole family practices Falun Gong and they also know that for the past several years, Falun Gong has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party. One day, we received a phone call from one of our old classmates who invited us to dinner. We accepted his invitation gladly. He was formerly the chief of the county's Public Security Bureau, and later on the Associate Party Secretary of the county. He knows a lot about the CCP. First, we sent forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil elements behind his whole family, then we went to the dinner with compassionate hearts. At the dinner table, my wife clarified the truth while my son and I sent forth righteous thoughts. Within minutes he understood. My wife asked him to pick a pen name to quit. He said, "No need. I will use my real name. There are thousands of such names in the country. What's there to be scared of?" He wrote down the names of everyone in his whole family and quit from all affiliations with the CCP. He then accepted the Nine Commentaries and other things from us.
2. Eliminating the Influence of the Party Culture
For decades, Chinese Communist Party officials have been affected by the party culture. When we talk to them, we focus on eliminating the elements of party culture. In the summer of 2005, we went to the village party secretary to persuade him to quit the CCP. He would not do it. Then I asked him, "Do you believe in gods?" He answered, "No." I told him a story. Jiang Zemin, the former head of the regime, has done so much evil that he was afraid of retribution, so he consulted a fengshui master who advised him to raise the height of the flagpole in Tiananmen Square from 22.5 to 32.6 meters. I also told him that all previous party chairmen had fortune tellers to advise them. I told him that the party leadership for the past several decades all believed in gods, but they spread atheism. They are just fooling people. He finally understood and agreed to quit the CCP.
3. Pointing out that the Collapse of the CCP is Eminent.
Many people believe that the CCP has a powerful military and the economy is going well, therefore no one can fight it. In October 2006, we were talking to some ministry level officials; this is how we rectified their misunderstanding.
When Emperor Qinshihuang united six states, he boasted of a powerful country that intimidated the surrounding states. However, at the height of his rule, someone sent him a prophecy that was fulfilled after he died. It said, "Qin (the country) will be lost in the hands of someone named Hu." It turned out that Qinshihuang's son, named Hu Hai, was responsible for the collapse of the country.
The Germany ruled by Hitler boasted of an economic growth rate of 50%. Hitler wanted to rule the whole world. But he failed. The Soviet Union was also a superpower that could once stand up to the United States, but in the end, it crumbled. The communist authoritarian system collapsed as well.
In the past fifty years of Chinese Communist Party rule, purges of dissidents were on-going. Eighty million people died of unnatural causes; the total is more than all those who died in the two world wars. The Chinese Communist Party has done too much evil and there are signs that it will collapse. In 2002, in Zhangbu Township, Pingtang County, Guizhou City, a rock was found with Chinese characters naturally formed on it that read "The Chinese Communist Party Will Perish." This is a warning from heaven. We must follow the wishes of the divine, which cannot be disobeyed.
After he heard what we told him, he wrote down the names in everyone in his family to quit the CCP and its affiliates.
Sharing with Practitioners Who are Unwilling to Clarify the Truth to Strangers
By Mei Gui, practitioner from Liaoning Province
I did not like to clarify the truth to strangers in the past. I only talked to people I knew and tried to persuade people to quit the CCP, but this was very slow. I could only persuade a dozen people in a month. I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts every day. I did the three things. I thought I had stepped forward, but at home I still watched TV and chatted about ordinary things. I was still full of an ordinary person's mentality. I became a bit indifferent. Sometimes, I was worried, but could not get more diligent. I knew this was not right.
With the assistance of fellow practitioners, I started to clarify the truth to strangers to persuade them to quit the CCP. I did it even when I was shopping or taking the bus. I took advantage of all opportunities. Sometimes, I partnered with another practitioner and found a quiet place to talk to one or two people. While one was talking, the other one sent forth righteous thoughts. We talked about the history of the CCP killing people, how they persecute Falun Gong, and how to quit the CCP to protect oneself. In the end, we asked them to remember Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. It worked very well. Every day, we help several people quit. In this way, our levels increased and our attachments decreased, and our ordinary people's mentalities decreased. We started to feel much better.
There might be other practitioners who like me who only talk to people they know to help them quit the CCP. There may be the attachment to fear interfering. We should harmonize what Master would like us to do and step forward to clarify the truth on a large scale and save more sentient beings.
The above is my personal understanding. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
