(Clearwisdom.net) In the "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital," Teacher has revealed the Fa principles and the significance of clarifying the truth to the world's people and saving sentient beings. This made a deep impression on me and I enlightened to the urgency of saving people.
Starting with My Family Members
My husband has been deeply poisoned by the Communist Party Culture. He watches news programs produced by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) daily, and is even proud of understanding CCP political theories. As for the fact that my daughter and I practice Falun Gong, from the point of view of healing and keeping fit, he is not against us doing it. However, he could not accept most of the teachings of Dafa and he complained that we spent too much time studying the Fa, doing the exercises and engaging in other activities. He also did not understand why as cultivators, we are required to eliminate the attachment to fame, self-interest, and qing. He was totally confused because of the evil nature of the CCP.
My daughter and I realized that we must rectify our family environment first, and at the same time, we also have the responsibility of clarifying the truth to him. However, my husband didn't want to watch the truth-clarification DVDs, because that would have interfered with his watching sports programs and TV soaps. So when my daughter sent forth righteous thoughts, she asked Teacher to help her and stop the cable TV from working. Later, because she knew that her dad has the habit of taking an afternoon nap, she added another thought: After my dad finishes his afternoon nap, the cable TV should stop working.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, after my husband got up, he couldn't watch any of his programs. Right away, my daughter took out a truth-clarification DVD and said to him very nicely: "Dad, since you can't watch TV, let's watch this DVD for now, how about that?" My husband agreed, and finally, through watching this DVD, he got to learn the truth of the CCP's slander and persecution of Falun Gong.
Teacher mentioned that when we clarify the truth to people, we should talk to them according to their interests. My husband likes things that are scientific and mysterious, so my daughter and I sat down with him and watched programs that covered those kinds of topics, and he was very interested. He is also very interested in performing arts, so we watched the NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular together. I told him that people from overseas who watched this Spectacular felt completely changed after the show; they felt very pleasant and uplifted. After he finished watching the Spectacular, he said: "What interested me most was being able to see [tenor] Guan Guimin again." One time, when he had some free time, I recommended to him some articles from Disintegrating the Party's Culture. After he read a few, he said firmly, "Well written! Well done!" One time when he was chatting with a friend, he said, "There are some very talented people who practice Falun Gong."
During the summer of 2003, we traveled to Hainan Island in Guangdong Province, and the tour guide said that there were two ways to reach certain sightseeing spots. One was to go along the seashore, the other way was going through the cave. He also stressed that by following the second option, the scenes we would be seeing were unique and that this was also the path that Jiang Zemin had passed through, and that Jiang's footprints had been left there. I spoke out right away: "We don't want to repeat the path he covered." My husband also said, "What's such a big deal about that path he covered?" Therefore, passengers in the entire bus agreed that they didn't want to take that path.
Sometimes I deliver the "Minghui Weekly" and other Dafa materials to fellow practitioners, and when I didn't have enough time, my husband would give me a hand. Later I told him, "Our Teacher said that ordinary people who do things for Dafa will receive good fortune." In the summer of 2007, a practitioner came to my home and asked if I would like to have a satellite dish installed to receive NTDTV programs, and I said that I couldn't wait to have it installed. When we looked at my husband, he agreed right away and said to go ahead. I was thrilled. Therefore, from then on, we have been watching NTDTV programs every day. I understand that it was Teacher who had arranged everything; I must always remember what Teacher has done for us.
In 2006, I began to talk to my husband about withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. At the beginning, he considered it unnecessary, so I had to talk to him about this once in a while. I also helped him analyze the pros of quitting the Party. Ultimately he agreed to quit his membership in the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers, thus choosing a good future for himself. At the same time, our cultivation environment at home has become better and better. We can now study the Fa, do the exercises, send forth righteous thoughts, make Dafa truth-clarification materials in an open and dignified manner, and when practitioners come to our home, we share with them freely.
Mr. Zeng, who is a teacher, is a person who holds a prestigious position in our local area in the education field, and he used to be my teacher as well. After I became a teacher, he helped me selflessly. I admired his character and his knowledge. Also, because of his excellent performance, he was recruited as a CCP member. Now, I feel that the best way to give him something in return is to help him quit the Party. When I clarified the truth to him and talked to him about quitting the CCP, at first, he was very surprised and said to me seriously: "I need to think it over." In addition, he also said that he never believed in the existence of gods or Buddha, and therefore he found it hard to believe us when we said, "If people do not punish it [the CCP], then heaven will," and, "Heaven and earth will eliminate the CCP."
Soon after that, Zeng got trapped into a scam by a person who claimed that he was his student, and that person cheated him almost out of his entire life savings. Zeng was crushed and didn't dare to share this story with his family, so he called me and talked to me about it. I went to his home again, and after I comforted him for a while, I clarified the truth to him again. He was still concerned about facing his bosses and coworkers if he quit the Party, and wondered about how to deal with matters such as handing in the Party dues and joining CCP committee activities. I told him that gods and Buddha only looked at a person's heart, what you do on the surface does not count. I said that currently it's no problem if you continue to submit Party dues, as long as you were willing to quit the Party from deep inside. Only by quitting the Party, can you make sure that you have a future. Therefore, he finally agreed to quit the Party right away, and felt a great sense of relief after that. Before I left his home, Zeng asked me to drop by his home more often.
Our Family Members All Have a Predestined Relationship With Us
During the national holiday, there were suddenly a few alumni parties (we normally only have one every year) taking place. In addition, my relatives gave a couple of parties to celebrate their moving to a new place. I understood that these things didn't happen accidentally, and that it was Teacher who arranged those opportunities for us to save people. Moreover, lately when I study the Fa with all my heart, I look forward to more opportunities where I have contact with ordinary people in order to save them. Teacher has seen my heart, and therefore he arranged those opportunities for me. When I think about this, my heart is full of happiness and I have lots of confidence.
At my relative's party, I clarified the truth to my niece's husband. I talked to him about the fact that the CCP had committed tremendous crimes, such that it would be punished by heaven and great calamities would happen to people. I said to him: "I have talked to all of my relatives except you. If this kind of thing happens in the future, you would blame me if I had not talked to you. I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't tell you the facts." Finally, he agreed to quit the Party. I also clarified the truth to my other relatives again.
Saving People Should Not Be Limited to the People I Know
In terms of our clarifying the truth, it should not be limited only to our relatives, friends or acquaintances. Therefore, I try my best to clarify the truth to people whom I come into contact with. I talk to cab drivers, cashiers in stores, staff members, or whoever I run into. I have left truth-clarification materials and copies of the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" in hotel rooms, in bookstores, and in mailboxes in residential districts. I believe that people who have a predestined relationship will learn the truth and be saved. We are trying to save those divine beings who had great courage to come down to this world in order to obtain the Fa.
