(Minghui.org) During the outbreak of the Wuhan virus, our region was ordered to lock down. Communities, subdivisions, and even some roads were closed; no gatherings of friends and relatives were allowed. The lockdown brought many difficulties for our practitioners, because they wanted to talk to people about Falun Gong and the persecution. Our fellow practitioners discussed the situation, then coordinated with each other. They rode motorcycles to the rural areas where they distributed fliers about Falun Gong if the village was not locked down, and hung up banners and post posters around the village if the village was locked down.
There are several dozen buildings in the community where I live. The residents could not go to work and stayed at home. I thought, “They must be waiting for a life-saving prescription!”
Before the lockdown, with the excuse that this community had received materials telling about Falun Gong and the persecution before, and with the mentality of self-protection, our practitioners had avoided distributing materials in this community. I thought, “Are our practitioners living in the same community, same subdivisions, or same building with ordinary people only for the purpose of ordinary life? Ordinary people can live with Dafa practitioners; isn’t it a predestined arrangement for them to be offered salvation? We must fulfill our mission; we must let go of our selfishness to save more people.”
A few days later, a practitioner came to my home and said, “I have two boxes of fliers left and I can’t distribute them. Can I give them to you?” My wife (also a practitioner) and I agreed. When the fliers were brought to my home, they were many boxes, many more than two boxes. I had a feeling that we had no place to hold them. Yet, we took all of them without hesitating, and thanked Master for the arrangement.
My wife and I distributed the fliers one building after another in the community. While distributing them, we did have some ordinary thoughts come to mind. We suppressed and eliminated these ordinary thoughts with righteous thoughts. For example, I met a person smoking at his door while I was distributing the fliers, I held the thought that he was waiting for the material and greeted him. He asked me, “What are you doing?” I told him, “I am giving you a prescription to avoid the plague.” He accepted the flier happily and thanked me, and then immediately went back home. There were also people who opened their doors when I was distributing the fliers at their doors, they asked, “What are you delivering?” I keptrighteous thoughts and said, “I am delivering blessings.” They took the fliers and thanked me. Once, a person chased behind me and shouted, “What are you doing?” I said, “I am delivering safety and peace.” He said, “Give me one!”
Another time, after 11 p.m., when I had just reached the top floor of the building, someone came in the building. I thought I would start distributing after he went into his room. However, he went all the way up to the top floor. Holding righteous thoughts, I greeted him. He asked “Are you …?” Before he finished his question, I said, “I’m delivering a prescription for your peace and well being.” He happily took a copy and thanked me. I then continued to distribute the fliers downwards floor by floor.
There were many surveillance cameras and guards in the communities. We held righteous thoughts to reject the monitoring and dealt with the situation with wisdom. For example, we often spent more time distributing fliers when it rained. We distributed the materials in almost all the buildings in the community, except the buildings with their entrance doors were locked.
The night after we finished distributing fliers, I had a dream that I remember clearly. In the dream I lived with many ordinary people in a huge shed-like house. I found that the house was in danger and about to collapse. I ran around in the house and shouted to the people anxiously, “Get out of the house! The house is dangerous and about to collapse!” However, the people laughed at me and said, “The house is good, nothing will happen.” Some people looked, but no one went out. I ran out alone and kept shouting, “Come out! The house is going to fall! It’s dangerous!”
People came out one after another. We all witnessed the house collapsing slowly. The people then cheered happily for surviving the disaster. Even the little animals ran around happily.
After waking up from the dream, I replayed the dream in mind; I kept thinking, “It was so real, is it only a dream?” My mind was filled with gratitude toward Master and relief after a wish fulfilled, the feeling was really beyond words. All thatwe have achieved would not happen without Master’s guidance, strengthening, and protection. When we hold righteous thoughts and offer salvation to people with a sincere heart, Master will help us, and miracles will happen.
However, my fear and laziness has at times resulted in losses instead of saving lives. With the limited time left, I will study the Fa more diligently, discard attachments, maintain righteous thoughts, and strive to save more people.
