Taking Down Propaganda Display Boards in Beijing

(Minghui.org) I am a practitioner who began to practice Falun Dafa in 1997. Our daughter worked in Beijing between 2011 and 2018. We decided to move there and help her when she was pregnant. My thought was that cultivation is the same for a practitioner wherever he is-- just do the three things well.

Master said: “The paths of cultivation are varied …” (“Unimpeded,” Hong Yin II).

Thus, being in Beijing might just be the path I need to take. Every day I passed by supermarkets, parks, and buildings, and saw people relaxing on the benches scattered around. So I stopped to clarify the truth to them, which was quite effective.

Emitting Black Smoke: Impeding People from Hearing the Truth

I also saw display boards in community districts, parks, squares, and between buildings. They broadcast false propaganda about Falun Gong in this dimension, and emitted black smoke in another dimension, restraining sentient beings from hearing about Dafa. Almost every community district near where I lived had them. I thought I must get rid of them.

I first decided to deal with a banner that was next to a large circular field across from a supermarket. The diameter of the field is over 300 feet. Many people rested or played there. The banner was posted next to a restroom on a 1.5 feet tall by 13 feet long steel plate. It was up 10 feet high with two supporting posts on either side. The banner I tried to pull down read, “Avoid the Cult.” But it was too sturdy and heavy.

I went back to the field the next day with a pair of scissors. I asked Master to keep the weather hot so no one would be on the field. I sat there and sent forth righteous thoughts. Everyone left except for a 20-year-old man. He was skating about 65 feet away. I could not wait any longer, since more people might come.

I had no fear whatsoever, and my mind was calm. All I wanted was to get rid of the banner. With righteous thoughts, I pulled out my scissors, and went directly to the word “Cult” and cut it. It made a huge noise when the canvas split, and it scared me and the young guy. I saw that he was ready to walk over. I stared at him fixedly. Miraculously, he lowered his head and resumed skating, as though nothing happened. I quickly finished my job and cut out the word “Cult,” rolled up the banner, and threw it into a garbage can. Thank you, Master for helping me.

Tackling a Sports Field With Propaganda Display Boards

I moved on to a sports field in another district. There were many basketball hoops on one side of the field and areas for soccer and various sports on the other side. All of it was fenced off. There was a large display board, about 6 feet long and 3 feet tall, which was set about 10 feet high above a long bench. I had previously checked it out. I got there at noon, sent forth righteous thoughts to clear the field, and ask for Master’s help for warm weather. The weather indeed was very hot, but there were still some people playing basketball 100 feet away. They would not leave.

I could not wait any longer. So I went up, pulled the board down, and bent it. It made a big bang and broke in half. The ballplayers were startled and looked in my direction, but I was too far away for them to see clearly. I bent the plywood board again and broke it into four pieces. Then I walked away. A middle-aged man walked toward me from the basketball field. I walked up to him while staring at him. He quickly turned around and disappeared. I felt it went well, and went out to clarify the truth in the afternoon.

As Master said: “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Chapter One, Zhuan Falun)

Breaking Boards Into Pieces

The next year, similar display boards were up again in the same place. A neighboring community had also put up a similar one next to a street. It was on a busy street next to a mail box with many pedestrians around. I wondered what to do. The weather was not as hot as before, and my family would not let me go out at night. I enlightened that Master would help me as long as I wanted to eliminate them.

One night, my wife and I went to our daughter’s place. I was returning home alone, while my wife was staying there overnight. On my way home, I suddenly thought about the display boards, and went straight toward one spot. Many people were there holding umbrellas in the rain. I strolled around with them.

The number of people there diminished around 9:00 p.m. So I began to act. I quickly took down the board and broke it into four pieces. Then I went to another community and broke that board as well. It was about 10:00 p.m. when I got home. I called my daughter and told her I was home. She criticized me for being late and causing her to worry. It turned out that she had called a fellow practitioner to ask where I was. The fellow practitioner sent forth righteous thoughts for me. How wonderful!

Removing Boards from Display Cases

When I went to that area for the third time, there were no display boards there. But, they did put posters defaming Dafa inside a display case, with other posters asking people to report the person who had destroyed the previous boards. Since no one was around, I opened the latch and pulled out the large posters inside it, and threw them away.

All in all, I cleared away four paper posters and seven large printed boards. Every day I spent half a day studying Dafa and half a day clarifying the truth.

I believe that as long as we put Dafa first in our hearts and do not have any attachment, all of us can do things well. As Dafa practitioners in the Fa-rectification period, we just need to put down our human attachments and selfishness, and do the three things well. We will then be able to live up to Master’s requirements and the hope of sentient beings.
