(Minghui.org) Certain areas in my city were under lockdown in October 2022. Because my husband’s brother visited us from Xinjiang, the authorities in our residential community notified us that our whole family was required to stay at home for 15 days. They installed a security camera at our door, trying to deter us from leaving our home. I realized that the old forces were trying to stop my daily activity of clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to people.
I planned to take the opportunity of taking out the trash to walk the streets, but my family forced me to stay home when they noticed the truth-clarifying fliers I had with me. I made up my mind not to follow the old forces’ arrangement. I begged Master for reinforcement and courage and had a firm thought that the camera wouldn’t be able to capture my image.
It rained all day. I left my home around 3 a.m. the next morning. The rain stopped when I arrived at a fellow practitioner’s home in my neighborhood. We studied the Fa, did the exercises, and went out as usual to clarify the truth. I denied the old force’s arrangement with concrete actions, and didn’t face any trouble from the authorities.
Our entire region entered lockdown in December 2022. The neighborhood where my fellow practitioner and I live was under the strictest control due to the number of COVID cases in our community. We were anxious about clarifying the truth.
Master has taught us,
“Nothing should be able to affect you, no matter what strata of society you are part of, and no amount of upheaval in this world should be able to alter your mission as a Dafa disciple.” (“To the 2021 Dafa Conference in Taiwan”)
I realized that the old forces had used the pandemic to block people from hearing the truth, but we had a genuine wish to clarify the truth and offer salvation to the people. One day, I accidentally heard that a small door in the back of our neighborhood was open. My fellow practitioner checked at night and confirmed. We took a big bag of calendars with Falun Gong information and went out at night. We asked Master to send people our way. Amazingly, we met many people every night. We gave each one of them a calendar and helped at least a dozen people quit the Communist organizations every day.
No words can describe the feeling I had during those days. Despite my various attachments, I had a clear goal of walking the journey Master had arranged for me no matter what happened. I was determined to do the three things well and never stop on my path of saving more people.
We returned late one night and found the small door locked. There was no way to get back home. As we strolled outside of our neighborhood aimlessly, we were thrilled to find a hole in the fence, and there was barely enough space for our electrical tricycle to get through. We were thankful for Master’s help. We continued to use the broken fence to get in and out since then and never stopped one day. Our truth-clarification worked out well.
I have learned from my cultivation experience that the only way to keep up with the pace of the Fa-rectification is to see through any trap set by the old force despite the various illogical instances it has created in our society and families, and always keep our mission in mind.
