There Are Chances to Validate the Fa under Any Circumstances

My son was going to get married and at first I did not plan to hold a wedding-feast. But at the insistence of my son and my husband, I finally agreed to and was also asked to make some kind of statement at the wedding feast. I thought that I would just let it be and take advantage of this opportunity to validate the Fa.

At the wedding feast I told my relatives and friends how good Falun Dafa is and asked them to remember, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” and “Falun Dafa is good.” I told them that Dafa would give them a good future. After my statement, those who were invited to attend the wedding feast had different reactions. Some of them felt excited and believed that Dafa is good; the others were startled; and still the others were worried about me. Different kinds of people showed various attitudes toward my words. Afterwards, there was even misunderstanding between my family and me. They complained that I dared to promote the Fa regardless of the occasion or place, and then paid no attention to me. My daughter said with anger, “You aren’t afraid that XX Party would come to give you a hard time?” Then I told her, “People should not be too selfish. You understand that Dafa is good. Why don’t you want to help more people to understand Dafa?”

Master said, “All beings have a side of them that’s aware, but they also have a side that’s unaware. A person’s human surface in this world, which coexists in this world alongside Dafa disciples, is exactly the part that’s unaware. And when it comes to that unaware part, as it fights to benefit itself in the human world postnatally, [the person’s] mind is filled with bad factors. And this is especially true in recent times, where humankind’s morality has declined drastically, and on top of that, the XX Party that’s appeared in China has caused the minds of the people in China to become twisted and warped, and they aren’t even able to tell what’s good and what’s bad. All of these things have severely affected the salvation of sentient beings, and they’ve made it hard for Dafa disciples to cultivate themselves and save sentient beings. But as Dafa disciples you can’t give up just because it’s hard, and that’s because this is a responsibility bestowed upon you by history, and it’s a magnificent, grand vow you made and something you’ve waited a long time for.” (Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Washington DC Fa Conference)

Human beings have a side of them that’s aware and a side of them that’s unaware. No matter how hard it is to offer salvation to sentient beings, we still have to fulfill the mission bestowed upon us by history. We should bear in mind Master’s words, “Just do whatever you should with compassion, regardless of whether they’re receptive or not.”

From this event I realise that if we practitioners are doing something now for Dafa with our righteous thoughts and righteous actions, everything will be arranged for us so that we can finish everything well. Finally I would like to encourage all my fellow practitioners with one of Master’s poems,

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

A Great Enlightened Being does not fear hardship
Having forged an adamantine will
And with no attachment to living or dying
He walks his path of Fa-rectification openly and nobly.
