The three things that Teacher asks the disciples to do have become the main focus of my life. Clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution, in order to save sentient beings, is the main subject of all my social activities. Therefore, all my activities in society have become very interesting and varied as I assist in the truth-clarification.
Teacher said in the lecture, Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Atlanta Fa Conference:
"Embed saving living beings into every single thing in your present daily life. If you can all understand and really see its importance, I think you'll probably save more living beings. Now the world's people are gradually becoming more clearheaded, and the impact of clarifying the truth right now is even greater. The audience those evil beings have is getting smaller and smaller, so you must understand this issue soberly."
During the past several years of validating Dafa, I have been preparing and distributing printed truth-clarification materials as well as clarifying the truth to people face to face. I know clearly that I am a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple. As for every requirement and standard that Teacher mentions in each lecture, I unconditionally remember them all in my heart and implement them into practice solidly. Every arrangement of mine is based on validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. Clarifying the truth has already melded completely into my life. Good methods to save sentient beings often spring up in my mind.
In preparing the truth-clarification materials, I concentrate on four subjects: 1) the wonderfulness that Dafa brings to people; 2) the grand spread of Dafa worldwide; 3) the deceits and tricks of Jiang's evil regime and their savagery in persecuting the practitioners; and 4) the news that Jiang and his followers are being sued in the courts of law throughout the world. I modify the contents as necessary, according to the feedback I receive, and according to the degree that people are able to accept.
I have many different kinds of truth-clarification materials, such as fliers, brochures, and a variety of greeting cards. I mix them and put them into gift bags. I am ready at any moment to fulfil my mission to save sentient beings.
Our cultivation is conducted in ordinary society. Every practitioner is involved in certain social activities. I take every opportunity to clarify the truth.
In the morning, there are many food stands set up on the streets around my home that sell different kinds of breakfasts. The vendors are all people to whom I clarify the truth. Whenever I find that there is a new vendor, I make a mental note and send a gift bag with the truth-clarification materials to the newcomer. Eventually everyone comes to know the truth.
Whenever I stop in front of a peddler to buy something, I clarify the truth to them. I often visit those street vendors. The truth-clarification materials they receive are then spread to others, from one to another and from one heart to another heart. The feedback keeps coming in and I keep updating the materials according to the feedback.
I also often visit the nearby farmers' markets and wholesale markets. I go there with the truth-clarification materials to give to people who are eager to know the truth; I come back with fresh vegetables and fruits, and am filled with happiness for the sentient beings who have come to know the truth.
There are several department stores near my home and many street peddlers who repair bicycles, make keys, or offer deliveries and rides with tricycles. Of course they all get to know the truth from me.
Several staff members working in the local community office also have gotten to know the facts from me to some degree. Therefore, I can freely do whatever I want to do. My neighbours all know that I practice Falun Dafa. In the summer, I plant several kinds of vegetables in front of my house. Whenever I walk into my garden, there are always some people with pre-destined relationships coming by to say hello to me. Handing over a bundle of fresh vegetables, the truth continuously comes out during our cheerful conversation.
Because there are often street peddlers in front of my house to collect waste materials or to sell cooking seasonings, I put waste materials aside whenever I clean the house and write down the seasonings that I need to buy for cooking. When the peddlers and vendors show up, I just open the window and call out. Everyone also gets a gift bag of the truth-clarification materials, as well as my business, and they come to know the truth in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Now it has gotten so I don't even need to go out of my home. The vendors directly send the items I need through my open window. My window remains happily open for all the sentient beings to know the truth.
Whenever a friend of mine comes to visit, I give them a warm welcome. We sit on the sofa, relax, and talk about Falun Dafa. One time, the police arrested two practitioners. Some friends immediately called to inform me; some came to tell me in person at work. I really feel grateful on their behalf, that they have made the right choices after learning the truth.
During the holidays when I go back to my hometown, I do not miss the opportunities to clarify the truth to my relatives. Playing the truth-clarification CD, clarifying the truth, giving out the gift bags of the truth-clarification materials, I spend the holiday with the theme of clarifying the truth. The holiday becomes unusually lively and with a healthy atmosphere.
I welcome any relatives who visit me, and clarify the truth to them. I know the future of sentient beings is the most important thing, and that time is urgent. "So a Dafa disciple's responsibilities aren't for the sake of personal Consummation, but to save sentient beings while validating the Fa -- that is a Dafa disciple's historic mission, and that is why Dafa disciples are truly magnificent." [From the lecture, Touring North America to Teach the Fa]. Master has given me the best. I am most fortunate to have become a Dafa practitioner. And those who learn the truth of Dafa from me are very lucky as well. There is no reason for me not to speak out.
When I began to clarify the truth at the beginning, I tried to find those who looked kindly, and I would go to places far from my home. I would observe the surroundings and think about how to deal with any sudden situations. Now I've become more mature in the Fa-rectification. My selfishness has been broken through layer by layer. I clearly know that Dafa practitioners hold the leading roles in this important play. When clarifying the truth is fully incorporated into every aspect of my life, I truly feel the freedom and the unselfishness of a Fa particle dissolving into the Fa. It is only when I truly reach this stage that the boundless wisdom of the Fa, the extraordinary energy, the power of the righteous thoughts and the diamond-like, solid dignity of Dafa become manifest in me.
Finally, I would like to encourage my fellow practitioners with the words of Master:
"You need to know that clarifying the truth is extremely important for Dafa disciples. You aren't just doing personal cultivation -- your own cultivation is saving the beings in the gigantic cosmic bodies that you represent. When you clarify the truth you are saving even more and even larger additional cosmic bodies and the beings in those cosmic bodies, because this is the responsibility Dafa and history have bestowed upon you."
