Always Look at People with Loving-Kindness, Trying Not to Miss Anyone

This winter there was an incident which forced me to take a new look at our everyday efforts to let more of the general public learn about Falun Gong and the atrocities of the persecution. One time during practise, while others practitioners were performing the exercises, I handed out leaflets to the passers-by. At that time, I had a rather strong manifestation of sickness karma; a sore throat and a fever. I tried to reject any incorrect thoughts, and continued handing out the leaflets, but it didn’t go well. In the distance I could see an old woman who had stopped opposite our poster. She attentively looked at the poster which bore the characteristics of Falun Gong, ‘Truthfulness- Compassion- Forbearance’. She was so old that she seemed too weak to stand, yet she stood at the poster for a good while and did not leave.

At that moment I had the thought that it was necessary to go and give her a leaflet. But, she had already turned and slowly went away. Unfortunately, I felt too lazy to run so far and moreover I was feeling ill.

I continued to hand out leaflets to the passers-by, when I suddenly saw the elderly woman again. She was standing in the middle of the sidewalk, not moving, with her back towards me, approximately 100 meters away from where we were practising. At first I was surprised thinking to myself, “Why is she standing in the middle of the sidewalk and not going anywhere. Maybe she has lost her way, or has forgotten something”. Nevertheless, it seemed very strange to see her standing there for so long.

But then suddenly I was blessed - she was indeed waiting for me! She was waiting for me to rescue her, you see I had already promised to rescue her once, but due to a moment of weakness I couldn’t do it. I thanked Master in spirit for directing me and having hastened me to the woman. When I came up to her and reached out my hand to give her a pamphlet, she looked at me with such kindness and gratitude that I became teary eyed. She warmly thanked me and took the pamphlet. She neatly folded it, put it in her bag and went on her way with a smile.

I understood so much in those few moments. All sentient beings came for the sake of the Fa (principles taught in Falun Gong) and all of them put their hopes in us, the Falun Dafa practitioners. It is simply not possible to miss anybody who can be rescued nor is it possible to give into moments of weakness, feelings or our notions only to miss chances. This case has reminded me that it is necessary to consider any situation from the Fa’s perspective, from a position of rescuing all sentient beings and using each chance to tell to people about Falun Dafa. It is also our main mission.
I want to finish my short experience sharing with Master’s words from “Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World’s People”

“For a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, personal liberation is not the goal of cultivation: when you came, saving sentient beings was your great aspiration, and that is the responsibility and mission history has bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification. Thus great numbers of beings are to be saved by you. Dafa disciples, don’t forsake the magnificent responsibility that has been bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification, and even less should you disappoint those beings, as you are now their only hope for entering the future.”

Written above, is only my limited understanding at my given level. Please, with mercy specify any discrepancies.

Thank you all.
