Smiling Along with Lotus Flowers

Since I began practicing Dafa in 1999 to the present, it has been over ten years. In the past ten years of cultivation, it was Teacher's compassionate care that has made it possible for me to be where I am today. From the promotion of Falun Dafa during that early peaceful period, to the Fa validation period afterwards, to presently doing the three things (clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, sending forth righteous thoughts and studying the Fa) and persuading sentient beings to withdraw from the CCP (Chinese communist party) affiliated organizations, there are countless touching stories. I want to talk about my experience of setting up a truth-clarification material production site.

In 2003, both my younger fellow practitioner at home and I came to the current city where we reside now. When we first arrived here, we only knew two other practitioners, one being young and the other being an elder. In 2004, the young practitioner was sentenced to a jail term after being arrested. Later, I got in touch with the elder practitioner. During that time, we exchanged our cultivation experiences and sent forth the righteous thoughts together. When I went to pick up some truth-clarification materials from that senior fellow practitioner, I never thought about how much hardship and danger he had gone through. I had a computer at home, but I never thought about visiting the Clearwisdom website or preparing some truth-clarification materials by myself. I always thought the responsibility for preparing truth-clarification materials belonged to those people who had higher education and I did not have too much education and did not know how to use a computer.

My attachment of relying on someone else let the old forces take advantage of me. When that senior practitioner was arrested by the CCP using the excuse of the Beijing Olympic Games, I lost contact with him. Without Teacher's new articles and truth-clarification materials that were produced by that practitioner, I felt very helpless, and tears ran down my face. I felt very sad. At that time, I began to realize how valuable those materials were. During those few days, I sent forth righteous thoughts for that senior practitioner.
Later, I calmed down, studied the Fa and looked inward. I noticed my attachment of relying on someone else, pursuing comfort, and being immersed in emotion towards that senior practitioner. I should not stay in that condition as I knew that our benevolent Teacher's disciple should not look like that.

I dried my tears and thought about Teacher's saying in Lun Yu: "To put it frankly, no matter how advanced a computer is, it is still no match for the human brain, which to this day remains an unfathomable enigma." (Zhuan Falun) Then I thought of reading a story about "From a Farmer's Hoe to a Computer Mouse." I decided to visit the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. Such a thought made me feel that Teacher had begun to give me wisdom. Under the condition that I knew nothing about computers, I took out a CD which I had not distributed yet. I opened it and noticed that it had the symbol of a pigeon. Under Teacher's guidance, I clicked the homepage of Dynaweb. Thus I began to see a whole new world. When I first opened the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, I saw the Dafa website setup by Falun Dafa practitioners, I saw Master Li's photo of quietly watching the world from amidst the mountains after leaving New York following July 20th, 1999. I became so excited that tears ran down my face. I held both hands together and said to Teacher: "Thank you, Teacher!"

Then what followed was the process of how to prepare truth-clarification materials. I had never done that before. How should I start? I began to realize how difficult it was. I sent an e-mail to a fellow practitioner among the Minghui Editors. Very quickly I received a reply which suggested that I read the article on "Establishing Materials Sites from Scratch - Practical Tech Manual for Materials Site." Thus, I installed the security system, firewall, download tools, and Lotus Proxy, a software that circumvents the CCP's Internet blockade. Gradually, I began to produce some truth-clarification materials. Looking at those copies of The Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party and the booklets, Minghui Weekly (both the magazine and the newspaper), Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD--all of these materials look like blooming lotus flowers. Both my younger fellow practitioner at home, and I smiled. Looking back, the past one year was just like a night passing by and it seemed that I became more capable within one night. I felt that it became so easy for those unbelievable things I originally thought would be so hard.

Teacher said,
"When disciples have ample righteous thoughts
Master has the power to turn back the tide"
(The Master-Disciple Bond, Hong Yin Volume II)

I knew all of these were done by the Teacher, and as Teacher said,
"Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master. " (Zhuan Falun)

My family truth-clarification materials production site has been set up and is running smoothly. The more materials that I produce, the more confident I am. This production site lets more and more people know the truth about Falun Gong, is saving more sentient beings, and is accomplishing the mission of assisting Teacher's Fa rectification. I would like to suggest that those fellow practitioners who have the right conditions to try your best to get online. You will feel regret if you lose this opportunity. We should completely negate all evil factors and follow the road arranged by our Teacher.
