Some Thoughts after Talking to a Store Owner

I went to an office supply store near a school one day at around noon, and I talked to the owner after buying a few things. I asked him directly if he had heard about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and told him that over 60 million people in Mainland China have done so. He told me that he'd already quit, and I was very happy for him.

Through our conversation, I learned that he often receives paper currency with truth-clarification messages written on them. Many of the messages are related to quitting the CCP. He said, "In recent years we have received that message on all kinds of bills. The messages were printed clearly and easy to read. I thought that since people put a lot of effort into printing the messages on the bills, I should circulate them out quickly. So I use them to buy supplies and cell phone minutes. They leave my hands quickly."

I told him, "Doing that helps more people know about quitting the CCP. It's a good thing
for people to quit the CCP like you did. It brings good fortune and virtue." He smiled and nodded, "I learned about quitting the CCP from messages written on paper currency, but it was only after I read those booklets that I understood the real meaning of quitting the CCP, and why it is urgent for people to do so. After I read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, I understood the profound meaning of quitting the CCP. The CCP is an evil spirit which is on the way to destroying China as a nation, and destroying traditional Chinese culture. If you don't quit the CCP, you will be buried along with the CCP. I did not know this before. But I know it now, and I did not miss this opportunity to quit the CCP. I know that quitting the CCP is really being responsible for myself."

Later he told me about how he quit the CCP. He said that one thing touched him greatly. One day he received a phone call from overseas at home, and it was related to quitting the CCP. The other person was very calm and compassionate.

He said, "My heart was moved after hearing this. I knew that Falun Gong practitioners spoke the truth. They try to save people and what they want is the well-being of others, so I quit the CCP right away. Later I persuaded my family members and they quit the CCP too."

He said, "We often receive truth-clarification material about Falun Gong at the store. I learned that Falun Gong is welcomed throughout the world, including in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Only in China has Falun Gong been persecuted. Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance has been spread to many countries in the world. It is clear who is right and who is wrong. I learned a lot through reading that material."

Finally he said that Falun Gong is pure and noble, and that Falun Gong practitioners hold on to their belief firmly and save people compassionately. I gave him a Shen Yun show DVD before I left, and he accepted it happily.

On my way home, I realized that Falun Gong practitioners are one whole body as we go about doing truth clarification. Whether we are in Mainland China or overseas, we complement each other however we do this, like writing truth-clarification messages on paper currency, making phone calls, writing letters, or sending text messages. We are using different methods from different angles to break through the CCP's party culture and change people's hearts. More and more people are freeing their hearts from the CCP's prison and imminent danger.

Recently when I persuaded people to quit the CCP, I have found that our fellow practitioners' efforts have changed the situation. It is like what Master said in "Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Midwest-U.S. Fa Conference."

"Dafa disciples have already made it possible for a huge group of people to learn the facts of the persecution."
