Early in the morning of January 23, 2002, I was feeling depressed because I felt that I hadn't cultivated benevolence and compassion during my cultivation practice. That afternoon and evening, I happened to participate in two experience-sharing meetings with some North American practitioners in the Taozhumiao District of Taiwan. I really greatly benefited from the experience sharing. One of the North American practitioners shared several personal stories. His serene compassion and benevolence touched me deeply.
This North American practitioner said that when he went to Taiwan to attend the Fa conference at the end of last year, two airport policemen selected him for luggage inspection out of over 200 passengers on his return trip. Their mannerisms were very bad, and they appeared extremely fierce. They wanted to inspect everything and asked him all sorts of questions. From what he described, they were, quite simply, intentionally looking for fault. They swept his entire body with a hand-held metal detector, which picked up a Falun Dafa pin in his pocket. They then asked what it was, and he explained it to them. After he found out that one of the airport policemen practiced other types of Qigong, he immediately took out a flyer introducing Falun Dafa and gave it to them. Their attitude changed completely. Their expressions became genial, and they gave up trying to interrogate him. They not only zipped up his luggage, but they also sent him to the front of the line so he could quickly board the plane and not waste a minute. Afterwards, he realized that no matter how bad their mannerisms were, if seen from another dimension, they were looking for the Fa! Therefore, he hopes that, when spreading the Fa, our practitioners will not pay too much attention to people's attitudes.
He also mentioned a story spread among the practitioners. In labor camps and police stations in Mainland China, although these public security officers ferociously abuse and torture practitioners in every possible way, practitioners with opened Third Eyes [Tianmu] could see that these people's Primordial Spirits [Yuanshen] kneeled on the floor in front of the Falun Dafa practitioners to ask for forgiveness.
Another practitioner who produces truth-clarifying CDs, and works for a Falun Dafa broadcasting station and the FGM TV production center, talked about how he obtained the Fa, attended the Guangzhou International Fa Conference and went to appeal on Tiananmen Square. It was quite moving. During his sharing, he said: 'No one knew how to start TV production. No one had done it. We held a meeting to discuss it. Frequently one person proposed an idea, but nobody thought it was good. One person preferred this way and another person preferred another. In the end, everyone thought the very first idea was the best of all.' Dafa is enriching the experiences of the Falun Dafa practitioners. Their ability to break through such difficult situations really makes me, a sheltered flower, blush with shame. [What I have done is] insufficient! I often refuse to do something because I don't know how to do it.
Another practitioner talked about her Fa-spreading [Hong Fa] experiences in North America. She and other young practitioners would in turn take charge of displaying an exhibition board, handing out flyers in different languages, and broadcasting radio programs and television programs clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa in front of Capitol Building in Washington D.C. They did this to give the tourists a chance to obtain the Fa and to find out the truth. They really have done very well. We should learn from them.
