I once wrote an article to expose the evil persecution in China. I submitted it to a Dafa website but it did not get published. I began to think that the reason that it did not get published was because I had not been practicing diligently enough and wasn't any good at anything or was good for anything. I did not write again. Recently, I was discussing this matter with a fellow practitioner when she said, "Now is the Fa-rectification period. Writing down the truth is validating Dafa and rectifying the Fa. I don't have a high educational level. Sometimes, when I do not know how to write certain Chinese characters while writing truth-clarifying articles, I will just draw circles to represent those missing characters. Some practitioners call me 'Aunt Circle." Suddenly, I realized that writing truth-clarifying materials to expose the evil is indeed assisting Master in the Fa-rectification. Master said, "As Dafa practitioners, under the current situation, you should tell people the truth to expose the evil, thus safeguarding Dafa. It is the evil, not Dafa disciples, which is afraid of letting people know the truth." I must expose the persecution that the evil has done to me. I must expose the evil in different areas, whether or not the persecution I suffered was a lot or just a little.
This morning, I was ready to write again. As soon as I placed a piece of paper on the table, there was a sudden power outage. I recalled from memory that my apartment building rarely experienced power outages. But this time, the entire building had no electricity. The room was too dark for me to write. I felt this was not coincidental. I decided not to let the evil interference stop me from writing. I found two half-used candles and lit one of them. I then thought about my own cultivation process. My compassion arose, thinking that there were still so many people to be saved.
While thinking, I looked up, and I saw the candlewick pointing straight up and was more than one inch long. At the tip of the candlewick, a small flower bloomed with petals. In the middle of the petals, grew the stamen and pistil. Wasn't that an encouragement from Master? I pressed my hands together with tears in my eyes and thanked Master for his arduous salvation, 'Master, I understand. I certainly will write the truth to expose the evil and to clarify the truth about the Fa and save people.' At that moment, the flower turned towards me. For a very long time, the flower faced me. It seemed that the candle burned very slowly. The small flower rotated and faced all directions. When the first candle burned out, I lit the other one. Soon another small flower bloomed. I wrote for six to seven hours, and the candle was still not used up. Moreover, when one flower fell, another one would immediately bloom, continuing to accompany me. The flower remained quietly in bloom until I had to stop to do something else. I did not want to blow it out, and said, "It is too beautiful! I have to go now. But I really do not want to blow it out." At that moment, the flower fell down by itself and melted away.
Our merciful, great Master: you have withstood so much for me, but what I can pay back is so little. What I have obtained is actually so much. In the Fa-rectification, you have been constantly protecting and caring for us. You have given us the best. We must not fall short of the great hopes you hold for us.
