Opera Festival – Cultivating Xinxing Through the Process of Saving Sentient Beings

Guang Du

PureInsight | January 27, 2016

[PureInsight.org] By August 15, half of the thirty-five-day Wagner Festival in Germany had transpired. Many opera audience members from different places passed by on the day we sent out the information. How could the wonderful Dafa be brought to different places around the world? Since they said that they already signed (the petition) and received the flyers, we believed the best way was to demonstrate the exercises. During the process, there were some cultivation stories that we wanted to share.

Demonstrating Exercise without Pursuit

On the last information day, I wanted the event to finish soon so I could go home. There were not many people signing the petition. On this information day on August 11, I had a breakthrough; I kept doing the five sets of exercises. Even though the temperature reached 36 degree Celsius, I kept doing the exercises. The passersby did not know this was a chance for them to be saved nor that time was becoming more urgent. We broadcasted the best music and the latest truth information simultaneously. We separated them by a far distance so the sounds would not be interference. Then many families came to sign the petition.

Even Though I Was Tired, I Refused to Rely on Caffeine to Stay Awake

One practitioner got used to studying the Fa from 4 to 6 AM every morning. After having breakfast, she would take a break. However, she disrupted her regular schedule on information day. She felt tired, and she wanted to use coffee to stay awake the whole day, but she suddenly enlightened that whether she believed the Fa and exercises would keep her awake or believed that caffeine would keep her awake was the fundamental difference. Caffeine only cured the outside rather than making you awake from the inside. However, exercises kept you awake and energetic, and you did not feel tired the whole day. Falun Gong exercises repeatedly showed miracles. During Fa study we shared this experience, and the other practitioners were also moved. In fact, people relied on caffeine to stay awake, and they felt discomfort the next day. They did not feel energetic. There were a lot of side effects. It was not truly human beings’ energy.

Even If Only One Person is Saved, I Did Not Do It in Vain

Nowadays there are a lot of practitioners clarifying the truth at tourist locations. Therefore, there is not enough manpower for other projects. Most of the time, there is only one person handling over 1,900 audience members a day at the Opera festival. This person hands out flyers and collects signatures to support stopping the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. We have been doing the same thing for more than ten years. I have always experienced many tests of whether I should give up or continue doing it. When I saw many new faces this year, I felt happiness through the process of saving a life. In the future, when the truth comes out, they will not complain that there was no one telling them the truth or giving them a chance to choose. Everyone who signed the petition is encouraged to act as mobile media. As long as one person is saved, I did not come here for nothing. This faith supports me to continue doing it every day. Also, I sometimes feel that I had signed a vow to face 1,900 people, and this was my first desire. I felt that Master arranged a set of tickets every five days to change the audience, and then there was another group of new faces. This repeated again and again. Many people had been filtered by the updated truth information. Everyone received a flyer on the first day, and then they thought for a day. Later, they would have a day for making their decision and a chance for signing the petition. Everything was already well planned, and everyone had been given a chance. When I heard that people had already gotten flyers or signed the petition, I felt that it was not like 1,900 people, and it seemed closer to 300 people. Did they all go through me in five or seven days? They passed through the downtown practitioners on information day, the broadcasting, and the banners. If we had taken care of this group of people, then we already did everything. Their ears and eyes did not leave the truth.

Studying Fa Three Times a Day

My energy came from studying Zhuan Falun in German with our project group at midnight for two hours every day. At noon I studied Zhuan Falun in Chinese for an hour after sending forth righteous thoughts worldwide. At 8 pm, I studied Master’s lectures during the Fa-rectification period with the Chinese-Bavarian practitioners’ Fa study group. I always had a lot of questions for Master, but I would get the answers from a sentence after I studied the Fa. I also asked other practitioners about how to breakthrough some cultivation issues. Our study group provided a lot of suggestions that were really helpful.

Practitioners Are Elevated by the Fa

Could we stop the organ harvesting by collecting signatures from the worldwide mainstream society audience at the Opera Festival? This question was an argument between new practitioners and Caucasians practitioners. However, Bavarian practitioners continued to have righteous thoughts on this issue during the group experience sharing after Fa study every night. Understanding the Fa could make the Fa-rectification practitioners aware of the urgency of saving people as well as encourage the frontline practitioners. During Fa study that day I resolved this problem, “…So when it comes to helping the world's people learn about this, helping society to become alarmed, having the world's people react in outrage at this persecution, or leading them to voice their support of Dafa disciples--this seems very hard to do. The reason is, the evil has been concealing the truth, and their persecutory tactics have been terribly wicked. Never before has something like this happened” (Falun Dafa – Teaching the Fa at the Conference VTeaching the Fa at the 2005 Canada Fa Conference).
