(Minghui.org) After I left China in 2014, I clarified the truth about the persecution at tourist attractions. After most venues and events were closed due to the COVID pandemic, I joined the RTC platform and phoned people in China.
At first, I mainly made calls on my own and did not attend any training sessions. I improved very slowly. I later joined the training sessions and made phone calls using pre-recorded voices for more than a year. After that, I started using another program and I finally joined the training sessions.
This program requires me to cooperate with another practitioner. The success rate for helping the person picking up the call and quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations were high. When I made my first round of phone calls, I helped eight people quit the CCP. I felt that this program was effective.
The training is helpful because we face all sorts of misunderstandings and reactions from people during the calls. After the training, my thoughts were clear and my words were more powerful. I was also no longer easily moved when people reacted negatively.
I cooperated with various practitioners. This helped me to maintain a stable attitude compared to the past. Every month, the number of people I successfully persuaded to quit the CCP and its youth organizations steadily increased. From 180 people to 600 people, and recently 776 people. The more calls I make, the more confident I feel and the more I want to call. I felt that making phone calls is not that difficult so I no longer worried if the other party is not able to accept what I am saying or if I am not making myself clear.
During the process of clarifying the truth, I discovered that I still had many elements of the CCP culture such as fighting with others, not placing others first, speaking very loudly, speaking too quickly, having negative thoughts when the person does not quit and choosing people whom I think are easier to be saved to call.
By listening to other practitioners make phone calls and their cultivation experiences, I also understood why some practitioners can persuade so many people to quit the CCP. They maintain a calm attitude and put their hearts into saving people. The words they say are powerful, and I can feel their strong energy field. I can see where I need to improve.
When I first started making phone calls, my throat felt dry and my voice became hoarse after just two hours. Now, I feel empowered. I can make phone calls for four hours without any issues. I believe the other practitioners also had similar experiences.
I feel that clarifying the truth at tourist attractions and over the phone is totally different. At tourist sites, I directly interacted with people. There was little need for me to prepare. There are display boards and materials, and we are usually able to successfully persuade people to quit the CCP and its youth organizations without saying much. However, while making phone calls, we must express ourselves through our words. The difficulty lies in how to help them understand the truth.
I have been making calls using this new calling program for more than a year. I went through many tests and overcame many difficulties. It is just like Master said, “For cultivation is like climbing steps” (“Delusion,” Hong Yin, The Grand Verses).
My education is limited. When I saw that some practitioners can speak so knowledgeably, I felt that I could not catch up with them. This is one of the reasons why I did not have much confidence in making truth-clarifying phone calls.
Some practitioners suggested that I watch more online media programs but I felt that they were a waste of time and I could not remember so much content. I felt I could only improve based on the Fa. Apart from studying the Fa myself, I also joined a Fa study group online to memorize the Fa. Memorizing the Fa has become a regular routine for me now, and I can see many of my shortcomings. I also discovered that I really did not emphasize looking within in the past.
I understood that in order to do well in saving people through phone calls, the most important thing is to have strong righteous thoughts. In order to attain that, I must study the Fa well wholeheartedly, send forth righteous thoughts well, and practice the exercises well. Before I log onto the platform, I send righteous thoughts and maintain my righteous thoughts throughout the whole phone-calling process. When I clarify the truth to people, I also have the thought of eliminating the evil elements behind them so that the words I say are effective.
Sometimes when I am talking with someone, I suddenly know what to say. I know that the one saving that person is Master. As long as I put my heart into it and maintain a harmonious attitude without any wild thoughts, Master will open up my wisdom.
My understanding is that one must improve oneself based on the Fa, cultivate well, immerse oneself in the Fa and maintain righteous thoughts. In that way, we will have wisdom when clarifying the truth.
I’ve also experienced some interference. Last year when the pandemic was very serious in China, nearly every person I phoned quit the CCP and its youth organizations. After calling for more than an hour, I suddenly felt that I could not breathe. I felt as though I was about to lose consciousness.
I immediately realized that I must reject this interference. I begged Master to help me and I recited the formula for sending righteous thoughts. The other practitioner got the next call and I heard the person answer. I calmed down and continued to clarify the truth. After successfully persuading the person to quit, I continued to clarify the truth to the next person. I ended the calling session at 11:20 p.m. Beijing time. I thought of telling that practitioner that my head hurt and I wanted to end the session. However, that practitioner said that there were still many people waiting for us to save them. I continued to call for another 10 minutes before bidding that practitioner goodbye.
When I finally put down the phone, I was exhausted and collapsed on my bed. However, my mind was very clear. After lying there for about fifteen minutes, I recovered. That night, I persuaded eighteen people to quit the CCP. Many peoples’ responses were very good and some even wanted to read Zhuan Falun.
I felt that making phone calls was not simple. The old forces are eyeing us all the time. It is a battle between good and evil in another realm. This kind of disturbance happened a few times during calling sessions and they were all very dangerous. I felt that our cultivation state was also important.
Why is there so much interference when we try to save people? Apart from looking within myself, there are also disturbances from negative entities in other realms. Besides cultivating ourselves well, it’s also important to send righteous thoughts.
The rate of Fa-rectification is fast. Helping to save people is our responsibility and Master extended the time for us. I cannot be disturbed by my notions. I must continue to make phone calls on the platform.
Once when I logged onto the platform, many people hung up as soon as I phoned them. I did not even manage to help one person quit the CCP after an hour of calling. I thought of quitting for the day. I recalled the experience shared by a practitioner some time ago. The practitioner said that no matter what, he must make phone calls wholeheartedly. I persisted in making phone calls. The next person who picked up the call was a young man. He asked, “Are you a Falun Dafa practitioner?” I replied, “Yes. Do you know about Falun Dafa?” He said, “Yes, I already quit the CCP and its youth organizations.” Then I told him about reciting the two phrases: Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. He said, “No matter how difficult it is, you must persist.” I suddenly understood that Master was encouraging me through him. My negative thoughts and notions immediately disintegrated. After that, most of the people I called quit the CCP and its youth organizations. I made phone calls for an hour and seven people quit.
Sometimes, I do not feel like making phone calls. When this happens I think of Master and the practitioners in China who are still persisting in saving people despite being in such a harsh environment. We are overseas, in a much more relaxed environment that does not have persecution. All we need to do is just make phone calls but here I am allowing personal issues to interfere with my saving lives. This cannot do!
All the practitioners on the phone call platform form an entity. When one person is saved, it’s the result of everyone’s efforts. Therefore, cooperating well is important in this project.
I thought that I would help wherever I was needed. A practitioner said that they were short-handed on Fridays, so I signed up for Fridays. The first time when I went on duty I felt that the energy field was strong.
Afterward, another practitioner asked me to increase my afternoon hours on Saturday and I agreed. Then a practitioner messaged me and asked if I could join the platform on Sunday afternoon. I read the message but did not reply. Two weeks later, the practitioner sent me another message. This time, I thought that practitioners did not cultivate for themselves. Everyone must cooperate. I cannot be selfish. This time, I agreed to the request.
Practitioners also looked for me to host the cultivation exchange session. Everyone must have a chance to speak in the small group. I originally thought that I could just take up the duty timing and make phone calls. I did not expect that I would be asked to host the cultivation experience-sharing session and my stress was great. When the duty leader asked me to speak more and share more cultivation experiences, I said that I could not speak and express myself well.
Being asked to host the cultivation-sharing session had a great impact on me. I could not calm down when I read the Fa or did the exercises. I could not focus on making the phone calls and I kept worrying that I did not speak well during the session. I still had an attachment to my reputation. I felt that my mandarin was not good, etc.
When the lead practitioner on duty was in charge of hosting the session, he asked me if I had anything to talk about. I did not have much contact with the outside world apart from my family members. However, since he called for me, I cooperated.
I used this opportunity to calm down and look within myself. Although I am still not doing well in this aspect, I hope that I can do better over time.
I phoned a man and suggested he quit the CCP and its youth organizations and I suddenly started coughing. I apologized but he said that it was fine and he continued to listen as I spoke. I spoke and coughed at the same time. I thought in my heart: I must stop this disturbance, I must save people, Master please empower me. He listened seriously and quit the Communist Youth League.
I asked if he understood what I said. He said that he heard me clearly and he thanked me.
When the phone call ended, a practitioner told me that my voice was soft and he could barely hear me. However, the man kept saying that he heard me clearly. He said that my voice sounded nice and he liked listening to me. He agreed to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. When I checked my computer I realized that I did not turn on my microphone. This was really amazing!
Another time the echo was bad while I made a call. The practitioner asked if it would affect my phone call but I did not have time to reply to him. I knew that the echo was interference so I just calmed down and spoke slowly. The person I phoned quit the CCP and its youth organization and was not affected by the echo at all.
I understood that we do what we should do. When we meet with difficulties or tests, we should not focus on them. We should just immerse ourselves in the Fa and persist in doing the three things well. If there is a problem, we should treat it as an opportunity to improve ourselves. In that way, miracles will happen.
Once when I logged onto the platform I heard a practitioner making phone calls even though I knew he was having sickness symptoms. He recovered three days later. This incident greatly inspired me. Once, when I was making phone calls, I suddenly displayed flu symptoms. I was cold so I covered myself with blankets and continued phoning people. That day, I successfully persuaded nineteen people to quit the CCP and its youth organizations.
The one who is saving these people is not us but Master. As long as we persist, Master will make arrangements for the people with an affinity to come and be saved.
I am thankful to Master for giving us this platform so that we can still save people from China on the frontlines even though most tourist attractions are still closed. I feel so honored.
I came from China. After obtaining the Fa, I had the wish to save the people in China. Master tells us that most of the kings in the Heavens reincarnated in China.
I had a vivid dream a week before I left China. I saw that I came from a very high-level heavenly body. In the dream, I kept weeping. I saw that my whole family went overseas and the levels of sentient beings in my heavenly realm were all kneeling down and begging me not to leave China. They said that there were still many people in China that were waiting for me to save them. My mission is to save the people in China, and they begged me not to leave. When I woke up, my face was covered in tears.
If I did not go overseas, I would be separated from my family and people would not understand. However, I couldn’t forget that dream—it continually reminded me to save the people in China. I immediately went to the tourist sites to clarify the truth, no matter how hard it was.
I hope that through my own cultivation experience, I can remind practitioners who came from China that we should remember our mission. Although we are now overseas, we still must focus on saving the people in China. They are our family. Our beings are waiting to return to our heavenly worlds.
Thank you, Master, for giving us this platform. It’s a precious opportunity to progress together, save more people and fulfill our vows. I hope that fellow practitioners cherish this platform and assist Master in saving more people in China.
These are my limited experiences. Kindly correct me if there is any room for improvement.
