(Minghui.org) The epidemic was serious before the Lunar New Year in 2023. I am a teacher and I thought that I would have to teach my classes online during the winter vacation, but suddenly the lockdown was lifted, and the students were required to attend in-person classes. So, I brought informational materials to school.
Persistently Distributing the Materials to People
I have been tutoring extracurricular sessions for the students, and one evening, a student could not come for his allotted time. I thought about whether to use the time to distribute the materials, or to study the Fa, but I had little time to study the Fa given my increased workload. I decided to go to a nearby community to distribute truth clarification materials.
I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate all the interfering evil factors in the community, I focused on clearing out any evil factors that would interfere with people's understanding of the materials and with practitioners’ ability to distribute the materials. After I finished sending righteous thoughts, I went there.
When I entered that community, I felt the field in other dimensions of that area was very depressing. I upheld my righteous thoughts, rejected the interference, and persistently distributed the materials in the community.
Later, when talking to people face-to-face, I learned that the many top officials of the city resided in that community, and there is also an unlisted police station in that area.
I often rode my electric bike to the different areas where I would distribute materials. Once, while riding my electric bike on the way to a certain location, the thunder started rumbling, and raindrops started falling.
I had a thought, “No matter what weather is coming, it will not stop me from distributing the materials.” Once I finished distributing everything in two buildings, the sparse rain became a down pore, and the streets became rivers.
I took shelter in a building entrance and sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors that were trying to prevent people from knowing the truth, and I prayed that people who received the material would understand the truth.
When the rain became a little lighter, I went to distribute materials to the other buildings. When I was done, the rain became light, but the streets were flooded, and I could not ride my bike. I pushed my bike all the way back home in the rain, and was soaked by the time I arrived home.
After Master’s scripture “How Humankind Came To Be” was published, I brought the copies of it with me when I went to my hometown. There were very few practitioners there, and the people there seldom had a chance to receive the materials. I went out to distribute the materials the evening I arrived, and I did again the next morning. It was very windy and dusty, with poor visibility. I walked on the street carrying the materials, the strong wind almost lifted me off the ground. I distributed the material building-by-building and door-by-door. When I was done, it was already dark and the wind stopped.
Sometime later, I traveled back to my hometown again, and I brought with me the informational materials and Master’s new article as well. As soon as I entered the door, my sister (a non-practitioner) complained to me, “I am the only one taking care of our parents.” (Which was not the real situation.) I listened to her nagging, and in my mind I tried not to let her words disturb me. She left after lunch, and my mother asked me, “What was she complaining about? You have nothing to do with those things.” I said to her, “Do you know what I was thinking? I was looking inside to see if I have a complaining mentality.”
After sending righteous thoughts, I offered incense to Master and begged Master for strengthening, and I kowtowed to Master three times and set off to distribute the materials. I did this again on the second day. I spent the entire day, traveling from the north of the town to the south, distributing the materials in one, two, or sometimes more buildings in every community I went to. I wanted all sentient beings in that area to have a chance to receive Dafa’s salvation.
Treating Students with Compassion
I followed the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, and would consider the need of the students first when I taught the class. My responsible attitude was recognized by the students and their parents. Here are a few examples:
Our school has three ranks of classes. Experimental is the top rank and is taught by the best teachers. The pressure is high, with weekly tests and monthly exams, and the class teacher would publish a monthly score ranking of the students.
The pressure pushed many students to the verge of depression and made the parents complain. A girl in the experimental class attended one of my tutoring sessions. Noticing her stressful situation, I encouraged her and helped her to relax. Her mother told me, “My daughter was happy every time she came out of your class, and I usually don’t see her that happy from other classes.” She introduced many students to my class. In the college entrance examination, the girl achieved her best scores during her high school years. She ranked 60th in her grade, while she was usually ranked around 200.
The international class is the lowest rank, taught by the average teachers. A student of an international class, after attending my tutoring sessions, tested first-place in her class; her score was much higher than that of the second-place student, and higher than the majority of students in the experimental class.
It was not that I had excellent teaching skills. When tutoring the students, I just tried my best to follow the requirements for a Dafa practitioner and to be responsible for them. In addition, the righteous energy field of a cultivator could calm the students, which would help them to stay focused while studying.
Last semester, a high school freshman came to my tutoring session. He had a single-parent family, he was arrogant and rebellious, and his mother had a big headache dealing with him.
Being informed about his situation, I talked to him about why and how to be a good person when he came to my class. Slowly, he changed. Two months after attending my tutoring sessions, his mother told me: “My son stopped yelling at me at home, and his attitude has improved a lot. Now he would discuss his things with me.” This semester, he improved more. His mother called me several times and wanted me to tutor her son all the way to graduation. She said that she would feel assured of her son doing well if I tutored him. I believed that there must be a reason that he came to my class, and I looked inside to find whether I had similar problems to the ones he had.
Explaining the Content of Falun Gong to My Students
I treated every student that came to my class with compassion, and they trusted me. While chatting with them, I would explain to them the truth about Falun Gong. Some students understood what I told them and received blessings.
A student took a tour last summer to Fujian Province. At end of his tour, a typhoon came in. He was able to catch the last high-speed train back to Beijing. As soon as his train departed, all other trains and flights were canceled. After he arrived in Beijing, he also caught the very last transferring train home that day. People said he was lucky. I knew clearly that he was blessed for understanding the truth.
Two girls took the college entrance exam. They did not have very good scores to begin with but were both admitted to their dreamed colleges. Right before the exam, they came to understand the truth, and both quit the CCP’s youth organizations.
Time is flying. I will cherish the time Master has extended for us, diligently cultivate myself, live up to the expectations of sentient beings, and be worthy of Master’s salvation.
