During the promotion of 2017 Shen Yun, one practitioner hoped I would deliver Shen Yun brochures to several dancing schools which were close to my home. Even if I was so busy with other stuff at that time, I still agreed to finish this task.
I am actually a little afraid of driving in the evening since my driving skills are not very good. In order to avoid driving at night, I planned to leave for the dancing schools at 3:30pm and probably should be able to come back before it gets dark.
The next day after I entered the address in the GPS, I found those dancing schools are actually not very close to me–around 30 miles. It was impossible for me to drive back on time. I was a little upset and felt like complaining to myself: why did the practitioner not ask others to deliver the materials? But immediately I felt surprised about this thought: Why did I become this way? “Helping Master rectify the Fa” and “saving sentient beings” are Dafa Disciples’ responsibilities and first priority. I wasn’t like this before! Recalling the time back at the beginning of 2001 when the persecution was the most severe in Mainland China, one practitioner turned to me to undertake a risky task. He built a truth-clarifying-material station for producing truth-telling materials such as CD, DVD, banners, etc. on a large scale. For security reasons, it was not safe to share the location with every practitioner. Therefore, he hoped I would become a middleman to distribute the materials to the local practitioners one by one. In doing so, he also hoped I would contact more fellow practitioners, encourage them to come out and provide them with updated truth-clarifying materials. Honestly speaking, this was a very dangerous role. I would definitely be in trouble if there was anything wrong with any party. In that evil environment, I didn’t hesitate at all to shoulder this task and took this as the fellow practitioner’s deep trust in me: there is no accidental thing, and this must be Master’s arrangement as well. I had to try my best to fulfill it. Conversely, today, in a peaceful environment, how come I start to complain even about such a little thing? I realized that cultivation is like sailing against the current; either you keep forging ahead or you keep falling behind. Accordingly, I was sending righteous thoughts while driving to the dancing schools. I felt happy from my heart even though it was already dark when I finished the delivery.
During the Shen Yun tour, I went to eight cities to offer help. There was one time my sister and brother-in-law coincidently visited me from China. They could only stay for four days at my home (from Monday to Thursday), however, I didn’t have too much time to accompany them at all if I chose to help Shen Yun. I was hesitating if I should go. But after thinking that there was indeed a lack of manpower, I still decided to leave. After the show on Wednesday, I hurried back as fast as I could and arrived home at 3am. In the end, I was able to accompany them for the last day and see them off at the airport in the late afternoon. Of course, they also understood me very well. Even if I was very tired, I believed I should take care of every aspect.
Above is my own little experience and I would like to share it with everyone here. If there is anything inappropriate, please correct me with compassion.
