A 2-year-old boy said to me, "My home is not here but in heaven. So is aunty Nannan's home."
'What is there in heaven?'
'There are a lot of beautiful flowers, dad, mum, grandma, grandpa and brother.'
Obviously, this is not chatting at an ordinary person's level.
A 3-year-old toddler went to give out leaflets. She offered the leaflet immediately when somebody passed by, and told them sincerely, "Falun Dafa is good; it will make you physically healthier and morally improved.'
A 5-year-old boy said, "In the future, Teacher will take us to our home with beautiful flowers."
After practicing Falun Dafa, we have given our routine life new meaning. Ordinary, day-to-day talking changes fundamentally. Sharing experiences of promoting Fa is talking about how to save sentient beings. Talking about looking into ourselves under all circumstances is purifying our own paradise. Clarifying the truth to people in human society seems to be asking for support, but actually we are telling them of the establishment of the earth-shaking, mighty virtue of enlightened beings. What we talk about is the great era when humans and gods exist at the same time, how these great beings guard Fa using their lives during cultivation, and how Teacher saves the lost and the confused using infinite benevolence.
Fa conferences are the places where we like to go most. In the Fa-conferences, we talk about these nice things that are pertinent to cultivation and its sacredness. Our talking connects to paradises in different levels. This is literally 'talking about heaven and earth.' (Translator's Note: "Talking about heaven and earth" is a Chinese idiom meaning "chatting," usually about a wide range of topics "between heaven and earth.")
Before cultivating, I always worried about my clumsiness of speech. I tried to improve, but had little success. I became accustomed to this as I grew older. Fortunately, in the Chinese society, girls are admired for being gentle and quiet. When I first started to clarify the truth to people, I stammered and could not arrange the words very well to answer the tricky questions asked by people in human society.
Now things are completely different. My speech reflects the improvement of my cultivation level due to the benefits of understanding the Fa. The dignity of Fa is in my words. Through apparently matter-of-fact words, I can clarify things with the great enlightened beings' benevolence in my words. Cultivating in Dafa has given me wisdom, so I have become good at talking. I know that I have matured in cultivation.
The first time I talked to my boss about Falun Dafa, a lot of my colleagues were around, and some were waiting to see me embarrassed. I sounded neither inferior nor haughty. Afterward, a Chinese female colleague told me, "You talked very well; I don't know how to talk to western bosses." Later, my boss brought me to see his boss and introduced me to him, saying, "She practices Falun Gong. You cannot send her to work in China, or she will be thrown in jail." My boss's boss replied easily, "Then we won't send her; we do not want to lose her."
It always happens this way: Just when you start to tell the truth, the environment in this dimension suddenly becomes cold. I know that there is interference from bad beings in other dimensions. After that, I always make it a point to eliminate the evil while telling the truth, purifying the field around me so I can talk about heaven and earth in a free and huge dimension.
Once, when I was clarifying the truth to a colleague from Mainland China, my smile expressed the upholding strength of enlightened beings. Every quiet sentence of mine was very strong. Under the strong, righteous field, that colleague of mine who had not been long out of the evil environment was sincerely convinced. He said, sincerely, "It seems that even Jiang XX could not win if he talked to you." That is for sure. A being that is going to be damned is nothing.
Once, when it was the time to finish the day's work, a lot of Chinese colleagues who had just come from China came to my office. People had told me that they always talked about me behind my back. They had a lot of curiosity and incorrect understandings, but no hostility. They inquisitively asked me many questions at the same time. Quite often, somebody would interrupt a question, "Such a simple question, even I could answer. Don't waste her time. You can find the answer to this kind of question by reading Minghui net." They already knew Minghui net. I was surrounded by my colleagues, feeling that righteous factors of my cultivated part were helping me in their ways. I looked at them and talked to them calmly. I didn't use a lot of words. At the same time, I'd bless them, hoping for their securing a good relationship with Dafa, obtaining the Fa in the future, and starting cultivation. During that time, there once came a phone call, asking what we were doing. My colleagues thought for a little while and answered that we were having an academic discussion.
Now, all my colleagues like to talk to me. They like to ask me about some principles for living that are difficult for them to understand. They even want to know when they can start to practice Falun Gong. I said to them firmly, "Very soon. A lot of people will be practicing Falun Gong." When they heard this, their surprised expressions had hints of happiness mixed in them. A fellow practitioner said that I had corrected the field around me.
We do the exercises and clarify the truth at a tourist site during the weekend. Facing Chinese tourists, I could feel the substance of karma making them resist a correct understanding of the Fa. I know I need to eliminate those bad things. Then I started to talk, "Falun Gong is welcomed in over 40 countries." It seems that now I have speaking skills that normal public speakers do not have.
I've noticed that many practitioners have a natural talent for speaking. Among them, I'm only a particle. People often sigh admiringly, "All of you can speak like this, so it seems that your Teacher is really great." Normally, I tell them, seriously, "Yes. Our Teacher is the greatest."
How wonderful and magnificent it is to be a Fa-rectification disciple and Fa guardian in the human world! We are taking part in a universal war between righteousness and evil. While talking cheerfully and humorously, the evil disappears like ashes flying away and smoke vanishing. We give a new meaning to people in human society's 'talking about heaven and earth.'
We are writing the history of the new humans. We are initiating the future. We remember that Teacher taught us, "We should all speak according to a practitioner's Xinxing, and should not create conflicts or say anything improper. As practitioners, we should measure ourselves with the standard of the Fa to determine if we should say something. It will not be a problem to say what should be said through sizing up a practitioner's Xinxing standard with the Fa. In addition, we need to talk about the Fa and promote it." ('Xiu Kou, Cultivation of Speech,' Chapter 8, Zhuan Falun)
