(Clearwisdom.net) I work at a new senior center in the USA. I used to be very weak and sick and tended to fight for petty gains, all of which made my life tiresome and bitter before my gaining the Fa. Since practicing Falun Dafa, my body has been illness free in addition to feeling light and healthy. I am happy everyday and never feel exhausted. My daily life has now become a peaceful and happy one and the people around me are becoming my friends. They came to know and support Falun Gong gradually from my daily conduct and my mental and physical change. All of them condemn the crazy persecution and suppression of Falun Gong by Jiang's ruling regime. Whenever I take a vacation to attend a Fa-conference, the manager always helps me out by arranging the vacation for me. If the manager can't manage to schedule it, my colleagues exchange shifts with me. They always give me a ride to the front of the Chinese Consulate. Once the manager sent me by his own car and specifically drove by Gandhi's (the famous Hindu Politician) statue. He then told me: "Falun Gong is similar to Gandhi and Martin Luther King, ..."
Everybody around me is American, but I don't know much English. How could I spread Dafa better and let the universal law stir deeply in people's hearts?
Thus, I started to consult with everyone surrounding me about the Dafa introduction and asked them to teach me how to read the words "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" (Zhen-Shan-Ren in Chinese) in English word by word. They taught me very patiently again and again and I learned from them with sincerity. In no more than half a month, everyone there could recite "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance." Several of them can read both in English and Chinese. Since then, they began to read Dafa materials, then, they began to read Falun Gong, later on, they asked for the introduction tape and exercise music.
Since last March, I have been practicing the five-set exercises at the center yard every morning at breakfast time. There is no audience, but there are eyes behind each window watching me. I was persistent and kept practicing all over the spring and summer, so that, half a year later, many have shown an interest in learning Falun Gong.
One elderly lady who is in a ward likes Dafa music very much. She opens her window every morning and sits in front of the window to listen to the Dafa "miracle music." Her illnesses and irritation are gradually going day by day and happiness shows on her face. She praises Falun Gong to everyone she knows. She introduces Dafa truth materials to her relatives and friends and the nurses on night duty. When there are any articles in the newspaper about Falun Gong, she cuts them out for me. My English improves in this way.
Once I asked a practitioner to print out several cultivation stories of Western practitioners from the website to give to the lady. One colleague took it over first after I got there: "Let me read it first, then it's her turn, ok?" Another colleague came over to read them as well.
The next day, one of these colleagues downloaded some other articles of Dafa practitioners from the Internet. They took them to the center and let everyone read and talk about them. These cultivation stories of Falun Dafa spread all over the senior center.
I asked them: "What are these articles about?"
They answered me: "They are all Falun Gong stories, you don't know yourself?"
I smiled: "Falun Gong practitioners are in the millions, and every one has his or her touching story, I can't know all of them. Moreover, I can't read English."
A colleague said: "I didn't read that article, either. But I know, it doesn't matter how many stories there are, they are all about the three words 'Truth- Compassion- Tolerance'."
Everyone agreed, then we recited "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance," "Truth- Compassion- Tolerance" in the same tune.
I have seen they have been saved from their pure happy faces; all these are of our teacher's benevolent compassion and of Dafa's mighty virtue.
