I started to practice Falun Gong in the second half year of 1998. After July 20th, 1999, due to the persecution and defamation campaign against Falun Gong by the old evil forces, and my fear, I became suspicious about Falun Gong and stopped practicing.
Three years passed by, I happened to meet one fellow practitioner. This fellow practitioner told me some of his/her cultivation experiences, and gave me Teacher's new articles and other materials. After reading them, I realized that not even one true practitioner has fallen down. Also Teacher told us:
"Despite this, and the situation in which a large number of disciples who are true cultivators are suffering severe hardships, the time of conclusion has been repeatedly postponed so as to wait for those people to recognize their own fundamental attachments. This is because many among them are predestined and have the potential to reach Consummation." (Essentials for Further Advancement "Towards Consummation")
Since then I started to practice Falun Gong again. Miracles continuously happened only after a few days of practice.
The first one was the curing of my diarrhea condition. I have been continuously taking medicines for more than one year but my condition could not be cured. When I started to practice again, the diarrhea immediately stopped. I enlightened that Teacher was still taking care of me and did not give up on a disappointing student like myself. I was deeply moved by Teacher's great mercy and could not stop the tears from my eyes.
Second, my three year old son's right arm was injured after a tricycle rolled over it, at which, it became immediately swollen. We thought his bones might have been fractured. However, the swollen area disappeared within a few minutes, and looked the same as before the accident happened.
Third, we own an eatery selling mostly bakery goods, which include an assortment of different buns.. Many times, we would sell out of all the steamed buns by about 9 p.m., after we started to practice however, we could sell them out by 7 p.m. On one of these occasions, my spouse asked me to make more steamed buns so we could replenish our stock. But, I said no, these precious minutes are given by Teacher for us to study the Fa, practice exercises, clarify the truth and send forth righteous thoughts.
Fourth, I was sending forth righteous thoughts at 12 noon on September 15th. And as I sent out the most pure righteous thoughts from bottom of my heart to eliminate the evil, I entered into tranquillity straight away. I felt my body floating and it flew to the sky. I saw the beautiful and colourful clouds underneath, and felt very wonderful. I saw myself meditating with legs crossed and co-joined hands in the sky, I deeply felt compassion and serenity in my heart. Meanwhile I saw a crowd of demons tumbled in front of me, but they would not dare to get close to me. Not after long, they turned into white powder.
Maybe my experience can be a reference to you. I hope those fellow practitioners who were lost in maze like myself, can be awakened as soon as possible and catch up with Teacher's Fa-rectification process before the immense force of Fa-rectification arrives, sweeping through the human world. Teacher taught us to, "Clarify the facts, send righteous thoughts, expose the lies, clean out the rotten ghouls." (Essentials for Further Advancement "Be Clearheaded")
The above is my personal understanding, please correct me if it is wrong.
