Memorizing the Fa-rectification verse
On July 9th, 2002, sixteen-year-old Xiao Hong was visiting her aunt. When she got there, her aunt played Teacher Li's lecture tape. She said to her after watching the tape, "The Teacher had light surrounding his body." Two days later, as her aunt and uncle were meditating, she found herself being pulled from her bed by an unseen force in front of Teacher's picture. She showed her respect by pressing her hands together in front of her chest.
Teacher sat on the lotus flower in a white kasaya and motioned downward, coming out from the picture. The voice of Teacher, sounding as if it came from a wide-open space, was deep and compassionate, "My disciple! I have been looking for you for a long time and I have finally found you." Xiao Hong didn't understand what Teacher said and asked, "Why do you want to find me?" Teacher said, "Come to cultivate and study the Fa. Do you know that your assistant consciousness is asking for my help?" Later on, Teacher told her with kindness and compassion, "Come to cultivate! Come to cultivate!" Then Teacher disappeared, followed by a golden light.
When it was time to send forth righteous thoughts at 11 o'clock that night, Xiao Hong insistently told her aunt and uncle to leave a seat for Teacher and let Him sit there. At that time, Teacher wore a yellow kasaya and told Xiao Hong, "Memorize the verse of Fa-rectification firmly in your mind!"
Clarifying the truth for the first time
On her first day of clarifying the truth to others, Xiao Hong asked for 40 flyers from her aunt. When her aunt told her to cover the materials up with a sheet of plastic, Xiao Hong replied that she believed in Teacher and will come back after they are all passed out. Feeling that they were too precious to be covered up, she sent forth righteous thoughts to distribute them safely. She clarified the truth to people she met and handed out all the materials to the crowd.
Playing in the heavenly palace
One day, the aunt was practicing, and Xiao Hong was lying down next to her. Xiao Hong felt as if she entered the practice music gradually. She flew on the clouds and felt wonderful. Then she saw the palace gate in the heavens and flew over towards it with curiosity. She found herself to be a very little child with bare feet, wearing only a red tunic and had two little braids. She went to the palace gate and noticed two characters "heavenly palace." The dragons and phoenix carved on the palace gates were shining. Two poles, at both sides of the gate, were penetrating so highly into the clouds that their tops couldn't be seen at all. Xiao Hong touched the dragons, phoenixes and the golden rings with excitement. She moved closer to the palace gate and tried to push it open, but failed. Then she heard Teacher's voice, "My disciple, don't play anymore and go back down to cultivate." Xiao Hong hurried to ask, "Teacher, where are you? Why can't I see you?" Then she felt someone shake her shoulder and it was her aunt waking her up from the dream.
Yellow strings, gray strings, black strings
Once, Teacher brought Xiao Hong to the heavens. There were strings in three colors: yellow, gray and black, in one room. Each color of the string had both light and dark shades to them. Teacher told her what these strings meant. The light yellow ones represent the disciples who recently obtained the Fa, and the dark yellow ones represent veteran disciples. The black strings represent those who persecute Dafa and Dafa practitioners viciously and who attacked Dafa. The gray strings are for the people who don't know the truth. For those people, they might easily become black and be eliminated upon contact with the people of the black strings, and would be saved if they met Dafa disciples. For those people of the black strings and had done bad deeds in ignorance, their assistant consciousnesses knelt down in front of Teacher and begged to be saved. Master also told Xiao Hong that clarifying the truth and saving people is also the opportunity for disciples to improve and elevate.
Things that Xiao Hong has enlightened to
Xiao Hong realized that we should simply tell people the facts and save them. She also advises other practitioners again and again in the experience sharing that we shouldn't think too much about the rank of the policeman when we clarify the truth to them. Instead we should consider them as regular people who need to be saved. When we clarify the truth, we should carry this thought, "I am coming to save you," which has the power to move heaven and earth.
I will go to Tiananmen to uphold Dafa
Recently, Xiao Hong studied the Fa diligently and felt that she was ready to appeal in Beijing. Her aunt, uncle and fellow practitioners thought that since she only gained the Fa for over one month, she should make Fa-study the first priority and consider going to Beijing later. But Xiao Hong said, "Teacher gives me everything as well as the righteous thoughts. I am determined to rectify the Fa in Tiananmen Square. Nothing is to be feared with the protection of our Teacher." She did Heshi in front of Teacher's picture before beginning her journey and said some things. When her aunt asked her what she said, she replied that she would tell her after returning from Beijing.
