A Small Story of Having Righteous Thoughts in My Cultivation Practice

August 08, 2006 |   By a Falun Gong practitioner from Taiwan

(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in 2002.

Last September, my denture molars, placed 34 years ago, started to loosen and I couldn’t chew food with them. Therefore, I went to see a dentist. Originally, I thought that it just needed to be stuck back in. However, the doctor took x-ray pictures and the results showed that the denture was broken and needed to be extracted. A replacement denture would cost 20 thousand Taiwanese dollars (about 650 US dollars). I told the dentist that I had to think about it. On my way home, I thought, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. With firm belief in Teacher and Dafa, nobody is worthy of testing me." With this thought, I decided to leave it alone. After more than 10 days, while I was sending forth righteous thoughts, the root of one denture molar was moving. After several seconds, another one was also moving. It seemed that I was anesthetized without any painful feeling, yet the force on my denture molars was very large. I knew that Teacher was helping me. I was moved and tears filled my eyes. Now, my denture molars have been tightly stuck back in. Teacher mentioned in "Hong Yin II",

"When disciples have ample righteous thoughts

Master has the power to turn back the tide " (from The Master-Disciple Bond)

Before practicing Falun Gong, I was a shy and unconfident person. My company wanted to use computers to record all the purchases and sales accounts. I had a hard time learning how to use a computer. In the end I resigned since I couldn’t learn how to operate the computer. Now, in order to clarify the truth and save sentient beings, I am able to use the computer to chat with Chinese people on the Internet. Also, I work with a team to encourage people resign from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

On New Year’s Day, I had the chance to watch fellow practitioners playing the waist drums. The vigorous and complex movements and high spirits really encouraged my desire to participate. I told a fellow practitioner by my side, "It would be wonderful if we could join the waist drum team!" The fellow practitioner said, "I couldn't imagine being able to do that!"

Master says,

"It is because a practitioner is most precious, for he or she wants to practice cultivation. Therefore, developing this thought is most precious. In Buddhism, people talk about Buddha-nature. When a person's Buddha-nature emerges, the enlightened beings are able to help him." (Zhuan Falun)

How true. While I was attending a one-day group study in March, the contact person told us that there was an opportunity for us to join the waist drum team. Seven of us from the same group practice location joined the waist drum team. However, learning to play the waist drum was really a big test for us. After a couple of practices, several of us wanted to quit. I told them to treat the drum practice as cultivation, and we could validate Dafa at the same time. While overcoming a tribulation, we have to remember Master’s words, "When it's difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it's impossible to do, you can do it." With this in mind, we all stayed and participated in two Fa-validation activities. The feeling was really good. The intention of my story is not to show myself off, I just want to explain that nothing can stop us if we maintain our righteous thoughts.
