(Clearwisdom.net) As I wrote about my experience sharing, my cultivation course unfolded in front of my eyes.

I am 45 years old and was a very capable professional woman. In 1996 my husband learned Falun Gong. In order to support him in practicing the exercises, I basically undertook all the housework. I helped him and other practitioners by bringing back copies of Zhuan Falun and other books while I was on errands in other parts of the country. My husband often talked to me about the words Teacher said in Zhuan Falun. My son was a little practitioner. Sometimes I helped my son read the Fa. My husband asked me to follow what Teacher said in Zhuan Falun.

In the summer of 1996 when I was processing some transactions at work I found that one of our clients had overpaid by three thousand yuan. I took the initiative to return the money. The manager of that company was very much moved. I explained to him, "My husband is a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Gong teaches people to be good, do good deeds and not do anything bad. I only did what Dafa requires us to do." This manager sighed with emotion, "I didn't know Falun Gong was that good!"

In 1997 when I sent a consignment to Beijing the other side requested 1,600 yuan in compensation owing to the poor quality. However, my boss didn't agree to the compensation, so I paid the amount with my own money but didn't tell the other side about it. Later when this company did business with our company again, the manager of the company learned from the accountant that my company didn't pay that compensation so he asked me why I had paid it. I told them, "My husband is a Falun Gong practitioner and the Falun Gong books state very clearly that when encountering problems we must think from the perspective of the opposite side, and we must treat other people well. I sent the consignment. Since it had a quality problem it meant that I was responsible. My company didn't want to pay but I wouldn't want your company to loose money." The manager took out 800 yuan and said, "Younger sister, I returned half of the money. Since Falun Dafa is that good I will befriend you, a family member of a Falun Dafa practitioner. Please tell your husband he's got a elder brother in Beijing, who would forever support him. Thank you! Thank Falun Gong!" He then told me that he had a very close relative who was a high ranking official in the central government.

I also returned all the benefits I could think of that I gained from my work relations. When the clients asked for the reason I simply told them that I knew Falun Dafa was good so I was following Teacher's requirements as my standards.

One day when I was knitting in the lounge and my husband was listening to Teacher's Fa lectures in the bedroom I saw Teacher come in on a lotus flower and look at me with a smile. I yelled at my husband, "Come here, hurry up! Your Teacher is here at our home!" My husband came to the lounge and asked, "Where? Where? How come I can't see?" He said, "You have such a great predestined relationship. I study the Fa and practice the exercises every day, but I couldn't see anything. You are able to see Teacher come to our home on a lotus. Maybe Teacher helped you to open your third eye." From that point on I could see a lot of things in the other dimensions whether my eyes were open or closed. I saw Falun, mountains and lakes, flowers and grass, elegant buildings such as pavilions, terraces, and towers as well as ancient people...

On the morning of July 22, 1999, practitioners from my husband's Fa study group said they would go to Beijing to safeguard the Fa. I arranged for a car, brought five thousand yuan, some food and necessities, and accompanied him to Beijing together with our son.

In Tiananmen Square, numerous plainclothes officers checked the pedestrians. We avoided the checking and walked from Tiananmen to Fuyou Street. A taxi driver asked us if we were practitioners. He said if we were we shouldn't tell the plainclothes officers. He told us that the cars parked on the right were used to take practitioners from other parts of the country to Daxing County where they were all detained. Upon hearing that we walked back to Di'anmen Gate and it was about three o'clock. We heard the loud speaker broadcast news about the ban of Falun Gong and other slanderous contents. We were very much shocked. What was wrong? We returned to Tiananmen Square and sat there in silence. In the evening the police from our local police department and the leaders from my husband's work unit found us and took us to the Tiananmen Square Police Station. Many practitioners were detained there. They came from all over the country. These practitioners told the police that the things on the television were all fake stuff and our Teacher was innocent. My 5-year old son told the police that he was a practitioner and had practiced Falun Gong for two years. The police held up my son and said this child was very brave. He gave my son something to eat.

In the evening we were forcibly taken back to where we live and were detained at my husband's workplace. We were not allowed to go to bed and were forced to watch TV programs that slandered Falun Gong. On the following day we were sent to a brainwashing center guarded by the armed police. I witnessed how the evildoers torture the practitioners. They tied the steadfast practitioners with ropes and locked them in iron cages where they could not even stand straight. They were not allowed to eat or drink, and they were not allowed to use the toilet. What they were suffering was totally inhuman.

Coming back from the brainwashing center my husband who was inhumanly tortured and was terrorized by the high pressure. He began to be in low spirits and hesitated. One day when my husband lay in bed and looked very unhappy, I saw three shining golden characters "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" as well as big Falun. I told my husband right away, "You should not disbelieve in Dafa. What's on television is nothing but lies." My husband jumped out of the bed instantly and his will became strong. From then on I told him what I saw. I saw tiny Buddhas on my husband and son, and their bodies were all transparent. This greatly strengthened his confidence.

From 2000 to 2001 the evildoers ransacked our home three times and stole over one hundred thousand yuan in cash.

The harassment was continuous. In order to protect my husband I closed the door on the evildoers every time they came, and didn't let them see my husband. One day a staff worker from my husband's work unit came and asked him to fill out a form about Falun Gong. I didn't let her in. She shouted abuses when she went downstairs, "Do you know who I am? I have never had anyone dare to treat me like this. Aren't you ashamed to practice Falun Gong? Because of that the police will come to see you frequently. Only if you are really capable and can make the CCP collapse will you win. Otherwise I will not let up on you. I will report to xx leader and have her teach you a lesson." It was evening, the time people were coming home from work, and her yelling attracted the attention of many people. I was not that kind to her and replied through the window, "I warn you. No matter who you are, what you have done is illegal and not above board! You are not in the position to demand that I listen to you. We do not steal nor rob! We do not murder people nor commit arson! We work hard and try to be good people. We have not provoked anyone. As for practicing Falun Gong or not, that is our own business. Whether the CCP collapses or not has nothing to do with us. What you have done severely affected our normal work and life, which hurt us greatly so I do not want see you again." The onlookers all said it was stupid for the evildoers to come to bother people. Under the accusations from all present she left with her tail between her legs.

My husband said, "You have sacrificed so much for me!" I said, "Your Teacher is being wrongly accused. You can't just sit by and watch. A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime, therefore, you are duty-bound to restore your Teacher's innocence. Since they won't let you to go to Beijing to appeal, let's clarify the truth to our relatives, friends as well and other people we know. Since you and I are of one family, I will help you."

Later I quit my job and used a lot of time to clarify the truth. I distributed the truth-clarification materials wherever I went, be it the city or countryside. I wanted only that my husband would not feel that he had let Teacher down.

One day in 2002, the newly appointed head of the local 610 Office and the newly appointed head of the police department came to my home looking for my husband. I refused their entry, but they employed our neighbors to watch our home. One day when my husband went to visit his relative he was reported by the neighbor. The police arrested my husband at his relatives' home and detained him at the police department. I rushed to the police department to look for the director that evening and got my husband back at around 2 o'clock in the early morning.

However, the police department dispatched the police from the criminal division and mobilized a dozen or so police cars to come to our home. They forcibly took me to the Political and Security Section of the police department. They tried to force me to swear at Teacher and Falun Dafa, and write my understandings about Falun Gong. I told them, "By beating me you violated the law when you were enforcing it. Swearing is not ethical conduct. If you really want me to swear I will swear at you. How many times you have ransacked my home and how much property you have extorted from us? You are bandits! You are rascals." They were very angry and reported this to their boss, "She is more stubborn than Falun Gong practitioners." On the following day they held me at a detention center.

In the detention center I met three practitioners. They recited the Fa for me and taught me to recite Hong Yin. I wrote more than twenty pages on how Falun Gong and I were persecuted and asked the police to present it to the Political and Security Section.

Two months later two of the practitioners had been sentenced to forced labor and the third was transferred to another detention center. I didn't know what to do. At the time I didn't know what was "Fa-rectification" and what was "validating the Fa." I thought to myself and concluded that "Fa-rectification" meant letting all the people at the detention center including the prison guards and inmates to know Falun Dafa is good. I would go home after I rectified the Fa. Therefore I bought some letter paper and began writing how good Falun Gong was and how the evildoers had persecuted Falun Gong. I exposed the crimes of persecution by the people as high as the then president Jiang Zemin to the local 610 Officeand the Political and Security Section of the police department. I gave it to the head of the detention center, prison guards and inmates alike to read. They were all willing to read these writings so I wrote every day. The three practitioners taught me sending forth the righteous thoughts and said, "You sacrificed a lot for your husband who is a practitioner, Teacher will certainly take care of you." I only knew how to recite two poems:

"A Great Enlightened One fears no hardship
Having forged an adamantine will
Free of attachment to living or dying
He walks the path of Fa-rectification
confident and poised"
("Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions" from Hong Yin Vol. II)

Predestined ties of countless lifetimes
Each has Dafa as its guiding thread
'Tis in hardship the golden body is tempered
Why such slow and leisurely steps?
("The Difficult Path to Godhood" from Hong Yin Vol. II)

I recited these two poems and sent forth righteous thoughts. I saw a lot of dark minions, rotten ghosts and many warped lives disintegrate instantly. Sometimes when I failed to eliminate them I sent out Falun and they were instantly smashed by the Falun. One day I saw a warped life put the detention center director into a dark place. I pulled him out and transported him to a safer place (this director supports Falun Dafa).

Since I wrote truth-clarification materials every day, several directors and prison guards knew that Falun Dafa was good. At meal time when inmates delivered the meal to the cell I was in we all shouted "Falun Dafa is good." I was released in about twenty days.

In 2003, officers from the National Security Division arrested me and took me to a brainwashing center. I tore the "examination paper" into pieces. The head of the 610 Office and the deputy head of the police department flared into rage. Two officers took me to a the detention center. Since I refused to write the so-call "understanding" personnel from the police department and the National Security Division tortured me in an unprecedented way. I was then sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor.

In 2004, when I was released from the forced labor camp I suffered from amnesia as a result of torture. I couldn't think of anything and was unable to recognize anyone. When I went shopping I didn't even know how to spend money. Returning to work was impossible. My husband and son looked very remote to me. When looking down from the upstairs the cars looked like like tiny turtles and people moved like very small animals. I didn't even know how to use a telephone.

One day when I entered the kitchen and planned to do some cooking I couldn't tell which was the Chinese cabbage. I thought to myself that I could not go on like that. Just at that time a strength enabled me to shout, "I am a student of Teacher Li Hongzhi. I do not want any other arrangements!" Instantly I became clearheaded again. I was able to think of clearly, and everything returned back to normal.

Thereafter, I used a lot of time to study Zhuan Falun and I began learning what to do. I saw the scene when I signed the vow with Teacher and I knew my responsibilities. Therefore I distributed a lot of truth-clarification materials in efforts to save more sentient beings.

One winter day I went to the village where one of my relatives lives to distribute truth-clarification materials. It was dusk, and dogs kept barking. I had one thought in mind, "I am a disciple of Teacher Li Hongzhi. I came here to save sentient beings, therefore no dog should bark no matter where I go in the village." All the dogs then stopped barking and remained silent. It was 4:00 in the early morning, I successfully finished distributing more than 4,000 copies of truth-clarification materials.

In validating the Fa and saving sentient beings sometimes my human heart would emerge, and I would think, "Why am I the one always distributing the truth-clarification materials? Why should I sacrifice more than others?" At that time my husband would always say, "You have more responsibilities so you should do it this way." I agreed with him. When I was an everyday person I had no complaints whatsoever in suffering hardships while supporting Falun Dafa. Now I am a practitioner, so why would I care so much about personal gain and loss? My mission was to help Teacher rectify the Fa.

In 2006, with help from practitioners who were good with computers, I set up a truth-clarification materials processing site at my home to reduce the burden on fellow practitioners. We were quietly doing the Fa validation work. One day it was raining hard, but it was time for me to deliver the truth-clarification materials to fellow practitioners. I hesitated for a while and then wrapped up the material, put on a raincoat and walk out. When I got to the appointed site the other practitioner was already there. Upon seeing me she said, "I knew you would come." We laughed and felt the happiness melt in the Fa.

With the improvement in xinxing we realized the importance of having printing sites spring up everywhere and blossom all over the place. I helped other practitioners to set up materials production sites. During the process I encountered many obstacles and sometimes I had to beg Teacher for help. Each time I was able to solve the problem smoothly.

With firm belief in Teacher and the Fa, I steadfastly helped other practitioners set up many truth-clarification materials sites. Now all these sites are working smoothly.

These are some of my cultivation stories. Please kindly help me understand any shortcomings I may have.
