(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. My whole family practices. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the inhuman persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999. During the past ten years, I have been detained and sentenced to forced labor on multiple occasions. In spite of this persecution, I've maintained my Fa validation activities and always prioritize the Falun Dafa principles above everything else.
My daughter received interference from the evil forces and stopped practicing Falun Gong. I was quite worried, and didn't know what to do at first. She was pregnant at the time, and living with me. I thought, “The evil CCP persecutes Falun Gong, so I should begin exposing them.” I started reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to my daughter with my husband, and little by little her mind cleared up. She asked, “What is the book you're reading? How come I've never heard of it?” After that, she started reading the book and in the end, recovered from the evil interference.
My daughter resumed her study of the Falun Dafa teachings. I realized that her MP3 player was gone, and asked her what happened to it; she replied that it her husband broke it. I asked, “Why didn't you tell me?” She replied, “What's the use?” I said, “I can help you by sending righteous thoughts to save him. We are mother and daughter, but more importantly, we're fellow practitioners. To me, the relationship as fellow practitioners is even more important than mother and daughter.”
My son-in-law is a captain of an aquatics group. He used to have a tumor by his ear, and had it surgically removed. When he told me about it, I said, “It was cured on the superficial level, but in fact, its root is still there.” I told him a story about Ji Gong: “One day, Ji Gong saw a rich man with a big tumor on his neck. He told the man, 'In order for your tumor to be cured, you must do good things for others. The tumor is due to the bad deeds you committed in the past. The tumor will be cured only if you get rid of the root cause.' Later, after seeing poor people on the verge of starving to death he opened up his granary for the poor to eat for free. His tumor disappeared. Nevertheless, he later returned to what he was like before, becoming selfish and greedy again. Before long, his tumor returned. The rich man realized in the end that Ji Gong was right.” My son-in-law didn't believe the story. The following year, his tumor re-appeared and I said to him, “You broke the MP3 player used to study the Fa. You should express your sincere regret. He believed me, and followed my suggestion. Then, his tumor disappeared. Later, his mother suffered from a blood clot in her brain and went into a coma. He whispered “Falun Dafa is good” into her ear, and she woke up. Now, she can walk on her own and cook again.
Through constant study of the Fa, I've realized that saving people is the most important thing to do. Whenever I learn that someone has a dangerous disease, I help them to look for the underlying reasons by clarifying the truth to them.
I had another experience after I was forced to leave home and flee to my hometown. A six year-old child suffered from a pollen allergy - he was even allergic to grass. Medical treatments didn't help and he couldn't go to school. I started clarifying the truth to him and his mother. I asked them what they thought about Falun Gong, especially after seeing all the propaganda on TV. His mother said, “We believed it and said bad things about Falun Gong. After listening to you, we know that we were wrong.” I asked them to apologize to Teacher. They did, then the child's disease was cured.
There was a middle school student who fainted during the high school entrance examination, and his mind seemed to be dysfunctional after that. His mother asked me for help. I asked, “When the school held the signature collection campaign to denounce Falun Gong, did your son join it?” She said yes, so I started clarifying the truth to her. Later, her son published a solemn declaration, renouncing his actions against Falun Gong. Then, his mind was restored to normal functioning.
I have an orchard that is over a thousand square meters in size. The peaches, pears and apples all grow more exuberantly than those in other orchards. There was excessive rain this year, so everybody's sweet potatoes are growing long vines instead of sweet potatoes. Mine has lots of vines too, but there are many big sweet potatoes underneath them that are envied by others. Someone dug some soil from my field, thinking that my soil must be special and better than the rest. In a word, it is Dafa that gave me these blessings. Beautiful udumbara flowers once grew on my clothesline. I think that this is Teacher encouraging me to save more people.
October 23, 2010 was a sunny, clear day in my town, and many people went sailing. However, a storm rapidly set in and lasted over 40 minutes, which according to the local media, caused damage totaling 800 million yuan. A practitioner's son was sailing but was not injured, however, the majority of those sailing that day died. After that event, I realized that my truth clarification hadn't reached my real goal. I could have saved more people if I'd done better.
I am illiterate, and spend most of my time listening to Teacher's lectures. I send righteous thoughts and clarify the truth everywhere I go. Recently I've been staying at my son's home. One day, someone knocked on the door and I felt nervous. I knew that this was due to my attachment of fear. It could also be due to my thought karma, leading to demonic interference from my own mind. Realizing this, I tried to eliminate it by studying the Fa.
I've waited thousands of years for this opportunity. Nothing can hold me back or block my path. I must cultivate myself well and follow Teacher on the path of returning home.
