(Clearwisdom.net) My experience sharing is about improving xinxing in difficult environments and how to utilize the wisdom obtained through Dafa to solve problems at work.

In 2000, through a relative's recommendation, I was hired as an independent contractor for a large corporation. There were three of us working on the contracted project. Because they believed that my education level was too low, I was assigned to manage logistical support while they would handle the technical aspect of the project.

However, because their techniques were not fully developed, progress was affected. I realized that if we followed their way, it would be difficult for us to succeed. I became very worried since I was not managing the technical part. Six months passed and the investment was ten thousand yuan a day, but we could not make any economic improvements for the company. The chairman of the board was very anxious and had a meeting to search for solutions. Nobody could find a solution and each one of them bowed his head in silence. I thought to myself that I am a Dafa practitioner and should think for the benefit of others. In order to avoid more losses, I stood up and took over the technical part of the project.

I only had an education equivalent to a 2nd grade elementary level. I never learned complicated engineering techniques, but Dafa has granted me wisdom. Ordinary people could only see one point but I was able to look at things from an overall level. Just as Master said,

“After the Celestial Eye is open, one can see from one side, simultaneously, four sides of a human body. One can see the rear, the left and the right from the front. One can see one layer after another or see beyond this dimension the fundamental cause of an illness.” (Zhuan Falun).

Even though my celestial eye had not been opened, no matter how complicated a problem was, I was able to find the main cause by just looking at the problem and thinking for a little bit. I then came up with a solution. I gathered the workers and showed them the specific methods in detail, then taught them one on one. However they did not believe my methods would work and would not accept them. I told them, “I am in charge. If there is any problem when you follow my method I will take responsibility. If you refuse to follow orders then you will be responsible for all the consequences.” Everyone was afraid to lose any more money, so they carried out my methods. To their surprise, the difficult problems were solved easily, the project made major progress and made 20 million yuan profit in one year.

Master said,

“When Dafa disciples do something, it is never solely for that one thing. With whatever you do, you need to consider the present as well as the future, and you need to consider the task itself as well as anything related to it. Right now this cultural format is being used to save people and validate the Fa, but won't this format be left to the future? Won't it be given to the people of the future to follow?” (Fa Teaching at the 2009 Greater New York International Fa Conference).

In managing the project, I set the rules and regulations related to the project, including the worker's clothes, dining and living quarters and I set a good example for them in every aspect. I also left the workers a complete technical system to carry out the project. However I did not pass on my techniques to the corrupt manager of the corporation. They had no idea what was involved with my techniques. One year later, the chief manager laid off all the workers whom I had educated and worked with, in the name of efficiency. Later on when those workers worked for another company and applied my techniques, the company leader was greatly surprised and said, “Where did you learn this technique?! It is so advanced that we have never heard this before!” Those workers were being sought out by companies all across the country, and they were given the best and most honors. The technique that I invented was utilized by the entire field.

The profit of the project improved and then came the conflict. The board of directors began having doubts about me since I managed the financial part of the project as well. They formed a three-person team to audit the accounts. I was not affected in the least when I heard the news. The audit team was in our office for several days and then they reported to the board of the directors. There were no problems whatsoever; not a single penny was off on the books. Nobody in the upper levels of the corporation believed that it was possible: "There is someone in society that is not corrupt?" They assumed that I bribed the audit team and so they hired some other agents to audit the books. The second result was the same as the first. They told my relative who had recommended me, “Your relative is a strange person, how come his books have no problems?” My relative told them, “You do not need to worry about him, he practices Falun Gong and always thinks of others and he would not take a penny of yours.”

The news quickly spread to the corporation. Those corrupt managers wanted to hurt me. They respected me but also resented me. They respected me because I was the only one could handle the complex technical problems and ma,e a profit for the company; they also resented me because they were all after more money. However, I would not be moved whatsoever. They wanted to obtain something extra but couldn't, so they planned to harm me.

One day, they invited me for a meal and I happily attended. After just one bite of the food, the company's second in command slapped his hand hard on the table and questioned me: “Do you practice Falun Gong?” I replied, “Yes, isn't it a wonderful practice!” He said, “Falun Gong is against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP); it is a cult.” I explained to him, “Falun Gong teaches people to be kind and guides people to be good.” We went back and forth, but he would not listen to any reasoning and only used the CCP's slanderous language and even threatened to sent me to jail. I could no longer reason with him and said, “You have not read Zhuan Falun and thus you do not know anything about Falun Gong; I practice Falun Gong and abide by the principles of the Fa. Tell me, in what way have I not done well?” They could not find any fault and became quiet. The chief manager stood up to smooth things out: “OK, OK, none of you should bring this up again.” From that day on, they thought they had caught me [doing something wrong] and they searched for the “evidence” on a daily basis. They secretly checked my belongings to see whether I had Dafa books or not. I carry Zhuan Falun in my pocket daily and never put it down anywhere.

The cultivation environment was rough. I lived in a dormitory and could not exercise there. I would go out at midnight to exercise in the field with nobody around. One winter the snow was knee-high and I went and cleaned out a place and began my meditation. No matter whether it was the frigid winter or hot summer, raining or storming, I exercised daily. Thanks to Master's great Fa and protection, I was able to walk through the most difficult environment.

In order to withstand the temptations of fame, various benefits and sentimentality, I intensified my Fa study. I dared not to deviate from the Fa at all with my thoughts or deeds. After I arranged the work during the day I would find a place with nobody around to study the Fa, I studied more at night. I learned the Fa by heart often. I memorized Hong Yin and Lunyu. I would recite “Tempering the Will” from Hong Yin hundreds of times a day.

One time, a relative came to visit me. He was afraid that they would persecute me and insisted on taking my Zhuan Falun home with him for safekeeping. Feeling that I had no choice, I let him carry the book and saw him out. When I turned back around, I found my copy of Zhuan Falun right at my bed side where I always keep it! I knew it was Master who took my book back. I keep the Fa firmly in my heart and mind, abide by the principles and keep improving my xinxing. The Fa eliminated all evil and firmed my righteous thoughts and saved all sentient beings that came into contact with me.

During the year of my contract, I was in charge of purchasing. The project had a cost of ten thousand yuan a day. The vendors all wanted me to purchase their products and tried to use the ordinary people's way of bribing me, such as providing female companions, taking me to hot springs or giving me commissions. I turned all of them down. On one business trip, several co-workers deliberately stopped the car at a hotel that provides prostitutes and all of them, include the driver, went in. I did not know how to drive the car and had no choice but to stay. When I was ready to sleep at night, two girls in their twenties broke into my room, did not say anything, but came came over to me and started to caress my body. I did not react at all and they became more aggressive until I replied, “Stop. I am not interested.” They then left disappointed. My co-workers saw that I was unmoved so they took a prostitute into my room and began their indecent act. I then covered my head with the blanket and did not hear anything. I remembered that I am a cultivator at every moment. We cultivators value virtue and refuse to be contaminated by the dye vat of ordinary society.

Soon my contract was over and the corporation laid everyone off and changed to new contractors. I was the only one who stayed on as an advisory counselor. I knew that it was arranged by Master. This was my cultivation environment and I would continue to cultivate in this complicated and tough environment, temper my will and get rid of various attachments.

I worked as a consultant in an advisory capacity for three years. Each year there were different people contracted to different projects. I was required to handle the technical part. When the project succeeded, they took over and never mentioned my name. When I ran into a problem, they took pleasure in my troubles. The management did not do much at all throughout the year but just enjoy life. By the end of year, they would get thousands of yuan in bonus money and I got nothing. It was a serious test to rid me of my attachments to reputation and personal benefits. I was still not affected. I knew that I am a cultivator and the standard is Dafa.

In those several years, beside attachments to reputation, profit and affection, my forbearance was also tempered. I was able to take a step back during conflicts and indeed found the seas and the skies boundless. One time, one our machines broke down and the provider refused to repair it, forcing us to stop the work, which affected the outcome. The repairman came and explained everything to me. I asked him to verify this when the board of directors inquired about the incident and he agreed. Several days later, the corporation had a general meeting where the chairman questioned the contractors and the manager as to why the job had stopped. They cunningly avoided the question and no one gave a direct answer. When he asked me, I told him the truth. He wanted evidence, so I told him to ask the repairman but the repairman changed his story, stating that there was no problem with the machine and totally repudiated my statement. If I insisted that they take a look of the machine, the contractor and all related personnel wound have been fired on the spot. I remembered what Master said, “take a step back in a conflict, you will find the seas and the skies boundless”. I did not insist, since they are ordinary people. The result did then change. The provider and company representative purchased the part the next day and repaired the machine. Even though I protected those who involved, they did not thank me but instead resented me for speaking the truth.

I faced such conflicts numerous times. I have the Fa within me and view those ordinary people's insults, ridicule and even sabotage, as games and am not moved by them. Using the Fa as my guide, I cultivated away various attachments including attachments to reputation, personal gain and sentimentality.

In order to pursue more profit, the corporation purchased more advanced machinery to replace workers. None of the contractors knew the advanced techniques and the company again returned to the state of no seeing profit. Again they had a meeting, where the chairman questioned the contractors and managers for solutions to resolve the problem. Everyone dropped his head down without a word. Finally the chairman asked me in a humble voice to see if I had any ideas. Dafa granted me wisdom once again. I explained how to use this machinery to carry out the project and wrote out the solution on the blackboard. They calculated the data with a computer and after I finished, the results from the computer were also ready. There was no discrepancy between my calculations and the computer's. Once again, the project continued smoothly.

When I finished that project, I began missing my fellow practitioners back home who are sincere and down to earth. I bid farewell to my job and returned home to continue doing what I should do.
