(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Gong on August 20, 1997. I regard this day as my second birthday, or a day of rebirth. Because of Dafa, I was freed of my diseases and became healthy; because of Dafa, I know how to look inward in conflicts; because of Dafa, I can be tolerant and kind when others bully me or take something that is mine; because of Dafa, I learned how to think of others before acting; because of Dafa, I understand what genuine kindness is and what genuine good and evil are; because of Dafa, I know that the true purpose of being a human is to return to one's original state, etc. Master said that we are Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period, which is the holiest acclaim in the cosmos. Master gives us the most precious things in the world. Therefore, I am the happiest and richest life in the cosmos.
Studying the Fa well, sending righteous thoughts, and clarifying the truth have become positive habits in my daily life. They are a must, because I made a predestined vow and I must honor it. Master opens some memory of my previous life to encourage me, and I have seen in a dream, myself coming down with Teacher to the human world. Master's mercy urges me to strive forward. Every time I recall the dream, I can't help being moved to tears. I often call out in my mind, “Master, I miss you very, very much. But I know that only if I do the three things well can I live up to Master's merciful saving, can I honor my vow, and can I follow Master to return home.”
Since I began practicing, I have cooperated with one practitioner in particular in doing Dafa work. We have different personalities, and sometimes have conflicts with each other. However, when we distribute informational materials or clarify the truth, we immediately make up and forget what happened before. I think this is the magic of tolerance. We once saw a man and a woman sitting on a stone bench and approached them to clarify the truth. The man said his leg had been fractured and fixed with steel pins. I said, “Sir, please say 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' It will help.” My partner agreed, “That is true. Many people who had cancer were cured by saying 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'” He refused, “No, no. I can't say that.” I said, “Sir, maybe you don't know what Falun Dafa really is. The self-immolation incident and suicide was staged. It was fabricated to defame Falun Gong and to get people to hate Falun Gong. If people really burned themselves to death after practicing Falun Gong, who would dare practice it? Nobody would—even if you paid them. But Falun Gong has now spread to more than 100 countries worldwide. Because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes Falun Gong, we want to let more people know the truth. Once people read the Falun Gong books or talk with Falun Gong practitioners, they will know that the truth is totally different from what the CCP has said. Falun Gong is cultivation practice, and its practitioners must good people. Many people began practicing Falun Gong after the persecution.”
We then described many of the loopholes in the self-immolation video. Finally we mentioned the “three withdrawals.” The man said, “I joined the CCP when I was a student, and now I am...well, I can't tell you who I am.” Based on his behavior, I guessed that he might be a leader in the security department, and the woman was his health aide. I said, “You may be a high-level official and have a lot of money. But if you suffer from diseases and have to hire someone to look after you, you have to bear the suffering by yourself, right? Who else can bear your suffering? When the CCP needs you, you are an official. But if it doesn't need you anymore, you will immediately be deprived of power. You should have a renewing personal experience. Do the 'three withdrawals' from the bottom of your heart.” He said, “Will others report me?” I said, “No. If you don't talk about it, no one will know.” He said, “I will ask you two questions. Where do you get the money to print the materials? And how about the CDs?” I explained, “We saved the money to do this from our daily expenses. We just do this for others and advise people to withdraw from the CCP organizations and choose a bright future. We also hope you will have a bright future. How about I do the 'three withdrawals' for you with aliases?” The man and his aide nodded in grateful anticipation.
On a separate occasion, I saw an older man reading an advertisement on the side of the road. I said, “Sir, I can tell that you are well-educated with high social status. I'd like to give you a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, the true history of the CCP.” After he took the book, he read, “A judgment of the CCP. Judgment? Who dares to judge the CCP? What company publishes this book?” I said, “The Epoch Times does.” He said, “Why haven't I ever heard of it?” I said, “You will know after you read it.” He said, “I see. This is a comment from the perspective of a third party. OK, I will read it carefully.” Then he left. I was very happy. I know that if he read it, he would be likely to do the “three withdrawals.”
My partner and I now have a schedule of a half-day studying the Fa and a half-day clarifying the truth. One day we planned to clarify the truth in the morning, but the weather forecast predicted rain and heavy winds. I was worried and said to the sky, “Lord of the Heavens, please don't rain. If you planned to rain and blow in the morning, can you change it to night time? Dafa disciples need time to save people. If it rains, people won't want to go out.” It didn't rain during the day, but it rained and blew during the entire night.
Many miracles have appeared in my 14 years of practicing Falun Dafa, and my family and friends also benefit from Dafa. I am proud to be a Dafa disciple, a disciple in the Fa-rectification period. This is the most sacred honor in the cosmos. I should do the three things well to honor my vow, live up to sentient beings' expectations, and live up to the great honor granted by Master.
