(Minghui.org) I am a 75-year-old woman living in the countryside. I never went to school. Prior to cultivation, I often had spine and back pain. I was virtually disabled and relied on drugs.
Fortunate to acquire Falun Dafa
In July 1996 I met a fellow villager who said she practiced Falun Gong and that its magical health benefits had made her well. Seeing her glowing face and raised spirit, I decided to give it a try. My husband acquired a copy of Zhuan Falun for me and I started to practice Falun Gong.
I could feel that Master gave me a Falun law wheel. I felt so comfortable holding the wheel in the second exercise and had no problem at all sitting in the lotus position. Since I could not read, I was very anxious to know what the book talked about. I tried to remember every single word when others read it out loud. My husband also taught me after I came home. Master saw my eagerness to learn and helped me, so I quickly learned to read Zhuan Falun. Now I can also recite Hong Yin.
Master saved my life
All my health problems disappeared with Fa study and the exercises. I could keep up with the laborers in the field. I am very grateful to Master and shared my own beneficial experiences with everyone I encountered. I often went out with other practitioners to practice or spread the Fa. I actively participated in group study, including experience sharing.
My husband and children witnessed my progress after I began to cultivate, and they all supported me. I was very happy in those days. Once I dislocated one of my arms. My family forced me to go to a hospital, so I studied Fa in bed. I could see through my third eye that Master covered my wound with his hand and helped me clean it up. As a result, there were no complications.
Another time I was thrown from a car and was unconscious for more than half an hour. When I came to, I felt like I had taken a nap. I went home after getting up. I know that this was a time when my life was in danger. It was Master who protected me, and I repaid a huge debt and eliminated karma.
On July 20, 1999, the Jiang Zemin-led communist regime started persecuting Falun Gong. Lies blotted out the sky. Faced with the persecution, I was fearless and walked firmly on the path of Fa-rectification. Though there was no exercise spot and no group practice environment, I cultivated and studied at home. Later on, all the practitioners in my village gave up, and I am the only one left. I still cultivate and have strong faith in Master and Dafa.
I volunteered to deliver truth clarification information to our area, from one village to another. At first, I dared not take the main road but walked in the woods. Later on, with a peaceful mind, I chose to take the main road. I didn’t know how to ride a bike, so I just walked.
Light on a dark road
Prior to cultivation I was less adventurous. I dared not go out by myself in the evening. After cultivating, I often went out by myself at night to distribute materials. So many magical things happened under Master’s merciful protection. One time I was distributing materials in nearby villages. It was very bright out, and there were people walking around. I thought how nice it would be if all the lights went off. All the lights went off in less than a minute.
Sometimes I distributed the materials in the evening. I could barely figure out which way to go when it got really dark. It happened several times on my return trip that a flashlight seemed to light up the road for me. I assumed someone else was on the road. The light disappeared when I reached home. When I looked back, there was no one. I realized that it was Master who had helped me. As I became more experienced spreading the materials, I became braver. At first I did not dare to distribute the information when someone was around. Later on I would not hide when I bumped into someone. I would do it gracefully, because Dafa disciples are doing the greatest things in the universe.
Fearlessly telling the truth
I realized that walking wasted too much time when I did things for Dafa, so I bought an electric bike, and I ride it to distribute materials.
I tell the facts wherever I go and to whomever I meet. It does not matter whether the person is a secretary, a Party member, or an ordinary person, because all of them are looking for salvation. I also bump into those who do not listen to the truth and some who want to report me. My experience is that if you do not fear, the offender would fear you.
Once I saw a car parked alongside the road. I felt that I needed to talk to the people in the car and went to greet them. It happened that they were from a police station specifically in charge of [persecuting] Falun Gong. They said, “Ma'am, you are really brave. Let’s go.” I didn’t have any fear but smiled as I said, “Even the head of the county Party committee withdrew from the Party. All I do is to help you to save your life, regardless of whether or not you are from a police station.” They wanted to grab my bag that held the materials, but I didn't let them. I got on my electric bike and rode away. A bad outcome was avoided.
One practices, the whole family benefits
My daughter witnessed my changes through cultivation. Even though she has not practiced yet, she believes in Dafa and supports me. My grandson often helped me to distribute materials, and my husband does, too. He also explains the facts. One time when the evildoers destroyed a nearby material production site, that area didn’t have any informational materials for a long time, so I took the responsibility to distribute materials. My husband and nephew accompanied me. We did this until a new site was established.
One winter my daughter was poisoned by coal gas and went into a coma. The doctors said that her life was threatened. It turned out that she was all right and didn’t have any side effects. Master protected her.
My grandson also experienced a misfortune. He was hit by a car that ran over him. When he woke up he said, “Master, save me.” He fully recovered after being hospitalized for several days.
Returning home with Master
Now I have a small business. I go to the market every day to tell people the facts and offer more people salvation. My husband often goes with me. My income as small business owner is not bad. I know that the money I earn is given by Master and must be used for Dafa. My husband and family members also actively support me to use the money on Falun Gong materials.
I fully realize that it is Master who lifted me up from hell and Master that gave me a second life. I will strive forward vigorously, do the three things well, and offer more people salvation.
