A Key to Open All Locks

All Buddha Statues Turned into Rubble in an Instant

I once considered myself a Buddhist, though I never understood what cultivation really meant. Then in 1995, my mother gave me the book Zhuan Falun and told me that the book can save sentient beings. She also told me that as long as you study Dafa, Master will help you, and that no religion can save sentient beings, only Master can.

I politely accepted the book and immediately started reading. The day I finished reading the book, my body began to be purified. While practicing the exercises, I suddenly felt as if my body had disappeared, and my mind became blank. I was unaware of anything, but when I awoke from this state, I felt that all my illnesses had disappeared. Compassionate Master eliminated all my illnesses so quickly.

I always ride my bicycle when I go out. However, I lost my bike twice, two days in a row. Two bicycles gone. I wondered if Master was trying to tell me not to rely on the bicycle for transportation. So I started walking to work every day. I was able to walk very fast and felt almost as if I could fly. My body was as light as a feather. I felt Law Wheels turning all over my body. One day while practicing the second exercise, I clearly saw a Tai-Ji (yin yang) on my lower abdomen (this is a portion of the Law Wheel), it was adjusting my body. I also saw that the room was full of Law Wheels flying around.

I made up my mind to diligently cultivate Falun Gong. I sent all my Buddhist books to a temple. That night, I had a dream that I took an airplane to travel to a faraway place. The plane was full of many Buddha statues, including Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, Sakyamuni, and statues of other gods. In an instant, all the statues exploded and turned into rubble. It is just like what Master said,

“The Four Great Elements have weathered away
And the old Fa is disintegrating”
(“The Fa Rectifies All,” from Hong Yin Vol. II)

I Saw Masters' Law Bodies Everywhere

A practitioner gave me a ticket in 1996 to watch the video of Master's Fa Lecture in Jinan. Immediately after I entered the auditorium, I saw a white light, like a column, flying inside my celestial eye, between my eyes. After I finished watching Master's Fa Lecture and walked out of the auditorium, I saw Master's Law Bodies everywhere. I saw Master's image on the wall and on the roof, and I saw layers of Law Bodies behind Master's image. I also saw the ladder to heaven. I climbed up the ladder and looked down, and I saw the world below me as a dirty and dangerous place.

Cultivating My Xinxing During Tribulations

I used to be employed in the cafeteria of a paper factory. I worked in the wheat food group to cook food for the workers. The administrator was Miss Cheng. Her husband was the assistant director of the factory. She had a lot of power in the cafeteria and because of that, everyone was afraid of her. Before I began cultivating, we had a very good relationship and she enjoyed talking to me.

Just as I was feeling good about my cultivation status, and my body was feeling good, she began yelling at me for no reason. I was about to fight back, but suddenly my throat became mute and I could not say a word. I remembered what Master said,

“...as a practitioner, you shouldn’t hit back when attacked, or talk back when insulted...” (The Fourth Talk, Zhuan Falun)

I realized I should not be like her, I should be tolerant. So I started to recite Master's articles from Essentials for Further Advancement, “What is Forbearance (Ren)?” and “True Cultivation.” I was hoping that she would scold me less while I was reciting the Fa. But instead, her attitude became much worse. Miss Cheng started to hassle me all the time.

She told me to do things that were not a part of my job, and would not allow others to even help me. She gave me all the heavy and dirty work. I found it odd that during that time it seemed there were many more people coming to lunch, including workers from other factories. There were many dishes for me to pick up and wash. I was very busy doing many things.

Some of the workers that I knew saw that I was very busy, and tried to help by putting their dirty dishes directly in the sink. When she saw that, she stopped them. She also didn't allow them to talk with me at all.

She threw leftover apple cores on the wheat food that I had prepared and then blamed me for it. When the work day was over, she blocked the door and would not allow me to leave. If I tried to walk around her, she shouted at me and then pulled me by my hair, and beat me. I never complained and did not fight back.

I did not like worms, and they frightened me. So, she picked a few large worms from the tree and put them inside the room where I was preparing food, just to scare me. I was also afraid of killing chickens, so she put a half-dead chicken near me, in an attempt to scare me.

In this paper factory, the workers were accustomed to taking paper home with them. Miss Cheng told me to steal paper from the factory as well, but I refused. Then she punished me by making me carry wood with a small cart in the hot sun, which was not a part of my job. She also began to mislead me in the amount of food needed, so I would have to hustle to make more during lunch time. My daily workload increased by 50%. When the factory distributed goods, she either did not give me anything or only gave me those of the poorest quality.

This went on for nearly a year, and she continuously tortured me. Gradually I eliminated my attachments to unfairness and resentment. I no longer felt Miss Cheng was hateful. I just had mercy on her. One day she dragged me by my hair to beat me, for no apparent reason. The next day when she came to work, she stepped on broken glass. Her foot had a large cut in it, and it was bleeding a lot. She could not work that day. Many people commented that she deserved it. But I did not gloat. Instead, I said to myself, “Miss Cheng, I should really thank you.”

When I developed these sincere thoughts in my heart, Miss Cheng's attitude toward me immediately changed, completely. She no longer yelled, or gave me a hard time. One day after coming to work, she held my hands and said, “You are such a good person. Why did I treat you so bad? I don't know what happened to me. I am so sorry.” She cried, and I cried too. A few days later, she was transferred to another location.

A Key to Open All Locks

People often say that a key can only open one lock. But my key could open all the locks.

After Miss Cheng was transferred to another location, my cultivation went smoothly again, and I felt my abilities increase quickly. Every day I was the first one to arrive at work. One day I arrived at work earlier than usual. The warehouse custodian had not yet arrived, and I needed rice from the warehouse to start cooking. I tried my key on the door and it worked. I used that same key to open other doors as well, and it worked every time. The cafeteria warehouse had everything, but I only took what I needed to do my job.

Everything Has Spirit

After a while, I could see images of flowers on the walls, which looked real. They were no longer 2D pictures, but looked like real flowers, in 3D. They were much more beautiful than before. Everyday people could not see what I was seeing. I could also see in a picture that the water was flowing, the trees generated cool air, and people were talking.

I also saw that when anyone would draw something, the drawing could move. Different people's drawings had different colors. Some were dark, which must have been due to the people having a lot of karma. Some were brighter, but still gray, presumably indicating that the person had less karma. When practitioners drew, some drawings had bright light and some had extremely bright light.

Master said,

“...it doesn’t matter how good or bad your handwriting is, they’ll have energy!” (The Sixth Talk, Zhuan Falun)

“Some people’s comprehension just doesn’t improve. Some folks just go and start marking up this book of mine. Now, those of us with open Third Eyes can see that this book is full of dazzling colors, and sparkling with golden light, and every word is in my Law Body’s image. If I lied I’d be cheating you, so I’ll tell you: the marks you make are so dark, and you dare to just mark it up like that?” (The Ninth Talk, Zhuan Falun)

Master's every word is the Fa and is absolutely true.

Trees Were Grateful to Me

There were a few large trees in front of my father's house. The government paid 20 yuan if you had a tree cut down. When I heard this, I went to talk to my father to prevent this from happening. My father listened to me and did not have the trees cut down. The next time I saw those trees, they greeted me, and smiled. Later, the Chinese Communist Party destroyed many environments and ended up cutting down those trees, for no reason.
