(Minghui.org) I was very fortunate to begin practicing Falun Dafa in November 2012. My mother established a Fa study group in our home after we moved to a city in Liaoning Province. Practitioners guided me to study the Fa with them, and I gradually began to cultivate. That was the happiest year of my life.
Practitioners read Zhuan Falun with me, so that I could quickly assimilate to the Fa. I didn't understand many things after I finished reading the book the first time, but many of my questions were answered after the second time. I still had more questions when I read the book for the third time. Every time I read Zhuan Falun, I gained new understandings of the Fa.
The first time I joined the group study, I saw Master sitting on a lotus flower in another dimension. I floated toward Master and knelt down in front of Him.
As I continued to study the Fa and cultivate myself, I saw many things in other dimensions. I knew that Master was encouraging me to study the Fa more and assimilate to Dafa.
I saw golden lights in Dafa books, rotating Faluns, and an energy field around the group when we read the Fa together. I saw other wonderful scenes, such as gong columns, the existence and transformation of the black and white substances, and what was mentioned in Zhuan Falun about the grain of sand. I saw a large beach within that grain of sand, and when I looked closer in the grain of sand in that beach, I saw another large area of beach within that grain of sand. And it went on infinitely. I also saw myself standing next to Master's foot, but I wasn't able to see the top of it.
After I studied Master's overseas lectures, I understood that practitioners should do the three things well. When I first went to distribute truth clarification materials with my mother and other practitioners, my mother told me that Master would protect us as long we firmly believed in Master and Dafa. We sent forth righteous thoughts as we distributed and put up the informational materials about Dafa and the persecution. I was very happy to fulfill my duty as a practitioner.
While sending righteous thoughts after group study one day, I saw Master in the sky, sitting on a lotus flower with His palms in the upright position. Below Master were Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats lined up according to their fruit status, also with their palms erect. The scene was very solemn and sacred.
I once dreamed that I was flying in the sky. I flew into an empty room and saw the guards torturing practitioners. I shouted, “Stop torturing them!” but they didn't listen to me. I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts, and they disappeared into thin air.
Since I started practicing Falun Dafa, I haven't gotten sick, and my grades have improved a lot. I went from eighth place to first place in my class. I know they are gifts from Master.
One of my classmates was jealous of me because I was doing well in school. She would often hit or pinch me, but I just smiled and let it go. She also called me a fool, but I know that I am not. Every time she would hit me, she would give me virtue. The more she hit me, the more virtue she gave me.
I once went out with two of my classmates during the holidays. I saw two truth-clarification cards on the ground and picked them up. One of my classmates tried to grab them from me because he wanted to tear them up. I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen and said bad things about Dafa. The other classmate, whom I had already clarified the truth to, also tried to stop him, but got pushed down, and I got hit. I didn't feel any pain and was happy that I was able to protect the cards. I later told my classmate the facts about Falun Dafa, and he eventually quit the Young Pioneers, an affiliate of the Chinese Communist Party.
Recently, I haven't been diligent in doing the three things after my father, who works out of town, came home. I should spend more time studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts, clarifying the truth, and being a good young practitioner.
