(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa was introduced to the small town where I live in 1997. I was fortunate to learn the practice.
The illnesses that I suffered disappeared soon after I started practicing, including bronchitis, sinusitis, arthritic knees and gastritis. I was also able to give up my glasses for nearsightedness. Master cleansed me. I became a better person and had a healthy body.
Not Getting Involved in Corrupt Practices
I taught in elementary school, and there is a lot of corruption in China's educational system. Parents pay 'sponsorship fees' for their child to attend a good school and give gifts to the teachers in exchange for better care of their child.
After studying the principles of the Fa, I chose not accept gifts from the parents any more, and used the fees I received to buy learning materials and then gave them to students for free.
One of my student's parents were busy with their business and had no time to take care of their child, so I let the student come to my home after school to complete their homework. After a few weeks, the parents came to my home and left money for me to show their appreciation. When I discovered the money, I promptly returned it.
A student from another town was transferred to our school with my help. His parents gave my wife a gift card as a thank you, which I also returned.
Another out-of-town student was transferred to my class in the middle of the school year. Her father asked me to take care of his child, which I agreed. He then handed me a packet of cigarettes. I gave them back and told him that I didn't smoke.
He misunderstood my actions, and later gave me a whole carton of cigarettes. I explained to him that I do not accept gifts and assured him that I would take good care of his daughter.
Master Protects Practitioners
Falun Dafa practitioners are all protected by Master. People who don’t practice Dafa may not believe it, but we know it is true. The following are a couple of my experiences:
While helping my brother-in-law at a construction site, four of us worked together to take down two pieces of cement panels. I accidentally ended up with over 300 kilos pressing on my shoulders.
I didn't have time to react, but I didn't collapse under the weight. With Master's protection, nothing happened to me, and we managed to take down both panels.
One summer afternoon, I was driving my motorcycle on a narrow bridge when an electric tricycle hit me head on. I was knocked off and plunged into the water below.My only injury was a cut to my hand.
The two men on the tricycle paid for the repairs to my motorcycle. I didn't blame them for the accident and took the opportunity to tell them about Dafa and the persecution. They agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party.
I could have been seriously injured, but our great Master protected me.
