A Happy and Simple Cultivation Life

January 26, 2018 |   by Falun Gong practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) My life is very simple as a cultivator, I exercise every day and study the Fa teachings, and do the three things well. I use the Fa teachings to measure all that I do. I am able to have a new understanding of the teachings when I study Fa.

Saving My Childhood Friend

Several years ago when the persecution was happening in full force everywhere, I heard that one of my childhood friends was involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

My family was terrified that I wanted to clarify the truth to him. “He was so evil. What if he reports you?”

I thought that he was in a key position, so if nobody brings awareness of the persecution to him, he might commit even more sins and persecute more practitioners. I decided to visit his parents and then him.

When we caught up, we recalled the good old days. I told him Falun Gong is a great Buddha school teaching. It has spread to over 100 countries. I also told him about the cases of those who participated in the persecution and met with retribution.

He took out a letter that was written by a Falun Gong practitioner. He told me that he had a sense of fear while doing his job for a long time now. He promised me that he would no longer be involved in persecution. Later he made a solemn declaration that he and his whole family quit the CCP and its related organizations.

Our Power Comes from a Firm Belief in Dafa

My understanding in Master has already granted us all the power that comes from cultivation before the persecution began. As long as we have a firm belief in Dafa, we can overcome all tribulations.

I was once arrested and held in a police station. When the police were ready to interrogate me, I saw the words “Interrogation Report” on the computer screen. I thought: I am a Dafa practitioner, not a criminal. How can they interrogate me? I stood up and walked out. A policeman followed me and asked, “Where are you going?”

When I raised my right foot, I disappeared. When I came to, I was at a place two blocks away from the police station. Master “picked me up!” A practitioner asked me what was I thinking at the time. I said that I had thought of nothing—my mind was completely empty. I only thought that I was a Dafa practitioner and they should not interrogate me.

I heard about a practitioner who suffered a great deal in prison and when he came out, others asked him what was it like inside. He said, “I did not remember much suffering, I was happy.”

Over the course of twenty years of cultivation, Master has protected me and held my hand step by step. Whenever I came across difficulties and tribulations, the power of Fa would manifest itself to inspire and encourage me.

I firmly believe that the power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will help me overcome all difficulties, and I will follow Master to go back home.

I learned how to look within, how to accommodate others, and enjoy a simple and happy life. I am so fortunate and happy to have Master's grace shining upon me. I am deeply grateful. Thank you, Master, thank you Dafa!
