Cultivation Experiences

Dec. 16, 2020 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Anhui Province, China

(Minghui.org) When I read Zhuan Falun for the first time, I had a dream that night. In my dream, a western man dressed in medieval style clothing stood in front of me. Neither of us said anything. I knew he wanted me to go with him. I told him that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and asked him to leave. He would not leave. I thought about Master Li Hongzhi’s portrait in Zhuan Falun and asked Master to chase the man away. As Master’s image became clear in my mind, the man disappeared. 

In another dream I was walking down a hill. A crystal clear mountain stream flowed beside me. Beautiful pink flowers covered the crowns of trees that lined both sides of the path. Then I was flying above the flowering trees. It was an incredible feeling.

What I Saw While Doing the Exercises

I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1999. While doing the Falun Standing Stance, I saw beautiful flowers floating at our exercise site in April of that year. This lasted a few minutes. Warmth filled my body. It was still before dawn, but I felt as if I were bathing in the midday sun.

I told my sister about it. She said: “Ah, those are Falun (law wheels), Master is encouraging you to exercise outside.”

One time when I was sleeping, I felt a gentle breeze near my right eye. Opening my eyes to look, I saw a Falun quietly spinning near my face. Another Falun was spinning near my right knee. I fell back to sleep.

When I was doing the exercises in the yard, my third eye opened and I saw Master Li’s (the founder) Fa-body meditating in the air. The sky above was red. It was like Master said in Zhuan Falun:

“As long as you go to our exercise sites for practice, it is much better than your treating your own illness. My fashen sit in a circle, and above the exercise site is a shield on which there is a big Falun. A large fashen guards the site above the shield. This site is not an ordinary site, and neither is it a site for an ordinary qigong practice—it is a site for cultivation practice. Many of our people with supernormal abilities have seen that this Falun Dafa site is shielded by a red light so it is red all around.”(Lecture Three, Zhuan Falun)

Overcoming Sickness Karma with Righteous Thought

A practitioner I knew was arrested in July 2004. Under physical and mental torture, the practitioner gave my name and said that she got the Falun Dafa brochures from me. After she regained consciousness and realized what she had done, she sent me a message saying that I needed to be careful. She continuously sent forth righteous thoughts for me.

One evening a few days later, I did not feel well. A pressure in my chest made it difficult for me to breathe. It was a hot, steamy night, and I went to bed close to midnight. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw countless large snakes surrounding me. It was initially a little scary. I sat up straight to send forth righteous thoughts. The amazing thing was that I suddenly was wide awake and not afraid anymore. I silently called, “Master, help me” and repeated the word “eliminate.”

The snakes came together and formed a tight web. I continued sending forth righteous thoughts. The movement of the snakes changed from strong to weak to motionless. The outlines of their bodies became blurry, and they eventually disappeared. It took me about half an hour to eliminate them completely. While sending forth righteous thoughts, a strong force manifested in my body and hands. All the discomfort I had that night disappeared with the snakes.

After the detained practitioner was released in August, she told me that I would be safe. The police at the detention center told her that they could not find me after searching the entire city. With Master’s help and righteous thoughts, the evil was destroyed before they could do any damage.

I was aching all over in July 2007. I immediately realized that a dark force was trying to harm me. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate any evil force and demon behind the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and asked that Master help me. A large monster appeared in front of me. It stretched out long, and then changed into a big lump with many moving arms. The sight of it was rather sickening. After sending forth righteous thoughts for half an hour, the monster disappeared. I felt light and calm.

Producing Minghui Weekly

Master encouraged Falun Dafa practitioners to spread the goodness of Dafa. In 2006, I bought a computer and printer to make brochures.

One time, a couple of practitioners and I could not get our hands on Minghui Weekly for several weeks. So I wondered how I could download the booklet myself. Back then, I only knew how to make copies. I had once seen others downloading files from the Internet, but did not understand the concept. Then an idea appeared in my mind, and I decided to give it a try. I was able to smoothly download five issues of Minghui Weekly. Then I wondered how I could print them. I clicked a random icon on the screen. It was directions for how to print a booklet. Tears filled my eyes. I bowed to the screen, to express gratitude for Master’s help and the thoughtfulness of practitioners who work on the Minghui website.

A week later, I downloaded more materials from the Minghui website. I was less proficient the second time. It became clear to me that it was Master who guided me the first time. The second time was truly me doing the work. 

Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Practiced by my Family

I was riding my scooter home from work in August 2013. It was already dark, and I was going fast. Midway home, I heard a loud sound. The basket at the front of my scooter went flying. I fell to the ground and heard a child crying. I realized I had hit a pedicab in front of me. A man jumped off and picked up his child.

“I am sorry, I am sorry.” I apologized as I got up from the ground while quietly reciting, “Falun Dafa is good.” The child was unhurt. However, the man complained about his leg. I offered to take him to the hospital. He replied: “Don’t leave. I have to take my child home first, then you can take me to the hospital.” I told him I would wait. 

The man lived just down the road. It was taking him a long time to come back out. So I went to look for him. He saw my scooter and suggested that we ride together. I told him I had just learned how to drive the scooter and was not confident about taking him with me. The man said: “Then I will drive, and you sit in the back.”

We chatted on our way to the hospital; I inquired about his child. He said: “You are a very honest person, I thought you would have run away when I took my child home. I could not believe it when I saw that you were still there, and you even looked for me. Why didn’t you take off?” I replied: “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, our Master teaches us Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and to be good people at all times. I hit you today, if I don’t take you to the hospital, how can my heart be at peace?”

I answered his questions about Falun Dafa, and eventually said: “You look like a good person. Many people denounce the CCP and its youth organizations to stay away from disaster. Do you want me to help you with that?” He immediately said he would use his real name to withdraw from the CCP organizations he previously joined.

At the hospital, the doctor recommended an MRI. The test is costly, and the man said to me: “It’s too expensive, I don’t think it’s a big injury, I don’t need an MRI.” I felt it was safer to get an MRI than not; so I insisted. My family came to the hospital to bring me money. His test result showed no injury. We took the man out for dinner and gave him a ride home. The man kept calling me a “good person.”

The next day, we visited the man and brought gifts for his child. His family said: “You are nice people; there are not many good people like you anymore.”

Following Dafa Principles

My other family members also uphold the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. For example, we own a small pharmacy. One day several dozen bags of goods fell off a delivery truck as it was passing in front of our store. It did not take long for the passersby to notice the goods and take them.

The owner and the driver of the truck did not know what to do. They asked my husband for help, offering to buy back the lost goods for 50 yuan per bag. My husband went around the street to persuade those who took the goods to return them. All the bags were returned to the owner. When the owner offered my husband money as gratitude, my husband declined the offer.

Another example is when my daughter's bank receipt showed an extra 4,000 yuan in her account. The bank teller had made an entry error. My daughter immediately asked the teller to correct it.

My son also is a good person. He refused to forge false evidence against his colleague when others pressured him to do so. Moreover, he makes large purchases for his company and has never accepted kickbacks.
