Juanzi’s Cultivation Story

March 3, 2021 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Shandong Province, China

(Minghui.org) When the company Juanzi worked for went into bankruptcy in 2001, she and her colleagues started looking for jobs in Shandong Province. 

Thirty to 40 people applied for the same position in a health care agency. A senior person in the company was also looking for a caretaker for his disabled wife. Juanzi was given the job. 

Starting Like 'a Junior Monk'

Juanzi went to the couple's home the next morning. The man said, “Juanzi, I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Gong is really great. Are you interested in learning the practice?” She responded quickly, “Of course I would like to practice.” She was so lucky to hear about Dafa on her first day in his home.

Master said: 

“The junior monk always works his fingers to the bone and exhausts himself, so he pays off his karma quickly and he reaches Enlightenment quickly.” (The Seventh Talk,  Zhuan Falun

The practitioner said, “You have a good foundation. I almost fainted when I did the exercise called “Holding the Wheel” for the first time. It took me six months to feel strong enough to not put my arms down too soon.”

They continued doing the Falun Gong exercises every day. One day, the Falun Gong practitioner said, “Juanzi, I would like to tell you something, but please do not develop an attachment. I saw your hands were surrounded with shining red light. In the morning, I could not find you and wondered where you were. All of a sudden I saw you and you were as tall as the ceiling even though in reality you are just 156 cm (61 inches) tall. You looked indomitable.”

Juanzi laughed: “How is it I became so tall? Falun Gong is really magical.”

Repaying a Debt 

Juanzi was very diligent and worked hard at taking care of the man's wife. During her spare time, she studied the Fa and participated in Dafa projects to clarify the truth}. Her behavior and speech were based on Dafa principles. Even in the environment of severe persecution in mainland China, she firmly cultivated Dafa. 

Master said: 

“True cultivation isn’t as easy as you imagined. Just because you want to  cultivate, you think you’ll be able to cultivate upward? When you really start to cultivate you’ll immediately run into life-threatening danger, this problem will come right up.” (The Third Talk, Zhuan Falun

“Debts have to be settled. So on your cultivation path some dangerous things might happen. But when these things happen you won’t be scared, and we won’t let you get into real danger.” (The Third Talk,  Zhuan Falun

It was close to the Chinese New Year. Juanzi's boss did not usually go to his hometown for the holiday because of his wife’s health. However, Juanzi agreed to take care of his wife, Hua, so he could go to his hometown for the activities. 

At 10 p.m. that night, Hua said she wanted to use the washroom. When Juanzi tried to get up, she found she couldn't move, she was short of breath, and her body was shaking. However, she didn't feel nervous and didn't worry about herself. She said to Master Li (Dafa's founder) in her mind, “Master, I cannot die like this. My employer went to his hometown for the holidays and will be gone for 10 days. His wife Hua is disabled. If I die, Hua will die, too. What should I do?” 

Within five minutes, Juanzi could move again and was back to normal. Hua asked her, “Are you alright?” She said, “I am okay,” and immediately took Hua to the washroom. 

At midnight, Juanzi started to run a fever, her mouth became dry, and her whole body ached. However, by 3:50 a.m., she had completed the five exercises. Her clothes were drenched with sweat. She sent righteous thoughts at 6 a.m. After that, her fever vanished. She felt very energetic and completely back to normal. 

Magical Experiences Through Cultivation 

Juanzi cultivated herself very diligently. She knew that her employer had financial difficulties due to his wife’s medical expenses. Juanzi told them to reduce her salary. Even when her salary was delayed for one year, she didn't complain and continued to do her job conscientiously. The couple treated Juanzi as a member of their family. 

Master said: 

“However high your character is, that’s how high your gong is.” (The First Talk,  Zhuan Falun

Juanzi used her spare time to do the three things. She had some magical experiences. She saw different colors in {{ Zhuan Falun, including the electronic version, when she studied the Fa in a group. She always recalled Master’s Fa in her mind when she was walking, cooking, or doing her job. One month, there were four times when she left her physical body, went to another dimension, and saw astonishingly beautiful scenes. She saw Master doing the sitting meditation. She also saw five holy and beautiful lilies rotating, majestic guardians of Buddha, and other things. Those wonderful experiences can't be described using the human language. 

Relatives Benefit 

Master said: 

“When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family will benefit.” (“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,”  Zhuan Falun Fajie

One day, Juanzi’s mother called her and said, “The DVD you gave us is really great.” Her mom was praising the Shen Yun performances Juanzi had given her on a disc. 

Her employer reminded Juanzi not to talk to her mom about Falun Gong on the phone for safety reasons. Juanzi understood and changed to different topics when talking to her mom. 

A few years ago, Juanzi took a vacation and sent brochures about Falun Gong to her friends and relatives. Her mom saw that Juanzi was nicer and more respectful of her parents. Juanzi's mom also read  Zhuan Falun and became very healthy. 

There is an old saying that the family that accumulates goodness is sure to have abundant happiness. This is true. Juanzi has clarified the truth to people about Falun Gong, and through this she earned merit and benefits for her family members. Her mom is elderly but very healthy. 

Juanzi also told her son the facts about Dafa. She told him to repeat “Falun Dafa is great. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great.” Her son is a decent and honest person. After he graduated from university, he started his own business, which has prospered and is running well.
