Master’s Encouragement

(Minghui.org) At the beginning of 2021, not only did the snow in the Netherlands not melt, it formed ice that was bright and transparent like glass.

On Chinese New Year’s day, I made phone calls to clarify the truth about Dafa, and the results were very good! This may be because the people in China took a holiday, so they were in a good mood when they picked up the phone. Some listened for a few minutes, some listened for over 10 minutes and some even listened for 20 to 30 minutes. A person listened for 48 minutes, and then quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.

Master Is Always at Practitioners’ Sides

One morning after I sent forth righteous thoughts at 5 a.m., I remembered that I had to go to my daughter’s house for dinner, as that day was my grandson’s birthday. I had already promised her to show up for dinner. So I rushed to the train station. However, I had not left the house five minutes when I slipped and fell on the transparent glass-like snow. I just sat there, as the pain stopped me from moving. After some time, the ice that I was sitting on started to melt, and my jeans were all wet. Due to the pain and cold, I could not stand up, but could only sit in the snow. Just then, the words “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good...” kept moving through my mind.

As I looked up, I saw Master [Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa]! Master smiled at me benevolently, and my tears fell as I put my palms together to thank Master! Just at this moment, I really experienced that Master is always by his practitioners’ sides! In my heart, I kept shouting, “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”

Not long after that, two young Dutch men showed up, helped me get up and accompanied me home, each of them supporting me on one side. I was just about to thank them, but when I looked around I noticed that the two kind young people were gone. I just felt weird, but I was filled with gratitude towards Master in my heart. I realized that this was Master’s arrangement!

As I could not walk, I could not go to my daughter’s house, but I also could not tell her. I did not want her to worry. After the incident, my daughter was still worried and blamed me for not telling her. That night, when I was studying the Fa with fellow practitioners, I felt that the strength of studying the Fa was not enough. At night I could hardly lie down to sleep and could not get out of bed in the morning. Even when I turned my body it would ache. After two days, I still could not do the exercises, and I also did not eat anything. What should I do? Just then, I saw the Fa that Master taught us appear before my eyes. Word by word, the Fa was displayed before me very clearly: 

“If you can truly have a mindset that’s determined about cultivation and can let go of human feelings, then it won’t take even a second and your ailment will be gone.” (“Teachings at the Conference in Houston”)

A golden aura accompanied by rays of golden light appeared in the light purple and red sky that looked like satin. The scene was really beautiful! I saw benevolent Master smile at me, and I was very excited! I was so thankful! Once again, I put my palms together to bow to Master in gratitude!

This same day, early in the morning, I was getting ready to send forth righteous thoughts as usual and I felt that I could meditate in a very relaxed manner. After sending forth righteous thoughts, I thought in my heart, “I need to get out of bed, I must support myself and get out of bed!” Then I thought, “I haven’t practiced the exercises for two days so I must do the exercises!” This thought really took effect. 

Gradually, I was able to get out of bed. As I leaned against the wall, I stopped to rest between each step, and was able to walk to the mat on which I generally do the exercises. However, I still felt as though I had no strength and that my exercise movements were not as accurate as usual. In this way, I did the exercises for the entire day. As my legs were swollen, I tolerated the pain to complete the one-hour meditation in the full lotus position.

After practicing the first, third, fourth and fifth set of exercises, I sent forth righteous thoughts at 5 p.m. I was preparing to do the second exercise for an hour. It was an easy and happy thing to do during normal circumstances, but now, I was a bit nervous. I was worried that I could not stand, and might fall. 

When I persisted in doing the second exercise, I felt that I was surrounded by a very strong energy field. I even heard very loud applause and laughter. At that time, a thought came into my mind: Do not disturb my doing the exercises! If the disturbance were to continue, I was going to erect my palm and send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference. Before I sent the righteous thought, the applause became waving hands. Therefore, I did not send righteous thoughts, but just kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” quietly until I finished the practice. Thus, I also completed the one-hour second exercise too!

Instantly, everything calmed down and returned back to the original calmness. Just then, I heard the hearty laughter of benevolent Master when he was attending the Fa conference in the United States! Master was happy and I was happy too! I put my palms together again to bow to Master in gratitude! 

Master taught us, 

“Do well what remains to be done, and head toward the future with a cultivation journey free of regret.” (“To the Canada Fa Conference”) 

I said quietly to Master in my heart, “OK! I will follow Master’s teachings diligently! I will do well on the last phase of my cultivation path!”

Thank you, benevolent great Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners whom I learn from and cultivate diligently together with!
