(Minghui.org) Greetings, esteemed Master and fellow practitioners.
I am a Korean practitioner who obtained the Fa in 2015. There are not many Falun Dafa practitioners where I live, thus the Minghui website helped me tremendously in my cultivation. Practitioners from around the world participate in serious cultivation sharings, which allowed me to not only be tightly connected to them but also was instrumental to let me progress on my own cultivation journey. Whenever I read about Master compassionately arranging supernatural things for the diligent practitioners, I often felt those experiences were right in front of my eyes too, as those scenes play out like movies in my head. That was incredibly motivating for me on my cultivation journey. Reading the sharings by other practitioners I felt as if I was there to share the same experience with them, pushing me to be more diligent, and increasing my faith and confidence in Falun Dafa.
In the first few years of my cultivation, I did not have many opportunities to meet veteran practitioners or share with them. There aren’t any veteran practitioners in the city where I live. Although I could meet some at group Fa study sessions in another city, I don’t have many opportunities to go there given the travel distance. When I do go, I find that most veteran practitioners tend to be rather quiet. Thus there wasn’t much sharing. But fortunately, I could join the English translation team of a practitioner-run media, getting closer to the reporters, and sharing with them online.
One day when I was telling a veteran practitioner about the difficulty I faced in my cultivation, the practitioner told me I could try listening to Minghui radio. That was the first time I was introduced to Minghui radio, so I immediately found it online. When I heard the voice of the practitioner reading the sharing articles, I felt so happy, as I found yet another great way to improve in cultivation.
Although my spouse and I work, I am the person most responsible for the household finances, chores, as well as parenting. I often felt worried as I could not set aside much time for cultivation. At the time I did not even have enough time to study the Fa, do the exercises, and send righteous thoughts, let alone reading cultivation sharing articles online. But from the day I was introduced to Minghui radio, I started listening while doing chores and driving. Before this, I often felt upset as well as physical discomfort during the times when there were too many chores, as the xinxing test was quite aggressive for me. But, now listening to Minghui radio while doing chores, I am able to be fully immersed in the stories and finish the chores without even realizing it. Besides, I do not feel tired. It’s especially so with sharings of practitioners from mainland China. Their experiences amaze me and many times move me to tears. Listening to Minghui radio while doing my chores, I laughed, I cried, I was deeply moved, and I was elevated in the process.
I have a pretty good voice, and I sing well, as I have won several competitions in the past. When I first started cultivating, I was the singer in my company’s band, and we held performances. One day, I thought, since I have gained so much from Minghui radio, what if it was part of Master’s arrangement for me to have a good voice, and it was for me to use it in Dafa projects, and not for my own enjoyment in singing pop songs. So what about I become a narrator for Minghui radio?
Although that seemed to be a sudden thought, I was really surprised that I even dared to have that thought. At the time, I felt that the position as a narrator at Minghui are only reserved for very diligent practitioners, and my state at the time just seemed too far from that, so I brushed the thought off as a wild wish. That thought, however, planted a seed in my heart and gradually sprouted.
Under the compassionate care of Master, I was given the opportunity to share my own cultivation experience at the Fa Conference on November 2021. One day, a practitioner introduced me to the coordinator of Minghui radio, and the seed that sprouted in my heart was finally able to come to fruition. The most incredible part was that it only took one season to come to fruition. I sincerely said quietly in my mind: “Master knows even the tiniest thought in my head. Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!”
After sharing at the Fa conference, I was honored to join in the translating and correcting efforts for two English books that documented the many moving cultivation sharings from Minghui. Now looking back, it was quite a long and arduous undertaking. Whenever I wanted to give up, Master would show me great tales from fellow practitioners to motivate me and push me to keep going. It was like a hard, long journey, but at every turning point, I was able to witness amazingly motivating stories from other practitioners. So many nights that I stayed up translating, tears were streaming down my face.
Recalling, I thought the hard translating project, and my role as a Minghui radio narrator were my efforts to repay the Minghui website, only to realize that I have received yet a greater gift in this process.
In the midst of difficult tests, I perceived the Minghui website as my dearest fellow practitioner. When I read stories from practitioners who have had tribulations like mine, it’s as if I am hiking a difficult trail and see a yellow ribbon on a tree. It motivates me and comforts me. It also reminds me that I am not the only one on this difficult road and that there are people who were able to pass this point. When walking on a strange and dangerous trail, if you can see someone in front of you also walking forward, how comforting would it be?
For the many practitioners walking on different roads of cultivation, the sharings on Minghui are like the spring water deep in the mountains to quench one’s thirst or the road signs that show up when one is lost. For me, the Minghui website is my dearest fellow practitioner, we share difficulties and happiness together, and it is always motivating me.
I think my predestined relationship will continue as we move along our difficult path. Master gave me this valuable fate, so I shall treasure it and take good care of it. I shall be more diligent so as not to disappoint Master’s immense grace. I would like to hereby express my sincere gratitude for Master’s compassion and grace.
This is my understanding based on my current level. Please compassionately point out any shortcomings.
Thank you, Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners!
