(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who obtained the Fa when I was incarcerated in prison in 2008. Due to the prison environment at the time, I could only study and memorize the Fa with the help of other practitioners. I used Master’s Fa principles to guide me in my cultivation, however I was unable to do the exercises. Fortunately, Master often encouraged me.
At that time, my mind was always filled with the Fa, no matter what I was doing with my hands. I performed nothing other than repetitive work, which allowed me to memorize the Fa. The labor in the prison was not easy. Prisoners were always given a hard time. However, after cultivating, I could ignore such feelings—I did not have time to feel it.
Whenever I had time to relax, Master’s Fa would come into my mind.
Master said,
“Pause for a moment of self-reflection,and increase your righteous thoughtsThoroughly analyze your shortcomings,and progress with renewed diligence”(“Rational and Awake,” Hong Yin Volume II)
I looked within to see where I did not do well, and corrected myself by using the Fa principles. I tried my best not to move away from the Fa, as I felt that time was very precious.
I often wondered: Why did I obtain the Fa so late? It wasn’t until after I was released from prison and studied Master’s lectures from different regions that I understood that everything has its arrangement, and the timing when everyone obtains the Fa has also been prearranged. It was only after reaching this understanding that I got rid of the worry about obtaining the Fa late.
While in prison, Master saw that I was still diligent, so he unlocked a supernatural ability of mine to encourage me. When I opened my eyes I saw things in this human dimension. However, when I closed my eyes, I entered into another dimension. The dimension was different every time. Every night before I went to sleep or before every noon rest time, I always watched the scenes in other dimensions as I gradually went to sleep. As long as I did not open my eyes, I could see different scenes in different dimensions.
I once saw human heads, and every face was young and pretty. Their facial expressions were peaceful and beautiful, just like in the movies. Every face looked attractive, so I kept looking and admiring. Suddenly, I saw my own face, which was also young and pretty. At that time, I felt a shock—why was I there too? I looked more closely, but the scene vanished.
The most amazing thing was that I often saw scenes and heard sounds from the Heavens, in a half-awake state. For example, I saw the opening scene of the 2019 Global Chinese New Year Spectacular in which Master rode in a heavenly carriage. I also saw that scene some time ago. I also often heard the rumbling sound in the Heavens. Right after that, I saw busy traffic where everyone was wearing ancient clothing. The sky was like a big screen.
I was finally able to get the precious book, Zhuan Falun, after being released from prison. Words can’t describe the excitement I felt. It was what I had wished for, for such a long time. As I read Zhuan Falun, I realized that I had experienced many of the phenomena mentioned in the book.
One example was “three flowers gathered at the crown.” Once when I was meditating, I saw a pretty, yellow-colored flower. That type of delicate color can not be found on Earth. I understood that Master was enlightening me about the level that I had obtained. I was grateful to Master! Sometimes I could even see it when my eyes were open.
Another time I was going to meet a fellow practitioner. This was our first meeting and we sat down facing each other. A silver white, slightly powdered color appeared at his top left. The flower’s diameter was about 30 to 40 centimeters, and it was sparkling. It stayed for more than a minute before disappearing.
I continued to read a book of Master’s lectures in the different regions every day for many days. One day, I had just closed my eyes when I saw Dafa books piling up one by one, and all the books were sparkling. I immediately said to Master in my heart, “Thank you Master, I shall not sleep but get up to continue studying the Fa.” I understood that Master was encouraging his disciple to cultivate diligently.
During the pandemic, I often saw the words’ sizes were different from one another when I studied the Fa. Single terms or words seemed to have come alive and jump out.
Now, when I study the Fa, I often see all sorts of colors. This type of change happened because I studied a minimum of three lectures of Zhuan Falun, and a maximum of seven lectures, and lectures from other regions every day. Thank you Master for your encouragement!
When I practiced the exercises in the morning, I was sometimes lazy and could not wake up from my sleep. Once I did so, the daytime seemed to end before it truly started. I therefore became determined to wake up early the next day. After the alarm went off, I turned on the exercise music in my sleepy state, hoping to wake up as I listened to Master’s voice.
Once, Master encouraged me. When I was doing the Holding the Wheel exercise, I felt that my arms were carrying a big lotus flower that was bigger than the entire room. I laughed in my heart and thought: Thank you Master!
Sometimes my palm would fall when I sent forth righteous thoughts. When this happened, I sent forth righteous thoughts for a prolonged time during the day, to clean up my own dimensional field. Now, apart from the global sending forth righteous thoughts, I have gotten into the habit of sending forth righteous thoughts for a prolonged period of time every day. The result has been good.
Master once let me see a scene: As the lotus palm was erected, a Falun flew out and spun with a whizzing sound as it searched for the evil. The bad things came in clusters. Some were highly concentrated while others were less concentrated. No matter what, they all disappeared instantly when they touched the Falun. I was amazed! This strengthened my steadfast belief in the effects of righteous thoughts.
Dafa practitioners all have their missions, Their precondition is that they cultivate themselves well. One year ago, there were many times when I was unaware of my loopholes, thus I did not cultivate well.
Over the years, I benefited greatly from reading the Minghui Weekly articles. For example, in the past, I did not know how to cultivate “Compassion.” After reading these articles, I learned that as long as I get angry, I do not feel compassion. Competitive mentality, resentment and hatred, jealousy, relationships and moods, etc., all appeared. At these moments, I often recited Master’s lecture “Realms.” Every time after I finished searching, I often gained unexpected rewards.
Other than studying the Fa, practicing the exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts, and cultivating our xinxing, we need to assist Master in saving sentient beings!
I remember once that the sky was so dark that I could not see my fingers when I looked at my hand. I had originally made an agreement with a fellow practitioner to distribute informational materials. I prepared many materials beforehand, but that practitioner decided not to go at the last minute, I could only go by myself.
Seeing the total darkness outside, I felt quite apprehensive. There were so many Dafa materials, and the sky was so dark. With that, I started to reproach that practitioner, complaining that he did not keep his promise. As I grumbled I suddenly felt that I was wrong: “Is this how a cultivator should behave? How can I bear a grudge? Isn’t cultivation about cultivating oneself? Aren’t I being reliant on other practitioners? Why didn’t I think of how the other practitioner felt? That practitioner has his own cultivation state, so how can I force him to do whatever I thought? Isn’t this a test for me?”
I immediately apologized to the practitioner and knelt in front of Master’s portrait to acknowledge my mistake. I begged Master to eliminate the bad matter in my dimensional field. I want to follow Master and save people with a pure heart. I asked for Master’s empowerment, for all the sentient beings’ righteous side to take effect, and for all the living beings to cooperate with me to validate the Fa.
At that instant, my inner heart suddenly saw the light. Master got rid of those bad matters. Along the way, as I walked, I said to Master, “Master, the sentient beings are all being kept in the dark. This is too dangerous, people’s lives are at stake, benevolent Master, please save these sentient beings!” Tears covered my face. That day, the material distribution went much more smoothly than I had imagined. Many Dafa materials were distributed within a very short time.
There was another time when I was about to depart after preparing materials. I realized that dark clouds were gathering in the sky. The sky was also pitch black. Should I go? I also did not have an umbrella with me. I then thought that these materials are meant for saving sentient beings. If I keep them at home, who am I saving? If I distribute them one day later sentient beings will get to see them one day later. In that case, their salvation will be delayed for a day and they will be in danger for another day. The earlier they see it, the earlier they obtain peace and safety!
I begged for Master’s empowerment not to let it rain until I finished distributing the materials. I could finish distributing the materials in less than one-and-a-half-hours. Such a quantity of materials usually takes two hours to distribute. This means to say that the thunder and lightning went on for more than an hour without any rain. I thanked Master in my heart!
Just as I finished distributing the materials and was heading back on my bicycle, the heavy rain started pouring down. By the time I reached home, I was totally drenched. After changing my clothes, I stood at the window and felt a sense of sweetness in my heart as I heard the sound of the rain outside.
The ancient people stated that it is a joy to help others. Today, Dafa practitioners find joy in saving people. During the process, so many amazing things have happened. For example, when I distribute Dafa informational materials, and when there are too many people, I will beg Master to let the sentient beings leave. After that, the people will quickly disappear so I can distribute the materials the way I prefer. When there are not many people, I will beg for Master to set a shield so that nobody can see me. At such times, even if I were to place the materials right in front of someone, he would also not see it.
Sometimes, when the building’s door was locked, I would beg Master, “Master, please let the sentient beings open the door so that they can receive the life-saving materials!” Just as I had finished thinking about it, the door opened and the sentient beings in this unit all obtained the materials. Sometimes, I press the doorbell and the sentient beings also open the door for me.
I sometimes see someone looking at me suspiciously or with curiosity. I immediately send out a thought to let his righteous side take effect, and seek Master’s empowerment! Sometimes, when I raised my head and saw that a surveillance camera was watching the entire area, I sent out a thought, “Do not take my video. Assimilate to Dafa. Only by assimilating to Dafa can you have a future.”
I have never been afraid of surveillance cameras over the past years. I believe that I have sufficient energy to clean up the evil beings that are behind all the surveillance cameras. Because I am doing the most righteous thing in the universe, nobody dares cause disturbances and obstructions. This is how Master has been encouraging me. Occasionally, when my thoughts were not righteous, I would quickly correct them, and immediately disintegrate all the bad thoughts that had just appeared.
A few days ago, when I returned home after finishing the materials distribution, a scene flashed through my mind. The sentient beings see so many materials, and read them, while some don’t. Some of them curse or just throw them away.
That night, I had a dream. I was walking by myself on a rugged path. Along the way, I experienced many things before I finally reached the end of that road. When I raised my head, I saw endless lotus flower buds. The flower buds were very big, and they were connected to one another. There were also many lotus leaves within them. The scene was amazing. I thought in my heart that Master should be here since this is such a good place. Therefore, I shouted, “Master! Master! Master! Before my voice faded off, I saw Master floating over from the right side of the sea of flowers. I smiled and thought, “I knew that Master was definitely here.” I woke up after that.
From the dream, I understood that Master is right by my side at all times, protecting and empowering his disciple. The materials that we distribute may seem simple and normal, but in another dimension, every set of materials is a budding lotus flower that is waiting to bloom. Whoever wants it will be saved. Thank you Master for your encouragement through the dream!
I am often filled with emotions because I am fortunate to come into contact with this highly virtuous Dafa in this lifetime. I am able to progress on the path to return to my original, true self by following Dafa’s guidance. Master has protected, guided, and showed me his benevolence, and encouraged me all the way! I know that I am still far away from those practitioners who are cultivating diligently, but I will do my best to progress, and do well with the three things so as to minimize regrets.
