Feeling Grateful for Master’s Support and Protection on my Cultivation Path

(Minghui.org) I am a handicapped person. I was going to visit Ms. Ye at her home in early 2004, as I found out that two practitioners were going to study the Fa and do the exercises there. I wasn't yet a practitioner myself, but Ms. Hu kindly invited me to join them for the Fa-study. After quietly listening to them read the Fa, I was excited. Ms. Hu asked me if I wanted to learn Falun Dafa, and I said sure, so she gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa.

On returning home, I read Zhuan Falun the minute I found the time. It was strange that, as long as I read Zhuan Falun, it felt as if my mind was empty–I just couldn’t think of anything. I asked my husband how it is that Zhuan Falun seems to address all my difficulties. I wondered how Master knew what was on my mind. I felt that Zhuan Falun is truly wonderful, and decided that I would practice Falun Dafa.

I went to visit my sister in February 2004 and told her that I had started to practice Dafa. However I couldn’t do the exercises because the muscles in both legs were atrophied, and I couldn’t stand for more than three minutes. Not being able to do the exercises made me sad, and I began to cry.

When Master saw that I wanted to do the exercises, he arranged for Ms. Hu to visit me, and invite me to come to the practice site to learn the exercises. Even though I agreed to go, deep down, I was still so nervous that my heart kept pounding.

I had mixed feelings: What I longed for was that I could finally study the Fa, and do the exercises with fellow practitioners, yet I was also afraid I might affect others’ ability to enter tranquility due to my atrophied legs.

When we arrived at Ms. Ye’s home, I was so nervous that I fell at her door. Ms. Hu wanted to help me stand up, but I declined. While standing there, I began to wonder if I could really follow through to the end. Later, I realized that this thought wasn’t righteous.

Right then, I felt a warm current coming down from the top of my head and penetrate my entire body. Out of instinct, I used my both hands to rub my face. Suddenly, I could stand firmly on the ground. Both my legs had a lot of strength and felt very comfortable.

Before that, I had trouble finding my balance while standing. Only a couple of days ago, when I was learning the exercises, I couldn’t stand for more than three minutes. Now, I didn’t know what had happened, but tears covered my face. Out of the concern that crying is ominous during the Chinese New Year, I did my very best to hold back my tears. After I finished an hour of standing exercises, I sat on a couch and cried again.

At night when I read “Ritual Anointment,” I understood that Master had purified my body. I shared my miraculous experience with my family. I felt extremely grateful to Master. I was so excited that I cried. It was miraculous and difficult for me to believe, as I used to be an atheist. My husband and children listened to me attentively. This experience has laid a foundation for them to support me in my Dafa cultivation and perhaps validate the Fa later on.

Cultivating, Clarifying the Facts to People Face-to-Face, and Saving Sentient Beings

When I started practicing Falun Dafa, I realized it is wonderful. And when fellow practitioners brought me Dafa informational materials, I enjoyed reading them. After I finished reading, I took them to the market to give them to vendors. They also enjoyed reading them. So, I asked practitioners to bring me more.

The publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in November 2004 triggered the great wave of quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. I teamed up with Ms. Ding. Whenever there was a farmer’s market, we’d hand out the Nine Commentaries, truth-clarification brochures, and DVDs to people, and helped them quit the CCP.

Although we did that occasionally, the outcome was quite good. Some people decided to quit the CCP right then and there, some didn’t show their stance immediately, but still took the informational materials, and said they would read them later.

During the Chinese New Year, Ms. Ding and I met a wine distributor. We clarified the facts to him and gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries. As soon as he grabbed it, he loudly said that we were against the CCP. He said he was the Youth League representative in that area, and the CCP was heading in a good direction despite being corrupt.

We weren’t scared by him, but rather said to him peacefully, “The heavens will eliminate the CCP. Nobody can change that. Falun Dafa teaches people to pursue kindness, and be good people. Because the CCP persecutes Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa), it will be punished by heaven. If you don’t want to read our materials, please return them to us.” He immediately changed his tone and said, “I’ll read them.” I said, “Please read carefully.” He agreed.

As my heart was on the Fa, I thought about saving people at all times. Master also arranged for people with predestined relationships to see me. One time, before going to the market, I put air in my bike tires, but as soon as I arrived at the market, I had a flat tire again. I thought this must have happened for a reason. I looked around and saw a tire repair shop nearby. Even though I went to the market often enough, I had never noticed that store before. I pushed my bicycle to the front of the shop and asked the owner if I could borrow his tire pump. Then I clarified the facts about Dafa to him and he agreed to quit the CCP. I also gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries and Dafa informational materials. He said there were a few people sitting in his store, and he would share everything with them.

One time, I went for a haircut and helped the hairdresser quit the CCP. She was delighted and came up with a pseudonym on her own. She also accepted a copy of the book Zhuan Falun from me. Another time I went to see her, she told me that she became afraid of swearing at people, as she knew she’d lose virtue. I also helped her daughter, and two staff members quit the CCP.

Prior to cultivation, due to competing for fame and self-interest, I experienced conflicts with my sister-in-law, and we no longer associated with each other. One day, Ms. Ding said, “You should go to your sister-in-law’s home to clarify the facts to her family, so they will also be saved.” I said, “I won’t go. As they wronged me in the past.”

After that, I couldn’t fall asleep at night and felt uneasy. I came to enlighten that I was wrong, as I used human principles to judge who was right and wrong. As a practitioner, how could I be the same as an ordinary person? She and I are in-laws in this lifetime, who knows how great a predestined relationship we had in history. I’m Master’s disciple, my mission is to save sentient beings. As a cultivator, we have no enemies. How could I not save them?

Next morning, I shared my thoughts with Ms. Ding, and said that I would go and see them. As my sister-in-law’s granddaughter had just turned one month, I bought her a set of baby clothes and an ornament. She received me cordially, but didn’t agree to quit the CCP. Later on, when Ms. Ding and I were on our way to the market and passed by her home, I went to clarify the facts to her again, and gave her Dafa informational materials. She said to me in a joking way, “The guide came back, we all agree to quit this time.” Then she grabbed a pen and paper and put down all their names. She also said she believed in the existence of high-level beings.

Producing Informational Materials – Fulfilling my Mission and Remembering my Vow

The local coordinating practitioner suggested setting up a material production site at my home in the summer of 2006. My family environment was fairly good, as my husband, daughter and son all supported my cultivation, so I agreed. I also wanted to surf the Minghui website. Master arranged for a practitioner with technical background to deliver a computer and printer to me at the end of 2007. I produced and downloaded Dafa materials, sent the lists of names of people quitting the CCP to the Minghui website, as well as printing and laying out the informational materials pertaining to special cases. I wanted to support our local practitioners. I came to enlighten that this was my vow, and what I was supposed to do.

In the beginning, I didn’t even know how to use a mouse. When I asked my son to teach me, he wasn’t very happy and complained that I was too dumb. When I wanted to make some notes, he said if I were to do that, it meant I didn’t want to memorize things. Sometimes I couldn’t maintain my xinxing and put pressure on him to teach me. At that time, I didn’t look inward, only when I calmed down, did I realize my son’s state was a perfect reflection of my state. I used to have the same personality as him. Even though I corrected myself a great deal after I began to cultivate, I did not completely eliminate my issues. No wonder my son said, “You beat me up when I couldn’t write certain words when I was a kid.” Thank you Master for having arranged this opportunity for me to get rid of my attachments! Through continuous Fa-study later on, I learned many Fa-principles, and understood that a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple must cultivate well and be able to save sentient beings.

When I made the materials at the beginning, my printer always had some issues. Sometimes for a small problem, I still had to bother practitioners with technical background. In Fa-study, Master enlightened me that a Fa-instrument has intelligence. Thus, I often communicated with it. It was very understanding and sometimes even delivered super normal performance.

One market day, a practitioner told me she’d come to pick up some materials at noon. After breakfast, I went to the market where I bought some vegetables and clarified the facts to the vendor, and helped him quit the CCP. After coming home, I began to print materials for that practitioner. All I had on my mind was saving people and I forgot all about connecting the printer with an ink cartridge properly. Only after I finished printing more than 20 copies, did I realize that. But the printouts still came out fine. I made apologies to the printer and then praised it for doing a great job, so that I finished printing them all smoothly before noon time.

But, sometimes when my state wasn’t optimal, it would have an impact on the printer and hinder it from working properly. Once I failed to maintain my xinxing and ran into a conflict with a fellow practitioner. The next day, when I was making the materials, the ink delivery tube suddenly filled with bubbles. I was dumb-founded, but knew it was due to my cultivation state.

I was wrong. After I calmed down I could look inward. I realized that I had the mentality of validating myself, resentment, competitive mentality, jealousy and feeling superior to others. I didn’t acknowledge any of those as my true self, however, the process of cutting myself off from them was extremely painful. What I was holding onto were human attachments—did I really want them? Thinking about that, I became relaxed and calm. From that time onward, when my computer had a small issue, I’d rectify myself first before dealing with that issue. Then my printer would start working.

By then our village had set up four family-based material printing sites, which lessened my burden. I could go out with fellow practitioners to clarify the facts to people every day. My son bought a small three-wheel vehicle for me, which I used to take other practitioners out to save people. I realized using my ability to save sentient beings is the responsibility and mission of a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple.

In my cultivation, I also realized when I wanted to slack off, I’d be alerted as long as I logged onto the Minghui website, saw Master’s picture, and read experience sharing articles on righteous thoughts and actions. My righteous thoughts would also come forth. I’m a disabled person and hardly shared with other practitioners, but after reading articles on the Minghui website, I could learn from other practitioners. I felt like going home when I was on the Minghui website. I was able to come this far only because of Master’s benevolent guidance, and the selfless contribution of those practitioners working on the Minghui website.

Eliminating My Competitive Mentality Amid the Persecution and Validating Dafa

Practitioners in our area were reported to the police in 2011. I was one of the practitioners that were arrested. In the police station, I didn’t cooperate, refused to give my name, or sign any documents.

But, I clarified the facts to them with a competitive mentality. On the way, I asked a police officer where I was being taken. He said he didn’t know. I said, “Why did you come here in the middle of the night? Do you need armed men to arrest a few housewives? Do you know that you are persecuting good people who follow the principles Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance?” They didn’t say anything. Later a practitioner told me, while I was saying that, they laughed at me.

Upon arriving at the detention center, I was dumb-founded. How could I be in such a place? I began to look inward. How could I be a practitioner? I lacked compassion, moreover, those police officers were also sentient beings deceived by the evil CCP.

Right then, Master’s words came into my mind,

“Mercy can melt heaven and earth into springRighteous thought can save people of the world”(“Fa Rectifies the Cosmos,” Hong Yin II)

I began to recall the Fa that I had recited before. The cell had surveillance equipment installed. But regardless, except for eating my meals and sleeping, I recited the Fa, did the exercises, and sent forth righteous thoughts non-stop.

The next day, people from my local police station arrived. From their conversation, I learned that Master had protected all my equipment. He was waiting for me to get out from there and save sentient beings. This was not the place for me to stay. My mission wasn’t over yet. I told them I wanted to go home. One police officer said I could report to the detention center by putting together some materials. I enlightened that it was Master enlightening me, to have me clarify the facts to them.

Then, fellow practitioners hinted that I should go on a hunger strike to resist the persecution. I bought a large piece of poster paper. With a compassionate mindset, I put down the many positive changes I had experienced while cultivating. I also wrote down how my family has benefited, that Dafa has been spread to more than 100 countries, and it is openly practiced in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao; how many proclamations it has received worldwide, the amazing effect it has on health and well being, and so on. Then I showed it to the guard on duty. After he finished reading it, he said, “How dare you promote Falun Gong here? Even people from your local police station won’t let you go home, let alone me.”

I wasn’t moved, but thought what he said didn’t count, only what my Master said counts. Then I went on a hunger strike. After every meal, guards would ask fellow practitioners if I had my meal. They said even though I didn’t want to eat, they still had to serve me. I wasn’t moved by superficial appearances, but continued to write truth-clarification materials on cigarette cases. When the guard on duty came in and checked on me, I gave him the cigarette cases. He took them and said: “If you want to show us, then you at least have to write on a piece of paper”. I said I didn’t have any paper. Then he brought me two pieces of A4 size paper, on which I wrote down the truth of Dafa. After I finished writing, I passed them to the guard on duty.

On the morning of the 5th day, when I was sending forth righteous thoughts by myself, I heard a sound. When I opened up my eyes, I saw the Chief and guard on duty standing right in front of me. The Chief asked me why I didn’t go out to get my name called. I said I couldn’t. He said I shouldn’t always stay inside the cell, and encouraged me to go outside to get some sunshine. I thanked him for his good intent. At night, a guard brought me a bowl of delicious wonton. But, I didn’t touch it.

On the sixth day, the Chief had me call my family and ask them to come see me, saying that this was a special approval for me, as nobody was authorized to visit anyone at their bedside. I knew that Master had cleaned up the evil in other dimensions, so that one’s kind side was revealed. In the afternoon, a police officer from my local police station came back, telling me I had to eat, if I didn’t, how could they face my family if I were to be released the next day. He said he wouldn’t leave until I ate something. Then they had a fellow practitioner bring the meal to my bedside. When the Chief said to bring a few apples for me shortly, I said, “Thank you. But please save the hassle.”

I understood that the evil persecution was completely dismantled. On the next day, my family came to take me home. Our local police station also dispatched a vehicle to pick me up. Therefore, after seven days, I arrived home in an dignified manner.

The Buddha Light Shines on My Family

My daughter had been married for six years, but was still not pregnant. Even though she went all over the place to find a cure, it was in vain. In June 2015, the great tide of bringing the former CCP leader Jiang Zemin to justice was initiated. After I sorted out my prosecuting letter, it wasn’t convenient for me to go out to mail it. When I asked my daughter’s help, she said, “Of course.” She went in the morning to the post office, and I received the confirmation the next day.

Another time, a practitioner came to my home to sort out her letter accusing Jiang Zemin for his role in the persecution, saying she typed very slowly. Upon hearing that, my daughter gave the practitioner a hand,and helped her get the letter typed up quickly.

Miraculously, after a few days, my daughter suddenly felt belly pain and started vomiting as soon as she ate. A practitioner wondered if she was pregnant this time. I asked my daughter to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!” Then Master would safeguard her. Then, she went to hospital for a check up. The doctor informed her she was pregnant. She knew she had benefited from Dafa, and we deeply felt Master’s compassion from this.

Now my grandson is 6 years old. He is a clever and lovely boy. When he was three years old, he could recite many poems from Hong Yin and sing Dafa songs. One time, I rinsed some grapes and a peach for him. He said, “Grandma, let me have Master eat them first.” Then he used his little hands to do Heshi and said, “Master, please eat this peach and some grapes.”

As soon as the lock-downs were lifted in 2021, I took him and a fellow practitioner to clarify the facts. At the village, I ran into two middle-school students, I clarified the facts to them and helped them quit the CCP and its youth organizations. During the summer vacation in 2021, I rode my small tricycle to take him and another practitioner to clarify the facts to people face-to-face. Every time we ran into a predestined person, he was always in a rush to give them informational materials and truth-clarification amulets.

My family supports my cultivation. They all know the evilness of the CCP. In addition, my husband, daughter, son-in-law and son all participated in bringing Jiang to justice. They have also received the receipts from the High Prosecution and Supreme Court. I understood everything was arranged by Master a long time ago.

Thinking back on my 18 years of Fa-rectification cultivation, for me to have come this far, my elevation at every step is inseparable from Master’s guidance and empowerment. I cannot express in words my gratitude for Master’s support. Only by assimilating to Dafa, being compassionate to sentient beings—just like how Master treasures us—and seizing the time to save people, can I accomplish our mission in assisting Master and saving sentient beings. Thank you Master!
