(Minghui.org) Once I began to memorize the Fa, I understood what cultivation practice is about. Studying the Fa well and clarifying the truth is crucial to our mission, as by memorizing the Fa, we’re able to assimilate to Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance on a deeper level.

I’ve gained new insights and a better understanding of these principles when memorizing and reciting the Fa. I’ve subsequently experienced many miraculous things. Given renewed righteous thoughts, I work with a team of practitioners to rescue persecuted practitioners and clarify the truth to officials of law enforcement, the judicial branch, and various government agencies.

Dedicating Myself to Memorizing the Fa

I used to have a difficult time focusing my mind when I read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, and therefore never enlightened to the higher meanings of the Fa. With few righteous thoughts and many human notions, I fell prey to the old forces’ arrangements. Since the onset of the crackdown in 1999, I have been targeted by the authorities and subjected to relentless persecution. Although my faith in Dafa never wavered, the constant threat of violence and imprisonment took a toll on me—I was mentally and physically exhausted!

I began to memorize and recite the Fa within my first year of taking up the practice, but got stuck at Lecture Four of Zhuan Falun due to interference. I tried a few times to start up again, but quickly gave up, yet I remained hopeful that one day I would memorize and be able to recite Zhuan Falun in its eternity.

Seeing that I had this wish, Master arranged for a practitioner to help me. During a visit in January 2018, I mentioned to the practitioner that I had always wanted to recite the Fa. He shared that he and his family had recently started memorizing the Fa, “How about you just start?” I was so inspired I began that very day and promised Master I would persevere.

It took me more than a year to memorize Zhuan Falun the first time. Then it became easier as I went through it again. I have now memorized and recited Zhuan Falun more than a dozen times, and have continued to keep it up. Each time I finished the entire the book, Master arranged a surprise to encourage me—it’s truly special! I’ve seen Master’s Fashen (law body) multiple times. It’s such a magnificent and solemn sight. Master’s Fashen has blue curly hair and wears a golden Buddhist robe.

Master Purified My Body

I encountered a xinxing test the first time I memorized Zhuan Falun. But when I kept the Fa in mind while thinking through the problem, my true nature dominated and compassion arose from within me. After sending righteous thoughts at midnight one night, I lay down in bed and saw Master’s Fashen stepping out of his picture on the wall. I couldn’t move my body, but my celestial eye (third eye) vision, and my thoughts were clear.

Master’s Fashen brought his pointer and middle finger together and reached behind my ear. I saw two golden gong (energy) columns arise from behind my ear and shoot straight up through the ceiling. The gong had extracted a heavy substance from the microscopic level of my body. Master then pinched a small strand of my hair and pulled another substance from the roots to the tips, as if spinning silk.

I experienced this three times. Master cleansed and purified my body from the most microscopic level. The process only seemed to take a few minutes, which was accompanied by thunder and lighting outside my window. I couldn’t move my body until it was done. But when I checked the clock on my nightstand, half an hour had passed in our dimension. And it was tranquil and still outside—a clear night indeed!

Master Adjusted My Chin

Around the time I finished reciting Zhuan Falun for the third time, I couldn’t move my body as soon as I lay down. An invisible finger with powerful twirling energy tilted my chin up slightly and held it for just a few seconds. A thought was then communicated to me through telepathy—my appearance had been changed!

When I looked in the mirror the next day, I found my chin was adjusted, and my facial features were more symmetrically framed. I looked completely different -- it was such an incredible experience! I had repeating dreams of looking into a mirror when I first obtained the Fa. Master showed me what I looked like when I first came to this world; my image was solemn and beautiful!

Master showed me even more miraculous power soon after my chin was adjusted. Being blacklisted by the authorities for my faith, I couldn’t use my identification card. However, I ran into a situation when I had to go through a police checkpoint. Anyone without an ID was scanned using facial recognition technology and searched for in a database. My picture was taken and scanned but the search didn’t find a matching profile. I knew right away, “Master is helping me!”

The officer’s frown smoothed out, “You can go now.” I got through the checkpoint and went right back to helping Master save sentient beings. Master guides me in my cultivation, eliminates my karma, and watches over me at all times. He is endlessly compassionate toward his disciples and sentient beings. The beings in the celestial bodies connected to me are truly blessed!

Looking Inward to Truly Cultivate

As I recite and assimilate to the Fa each day, I gain new insights and feel great joy. It has now become easier to improve myself and pass xinxing tests, as I seem to readily remember Dafa’s requirements. The Fa principles addressing the problem at hand just come to mind. I’m also more aware of Master’s hints and know it when he strengthens me.

We all know from Master’s teachings that “looking inward” is the most effective way to cultivate oneself. Through memorizing the Fa, looking inward comes naturally—I instinctively examine myself when conflicts arise. My tone of voice has softened, making me sound friendlier. I’m more understanding and tolerant, as well as able to look at things from others’ perspective and be considerate of their feelings. The way I speak and act reflects less and less of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) indoctrination.

Ordinary people and cultivators alike have noticed the changes in me. A practitioner I had not seen for a while came to visit, and the first thing she said was, “You’ve changed so much!” Another practitioner that I had not seen for two years told me, “You’re completely different now!”

Miracles I’ve Witnessed

Master continues to show me many miracles as I look inward and focus on cultivating myself. My throat felt scratchy one day, and I instinctively thought, “It’s probably because I ate...” Before the thought was complete, I caught myself and looked for the human notion that caused this incorrect thought. My main consciousness knew to look within.

As the thought of looking inward formed, I was able to identify the notion. I was then shown a celestial body from a different dimension right in front of my chest. There was an immense starry night sky that rotated in the form of a big, beautiful Falun. The rotating Falun flushed out a substance consisting of particles from the most microscopic level of my body. The substance that caused the discomfort in my throat dissipated in a matter of a seconds. My incorrect state was rectified, and I felt cool relief!

Memorizing the Fa made my thoughts simple and pure, and my mind became focused. My righteous thoughts have also grown increasingly powerful. I only need to recite the auspicious phrase “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” one time before things turn around and go my way.

I once had a toothache and knew I was getting rid of karma from a microscopic level. I focused my mind and articulated each character in perfect Mandarin, “Falun Dafa is good.” It was just one time, and my tooth was back to normal.

A co-worker of mine suffered from a similar toothache. She sought treatment at the hospital and was given medication and injections that cost more than 1,000 yuan. But in the end, she experienced bleeding, inflammation, and damaged nerves. I told her to recite the auspicious phrase and she was fine after only a few days.

Rescuing Fellow Practitioners

I’ve initiated and participated in a project rescuing persecuted practitioners since early 2021. From the moment a practitioner is arrested, we start clarifying the truth to the involved police officers and law enforcement officials. As the case moves through the legal system, we reach out and clarify the truth to officials of different levels at the Procuratorate, Court and Judicial Administration, and Political and Legal Affairs Committee, along with other government agencies and officials.

We’ve also clarified the truth in legal documents we filed, paperwork we submitted, and in personal letters to key officials. We also used greeting cards downloaded from the Minghui website and distributed them at every in-person exchange we had. We wanted to help all who were involved to correctly position themselves and be saved. By the time a case reaches the end of the legal process, the defendant practitioner usually ends up receiving a reduced sentence or is acquitted.

Having worked on this project for the past few years, I found my realm elevated and my purpose shifted from selfish motives to only working for the benefit of others. I’m able to look at any matter at hand from different angles and from the other party’s perspective.

A Successful Case Study

There was a case in which the judges decided after the first hearing that the defendant was to pay a fine and would then be free to go home. This practitioner had been imprisoned for practicing Falun Dafa before, so many practitioners thought a fine was satisfactory compared to a prison sentence. The practitioner didn’t want to appeal the decision because he was afraid the judges would refer to his prior record and change their minds.

I shared the case on a forum with practitioners experienced in rescuing arrested practitioners and received sound advice and encouragement. After discussing the case with the defendant practitioner, we decided to appeal. By counteracting the wrongful persecution, we hoped to save sentient beings—we’re doing this for the benefit of others! The practitioner’s previous record of imprisonment should not be acknowledged whatsoever. By denying the old forces’ arrangements altogether, we left no grounds for persecution and no loopholes that could be exploited.

After we filed the appeal, the Intermediate Court judges formed a panel and held a preliminary hearing. They told us that the case had attracted the attention of other court officials. The judges ignored the many instances in which the defendant was denied due process and only focused on the practitioner’s previous record of imprisonment. They then asked the practitioner to reiterate exactly what happened.

I logged onto the forum to get answers and feedback from the legal experts. They responded, “A previous sentence doesn’t automatically translate into having committed a crime. As practitioners, we should always act in a dignified and upright manner. Do not back down no matter what. Remember, Master is always watching over you!”

Inspired, we were confident and excited to move the case forward. It would be more likely to touch people’s hearts if we exposed the CCP’s crimes. Officials from law enforcement and government agencies would then be more receptive to the truth.

All the practitioners who participated in this project worked as one body and cooperated well with one another. We completely rejected the old forces’ arrangements and stopped their attempts to destroy sentient beings. We needed to find a way to expose and disintegrate the evil!

Practitioners on the forum shared that any sign of compromising or backing down would give way to the old forces’ nefarious schemes. Our only option was to keep going forward on the path to divinity. Since the judge of the appeals court took part in the practitioner’s first sentencing, this was a process of saving the judge and giving him a second chance to reposition himself.

I sifted through the practitioner’s statement from his previous case and attached a copy to his current case file. I then wrote truth-clarification letters in the name of the defendant practitioner and sent them to the judges from the first hearing, as well as the appeals court, the prosecutors, the attorney general, president of the court, the People’s Congress, the People's Political Consultative Conference, the Commission for Discipline, law enforcement, and other agencies.

In the letters, I told the officials how the practitioner had been wrongfully accused and sentenced. I then brought up the CCP’s newly issued policy that holds each individual accountable for carrying out “illegal decisions or orders,” and that “[harm] caused by intentional or gross negligence shall not be affected by the unit, position, rank, or retirement status of the person responsible. These officials will be held accountable!”

I asked the officials to give this consideration before making a decision, and reminded all who were involved that they are, in fact, violating the law. I also reassured them that we reserved the right to appeal and would definitely uphold the integrity of the law if they continued on the path of knowingly committing crimes against innocent people. We hoped they would position themselves well and choose wisely.

With Master’s strengthening and sound advice from the legal experts on the forum, we received the desired result.

Without interruption, this practitioner continues on his cultivation path and steadfastly does the three things asked by Master. He clarifies the truth to law enforcement and the judicial branch, and is also helping more predestined people quit the CCP and its youth organizations.

I realize what we do in rescuing practitioners, or any other Dafa projects for that matter, is arranged and overseen by Master for the purpose of helping us eliminate karma. Master is always protecting us!

These are my personal experiences and understanding, which are limited to my level. Please kindly point out anything that is not aligned with the Fa.
