A New Practitioner’s Cultivation Experiences

Jan. 13, 2025 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) I’m a farmer and a housewife. My husband passed away due to a serious illness in 2015. Our family lost its support, and all the burdens fell on my shoulders. It felt as if the sky had fallen on me and I couldn’t breathe. My health was not good and I had to take medicine.

To find a way to make a living, my children and I moved to the nearby county seat in 2018. Someone introduced me to the man who became my second husband. He has a kind heart, and is very good at dealing with people. 

He knew something about Falun Dafa, and said he’d heard that practicing this cultivation way could improve one’s health and help people recover from illnesses. Therefore he advised me to learn the exercises. I was skeptical. I’d previously met several older women who practiced Falun Dafa, and they asked if I’d joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or its youth organizations. I was deeply poisoned by the CCP’s lies, so I was afraid when I heard the words “Falun Dafa.” I said, “Don’t tell me these things. I don’t understand it and I don’t believe you.”

My second husband didn’t practice Falun Dafa, but he had several friends who did. His friends clarified the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution, which moved me. They told me about reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” From the moment I recited those words, I decided to follow Master, the founder of Dafa, and practice Falun Dafa. When I read the main text of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun, in 2021, I saw Master’s photo in the book. I thought that Master has a kind face and looks very amiable.

After I finished reading Zhuan Falun for the first time, there was a sentence that I remember very clearly: “The Sole Measure of Goodness: Zhen, Shan, Ren” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun) I understood from the Fa that when practitioners experience conflicts with others, they should look inward, think about others first, not take advantage of others, and let go of their human attachments. As long as they act based on Dafa, they will definitely regain their true nature.

Six months after I began practicing Dafa I had a dream in which I saw a large ship with a sail. There were many beautiful women sitting on the ship, and they were talking and laughing. I also saw several colorful villages. The scene was realistic and like a fairyland. When I boarded the ship, I suddenly woke up. 

When I told my husband about my dream, he said, “You boarded the Fa ship. Master is watching over you and protecting you.”

I did the exercises every day since then. When I tried to meditate, my legs were so swollen that I couldn’t sit in the lotus position. I didn’t give up and now I can finally sit in the full lotus position and meditate for an hour. I recovered from my high blood pressure, heart disease, headaches and other ailments. I haven’t taken medicine for more than two years. Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dafa!

I used to have a temper and was easily irritated. Through cultivation, my view of life changed, and I no longer have a temper. I get along well with my husband and I never get angry. Looking back, I thank my husband. He helped me so much, enabled me to obtain the Fa and persist in cultivation. Ours must be a predestined relationship. 

People living in this world, please wake up. Many celestial phenomena are happening now. Some people do not have good intentions. Natural and man-made disasters are happening constantly. Don’t let the CCP’s lies blind you. Only by understanding the truth can you have a better future.
