(Minghui.org) In November 1997, a neighbor who lived in the same residential building handed me a copy of Zhuan Falun and said, “Take a look at this book!”
By that time, Falun Dafa had spread widely in my area, and there were a lot of people practicing. I began attending Fa-study sessions in the evenings with them. There were over 20 people attending, and I could feel the strong energy field. However, I often felt so sleepy that I struggled to keep my eyes open. But I didn’t understand why.
A few days later, I experienced such intense pain that I couldn’t move or get out of bed. I came to realize that this was a good sign; Master Li was watching over me and purifying my body. Dafa is truly miraculous! For almost 30 years now, I’ve been healthy, and my body feels light. I also no longer need to take any medication.
In July 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched a severe persecution of Falun Dafa. I was determined not to give up my practice, even if it meant sacrificing everything else. Under pressure from higher-ups, my company sent two people to my home and asked me to write a letter guaranteeing that I would stop practicing. I responded, “You won’t allow me to do this wonderful practice?! Give me a pen, and I will explain what this practice is all about.”
So I began writing: “First, my health has improved through a year of practice. Second, I always consider others first in any situation. Third, I look within myself when I face conflicts.” I had just finished these three points when they looked at what I was writing and said, “We asked you to stop practicing, yet you’re writing about how good it is.”
I replied, “If you want me to write, then I can write down that the government doesn’t allow me to practice, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to.” They took my letter and left. The company manager later came over while I was feeding my four children. I said, “It is you who are forbidding me from practicing. I won’t stop this wonderful practice.” Seeing that he could not change my mind, the manager chose to leave.
After the Tiananmen self-immolation was staged, the people at my company were misled. They feared that I would travel to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, so they sent three of my closest coworkers to check on me. I was happy when they came to my home, as I had thought they had dropped by after visiting the nearby market. But I then overheard one of them say, “Let’s come at this time tomorrow.” Something felt off, and I asked, “Why are you here? Did the company send you to keep an eye on me?”
They told me that the manager had sent them over to prevent me from going to Beijing. I responded, “If I had planned to go to Beijing, even if there were more people coming besides you, I could still leave. I don’t need you to watch over me.” Noticing their embarrassment, I softened my tone, “Since you’re here, let’s make the most of it. You can stay and listen to Master Li’s teachings. I’ll make you some steamed dumplings for lunch.”
One of my coworkers fell asleep, while the other two sat and listened. I woke her up and said, “Look, they’re listening, but you fell asleep.” She responded, “Regardless, I didn’t miss a single word.” I was surprised, “That’s even better!”
At noon, as they were about to go home, I said, “Don’t come next time. This is doing a bad deed. I know the manager sent you to watch me. Did I do something bad that warrants this? I’m cultivating Buddhahood and studying the Fa, so please don’t come back.” They promised that they would not come again. Two of them left, and one stayed to have lunch with me.
A while later, I ran into the coworker who slept that day. She mentioned she had severe diarrhea with blood when she returned home. I said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? That’s actually a good thing. Master is purifying your body by expelling decades of toxins.” She was surprised, “How was I supposed to know that?” After my explanation, she understood what was going on, and her health has been exceptional since then.
I have tried to persuade every one of my coworkers to quit the CCP. Whenever I meet them, I say, “Quit now! If you do, your whole family will be blessed by divine beings and Buddhas. It will benefit you in many ways, including your studies and your health.” Many of them agreed to quit. Everyone in the company is my predestined friend. I can’t forget them when I have good things to share.
Dafa Is Infinitely Powerful
The phrase “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” is truly powerful. I will share three examples from my own personal experience.
I was out walking with two fellow practitioners one day when a couple approached us. They were middle-aged, and the man was quite tall. He held one hand up with bent fingers. I said, “Hello, brother, what’s wrong with your fingers?” He didn’t respond. His wife said he had brain surgery and couldn’t speak afterwards. I replied, “I’m sorry. I will tell you a secret. Recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ As long as your heart is sincere, my Master will take care of you.” Seeing that they were listening tentatively, I added, “Now let’s begin to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’”
My companions and I began, and they followed along. As we were reciting, his stiff fingers relaxed, and he suddenly grabbed my arm. I asked him to flex his fingers several times. He was so happy. I said, “I’ll give you a DVD about Falun Dafa, and you can watch it at home. Please remember to say ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ every day, and you’ll get better.”
In early spring, I saw an older man sitting on a rock by the road. I approached him and asked, “Hello, brother, are you resting here?” He muttered, “Uh, huh!” but couldn’t speak clearly. I asked, “Have you taken any medicine?” He waved his hand, indicating that nothing helped. I suggested, “I know of a way for you: reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ If you say it sincerely, my Master will take care of you. Would you like to try it now?”
He smiled but seemed embarrassed. I reassured him, “I’ll start, and you can follow me. Don’t feel embarrassed.” After I began, he muttered something. But after two or three repetitions, he was able to speak, and his voice became clearer. I encouraged him, “Go home and recite it every day. I’ll give you an amulet and some brochures about Falun Dafa to take with you.” He was delighted.
This is my experience: People who were previously unable to speak could talk after reciting “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” just a few times. This demonstrates the power of Dafa—a true miracle in this world!
I once saw a young woman crossing the street. She walked to the middle but stopped. Seeing the busy traffic, I felt a sense of danger. I walked over and asked, “Why are you standing in the middle of the street?” She replied, “I can’t take a step.” Concerned for her safety, I said, “It’s dangerous to be out here in your situation. Where do you want to go? Try taking a step.” Since she couldn’t move, I offered my support. I encouraged her, “Just recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’” She was very receptive, and we began to recite together. I helped her hasten her steps, reciting as we walked. As we made it across the street, she said, “Auntie, thank you! I can walk now!”
I responded, “Don’t thank me, thank my Master. You can continue to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ every day. This is the supreme Fa of the universe. Say it sincerely and respectfully, and my Master will take care of you.” As I watched her walk away, I felt immense gratitude for Master’s compassion.
“I’m a Falun Dafa Practitioner”
Master requires his disciples to always be considerate of others. I hold myself to this standard even in the small matters of daily life.
I gave a vendor 10 yuan to buy some cabbage, and he gave me 10 yuan as change. I smiled and said, “Brother, aren’t you losing money selling vegetables like this?” He asked, “What do you mean?” I explained, “I gave you 10 yuan, and you gave me the vegetables and 10 yuan back.” He was touched, “Thank you, Auntie! You’re so kind! Many people would have kept the change.” I said, “I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner.” This gave me the opportunity to clarify the truth about Dafa to him. And as a result, he decided to quit the CCP’s Young Pioneers.
I was once eating breakfast at a restaurant, and the owner accidentally gave me 10 yuan too much. I immediately returned the extra money to him and took the opportunity to explain the principles of Falun Dafa and the reasons behind the CCP’s persecution. The son of the owner listened to my explanation, learned the facts, and decided to quit the Communist Youth League. Unfortunately, his parents did not make the same choice. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions.
When I was passing by a bus stop, I noticed a mother and her son who were desperate for change to board the bus. They asked if I could exchange a ten-yuan note for them. I searched my pockets and found only four yuan. I said, “You can have it, two yuan for each of you. The bus is coming soon, don’t miss it.” My gesture clearly touched them.
There are many small things like this. I know I’m far from the state of selflessness that Master requires. I will strive to be more diligent on my cultivation path. Thank you, Master!
