(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2000. Over these 25 years, I’ve had many trials and tribulations. I’d like to tell you about some of my experiences.
From the day I started cultivating in Dafa, I strove to hold myself to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I tried to be selfless and always consider others first.
Not long after I started practicing Falun Dafa, my wife had an affair. Our child was three years old at the time. The other man was young and unmarried, seven or eight years younger than her, and from our village. We knew each other well.
She knew his parents would never approve. I realized my wife lost her sense of reason under the influence of this morally corrupted society. I tried to talk to her calmly, but she wouldn’t listen. I also spoke to the young man without resentment or blame, and he agreed to end the relationship, but she refused to let go.
I had moments of emotional turmoil, anger, and even thoughts of revenge. I considered divorce, but then what? I knew the young man would not truly accept her. If we divorced her life would no longer be stable. Our family, including our child wouldn’t understand and they would reject her. Divorce might preserve my dignity as a man, but she would lose her happiness and peace of mind. It would create two broken souls and a broken home.
After discussing it with my family, for the sake of the young man and our family, I decided to resolve this situation by moving away. My wife and I moved to the city, and the matter was ended without further escalation.
Master said,
“Have a bigger and bigger heart, to the point where in your personal cultivation you can forgive everyone, including forgiving your enemies.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia”)
As a Dafa practitioner, I aspire to be someone who holds no resentment, seeks no revenge, and forgives from a place of understanding. Everything has its karmic reason. I want to resolve resentment with kindness.
My friend and I drove a small flatbed truck to the countryside to load radishes. We overloaded the truck, and on the highway back to the city, one of the rear tires suddenly burst. At that critical moment, I shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!” Miraculously, the swaying truck stabilized and stopped.
Not only did the truck not overturn, no other vehicles came up behind us. Had there been a vehicle close by, it surely would have crashed into us, potentially causing a serious accident. My friend, though not a practitioner, understood the truth about Dafa. Both of us were safe and unharmed because of Master’s compassionate protection.
Another time, I went with four non-practitioner friends in a double-cabin light truck to another area to look for fruit suppliers. The five of us took turns driving. In the middle of the night, it was the chubby guy’s turn to drive. While driving, he dozed off. Just as the truck veered sharply off the highway, I shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!” A small tree on the roadside caught the truck, preventing it from overturning. The truck smoothly drove into a ditch and continued for more than 75 yards before coming to a halt.
The truck wasn’t seriously damaged, only the side rail was bent by the tree as the truck entered the ditch. All five of us were unharmed. Two of the men knew the truth about Dafa, and the other two did not oppose Dafa. Those who understand the truth were once again saved from danger by compassionate Master.
One day in the fall of 2001, several practitioners and I were riding bicycles along a nearby road to post truth-clarification adhesive flyers and spray-paint messages. I was walking along the road with my bike, posting stickers as I went. Just then, a large truck came toward me from the opposite direction. The driver had his high beams on, blinding me so badly that I couldn’t see anything. As a result, I, along with my bike, tumbled into a ditch. To my surprise, when I landed at the bottom, I was standing up, still holding the bike, with not even a scratch on my body. Normally, a fall like that would at least result in bruises or bleeding, or possibly broken bones. I knew it was our compassionate Master who protected me.
Around 2016, five of us practitioners drove over 50 miles to hang truth-clarification posters and banners. On the way back, it was late at night, and three practitioners were asleep. It began to snow lightly, and the road was slippery. About 20 to 25 miles from home, at a bend in the road, a large truck came from the opposite direction, speeding with its high beams on, crossed the center-line and took up half of our lane. Blinded by the strong lights, I could barely make out the shape of the oncoming vehicle. With no other choice, I swerved to the right while slamming on the brakes. Because the road was slippery, our car slid into a deep ditch on the opposite side of the road. The one practitioner who was awake immediately shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!”
The car flipped once and landed upside down at the bottom of the ditch. We were not injured and climbed out. Only one older practitioner who had been asleep in the back seat suffered minor fractures to three ribs. He didn’t receive any injections or take any medication. Instead, through Fa study and doing the exercises, he fully recovered in less than a month.
There was only minor damage to the car’s roof, doors, and trunk. This serious accident was safely resolved under Master’s compassionate protection, which once again demonstrated the extraordinary and miraculous power of Dafa.
Surviving one car accident might be considered lucky. However, stepping away unharmed from four accidents, doesn’t it show that we had divine protection? Just one phrase, “Falun Dafa is good,” kept me safe again and again—isn’t that miraculous!?
Some people don’t understand, and ask why practitioners go out to tell people about Dafa. Police officers tell us, “Just practice at home. Why take the risk of being arrested or beaten just to tell others about Dafa?” Here’s what I want to tell people: Falun Dafa practitioners only wish that everyone can learn the truth about Dafa, then turn misfortune into blessings and stay safe in times of danger!
Since childhood, we’ve all heard many mythical stories. But today, those “myths” are unfolding around us. It all depends on whether people can cherish this rare opportunity, and whether they, too, can be blessed.
I’ve repeatedly experienced Dafa’s miracles and my xinxing improved, but I won’t mention it here. I hope that through my personal experiences, people can see through the Chinese Communist Party’s accusations and slander against Falun Dafa, aren’t fooled by its lies and propaganda, will learn the truth about Dafa and be saved.
