I Am the Luckiest Person

(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa in January 1998, when I was 25 years old. I’m still excited whenever I recall the time I first began to practice. I am lucky to have obtained the great way or Fa of the cosmos. Twenty-five years have passed, and I have experienced many trials and tribulations along the way. But Master never gave up on me, despite my shortcomings. I would like to share a few stories as a testament to Master’s mighty virtue and Dafa’s beauty.

A Turning Point in My Life

I had many illnesses by the age of 25. My gynecological disease was severe, and I had backaches all year long. I experienced pain and bloating in my lower abdomen, and I was often tired. I also had rhinitis and stomach problems. I didn’t dare to eat cold or hard foods. Catching colds and having a fever was very common for me.

I was introverted and liked to have a quiet family life. My husband, however, liked to have friends around. He often went to restaurants, played mahjong, and came home late, leaving me and our young child home alone. Our marital relationship wasn’t bad, as he pitched in with household chores. But I felt lonely and didn’t feel safe when he was away. I was also constantly worried about my husband taking phone calls. He always left after answering calls from friends.

I was lucky to have a turning point in my life in 1998. I took my child to my parents’ home for the winter break. My parents were Dafa practitioners. Seeing them healthy and energetic, I was very happy. My mother gave me the book Zhuan Falun. Initially, I thought the practice was for the elderly to keep fit. However, I was deeply impressed by the content of the teachings. It was the first time I heard of the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. So when my mother asked if I would like to practice Falun Dafa, I emphatically agreed.

I went to a practitioner’s home to watch Master’s video lecture series every night. About 10 people attended, and everyone was very kind. The atmosphere at the practitioner’s home was so peaceful! Both my mind and body underwent big changes after watching the nine lectures. I knew I would follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance from then on. Master purified my body, and all the discomfort I had disappeared.

I knew that I was a cultivator and no longer an ordinary person. I went to a store and the owner gave me extra change of about 80 yuan. I returned it right away. I knew it was a test to see if I could get rid of the attachment to seeking gain. In a short time, I felt relieved and happy, and my view of the world changed. I still feel excited whenever I think about that time. I’m grateful for Master changing me from a selfish person to one who considers others and takes fame and gain lightly. I became healthy in both mind and body.

When I returned home a month later, my body felt light and very comfortable. I worked for three days straight and didn’t feel tired at all. I became optimistic and could tolerate my husband’s socializing with friends. My family life is now full of happiness!

Treating People Kindly

An elderly couple lives across from my apartment. Usually the wife is at home, while the husband does farm work in the village. The wife didn’t know how to deal with many issues, such as intermittent problems with running water, restarting the gas stove, and how to use the water heater etc. I was patient and helped her solve the problems. In winter, I helped her to measure the size of the door to her balcony and installed a thermal curtain.

The woman has two daughters who both work out of town, so I helped her connect to our WiFi for video chats. She often mentions me to her children, saying she has such a good neighbor. I told her that I practice Falun Dafa and Dafa teaches people to be good. I also asked her to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and not to believe the propaganda on TV that defames Falun Dafa.

One of my colleagues has been retired for many years. She lives alone and asks for my help whenever she can’t handle something. The building she lives in doesn’t have a good heating system, so I helped her to purchase thermal curtains. The curtains were mailed to her home, and she waited for me to install them.

Unfortunately, it started snowing the night before our appointment. I didn’t know what to do. I thought, “Since it’s so cold, thermal curtains were needed.” So I carried a ladder through the snow and went to her home. She was shocked when she opened the door. She didn’t think I would show up and asked me how I got there. I told her it was hard to get a taxi, so I walked. She was so touched and said Falun Dafa practitioners were so kind and different from other people!

Although these things seem insignificant, Dafa gradually forges practitioners through trivial matters to help them become more kind and considerate.

More than 20 years have passed, and I was illegally detained in labor camps twice. However, Dafa has been deeply rooted in my life. I’m lucky to be a disciple of revered Master.

Thank you, Master!
