(Minghui.org) By the time I was in my 30s, I had come down with many illnesses, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, hepatitis, insomnia, low blood pressure, neurasthenia, and stomach problems. I could not eat cold, hard, or raw food. When my cervical vertebra flared up, it was so painful that I would roll around on the bed when the lumbar vertebra hurt. I couldn’t turn over by myself when lying on the bed and would need help. Given such a painful situation, I went to many places looking for a cure, but to no avail. One day, I met a friend who told me that she was practicing Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa). She said that this practice was quite good, having miraculous effects on curing illnesses. She also had a book that she could lend me.
After that, she gave me the book. I had yet to read it, but she asked if I had read it. When I told her that I had not yet, she said that if I did not want to read it, she would take it back. I replied that I would read it, so that night after dinner, I started reading the book Zhuan Falun. The words “Zhuan Falun” were written on the cover of the book, and the more I read it, the more I liked it. I read more than 100 pages that night. Since that day, I felt that what was written in the book was really good, so I would read it as I cooked and ate. At that time, I did not know that this was disrespectful to Master and the Fa. I just liked reading it and did not want to let go of it. Since then, I began to cultivate, and was so happy every day. Without realizing I also recovered from my illnesses. I felt light when I walked. It was in 1997 when I was in my 40s.
Distributing Informational Materials to Save People
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution on July 20, 1999. We were illegally detained and persecuted in the neighboring county’s detention center. We knew that there were a few practitioners there, so after we were released, we decided to go to the neighboring county to distribute informational materials after finishing our county. The sentient beings there also needed to be saved.
On the first day, we got all the materials ready and decided which village to go to. On the second day, a few of us rode bicycles to the neighboring village to distribute the materials. The round trip was more than 30 miles and took half a day. At that time, we were all in our 40s and 50s. When we distributed the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, everyone carried a box of books, while some used their bags to carry the materials. It took two to three people per village, then we would also meet by the side of the village before returning to our respective homes after everyone showed up. With Master watching over us, we were very successful and did not feel tired.
Later, more buildings were built in our county, so we visited all the floors in the new buildings. Be it 20 or 30 floors, we would place the materials on every door handle without missing any home. In the past, we took the elevator up and walked down to do the distribution. However, the current elevators are installed with surveillance cameras. These cameras give a really clear image, so we took the stairs to the top floor and started distributing downwards. We asked the practitioners who have relatives and friends in the different local communities to replicate a set of key cards for a unit’s door or the key card for the main entrance.
I once went to a local community to distribute materials. This community was a 27-floor building, so I pressed the lift button to take me up to the top level. There was a man in his 60s there; I didn’t care about him and started distributing the materials from the top. By the time I reached the eighth floor, that man was waiting for me there. I did not pay attention to him and continued distributing. He then caught hold of my shirt and said that he was the building’s security guard, insisting on sending me to the police station. When I tried to clarify the truth to him, he would not listen. I thought to myself that I could not let him commit a crime against Dafa and ruin himself. I must save him. With this thought, I really felt that Master was helping me. All the bad thoughts disappeared, and there was no tinge of fear at all. That man was not that fierce, either.
I told him, “I am bringing bliss to the people in this community. There are so many natural disasters and calamities. We are just trying to help people learn about the truth and recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good’ with a sincere and respectful heart, because that can help them avert disasters. Hearing that, he released his grip on me. He said that we were against the Party. I told him that we were not.
I said, “People nowadays believe in the existence of divinity. The more educated a person is, the higher their status in society, the more they will go to the temples to worship and pay their respect to the divinity.
“Aren’t the divine beings saving sentient beings? Aren’t they full of great benevolence and compassion? Isn’t the CCP promoting atheism? When you oppose the divine beings, where will they position you? Human beings are created by the divine. If you do not acknowledge the divine beings, they are going to eliminate you. The pandemic that is happening now comes for the evil Party’s members.”
He asked me to leave, but I told him that I had yet to clarify the truth to him clearly, and he had yet to fully understand. Despite so, he used all his might to push me outside. I thought that I would talk to him if there was another chance next time, and I left that community. Recalling that time, it was really Master watching his disciples by their sides.
We Really Cannot Succeed in Our Cultivation Without Master’s Protection
I rode a bicycle to settle some matters 10 years ago. It was snowing, but I rode quite fast, due to my impatient nature, and I fell at a turn. I fell so hard that I could not breathe. Despite this, I was clear about what was happening in my mind. I thought to myself that this was not a big matter and there should be no problem. But, I just could not breathe, and I called out, “Master, I am in the wrong. I got anxious again.” I immediately became fine, got up, cleared the snow off my body, and continued on my way to settle the matter. I knew that it was Master who had suffered the hardship for me. Master is really watching over us every minute.
The last Chinese New Year, I went to a practitioner’s house to settle some matters. I was walking very quickly, and I was anxious too. When I entered the main entrance and made a turn, I did not notice the ice on the ground and walked straight forward. I fell once again, sounding really loud like the falling of a tree trunk. The practitioner’s son heard it, and rushed to me. Seeing that I was not moving, he asked if he should inform my family. Once again, I was not able to breathe. The practitioner’s son also did not dare to touch me. Although I could not breathe, I was clear in my heart. I told Master that I became impatient once again, and I was in the wrong again. Slowly, I recovered. That practitioner’s son pulled me up, I wiped the ice off my clothes, and went to that practitioner’s house and did what I needed to there.
The most recent case was when I finished downloading the Minghui Weekly, I shut down my computer, and was about to store it. I held the computer upright and made one step forward. I did not know why, but I fell forward, and the vertical edge of the computer hit my chest. I could not breathe again. But I did not think badly about what would happen to me or what was wrong with me. I seemed to know that I had repaid for another life that I had taken in the past. I recalled Master’s lecture about benevolent resolution. After a while, I got up and continued to do what I should do. Later, I was changing my clothes when I accidentally saw a purple palm-sized bruise on the front of my chest. It was very purple. Once, a practitioner accidentally saw a recess in my front chest. I looked into the mirror and saw a dent in my bones.
We really cannot cultivate successfully without Master’s protection. There are disturbances from all sides, and creditors. Can we manage them? We cannot resolve them at all. Thank you, Master.
In the remaining limited time, I all the more need to make efforts to cultivate myself well, so as not to let Master’s expectation down. While doing the three things well, I need to cultivate myself solidly, complete my prehistoric vow, save more sentient beings, and follow Master home.
Articles in which cultivators share their understandings typically reflect an individual's perception at a point in time based on their cultivation state, and they are offered in the spirit of enabling mutual elevation.
