The Most Fortunate People, Doing the Most Meaningful Things

(Minghui.org) When I handed a truth-clarification flyer to a man at the farmers’ market, he said, “What is it?” Then asked, “Is it a Falun Dafa flyer? If it is, I’ll take it. If it’s not, I don’t want it. I agree with you, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is bad and all lies.” I was happy to hear this. The Chinese people are waking up.

We Falun Dafa practitioners are helping Master rectify the Fa. We are the most fortunate group of people doing the most meaningful things.

Longing for a True Cultivation Way

I worked at a factory and took the most sick days. I suffered from gallstones, and had difficulty recuperating after they were removed. After I gave birth, my immune system was so weak that I needed to wear a heavy jacket, hat, and mittens even in the summer.

I only went to elementary school, but my husband is well educated. He’s 14 years older than me and has a daughter from a previous marriage. When I met him, he was at his lowest point in life. I thought marrying him would save him. He was so poor that we couldn’t afford new clothes for our wedding. However, he never appreciated me. He was distant, and said I wasn’t his true love. He didn’t care about me and didn’t treat my parents with respect.

A shaky marriage, poor health, and all the responsibilities of life wore me down. I lived in constant anxiety and exhaustion. On the verge of a mental breakdown, I wanted to abandon all worldly things, take monastic vows to become a nun, and go into the mountains and hide from all my troubles. Yet life’s obligations held me back. I wished to find a cultivation way that allowed me to remain among everyday people and still cultivate.

Finding Falun Dafa and Cultivating Diligently

My son got up early one day in December 1997 and said he saw a tall man in our living room. That day, the workers’ union president at my factory invited me to join him and others to watch videos of Master teaching the Fa. When I opened the Dafa book to the page with Master’s photo, my son immediately recognized him as the man he saw in our living room. I knew Master was already taking care of me, and I decided to practice Falun Dafa.

Soon after I took up the practice, my chronic illnesses disappeared. My body was pain-free for the first time in years. Each day was a gift. I no longer groaned in despair and I was very grateful. Whenever conflicts arose, I looked inward to examine myself, cultivate, and improve my character. My relationship with my husband improved and our family became harmonious. Having witnessed my incredible transformation, my husband has been supportive of my practicing Dafa for the past almost three decades, despite the CCP’s ongoing persecution.

I get up before 3:30 a.m. to do the five exercises, and I haven’t missed a day. As someone in her 70s, my skin is delicate with a healthy glow and very few wrinkles. People are always shocked to learn my real age. They tell me they would have never guessed. This is one of the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa. When I clarify the truth and tell people how I’ve benefited, they are convinced Dafa is good. Many have commented that I look healthy, energetic, and youthful. Someone said, “I believe whatever you say.”

He Was Here to Hear the Truth

I looked out the window as I rode the bus in 2020. A young man ran to the bus, got on, walked all the way to the back and sat next to me. I was reading and memorizing Master’s poems from a hand-copied Hong Yin. He greeted me and said, “You like poems? I like poems, too. Would you like to read my poems and give me some suggestions?”

I told him I didn’t know how to write poems, and I was memorizing the Buddha Fa. I clarified the truth to him and told him that I practiced Falun Dafa. I said I used to suffer from many illnesses and tried different treatments, but nothing worked. Only by practicing Falun Dafa did I regain my health. I told him that regardless of whether it’s Buddhism, Taoism, or Christianity, all righteous beliefs fall within the realm of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. As human beings, we should hold ourselves to these universal values, so we don’t commit wrong deeds. I asked him to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and hoped he would do well at his job, have a bright future, and a happy family.

He shared his story with me. He was still in college and did not date anyone. He sounded like a hardworking young man and treated his parents well. I told him about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation hoax and how Falun Dafa was introduced around the world and is practiced in many countries and regions, yet it’s only persecuted in China. People on the bus listened quietly. We talked as if we were old friends. I told him the importance of quitting the CCP and its youth organizations. He gave me his full name to quit, one character at a time, and added, “Auntie, I believe you and agree with everything you’ve told me today. I will remember what you said.” I told him things would go well for him if he did.

The bus stopped and the young man stood up to get off. He stopped briefly at the door and repeated his name. I watched him get off. He had only ridden the bus for one stop. I knew he was here to hear the truth about Dafa. I was happy for him and thanked Master in my heart.

Clarifying the Truth Without Fear

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2021, I went out to distribute truth-clarification materials. I saw two men chatting on the side of the road and gave each a different booklet. Later that summer, I saw them again in the same spot, and this time several people were with them. One of them saw me and called out excitedly, saying, “Falun Dafa is amazing! For the booklets you gave us, we’ve read them many times. They were so well written, with sound logic and convincing evidence. The Communist regime is truly evil.” He was very receptive to the truth and saw right through the CCP’s lies.

“Yes,” I responded. “The CCP has done many bad things. Heaven will eliminate it. When this happens, you don’t want to go down with it.” I was just about to ask them to quit the CCP and its youth organizations, when a police car pulled up and an officer jumped out. He charged toward us and started taking pictures with his cell phone. It was a tense moment, and many people quickly left. I had no fear in my heart and held on to one thought, “No one can touch me. You have no say in what happens to me.” I calmly helped the two men I was talking to quit the CCP. As it turned out, the police were there for something that had nothing to do with us.

Since then, whenever I ran into similar situations, I sent forth righteous thoughts and never had a problem. Evil lurks everywhere, but if you’re scared, it will be in your heart.

The 610 Office Head

We have a really big farmers’ market in town. Practitioner Bing and I often partner up to clarify the truth to people and distribute Dafa flyers there. Bing lives in a multi-generational household. She is the main caregiver for her elderly parents, cooks for the family, and also helps babysit her grandchildren. She only has two hours each day to clarify the truth, while getting fresh produce for the family. But we work really well together and are very efficient.

Whenever I’m down to my last flier or booklet for the day, I tend to be a little bit more careful in finding the right person to give it to. One time, I saw a man buying apples. I also wanted some apples so I struck up a conversation with him. He explained how to look for a good apple. I was impressed, and complimented him, “Wow! You know so much about produce. You must be a family oriented man. I want to give you this precious booklet.”

He didn’t move, “I don’t have the time to read it.” I insisted, saying it was good for him. He took it, and when he saw it was a copy of Minghui Weekly, he said, “Do you know what I do? I’m the head of the 610 Office here, and in charge of all Falun Dafa cases.”

I wasn’t afraid, smiled, and replied, “They all say that the head of the 610 Office is a job with ‘high fatality rates.’ However, one can go either way, it depends on how you choose. Persecuting good people will create a lot of karmic debts. But if you protect good people and protect Dafa practitioners, you will build up virtue and receive wonderful blessings. You don’t seem like a bad man to me.”

His facial expression softened and so did his attitude, “Okay. I’m not going to arrest you today.” He put his apples in the basket of his motorcycle, sat on the seat and scrolled on his cellphone. The vendor and other customers were careful to not even speak loudly but I was not scared at all because I was saving people and I was doing him a favor. Throughout the years, no one I talked to reported me to the police. I think it’s because Master is watching over me.

Saving Sentient Beings in Earnest

I had an incredible experience while distributing Dafa materials. As soon as I climbed up to the second floor of an apartment building, a door opened and a hand extended from behind the door. I put a Dafa booklet in the hand, “Here you go—a precious booklet.” The hand grabbed it and pulled back in, leaving the door still half open. Everything happened organically and the timing worked out perfectly, not even slightly off, it was as if we had planned it down to the exact second for the delivery of this booklet.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt a strong sense of urgency to let more people know about Dafa so they could be saved. With a big bag of Dafa materials on my back, I headed out one evening in the rain on my bicycle. Hardly anyone was out. Only a few stores were open on both sides of the empty road. I started on one side and went from store to store to give flyers to the storekeepers. I then crossed the road and went from store to store on the other side of the road. I told people, “To stay safe in these turbulent times, please read this flyer carefully.” They all thanked me and some even asked me if they could pay me.

I went from one district to another, and then to the next one, until all the flyers were gone. I was soaked through but I was happy from the bottom of my heart because sentient beings have learned the truth about Dafa.

These are my cultivation experiences. I ask fellow practitioners to please kindly point out anything that is not in line with the Fa.
