Improving My Character and Rejuvenating Myself Physically

(Minghui.org) I am 77 years old, have been practicing Falun Dafa for the past 30 years, and I have enjoyed good health all that time. Thanks to Master Li’s protection, I have also been able to talk to people face to face every day.

Age Spots Disappeared After Improving My Character

A few years ago, I noticed some age spots on both sides of my face. As a Dafa practitioner, I felt really embarrassed to see them.

Last year, a fellow practitioner gave me some handwritten copies of poems from several of the Hong Yin books, which contained quite a few misspellings. This practitioner’s education was minimal. She only attended school for five years during the Cultural Revolution, after which she performed in the so-called “model revolutionary operas.”

We often go out together to talk with people about Falun Dafa and encourage them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations. She is able to help dozens of people quit the CCP each day, but I can only help with about ten. I thought that I must learn her strengths and work on my own cultivation.

I have always been impatient, but I was very patient and corrected all the misspellings in the poems. I then copied them onto a large sheet of paper to show the practitioner where she had made mistakes. Now, when she copies the Falun Dafa poems or lectures, she seldom makes mistakes.

What’s amazing is that the dark spots on my face started to peel away layer by layer. One day, a practitioner said to me, “You have changed. The dark spots on your face have gone.”

I was very grateful to Master for helping me rejuvenate my physical body. Now, I can see the characters in the Dafa books clearly, even those in small fonts. I go out to talk about Falun Dafa every day and do not feel tired, no matter how long I walk. I eat whatever I have in the fridge when I get home, and I sleep very well throughout the night.

Talking to People About Falun Dafa Whenever Possible

One day, a young man said to me, “You haven’t been sick for 30 years. I really envy you. My dad is still in the hospital.”

I explained the benefits of Falun Dafa to him and helped him quit the CCP organizations he had once joined.

I used to be a teacher and genuinely cared about all my students. Before I began cultivating Dafa, even though I was kind to people, I was also selfish and hoped that those I had helped would somehow repay me.

Now that I practice Falun Dafa, I follow Master’s teachings and always help others whenever I can by telling them the facts about the practice and assisting Master in awakening people.

One morning last year, while I was waiting for the bus to go up the mountain and talk to people about Dafa, a bus arrived, and I saw a skinny old farmer trying to move two large baskets of akebia (chocolate vine) fruit out of the bus. I helped him get them down and asked if he was going to the local market.

“Yes, but it’s not easy to sell this fruit. What we farmers grow isn’t worth much these days,” the old man said.

“Well, it is still quite a distance to the market. I will get you a tricycle taxi and cover the fare, so you can get to the market sooner and sell your produce more quickly,” I said.

“You’re very kind. Thank you. I sell them for 50 cents per jin (500 grams). I live at the bottom of the mountain, but the bus stop is on top, so I have to carry this fruit up the mountain before dawn to get to the bus stop,” he told me.

I then discussed Falun Dafa with him and helped him quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations. He used his real name. I also advised him to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The farmer was very honest and kindhearted. He thanked me again and again and invited me to a meal as a guest at his house.

Recently, on a lovely morning, my son took me for a ride on his bike. When we reached the foot of the mountain, I saw a middle-aged woman smiling at me. I waved to her, and we started chatting. She told me her name and said she'd only been able to attend primary school.

I shared facts about Falun Dafa with her and helped her quit the Young Pioneers that she had joined when she was young.

“You’re very lucky,” I said to her.

“Yes, indeed. My son sells mobile phones and repairs computers in the city, and both my grandsons are in middle school. I also cover my own living expenses by growing vegetables,” she said and smiled.

She insisted on giving me some freshly laid eggs and vegetables. I tried to pay her for them, but she refused to accept any money.

I wrote down her address, planning to bring some presents when I visited her family, and to talk about Falun Dafa with the whole family while I was there. She also invited me to visit her house.

Although I have been cultivating in Dafa for 30 years, I still sometimes struggle to maintain a calm mind when studying the Fa, and my thoughts are not always very clear or calm when I send forth righteous thoughts. I will put more effort into doing the three things well and take cultivation and assisting Master in saving people as the most important priorities in my life.
