(Minghui.org) I began assisting Master to save people about 20 years ago. At that time, there was a severe shortage of truth-clarification materials. I managed to obtain a few copies of articles from Minghui for my own reading. I went to a nearby photoshop to make copies.

The owner said, “This is illegal. I’m going to call the police right now to report you.”I did not yet know how to clarify the truth effectively at that time. I simply stood there foolishly and did not leave. I asked him, “How much is it? Let me pay you for the copies first.”

The owner paused for a moment, his menacing demeanor vanishing as he said, “Is there really a person like you?!” He might have been wondering, how could someone engaged in illegal activity actually be this kind?

He then said, “Just go. Don’t ever come back here again.”

Later, through studying the Fa, I understood that because of that moment of kindness, Master had a reason to save me. It was the power of compassion that allowed me to turn danger into safety.

I ran my own business for years and had formed many bad habits due to my attachments to fame, money, and sentimentality. My mind would wander while studying the Fa or while doing the exercises. I would doze off while sending forth righteous thoughts. I felt that my cultivation was lagging behind the Fa-rectification pace. When facing conflicts, I failed to immediately realize that I am a cultivator and that I should look inward. I realized that I should do something to rectify the situation. Then the idea of memorizing the Fa occurred to me.

When I first began memorizing the Fa, I would constantly doze off. So I decided to memorize while kneeling. Although my knees ached intensely, I did not relax until I had finished memorizing an entire paragraph. The pain in my legs would eventually give way to numbness. Because I was so focused on memorizing the Fa, I was able to largely forget the discomfort. While kneeling to memorize, I frequently gained insights into the principles of the Fa, and a warm current would flow through my entire body. Gradually, I became more youthful and graceful, and my skin grew soft and delicate. Now, when encountering conflicts, I am able to look inward. My body and mind have undergone a profound transformation.

When I was being persecuted, my husband became very condescending. While in the detention center, I made great efforts to have someone call him multiple times to hire a lawyer for me, only for him to act as if he knew nothing about it. He even claimed that a pro bono lawyer that I had secured myself was hired by him. I developed resentment toward my husband. Every impulse to contend, every trace of self-centeredness, driven by the pursuit of fame, profit, and sentimentality, left me gasping for breath.

Master’s teaching suddenly dawned on me, “And human notions change, The degenerate things purged, Brightness now shines forth.” (“Born Anew,” Hong Yin)

I am a practitioner. How could my heart be so filled with resentment? The persecution I am enduring is a result of the evil forces exploiting the loopholes created by my own attachments. It signifies that my cultivation has not yet reached the required standard. My husband was in fact helping me to eliminate karma, uncover my numerous attachments, and assist me in passing my cultivation tests. I ought to be grateful to him.

As a result of my looking inward, my husband’s attitude changed completely. Since then, whenever I faced a test in my cultivation, I have learned to look inward. I am increasingly coming to a deeper realization of the true meaning of cultivation.

When I first began sending forth righteous thoughts, because I had not studied the Fa well, it was not effective. After I began memorizing the Fa, my righteous thoughts became significantly stronger. I could also sense the boundless power of Dafa. On one occasion, I was so deeply moved that tears welled up in my eyes. I felt that Master was helping me anchor my roots firmly within the cosmos. I do not have my celestial eye opened, so this was a sensation rather than a visual perception. Since that time, I have repeatedly experienced the immense power of righteous thoughts in disintegrating evil.

I will strive to keep pace with Master’s Fa-rectification, diligently fulfill my mission, and return home to my true origin with Master.
