1. Starting to practice Falun Dafa in adversity
Jiang's regime has been persecuting Falun Dafa for over three years. In a plant in Shandong Province, the "610 Office" arrested, beat, deceived, imprisoned and punished the Falun Gong practitioners. The vicious people have extorted hundreds of thousands of Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly salary of an urban worker in China] from the victims. Nevertheless, there has been a practitioner in this plant who has made unremitting efforts in clarifying the facts during the last three years, and people kept coming to learn Falun Dafa cultivation. Eight of them became practitioners, and some of the others are reading Zhuan Falun and ready to learn the exercises.
2. Obtaining the treasured books together
Qing and Shan were close companions during their term of military service. After being demobilized, Qing was assigned to a police department in Shandong Province, while Shan started to work for a plant as a blue collar worker.
One day, Qing got a chance to handle the Falun Dafa materials confiscated by the police from the practitioners' houses. He quickly took two copies of Zhuan Falun and the videotapes. He handled the book lovingly and admiringly and read it. The more he read, the more he felt the greatness of the book. Therefore, he called Shan over the phone, "I have got a set of treasured books for you. Please come over here as soon as possible." Being pleasantly surprised, Shan went there right way and took the books.
In Shan's workplace, everyone is talking about this story. The pals that used to serve together in the armed forces have the opportunity to obtain the treasured books at the same time.
3. The good fortune of an old man who safeguards the Fa
A seventy-seven year old man didn't have a good understanding of Falun Dafa. In May 2002, his younger brother and his brother's wife came back to visit him from another province. Looking at the old man suffering from all kinds of diseases and walking with a stick, the couple told him their personal experience that Falun Dafa teaches people to be good and is beneficial to people's health and to society. A few days later, when the old man saw someone tearing down the flyers of Falun Dafa, he stopped them and told them not to do this anymore.
One week later, when the two met the old man again, they were surprised to see their elder brother could move with brisk steps without using the walking stick. The old man told them, "I am completely healthy now, and I can climb a mountain." His family members felt deeply the miracles of Falun Dafa. It is true that good is rewarded with good. Those who safeguard Falun Dafa with a righteous mind will be rewarded with good fortune.
