(Clearwisdom.net) I am 70 years old, a retired engineer. As a result of my practice of Falun Gong, I am in an excellent health. I am quick in movement and thinking. With a few extra rooms available, I am able to rent them out. Naturally they have become a good place for me to clarify the truth of Falun Gong and save sentient beings.
During the past few years, many of my tenants have come and gone, and they have left behind many touching stories. Below is just one of these stories. I would like to share it with you as it demonstrates the greatness of Falun Dafa.
A few days ago, a drunken man in his thirties came to me to rent a room. In response, I briefly explained to him the conditions for renting the room. "As a Falun Gong practitioner, I will accommodate you as much as I can. I will provide you with boiled water. You will not be charged for water and electricity. Falun Gong practitioners all have good moral character and strive to be good people," I said. He replied that he would move in that afternoon.
On the second day, however, he claimed that he lost 50 Yuan. A few moments later, he said there were too many mosquitoes in the room and that he wanted to move out. As a result, I immediately returned his deposit.
I quickly discovered that a very expensive tea set had disappeared together with three thick books of family trees. Realizing that his theft was exposed, he asked me to give the tea set to him as a gift. I refused and took it back instead. In addition, he returned one of the family tree books, while holding onto the rest.
I then cooked a bowl of Wonton and fried a pie for him. I also served him a cup of tea. He was so touched by my compassion that he started to cry.
Sobbing, he told me that nobody had ever treated him so well and that nobody had ever cared for him. He started to tell me the truth. "I lost my job. To make ends meet, I steal and rob every day," he said.
He began to take out the things in his bag, including a piece of very expensive medical apparatus. He wanted to give it to me in return for my kindness. "I have never taken and will never take a penny from anyone," I said. Suddenly he knelt down in front of me. "Madam, I will never forget you. Please forgive me for causing you so much trouble," he said.
I persuaded him to give up alcohol. "You're so young. Why don't you try to find a real job and become an honest person. As a young man, you should respect your own dignity," I told him. "By taking other people's things, you will lose virtue. Whether you do good deeds or commit crimes, Gods will always be watching you. Let me tell you a universal law: doing good is rewarded and doing evil is punished. Remember that Falun Dafa is good and Truth-Compassion-Tolerance is good. Just tell other people that Falun Gong practitioners are good people. Don't believe in the slanderous propaganda about Falun Gong."
Weeping in grief, he replied, "I'll keep in mind your advice." Then he left by bike. Soon he came back, took the other two books of family trees out of his bag, and returned them to me.
