(Clearwisdom.net) As soon as I saw the call for papers for the third Internet experience sharing conference for Falun Dafa practitioners in China on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, I wanted to write down and share my experiences and validate Dafa in the process. Because I have cultivated for so many years and have so many understandings to share, I didn't know where to start. I wrote alot and found it too wordy, so I gave up. Issue No. 245 of Minghui Weekly indicated that publishing on-line articles should be based on validating Dafa, so I decided to try to write again.
I started practicing Falun Gong in the fall of 1997. Before then, I had several illnesses: protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral discs, neurasthenia, severe anemia, arrhythmia, gynecological disease, and chest tightness. These ailments had been with me for eight years, and they would not go away even though I had spent a lot of money on treating them. Luckily, I completely recovered within six months after I started practicing Falun Dafa. I was free of illness, and my body became very light. My mood became more positive, my family became harmonious, and things became smooth for me. My life was full of hope. I cannot find words to thank Teacher for his merciful salvation. At the same time I came to understand that cultivation is serious and that doing Fa-study and the exercises every day is essential. Even though the evil persecution was launched on July 20, 1999, I was not affected by it because Teacher had given practitioners hints about what was to happen in the articles "Huge Exposure," "Expounding on the Fa" and "Digging Out the Roots" in Essentials for Further Advancement.
I lost contact with other practitioners in 1999 and was in a state of personal cultivation until I ran into a fellow practitioner who gave me a copy of an article from the Minghui website in 2001. It was then that I realized I should clarify the truth. I did not have any truth-clarification materials, so I spoke about the truth when I ran into people. In the beginning, I was so afraid that as soon as I started, I could feel pressure come upon me. I sometimes felt so cold that I couldn't help shaking. After Teacher published the articles "What are Supernormal Abilities" (in Essentials for Further Advancement II) and "Righteous Thoughts," I started sending forth righteous thoughts. I sent forth righteous thoughts while clarifying the truth, and the situation became much better. Gradually, my dimension became clear, the fear I felt lessened, and I was not affected as much.
In 2003, since I still had no access to any truth-clarification materials, I couldn't wait any longer to learn to use a computer to make the materials myself. I did not have a sample of such materials, so I wrote my own or copied a piece of overseas news from the Minghui website. As a new computer user, I spent a lot of time and money learning how to use it. As I had developed an attachment to doing things, I reduced my time for Fa-study, practicing the exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts. The evil took advantage of my gaps, and somebody reported me to the police. As a result, I was illegally arrested and taken to the local police station. The police ransacked my home and took away my computer, printer and all my Dafa books. They detained me for a day and a night. Under Teacher's merciful protection, I broke out of the detention center with righteous thoughts and merged into the current of Fa-rectification again.
During those four months, I went from learning how to use a computer to printing truth-clarification materials and getting out of the police station. I truly felt that our esteemed Teacher had been with me at every moment, giving me hints, encouraging me and even suffering for me.
When my computer first arrived at my home, I did not know how to typeset or print. I didn't know what to do with the computer, so I hired the person from whom I bought the computer to teach me. I learned how to print, and I made some not-so-perfect copies of truth-clarification materials. Gradually, I improved, but then I developed an attachment of zealotry. One night my husband came home drunk and scolded me for no reason. I then criticized him. He slapped me in the face and started cursing me. I thought that he was being unreasonable, so I went to the bedroom to send forth righteous thoughts. He cursed me for a while. Seeing no response from me, he dashed into the bedroom and tried to damage the computer. I stood between him and the computer and said, "If I have done something wrong, tell me. Why are you trying to damage the computer?" He became so mad that he slapped my face and repeatedly hit me in the back. I was very firm and confident. I said, "It won't do, even if you kill me. This is my choice. I can move out if you're afraid." He was angry about his not being able to do anything about it, so he went back to the other room cursing. In the end, he sighed and said, "I have to shut up before I accumulate too much karma." And he went out again to drink. I said to him, "It's midnight already. Stay home." He said, "Leave me alone," and he left.
It was almost 1:00 a.m. I sat on the bed sending forth righteous thoughts to cleanse his dimensional field. I realized afterwards, "He hit me so hard. How come I don't feel any pain?" I thought that my face must be swollen, but I saw there was no mark, swelling or pain when I looked at myself in the mirror. I was quite amazed, but I didn't realize that Teacher was suffering for me until later.
My husband did not come back that night or the next day. He didn't answer the cell phone when I called him. I was worried about him, and I looked for him with my sister and her husband, but we didn't find him. When I was cooking dinner, he came back and lay down in the bed. I told him that dinner was ready, but he said no. I sat next to him and asked him where he had been last night and why he didn't answer the phone. He cried and said, "Let's eat." He said that his entire body was in pain and all his joints hurt, as he had slept on the lawn in a park last night and the whole day. I sighed, "You must know how full of illness I was before; to live was worse than to die. I was so lucky to have started practicing Dafa. Teacher has saved me and given me a good body. You have a good body but you do not treasure it. You will regret it after you lose it. Let's eat. You'll be fine after a nap after dinner." I had dinner and then sat next to him on the bed reading the Fa for him. He fell asleep. At around 11:00 p.m., I found him breathing heavily. I touched his forehead and found that he had a high fever, and his face was so red. I immediately put a cold towel on his forehead.
I then sat down and sent forth righteous thoughts until after 2:00 a.m. His condition became much better, and I went to sleep. The next day I continued to read the Fa to him and sent forth righteous thoughts. The following morning, he had completely recovered. I asked, "Are you feeling better now?" He said,"Yes, I do. Can I say something that you would like to hear? I benefited from you."
Ten days later, when I was clarifying the truth, somebody reported me and had me arrested. As soon as I arrived at the police station, I was nervous and felt cold all over. A policeman came in and asked me what was wrong. I told him that I had heart problems, and he said, "Really? I thought you practiced Falun Gong?" I was suddenly jolted awake, and I understood that Teacher was giving me a hint. So I closed my eyes and started sending forth righteous thoughts. For one day and night, my entire mind was empty, as if nothing else existed. I knew that Teacher was strengthening me, so my mind was as calm as still water. Some police officers would leave my room as soon as they came in; they had a hard time staying there. For one day and night, I was watched by only a couple of police officers; they were very quiet and talked softly. They asked me a few questions. As soon as I answered them, I shut my eyes and continued cleansing the field.
I said to Teacher in my heart, "Even if your disciple dies today, she will not bring shame to Dafa or everything that she has earned. Since I am here today, I will send forth righteous thoughts in close proximity to completely disintegrate this evil den and throughly cleanse the 610 Office, the judicial and public security organs and the detention centers in order to not allow them to persecute Dafa practitioners anymore." At noon the next day, I said in my heart, "Teacher, I must go home tonight. This is not where Dafa disciples should stay. There are many sentient beings outside waiting for me to save them." At night, they took me to the office. An older police officer told me, "I know you are good people. You do these things to safeguard your Fa and validate your Fa, but you cannot do your things right in front of our eyes. We have to make a living and support our families. If you want, you can practice at home or anywhere else you like, and nobody cares. Just do not do it right in front of us." A younger police officer said, "In fact I respect you a lot. While all the others have to sit on the cement floor, I'll let you sit on the sofa. Just sign this paper." I said, "No." They didn't force me and let me leave.
The process of Fa-rectification is so fast; in no time it has started to cleanse the evil Communist specter. When the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was first published, many practitioners understood that they had to cleanse the field in thier homes. That is, we burned and threw away the evil party's books, signs, pictures and portraits. At the same time, Teacher has purified our bodies, and we have also felt it in our homes. As soon as I saw Teacher's statement, "Turning the Wheel Again," about his withdrawing from the Youth League (released to The Epoch Times), I immediately published my own statement to withdraw from the Youth League and Young Pioneers. My daughter and my sister did so too, and my home was cleansed. My sister started cleansing her home too by burning and throwing away things associated with the Chinese Communist Party. All of a sudden, she felt a lot better both physically and mentally.
About two months later, I woke up one morning with my right wrist feeling extremely itchy. There was a cluster of lumps and small blisters on the skin. I could hardly endure the itchiness, but I didn't dare to scratch it. I gently rubbed it with the other hand. The lumps and itchiness didn't go away until two days later, leaving a mark. At lunch time, I took a look at it and was startled. I showed it to my daughter and had her tell me what it looked like. My daughter said, "Hey, isn't this the hammer and the sickle (the communist party's symbol)?" I nodded, "This is the mark of the beast that was imprinted on me when I took an oath in front of the blood flag while joining its Youth League and Young Pioneers. Now, Teacher has helped me to cleanse myself of it." The mark didn't disappear until over a month later. Many fellow practitioners have seen it.
Through my course of cultivation, I have experienced so many supernatural things and overcome many shortcomings. I have many experiences to share. Because of the limited size of the article, I cannot write them all down. Besides, some things cannot be described. My husband often says, "The life that I'm experiencing with you is almost like a fairy tale." I said, "You could treat them as fairy tales, but they are all real. As long as you genuinely practice cultivation, you will find it is real, not an illusion."
This concludes my experience sharing. I am often moved to tears when I think about what Teacher has gone through for us. I often think, "To the world's people, Dafa has already been spread for 14 years. The Dafa practitioners' experiences and the truth of the persecution should have driven away the delusion hindering you. Faced with our esteemed Teacher's merciful salvation, if you cannot treasure the rare opportunity and treasure your own life, it is cause for eternal regret!"
