I Am a Little Dafa Disciple

Greetings, Master!
Greetings, Fellow Practitioners!

I am nearly eight years old. When I was three, I started to learn Chinese characters in the book Zhuan Falun. In the beginning I learned six characters a day. I continued doing so. One year later I could read Zhuan Falun by myself. After that I started to study the Fa and do the exercises with my dad and mum.

Last year in July I left China with my parents and came to this free land, Australia. Encouraged by fellow practitioners, I feel that my xinxing is elevating. Whenever I have conflicts with others, I realize that I am a little Dafa disciple. I have been through many tests and I have become mature. Every time my xinxing has improved a bit, I feel the power of Dafa.

1. Whenever There Is a Test, I Remember that I am a Little Dafa Disciple.

One day I was playing a game when I fell down on the ground and hurt my chin. I thought to myself, "I am a little Dafa disciple and I should be OK." As a result, I was fine, and I only bled a little bit. Later on my classmate took me to a room where I was examined. My teacher gave me a piece of ice wrapped in paper and put it on my chin. In my mind I always thought that it didn't matter. As a result, I was all right.

One day our schoolteacher took us to watch a movie. It was a violent film. Those bad things ran into my head and I felt I was not my own self. After the film, I had conflicts with my friends. I realized that I shouldn't watch those things. Since then I no longer watch that kind of movie.

2. Clarifying the Truth

I am currently studying at a language school. There are five Chinese students in my class. They haven't been in Australia for very long and have misunderstandings about Dafa, so I try hard to tell them the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution and try to persuade them to withdraw from the CCP. One day I clarified the truth to a classmate and said to her, "Please withdraw from the Young Pioneers. I explained it to her day after day, and she finally understood what the Communist Party was. I finally helped her to withdraw from the Young Pioneers using the alias Xuelian, Snow Lotus. I also helped another classmate to withdraw from the Young Pioneers with the alias of Chunmei. Now when I am sending forth righteous thoughts, I am trying to clear the evil CCP elements that poison another classmate so that he can quit the CCP as soon as possible.

I want to give an example of the power of Dafa that I have experienced. At 1:30 p.m. every Thursday my mum picks me up from school and we go to the city to distribute newspapers. One Thursday as I left school, my heel suddenly started to really hurt, as if it were being pierced by needles, and I could hardly move. But we had to catch the train at 2:10 p.m. If the pain continued we would miss the train and the newspapers would not get distributed. So in my heart I thought, "I am a Dafa disciple and I won't accept your interference." Miraculously, the pain in my heel disappeared. My mum and I laughed heartily. Then we were able go to the city to give out newspapers on time. I know that Master is right beside me, protecting me.

3. Memorizing the Fa


Starting from the last school holiday, I began to memorize the Fa with another little practitioner. Every day we memorize one paragraph. But we often have xinxing conflicts. Sometimes I cry when I cannot memorize the whole paragraph. But after I finish crying, I become clear headed and continue reciting. Very quickly I will remember it. The lesson I have learned from memorizing the Fa is that I should not be in a hurry or get nervous, just take it easy and memorize. After reciting the Fa, I feel that I am not as impatient as before and have learned to look inward. I have fewer conflicts with my classmates in school. When conflicts happen, I will not feel as upset as before. I am now memorizing the section "The Issue of Celestial Eye."

I still have a lot of attachments, such as showing off, competitiveness, jealousy, complacency, and the heart of seeking comfort. I don't like to practice the exercises and seldom send forth righteous thoughts. But I believe I will be more diligent and become a diligent little disciple.
