(Clearwisdom.net) I am a new practitioner and just started to practice Falun Gong one and a half years ago. It's really fortunate that I have obtained the law of the universe. My entire life has changed completely. I have turned into a healthy person from being a patient who used to take medicine every day. I understand the meaning of life. Now I want to share my cultivation experience with all my fellow practitioners. Please kindly point it out if there is anything improper.

Clarifying the truth face to face
I regret that I had a chance to obtain the Fa more than 10 years ago, but I missed it. Maybe it was because my predestined time had not come yet. After I started practicing Falun Gong this time, I read all of Master's lectures several times and discussed with fellow practitioners about how to do the three things well. Now I understand the historic mission of Dafa disciples, of clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa.
In the beginning, I was afraid to explain the facts about Falun Gong to strangers for three reasons: I was deeply attached to fear, I was worried about my words not being effective, and I was attached to my reputation and self preservation. I could not break through the bottleneck for a long time. I missed numerous chances when Master guided people with predestined relationships right to me. After studying the Fa and sending righteous thoughts, I was able to eliminate a lot of thought karma. With the help of merciful Master, I overcame the difficulty of clarifying the truth.
I am a small business owner, and my customers are mostly farmers. Normally, I would ask for Master's support to eliminate the dark minions and rotten demons that prevented people from being saved. Then I would ask for the support of the Fa-guarding gods and start to clarify the truth. Generally, people would accept what I had to say and decide to resign from the CCP and its affiliated associations. Once I was clarifying the facts with a peaceful mind to a lady. She decided to resign from the Communist Youth League and said, "Thank you!" I replied, "If you want to thank anyone, please thank my Teacher. He asks us to do these things." I gave her a truth-clarifying card, which she was pleased to accept. I was really glad that one more sentient being had been saved. Many more are still waiting...
When we clarify the truth, we should speak wisely and not offend people's attachments. Sometimes, I would meet people who did not accept what I had to say. However, I would still maintain my righteous thoughts, try to change them with compassion, and enable them to feel the goodness of Dafa.
With the support of Master and help from fellow practitioners, nothing serious has happened to me in the past year, but I have experienced both positive and unpleasant things. However, whenever something happened, I always searched inward, following Master's request to do the three things well. In this way, I could keep up with the progress of the Fa-rectification and fulfill my prehistoric vow.

Sending forth righteous thoughts.
Right after I started practicing Falun Gong, I did not know how to send forth righteous thoughts and really worried about it. Master saw my wish and later a fellow practitioner came to deliver articles to me, including "Stop the Evil Acts with Righteous Thoughts" and "Eliminate the Dark Minions with Righteous Thoughts." After reading the articles, I understood the importance and the meaning of sending forth righteous thoughts. I remembered that we are all cultivators and that we are also the coordinators. We are responsible for Dafa, ourselves, and society. We should be serious about sending forth righteous thoughts. If we cannot do it at the set times, we have to make it up straight away. We have to maintain our righteous thoughts and righteous actions at every moment, and completely eliminate the evil forces. We have to follow Master and be qualified Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period.

Passing the test
On the path of cultivation, if we are afraid of something, it will happen. At the end of April, my practitioner sister was arrested. My first reaction was, "I can't let my husband, who is not a practitoner, know." However, my mother, also a practitioner, could not let go of her attachment to emotion. She tried to call my sister, but no one answered. Then she asked my brother, a non practitioner, to call. Strangely, the phone was picked up right away. Right after this, my husband and other ordinary people in the family threatened me. They would not allow me to make truth-clarification materials or make contact with other practitioners. The only thing I could do was to stay at home. My husband tried to find something for which he could to blame me. I handled this situation calmly and kept studying the Fa, practicing the exercises, and searching inward. I found that, actually, this situation was what I was asking for. I was afraid of letting my husband know, because of my attachments to fear, self preservation, and emotion. When I found them, I immediately got rid of them. Also, I asked for help from Master and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions and rotten demons that controlled my family members. In that period of time, I firmly believed that I was a Dafa disciple. What I was doing was to save sentient beings, which is the most righteous thing in the universe. I firmly believed in Dafa and Master. I understood that this was the time for me to upgrade and improve my xinxing. With these thoughts in mind, and under Master's protection, my family members eventually acknowledged the goodness of Dafa. Now, they all support me as I do Dafa work.

Validating the Fa
I use many methods to validate the Fa, such as writing truth-clarification messages on paper currency, making informational materials and telephone calls, and sending text messages. When I make calls or send messages, sometimes I receive blame, sometimes praise. Regardless of the response, I am firm about saving sentient beings. Whenever I encounter a tribulation, I always look inward, upgrade my xinxing, expand my capacity, and maintain my righteous thoughts and actions.
In April, I realized that I had to get out of the house to validate the Fa and save sentient beings. I printed out truth-clarifying booklets and pamphlets and got ready. Right before I left, I lit incense for Master. I saw that Master was smiling at me mercifully, and I understood that Master was encouraging me.
It was a sunny day. Colorful Faluns were turning in the air. Fa-guardian gods were watching and protecting me. I took a bus to another town more than 20 kilometers away. On the bus, I kept sending forth righteous thoughts and sending text messages. When the bus arrived at my destination, it stopped beside a police station. I enlightened that Master wanted me to send forth righteous thoughts there. Therefore, I started to eliminate all the dark minions and rotten demons that interfered with Dafa disciples and to save sentient beings around the police station and the area. After the bus stopped at the center of the town, I got off and started my work. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts while doing the work. I understood that "cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." (Zhuan Falun)
Master is mercifully watching us all the time. Every improvement in our cultivation and all the things that we obtain are from Master. Master has given all he has for all sentient beings. I cannot find the words to thank Master for his great mercy and to describe the magnificence of cultivation. All I can do is to do the three things well and to thank Master in my heart.
As Master's disciple, we have to listen to Master's words to do well at the three things, to study the Fa more so that we can maintain righteous thoughts and actions, and to send forth righteous thoughts more so that the evil forces in other dimensions will be eliminated directly. In the last stage of the Fa-rectification period, we should be steadfast and save more sentient beings.
