(Clearwisdom.net) I have practiced Falun Dafa since March 1997, and I have always believed in Master and Dafa. Looking back at my cultivation path, because of my steadfast and unshakable faith in Dafa, I have walked through all these years until today. During all the ups and downs, I was protected by Master, and my understanding of Dafa changed from emotional to rational. Immersed in Dafa, I became very calm and improved my morality. I feel so blessed and so proud to be a Dafa disciple.
Hurry up to save more people!
I am a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period, I came to help Master in Fa-rectification and hold an enormous responsibility for this. In such a special period, in order to have more sentient beings know about the truth as soon as possible, I bought a manual printing machine. (I didn't know there were copy machines or printers at that time.) I prepared truth-clarification materials myself with the assistance of another practitioner, thus providing materials to other practitioners. After a while, a small material site was set up in our county. Since the supply of materials was always short of the demand, I started to make some for myself and a few other practitioners in my spare time. Later, when I was compelled to leave home for safety and was under severe financial persecution, using my saved up money to buy a laser printer/copy machine, I started to make materials, enabling the people in that area to be saved. After I had enlightened that leaving my hometown wasn't arranged by Master, I returned. To help practitioners with the materials, I bought a computer and a CD burner and decided to learn how to use a computer to print materials. Although I am over 50, and I knew nothing before I started, I was determined to learn. Through the patient instructions of other local practitioners, I learned how to print flyers and burn truth-clarification CDs. It not only helped me, but also helped other practitioners.
Master said that everyone was his family members at one time or another, so aren't they also our Dafa disciples' relatives? Thus, to save sentient beings, I have spread the truth in many places in my county and I have also posted truth-clarification materials everywhere on the streets.
To save the people who still don't know about the truth and the government officials who are still working for the evil communist regime to persecute Dafa disciples, I often wrote letters or mailed truth-clarification materials to them to awaken them so they can stop doing those evil deeds and make up for what they have done to redeem themselves. I also sent truth-clarification letters to the schoolteachers who have been deeply poisoned by the communist regime. Sometimes I even asked the students to give them the letters in person. If the teachers are aware of the truth, they will educate the students positively so they can be saved.
In recent years, during the process of truth-clarification, I have tried to explain the facts to everyone as clearly as possible, so that they can truly understand what's happening. I also ask them to tell their family members and friends to save more people. Most of them have understood the truth and quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, and also agreed that Dafa is good. I feel relieved when I see that so many people are saved. As I have been cultivating by clarifying the truth, my xinxing has greatly improved. I have always explained the facts in a dignified and noble way, and the thought of being persecuted because of truth-clarification has never crossed my mind. Under Master's benevolent protection, things have gone very well.
Deny the persecution! Don't allow sentient beings any chance to commit a crime against Dafa
On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin and his regime started the large-scale persecution of Falun Gong. So I went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. I stayed in Beijing for a long time, and after I returned, I was illegally detained for 15 days. When I returned to work, the school president told me that I had missed so many days of work that they had to withhold my salary. At that time, I didn't know this was a form of persecution, I thought Master was helping me get rid of the attachment to monetary gain, so I went along with them.
Later on, the authorities wanted to persecute me financially again, but I firmly denied it. I couldn't give sentient beings any opportunity to do any bad things to Dafa. Then the authorities pressured the school president, attempting to destroy my reputation. They arranged for people to watch me and restricted other coworkers from talking to me. Because the school where I worked was both an elementary school and a middle school, I could work in either one. No matter where they sent me, I did my best to be a good teacher. As a result, I was acknowledged by other teachers and even the students. I always had very high scores in final exams on the teacher evaluations. The school president asked me surprisingly, "How come you get high scores in both middle school and elementary school?" He was very disappointed. He wanted to destroy my reputation, but failed. Then he wanted to change my certificate from middle school to elementary school, which I also refused to allow.
In the end, I found my attachment by looking within. I denied their persecution in each instance, and they didn't do anything significant to me. However, I had the mentality of hatred and competitiveness. I wasn't compassionate enough to clarify the truth to them, so they didn't fundamentally change and continued to persecute me. Now I feel so ashamed and regretful that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities and mission well.
Recalling my 12 years of cultivation, there have been so many tribulations. Every time I realize that there are still so many people waiting to be saved, no matter what happens, I am determined to help Master in Fa-rectification and continue to cultivate very firmly. I am still far from reaching Master's requirements, and I still have so many attachments to get rid of. In the future, I will cultivate myself to remove my hatred, competitive mentality, selfishness, validation of self, and the pursuit of a comfortable life. I will never slack off again, and I will do the three things well, keep up with Master in Fa-rectification, and not disappoint Master, who has mercifully saved me.
