(Clearwisdom.net) I have been providing other practitioners technical support to produce Dafa materials using computers and the Internet. Something happened not long ago that has special meaning for me.
On January 27, 2011, a coordinating practitioner and I went to another practitioner's place to help with some challenging technical problems. We left in his car along with a driver early in the morning because the practitioner with the problems lived in a city five hours away. We had no trouble getting there and arrived earlier than planned, around 11 a.m. The practitioner who was waiting for us told us to get ready for lunch before we could say anything. She served us dumplings that were cooked just right. The three of us wondered how she could have known the exact time of our arrival to cook the dumplings, a dish that has to be served within 10 minutes after they are cooked.
The practitioner was a farmer in her late 50s. She had been printing Dafa materials with a computer and a printer. Usually she asked her son who was working in a nearby city to help her with technical problems. After having installed a safer-than-usual operating system on her computer, I taught her how to use it.
She said to me, “It is so hard to do this work for Dafa. No one in our area knows how to set up a computer, so we always have to find practitioners from the city and they can only install ordinary systems. Sometimes it takes a long time to fix a problem, because everyone is busy. I read a sharing article on the Minghui (Chinese version of Clearwisdom) website in which the author talked about upgrading an ordinary system to make a computer more suitable for Dafa work. It sounded great! But how can I find him and ask him to come here to help us? [Note: No personal information is provided in Minghui articles for safety reasons.]
I responded, “You don't have to find that particular practitioner to get your problems solved.” I could not say anymore, but I was the practitioner who wrote that article. I was the practitioner who she had hoped would come help her, and Master had granted her wish and sent me to her! I could hardly hold back the tears in my eyes. In consideration of safety, I did not tell her who I was. Whenever I think of this incident, I cannot help crying. I did not know this practitioner, and we had had no contact at all beforehand, as we live far apart. A local contact person arranged for me to go there in a borrowed car. It took us at least ten hours of driving on the highway round trip.
I would like to thank the practitioner who told me her story. If you read this article, you will remember us and you will know that I was the one you had been looking for. Master has been and is with us all the time. He knows what we need, so he brought me to the practitioner to help her from miles away. I hope that all practitioners do the three things well and are able to return home with Master!
I had heard fellow practitioners say before that Master “is with us all the time,” but I had never had direct experience of that until this incident. Master is with us all the time and knows our activities and wishes. The practitioner whom I helped with technical problems had been doing well in cultivation and the three things. However, unable to solve practical difficulties herself, she hoped that the practitioner who wrote the article she had read would come help her. But how could she ever have found me if not for the miracle of Dafa as we were so far apart and did not know each other? It was Master who arranged for me to meet her and help solve her technical problems.
I wrote the following poem to express my thoughts:
The Buddha's grace fulfills Heaven and Earth
He is saving sentient beings in all places
Thoughtfully helping disciples in their work
He only wishes the world's people awaken to the Truth
