(Clearwisdom.net) Before I began to practice Falun Gong 14 years ago, my life was dependent on medicine. On July 8, 1997, I saw that a neighbor had the book Zhuan Falun, and I asked her to lend it to me. For the rest of the day I could not stop reading the book.
That night, Teacher cleansed my body. It was such a marvelous feeling. A warm current gently flowed downwards from my upper body, along my legs to my feet. It felt so comfortable. When I woke up, it was 4:50 a.m., so I quickly put on some clothes and went to the practice site at a school nearby. After a week of listening to Teacher's lectures, joining daily group Fa study, and practicing the exercises, all of my illness vanished. Only then did I experience the feeling of having a light body without sickness. I was so excited that I burst into tears, determined to be a practitioner.
After starting to practice Falun Gong, my body became light and I had more energy. I became happy, my home environment changed, and my relationship with my mother-in-law became harmonious. Indeed, when one person practices, the entire family benefits, and everything becomes smooth.
After July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party began to publicly persecute Falun Gong, and used every state-run media outlet to ceaselessly slander the practice. I have directly benefited from practicing, so I believe in Teacher and Falun Gong. Fellow practitioners made posters and truth-clarification materials, and we went out to put them up and distribute them. I was so scared in the beginning that I could not get good sleep. But the more I participated, the more courage I had, and I could steadily clarify the truth. Although I haven't had the magnificent accomplishments like some others have, I have been doing my best without interruption.
Before I go out each time to distribute truth-clarification materials, I first send righteous thoughts. One time I met a lady on the street. She was over 50 years old, carrying a crate of milk and eggs with great difficulty, so I walked up to her and helped, while at the same time clarifying the truth to her. I told her to remember “Falun Dafa is good” and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." I also told her to tell her son (a policeman) to treat Falun Dafa and practitioners kindly, and to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party for his safety as soon as possible.
Recently my condition has not been very good, and I had a cough for half a month. So I looked inwards and reconsidered my words and actions. I feel sleepy when I study the Fa, which has been an ordeal for me for a long time. As soon as I feel sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, and I get lazy. I also have not given up the emotional attachment to my grandson, as I have wanted to take care of everything for him. In addition, I am afraid of suffering, am distracted in sending righteous thoughts, and so on.
Now is the final period of Fa-rectification. We need to study the Fa, regard ourselves as a container to fill up with more Dafa, and melt into Dafa. While doing the three things well as requested by Teacher, I shall improve myself, rectify my words and actions, and save more people.
Due to my limited level, if there are any mistakes, please point them out.
