(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Gong in 2008. As a new practitioner, I would like to share my cultivation experiences in the past two years with all my fellow practitioners.
1. Happy to Obtain the Fa and Walk on the Cultivation Path
I used to have a rough life. In order to make a living, I worked numerous jobs in various cities and ended up developing all kinds of illnesses.
A friend of mine learned from one of his relatives that Falun Gong was good for healing illness. He introduced me to his relative, Mr. A, who clarified the truth about Falun Gong for me and gave me some reading materials and a DVD about the practice. Before this, everything I knew about Falun Gong was from TV or radio programs. After watching the DVD and reading the materials, I understood that all the TV programs I had seen were only based on the propaganda created by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I now knew that Falun Gong was a high-level cultivation method from the Buddha school. Therefore, I decided to practice it.
My friend told Mr. A about my decision. Immediately, Mr. A brought me a copy of Zhuan Falun. After reading it, I understood many principles of life. Master said:
“A person should return to his original, true self—that’s actually the true purpose of being human.” (Zhuan Falun)
2. Believing in Master and the Fa and Experiencing the Wonder of Dafa
Before practicing Falun Gong, I had all kinds of medical conditions, such as syncope, high blood pressure, and memory loss. I also had a stroke which paralyzed the right side of my body.
Master said:
“I do not talk about healing illness here, and neither will we heal illness. As a genuine practitioner, however, you cannot practice cultivation with an ill body. I will purify your body. The body purification will be done only for those who come to truly learn the practice and the Fa. We emphasize one point: If you cannot relinquish the attachment or concern for illness, we cannot do anything and will be unable to help you.” (Zhuan Falun)
I firmly remembered Master words and let go of the attachment to having my illnesses cured. Every day, I kept practicing the exercises, studying the Fa, and sending forth righteous thoughts. Now, my syncope and paralysis are both healed, and my memory is back to normal. I understand that Master purified my body and I have experienced the wonder of Dafa.
3. “Small Flower” Materials Site Begins to Blossom
Master asked us to do the three things well, and we have to do them well. My youngest daughter started to practice Falun Gong in 2009 and is also a diligent practitioner. We went out to spread truth-clarification materials every day. In order to reduce the burden on our fellow practitioners, she suggested that I buy a computer so that we could read articles from the Minghui website daily. She later added, “We should be able to save some money. Why can't we build a materials site also?” I totally agreed with her. So I bought a computer and a printer, and installed broadband Internet. Initially, I did not know how to operate the computer. I bought some books and followed the steps in the books. In addition, we did not have any software to break the Internet blockade. Therefore, I just surfed the Internet directly with a normal web browser (I did not know that it was not safe to do it this way). Once, I could even open the Zhengjian website (Chinese version of Pureinsight.org). However, after a few minutes, my computer shut down. After that, the operating system was completely out of order. I realized that this was interference. After discussing this issue with a fellow practitioner, we understood that Master was protecting us, otherwise the outcome could have been much worse. This practitioner also asked us to stop using an unsafe web browser and pay attention to safety in the future. We re-installed the operating system and the computer was back to normal.
After a while, Master arranged for us to meet another practitioner, who gave us the “Dynamic Web” software to break through the Internet blockade. This practitioner also recommended that we send forth righteous thoughts before using the Internet. I remembered that when I used the “Dynamic Web” the first time, I could not open the Minghui website after waiting for a long time. However, after continuous Fa study and sending forth righteous thoughts, we could open the website more easily.
When I first opened the Minghui website, I was very excited. I felt that I had finally come back home after wandering for a long time. At the same time, I was also thankful for Master's support. I could now read all of Master's lectures, the Falun Gong books and truth-clarification materials. I downloaded some truth-clarification materials. Also, Master arranged a fellow practitioner to teach us how to produce truth-clarification materials and install a security system on our computer. As a result, our “small flower” materials site began to blossom.
4. Cooperating with Other Practitioners to Save Sentient Beings
In order to catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification and help sentient beings understand the truth about Falun Gong as soon as possible, we produce truth-clarification materials and spread them to farming villages every day. The interference from the evil forces has been very serious. For example, almost all the families in these villages raise dogs. If a dog starts to bark, all the other dogs in the village bark. At these moments, we normally send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate these arrangements. On one occasion, a dog kept barking and following us. My daughter panicked and said, “Stop!” The dog immediately stopped. My daughter kept turning back to look at the dog, saying happily, “It really stopped!” As a result, the dog started to bark and follow us again. I later thought to myself, “Any of our attachments can lead to a bad outcome. We should be careful and do everything with righteous thoughts.”
We learned a lesson from this experience and have changed the way we work. One of us keeps sending forth righteous thoughts while the other delivers truth-clarification materials. With Master's protection, we always deliver the materials successfully to the sentient beings in our local areas and help them to understand the truth so that they can be saved.
Heshi.
