(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa at the end of 1998. I only went through a short period of personal cultivation before the evil persecution started in 1999. My understanding of the Fa was very shallow at that time, but Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance had taken root deep within me. During my cultivation, I deeply feel that when we truly cultivate Dafa, Master is always next to us.

The following really happened to me:

My brother-in-law had been living with his mother after he got married because he couldn’t find a place for himself. At that time, my mother-in-law was already 75 years old and lived with my brother-in-law’s family for a long time. As time went on, she had some conflicts with my sister-in-law. Later on, they did not even talk to each other. Seeing that my mother-in-law had no one to take care of her when she was sick, my husband asked me if she could live with us for a while. This happened in the summer of 1999. Although our place was small, I thought that, being a cultivator, it was important for me to have filial piety, so we brought my mother-in-law into our home. She has been living with us for 12 years now. She is 87 years old and we have been living together in harmony.

One Sunday in 2003, my sister-in-law came to visit us. As we were chatting, I slowly began to talk to her about my changes since I started to cultivate, how great Master is, how special cultivation is, etc. She listened quietly and attentively, and I could see that she trusted me fully. At that moment, I felt that she was also purified. That’s the power of Dafa. After she listened to me and saw how I treated my mother-in-law, she said, “Sister, you cultivate so well. Do you have a book? I want to learn Dafa!”

I was very happy to hear that, but it also presented a big test for me. Ever since the persecution began, Dafa books are very rare and precious and I only had one copy of Zhuan Falun. Because I constantly read it, it had started to fall apart, so I had re-bound it using a machine at work. At the beginning of the persecution, I made a pledge to Master, “Master, although I only have one copy of Zhuan Falun, I am determined to cultivate to the end!” Because my sister-in-law wanted to take my book, it was hard for me to give it to her! I couldn’t make up my mind, so I told her, “I only have this one book, but I have a set of lecture videos and a set of audios. How about you watch the videos or listen to the audios first?” But my sister-in-law said in an undeniable tone, “Sister, I don’t want videos, I don’t want audios. I just want this book!” Upon hearing this, my brain started to work quickly, and I asked myself whether I was being selfish. Isn’t it a good thing that my sister-in-law wanted to learn Dafa? Why couldn’t I give the book to her selflessly? Isn’t the goal of our cultivation to become a selfless person? How come I couldn’t let go of my selfishness at this critical moment? Then I said to her calmly, “Okay! I'll give you this book. You must cherish it and cultivate well!”

That evening after my sister-in-law left, I couldn't help crying when I thought about not having my book. I said to Master in my heart, “Master, this is the first day that I don’t have Zhuan Falun to read. I will read another Dafa book.” I opened the bookcase next to my bed and picked up a book. It was a thick book and I thought it might be Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa. I opened the first page and noticed with surprise that it was a brand new copy of Zhuan Falun. Moreover, it had a white book cover, just like the other Dafa books I had. What a miracle! During the past five years, I have read Dafa books over and over, but I had never seen this book before. I knew I didn’t have a second copy of Zhuan Falun.

I felt that all particles on every level inside my body were under shock. I suspected that my eyes were playing a trick on me. I turned the book front to back several times until I was sure it was real. Tears ran down my face uncontrollably. Master had seen that I wanted to study the Fa and gave me a new book. Master is next to me and helps me at every moment. I cannot put my gratitude in words.

I told my story to many fellow practitioners. This miracle has inspired us to study the Fa better, cultivate well, clarify the truth, save people, be more diligent, and do our best to accomplish our scared mission of helping Master with Fa-rectification.

I have been walking my path of cultivation for 12 years now. During this time, I have been immersed in the boundless compassion and mercy of Master. I know that Master has given so much to his disciples. I also know that I still have many shortcomings and attachments. Yet, I firmly believe that if I believe in Master and the Fa, continue to study the Fa well and search inward and get rid of my attachments, I will be able to do the three things rationally and steadily. I will be able to fulfill my vows, reach consummation, and return with Master.
