(Clearwisdom.net) When I went to visit my grandmother in the summer of 2008, she told me about the wonders of Falun Dafa and taught me to abide by Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and to be a good person. From that point on, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance has filled my mind. My grandmother said that my Buddha nature had come forth.
When it was New Year's in 2009, I went to visit my grandmother again. When I woke up I saw Grandmother was exercising. I said, “I want to exercise, too, why didn't you wake me up?” She asked, “Can you get up so early?” I said I could. She said, “Didn't you say that you would learn after middle school?” I suddenly opened my eyes wide and said, “I cannot wait any longer! I want to learn now!” My grandmother was dumbfounded and later realized that it was Master's hint to help me obtain the Fa.
When I did the fifth exercise, it was very difficult. My legs were injured many times when I was a child. I did not think of it much at the time and just asked Master, “Help me cross my legs for a minimum of half an hour.” I did sit for half an hour, but the pain was beyond words. My right leg was black and blue. I knew Master was helping me to eliminate karma. One time, my leg began to spasm, and I clenched my teeth. When Grandmother saw that, she told me to put my legs down, but I shook my head and did half an hour. The tears in my mouth were salty and bitter. After the sitting meditation, I tasted sweetness in my mouth. That sweetness was beyond this human world. I experienced this three times and knew Master was encouraging me: after bitterness there is sweetness.
Master helped me eliminate karma and improve my xinxing
My grandmother came to live with me in 2009 and guided me in studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I was in the 9th grade. I had ten classes a day, but I never missed Fa study or the exercises. I got up at 3:55 a.m. every morning. I would do the five exercises and then send forth righteous thoughts. I would also memorize the Fa before I went to school. I often had illness karma during class, but I knew this was to eliminate karma. Because I studied the Fa, my xinxing was also improving.
One time, a male classmate hit me for no reason. I did not fight back, and he kept hitting me until my arm was swollen. I did not care to fight with him and just smiled. I knew I was clearing a debt from a previous life. Another time, when I went downstairs, someone pushed me hard from behind. I almost fell down. I turned around, ready to say something, but I changed my mind: I am a cultivator, I will not deal with things like ordinary people. I knew there was a reason within.
I was on duty one day, and it was noon. I was sweeping the hall, and two boys were kicking a ball. Suddenly the ball hit me on the side of the head very hard. All my classmates surrounded me and asked if I was all right. I said I was fine, but they were all scared and told the teacher. The teacher notified both parents immediately, because he was afraid of being held responsible for the consequences. I knew it was serious. I told the teacher I was all right, but he insisted that both of the boys' parents come. I called Grandmother. She told me to hold on to my righteous thoughts, that we have Master and that we would be fine. Both parents came, and Grandmother also came and told me not to make trouble for the other party. But the teacher insisted that we go to the hospital. My mother agreed, and we took a taxi to a nearby hospital. Grandmother and I sat in the car and sent forth righteous thoughts to make the machine stop working. The doctor said the machine was not working because there was no electricity. Grandmother and I smiled.
A truth clarification miracle
Grandmother and I went out to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa every Sunday. I asked her, “How do we talk to someone in his or her 30s?” Grandma told me that would depend on the situation. That day Master arranged for someone that age for me to clarify the truth to. It was amazing.
Grandma can persuade 950f those she speaks with to quit the CCP. Many miracles have happened; here are two examples.
On May 12, 2009, after I returned from school, I saw Grandma had created a bunch of materials in all kinds of colors and with all kinds of messages: “Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa,” “It is heaven's will to eliminate the CCP,” “Quit the evil organization to safeguard your future,” “Justice will prevail,” “It is a crime to persecute Falun Gong.” I told her, “Tomorrow is World Falun Dafa Day, I also want to go out to validate the Fa.” Grandma agreed. On May 13, after we sent forth righteous thoughts at midnight, we went out with our umbrella. As we walked down the street, we saw a taxi driver who had been stopped by two police cars with a dozen policemen surrounding him. We posted our truth clarification materials. There were people walking by, but Grandma said no one could see us. We sent forth righteous thoughts and walked on. By the time we arrived at a bus station, we had run out of posters. We began writing on the concrete poles. The police were not far, so we sent out strong righteous thoughts that no one could see us, that no one was allowed to see us! They did not see us at all, even though we were less than 50 meters away. I knew Master was helping us.
When we came to a highway, there were several big poles underneath. There were people walking around, and we sent forth righteous thoughts for a while. I wrote, “The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, Life Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” The message stayed up for over a month.
My cousin got married in 2011, and we attended the wedding. I discussed with grandma that this was a good chance to save people. We sent forth righteous thoughts all the way to the wedding. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts, and Grandma kept telling everyone about all the wonders of Dafa, how it was wrong to persecute Falun Gong, how Master has come to save people, how we should abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and how the Tiananmen Square self immolation was staged. Those who attended the wedding learned the truth and quit the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and its affiliated organizations.
Eliminating our attachments so that Master will not have to worry about us anymore
I began attending boarding school in 2010. Grandmother prepared an MP3 player for me to study the Fa. The environment was not pure, and there were all kinds of human mindsets. Initially I was able to study the Fa for an hour everyday, but gradually I slacked off. Later, two girls wanted to be my friends, and I wasted a lot of time with human emotion. I was attached to ordinary people's websites. Master was worried about me and tried to help me to get rid of the attachment. Sometimes when I was online, suddenly there was nothing on the screen, and I knew I should get rid of the attachment, I was not as clean as I thought. I have to use the computer to learn, and Mother also urged me to learn how to type.
When I came home on weekends, Grandma would come also. She noticed how I had changed. I fell asleep while doing the sitting meditation. Grandma discussed this on the basis of the Fa. She wanted me to let go of the attachment, and in the meantime, Master published a new scripture “Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa.” I read it several times that night and awakened suddenly. I should not cause Master to worry about me anymore. When I returned to school, I decided to let go of my attachment. After that I found out it was very easy and I felt so light. Just like what Master said.
“Try to endure what is difficult to endure; when it seems impossible to make it and it is said to be difficult to make it, then you may just as well try it to see if you can make it after all. If you can really make it, you will find yourself in dark willows and blooming flowers, indeed, another village ahead!” (Zhuan Falun)
I want to thank fellow practitioners for their help, support and care. I wrote this with their encouragement. I also hope that fellow young practitioners will not get lost in the ordinary world, that they are more diligent in the final stage and not cause Master to worry about us anymore.
Please kindly point out any shortcomings.
Heshi.
