(Minghui.org) I am a new practitioner and although I have only cultivated for a short time, I want to share my experiences with fellow practitioners.
I have benefited greatly since I began to practice Falun Dafa. I gained better health and turned into a nicer person. I don’t fight with people any longer no matter what they say, and I am considerate and help others. I get along well with the people in my village, and I don't mind doing household chores and working in the fields.
Everyone has noticed the changes in me and they told each other with thumbs up that Falun Dafa changed a shrew. They said, “Falun Dafa and its founder are great!
Finding Falun Dafa
I was a poor peasant and was looked down upon. I hated this world and also hated my fate. I married into a poor family and lived by the proverbs: “The person who is too nice will easily be taken advantage of,” and “a tame horse will always be ridden.” I was a fighter and had a bad temper.
My husband had nine brothers. I beat five of them. They reported me to the village office and the local government office. Many officials wanted to teach me a lesson, but instead I taught them a lesson.
My husband worked in Harbin City. He was told about my behavior and thus asked me to come to his place. I was not able to work because I was in poor health.
I was staying at his younger brother’s house where I saw the brother’s wife reading a book. I asked her about the book and she said that it teaches people to be good.
When I entered the room, I saw a big Buddha with curly hair and wearing a yellow robe. I was shocked and immediately left.
I kept looking back at that big Buddha and kept the door open with one foot. I felt strange and asked my sister-in-law what she was practicing. She said it was Falun Dafa. I told her what I saw, and she happily told me that I had a good predestined relationship. I told her that I wanted to read that book.
My sister-in-law and I shared the book. I read it during the day and she read it in the evening. She copied the lecture tapes for me. I couldn't stop reading. I could not understand the principles, but I knew that the book was special. I thought that I had found the true Tao and decided to learn Falun Dafa.
The Principles Opened My Mind
I began to practice Falun Dafa on July 25, 2011 and read Zhuan Falun every day. If I could not understand some of the words, and I would ask for help and discussed it with my sister-in-law.
The principles outlined in the book opened up my mind. For the first time I began to know how to be considerate. I realized that I was too selfish, had hurt others and needed to let go of all my attachments.
I have learned not to repay evil with evil. I bought food to share with my husband's elder brother's family. His wife took the food and said some nasty words. In the past I would have taken the food and left. But, I remained calm and thanked her for giving me the opportunity to improve my character and heart nature.
I was the boss in my house and my husband kept quiet when I rattled off. I now no longer have a temper. On the contrary, my husband gives me a hard time. I do not fight with him, but thank him from deep inside.
Spreading Falun Dafa
I saw the title “Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People” (The Essentials of Diligent Progress Vol. III) in the Minghui Weekly. I realized that although I began to practice Falun Dafa only recently, the mission of saving people is the same. I am also Master’s disciple. Therefore, I have to study the Fa diligently, send righteous thoughts, and talk to people about Falun Dafa and the unprecedented persecution.
I decided to go to my hometown to tell people about Falun Dafa. However, our village did not have any practitioners and I did not know where to get informational materials about Falun Dafa.
I wrote on pieces of paper: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and posted them. I was afraid, but thought: “What is there to be afraid of? Master is beside me.” I was finished around 3:00 a.m.
I took a bus to one village and a boy told me, “A person asked you to go over there.” I ignored him and kept walking, but a group of about 20 people caught up with me. The leader looked like a government official. He held several flyers in his hand and asked: “Did you hand these out? What's that you wrote about the rock?”
I thought that this was the perfect opportunity to tell them the truth about Falun Dafa. I said: “The words carved in the rock are from heaven and have foretold that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)) is doomed. To not be implicated, you must quit the CCP and its affiliates.”
One man in his 70s was angered, but I said: “You must have experienced all kinds of CCP political movements. Do you know how many people the CCP has killed? Eighty million.” The man was quiet.
The leader said: “I now know that Falun Dafa is a belief system. Go home and be careful.”
Experiencing Miracles
Sometimes I go home from my truth-clarification mission in villages late in the evening. Despite it being dark, there is always a beam of light ahead of me to help me see the road.
When handing out The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party a man was taking my photo. I realized that he was a plainclothes policeman. They needed several people to put me in the police car. I said: “Falun Dafa is good!” I kept sending righteous thoughts and told them the truth about Falun Dafa. At the police station they told me to go in but I refused. When they were trying to hold me, one said, “You have electricity which hurt me. If you don’t want to leave, then stay in the car.”
I was released, but signed a form before leaving, which I should not have done and regret, because we should not cooperate with the evil.
On one occasion my sister-in-law gave me Master's photo in a glass frame. It fell from my bag at the Harbin railway station and appeared to be in pieces. I put it back into my travel bag. When I finally took it out the glass was no longer broken. Tears flowed, and I knew Master used this to encourage me to keep cultivating solidly.
I will continue to do well and tell more people about Falun Dafa and be a diligent Dafa practitioner.
