(Minghui.org) I was frail and plagued with many ailments since childhood. I caught measles when I was four and coughed year around for many years. I sometimes coughed endlessly and sweat profusely when I was unable to catch my breath. I took medications for years but saw no improvement. I also contracted other illnesses, including pleurisy, tuberculosis, rheumatism, hypoglycemia, and hyperthyroidism. The suffering made my temper worse, and I became grumpy and unforgiving.

All my ailments disappeared half a year after I started practicing‎‎ Falun Dafa. I became healthy and tolerant and haven’t seen a doctor for 20 years. I got rid of my 3.50-degree reading glasses and can read Master Li Hongzhi’s Fa lectures easily without them. I’m now 76 years old. Falun Dafa is miraculous!

Fulfilling My Vows to Do the Three Things Well‎
I get up at 2:55 a.m. every day and do the five sets of Dafa exercises. I make breakfast for my grandson before sending forth righteous thoughts and reading a lecture of Zhuan Falun. I then go out to tell people about Falun Dafa and advise them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I study the Fa again in the afternoon if we hadn’t arranged to go out to clarify the truth. After dinner, I upload the list of names I collected of people who quit the CCP and its youth organizations. I finish my day studying Master’s lectures and read fellow practitioners’ sharing articles on the Minghui website.‎

When I meet people with a predestined relationship, I ask Master to strengthen me and clear the old forces' grip on them, so they could accept hearing the truth and receive salvation. I talk to everyone with compassion.

Master said,

“When you explain the truth, you cannot speak at too high a level if you want to save people; otherwise it will have a negative effect. There have been many lessons in this.” (“Fa Teaching at the New York Fa Conference on the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Dafa’s Introduction to the Public”)

‎I explain to people what Falun Dafa is, the evil nature of the CCP, the staged “Tiananmen Square self-immolation”, why the CCP ‎‎persecutes‎‎ Dafa, and that good will be rewarded and evil will meet with retribution. I then talk about why it is important to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. Most people agree to quit the Party.

When people refuse to listen, I do not get discouraged and tell them, “You don’t accept what I’m saying today because it is not your time yet. I’m sure that one day you will want to listen.” I always give them my best wishes.‎

I met a college instructor who told me she was responsible for monitoring Falun Dafa practitioners in her college. She had a close colleague who had been arrested several times and suffered a lot in prison. This practitioner was later expelled from her job. The instructor asked me, “Are you obsessed or foolish? A hundred people have already talked to me about quitting the CCP. I didn’t want to listen.”

“I am the 101st person then,” I replied. “And today should be the time for you to quit the Party.” She looked quite kind, and I thought there might be hope. So I didn’t want to give up and chatted with her for two hours.

She eventually said, “I believe you! Please help me quit the CCP.” I was relieved and thanked Master for strengthening me.

‎‎‎‎‎‎I met a man at a bus station this past Chinese New Year holiday. I started chatting with him, and he agreed that the Party is not good and people nowadays have no morality. I said, “Heaven will eliminate the CCP. Have you ever joined the Party or its youth organizations? Hurry up and quit them.”

He interrupted me, saying he would call the police if I carried on about this. I was not perturbed by his actions, and said, “I’m telling you this for your own sake. Reporting me to the police won’t do you any good.” I sent forth righteous thought to eliminate the old force factors controlling him and to stop him from committing crimes against Dafa. I also asked Master to strengthen me. The man left without saying a word.

Saving Lives During the Pandemic

When the coronavirus broke out in early 2020, it didn’t deter me from going out as usual to clarify the truth. However, there were few people on the streets, and those that were out all tried to keep their distance. I went to stores and transportation hubs, trying to interact with people and find opportunities to talk to them. While grocery shopping, the vendor gave me too much change. So I returned the extra amount to him and used the opportunity to talk about Dafa and advise him to quit the CCP for a safe future. He readily agreed.‎

As the pandemic heated up, the city was locked down. Roads and streets were blocked, and communities were closed. Residents had to show documents, wear masks, and have their temperatures taken when entering and exiting their residential compounds.

As the situation got worse, I experienced more pressure at home. My son called me saying, “Mom, please stop going out. If you aren’t afraid, you still need to think of others in our family! If anything happened to anyone of us, our whole family would be quarantined.”‎ My daughter and her husband, who lived with me at the time, also tried to stop me from going out to talk to people.

I told them sternly, “Whoever is afraid can move out! Now is a crucial time and saving lives is the most important thing. Don’t try to stop me.”

I then calmed down and thought about the situation. My family was usually supportive of me going out to do the three things, so I should understand that they are afraid of the pandemic. I was not being compassionate, had a competitive mentality, and was resentful. I said to Master in my mind: Master, I was wrong. I missed an opportunity to improve myself and was not compassionate.

I told my daughter and her husband, “Don’t be afraid! Saving people is mom’s mission. As a Dafa practitioner, I want to fulfill my prehistoric vows. We practitioners have energy, so the virus cannot get to us. I’ll be okay. Of course, I will take precautions.” ‎I also explained that sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” would ensure their safety.

My children witnessed Dafa’s miracles from seeing improvements in me over the years, and they stopped worrying about me. They now recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ every day. My daughter cooks me breakfast before I go out. Once, when I came back, my little grandson asked me, “Grandma, how many people did you save today?”

I told him, “Master is saving all the people. Grandma just ran around and talked to them.” They all laughed.‎

Overcoming Tribulations

On August 15, 2019, I got up from sitting on the couch and immediately collapsed. I sat up and sent forth righteous thought for 25 minutes, then stood up to do the exercises. I couldn’t position my arms correctly, but I persisted in finishing all five sets of exercises. When it was time for the global sending forth righteous thoughts, I had difficulty speaking. I held the thought to firmly believe that this is not an illness. I then went out to do the three things as usual.I staggered while walking, however, and my feet felt like they weren’t stepping on solid ground. I had to grip onto the banisters when going up and down the stairs of an overpass and sometimes needed help to get on and off the bus. But I firmly believed, “I am okay. This is not an illness.‎”

My daughter-in-law came over and after seeing the way I walked, asked me, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? You walk differently, and you’re losing weight.” I could not hide it anymore and told her my situation. She asked, “Why didn’t you call us?”

I replied, “I’m not sick, and I didn’t want to worry you.”‎

My son wanted to take me to the hospital, but I refused saying, “I’m not going. I’m not sick, and the hospital can’t treat me. I have Master looking after me. I am eliminating karma, and Master is purifying my body so that I can improve in my cultivation.” He smiled, and I soon recovered.‎

I developed a bad cough in May 2020, and spat out a lot of sputum, sometimes with blood in it. I intensified my sending forth righteous thoughts. Each time before I went out to talk to people, I asked Master for help, “Master, I am going out now. Please strengthen me so I won’t cough and frighten people.”

I didn’t cough for the duration I was out, but started coughing badly as soon as I got home. My daughter said, “Mom, you have coughed for many days. This place is not soundproof. Whoever hears your cough will be scared.

“There’s a family in our neighborhood who coughed after frying hot peppers. Their neighbor called the police, and they were taken to the hospital for COVID tests.

“I am different,” I replied. “I have Master’s protection and no one can touch me. Of course, I will do my best to be quieter.”‎

While experiencing sickness karma, I refused to acknowledge it. I based my every thought on the Fa’s standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and firmly believed in Master and Dafa. With Master’s protection, I overcame the tribulation in 20 days.

I now have fine skin, a rosy complexion, and no wrinkles. Much of my gray hair has turned black. I walk a lot to talk to people about Dafa, and I don’t feel tired at all. When people learn of my age, they envy me. I then take the opportunity to tell them about the beauty of Dafa.‎

‎Only with Master’s guidance and protection was I able to cultivate through to today. I know that I am still far from the standards of the Fa. Although I have kept doing the three things, I still have attachments of fear, self-protection, and selfishness. I will cultivate diligently, try to get rid of all my attachments, and return to my original true self, which is altruistic and selfless.‎

Thank you Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
