Memories of Being Steadfast in Cultivation and Returning To True Cultivation

(Minghui.org) I am a young female Falun Dafa practitioner who started practicing Falun Dafa with my mother at a very young age. According to my mother, I was diligent and firmly believed in Dafa when I was young.

I was nine years old in 1999. My mother and I often attended group Fa study at a practitioner’s house. After my father forbade me to attend group Fa study, I managed to go to that practitioner’s house by myself one evening. My thoughts were pure and I merely wanted to study the Fa with everyone. All the practitioners were surprised to see me because my house was quite some distance away.

Children needed to receive their immunizations at a young age, but I knew that as a Falun Dafa practitioner the immunizations were unnecessary. My father tried to force me to get immunized one time when my mother wasn’t home. He said, “What will happen if you get sick?” I was firm in my thoughts and refused to be immunized. My father gave up and did not force me.

My mother decided to peacefully appeal to our provincial government one year. When I did not see my mother or my older brother in the morning, I started to cry. My father said, “Your mother and brother left early in the morning.” I realized that I had been left behind and was very upset. When my mother came back she said, “ I called you several times but you did not wake up. I did not want to wake up your father, so we left without you.”

My mother decided to go to Beijing to validate the Fa and decided to take me along. As we were leaving our village, my aunt pulled me away because she did not want me to go. My mother had no choice but to have me return home. I really wanted to go to Beijing with my mother.

I had a high fever when I was in school. After seeing how much I was vomiting, my father insisted that I go to hospital for treatment. I said firmly, “I will be fine in a day. I will be able to attend school tomorrow.” Miraculously, all my discomfort disappeared the next day.

I sat in the back of the classroom during my first year of high school and saw my classmates slandering Falun Dafa on the blackboard. I wanted to stop them, but did not know how. During a classroom break, I mustered up the courage to erase everything written on the blackboard.

My head teacher became really angry and told the principal. The principal called my grandmother and the police. The principal demanded that I admit my wrongdoing. I thought I did nothing wrong. The school threatened to expel me. My mother and other practitioners came to the school and took me home.

On our way home, my mother told the other practitioners, “If she really can’t go to school, her father will be very angry.” Everyone came to the conclusion that we should not be swayed and that I needed to attend school as usual. With practitioners working together as one body, I was not worried about not being able to go to school during this tribulation.

How precious were my thoughts in cultivation when I was young! As the years that have passed, my human notions have increased and I am no longer as pure as I was in cultivation.

I would like to share my cultivation experiences on Minghui.org. This is also a chance for me to return to cultivation and cultivate diligently!

Though my cultivation path has had its ups and downs, Master has been always protecting me. I have experienced many “life and death” situations. Master has always protected me each time and I am extremely grateful to Master and Dafa.
