(Minghui.org) In the past, I could only see the superficial meaning of the words when I read the Fa. Encouraged by many practitioners talking about the benefits of memorizing the teachings on the Minghui website, I began to memorize Zhuan Falun, starting with “Cultivation of Speech”, because I happened to be reading that part at the time.

To my surprise, I immediately enlightened to the mistakes I made in a research project and the cause of the tribulations I brought upon myself.

It happened about 10 years ago. As a chief senior engineer, I didn’t need to do any research projects, however, my department’s administrative director begged me to submit a project because theirs didn’t win any bids. I worked overtime and submitted one which was approved and funded by a national fund for over half a million yuan. It was big money for a small department.

Even though the administrative director asked me to submit it, my project didn’t include her as a researcher, instead, I added several people who didn’t participate including my son and two Falun Dafa practitioners.

My son and the practitioners didn’t participate in the initial research and would not do any work in the project, but I added their names anyway. This was fraud.

My work unit said the project was not my specialty so it was taken away from me and given to the administrative director. The director felt she owed me and asked me to join the team but I refused out of anger and I didn’t mind my speech.

The tribulations started.

My work load increased and became unreasonably heavy. Because she was the Communist Party secretary of our department sub-branch, the administrative director often met with my colleagues behind my back, telling them to reject my truth-clarification and report to her any materials I gave them about Falun Dafa.

Because of my heavy workload I did not have time to study the Fa and practice the exercises. I retired early a few years later. I knew something must be wrong with me or else I wouldn’t feel the work was so hard which caused me to retire early.

I had more time to study the Fa after I retired and I finally understood what happened. Master saw that I still had some righteous thoughts, and gave me an opportunity to redo the test shortly after I retired.

Several companies asked me to work for them, but I declined each one. One company saw that I was really unwilling to work again, so they offered to pay me to use my Chief Senior Engineer certificate. What a temptation! But this was fraud, and it would still be my responsibility if something went wrong. This time I controlled myself and did not agree.

By memorizing the Fa, I saw new meaning in the Fa. Master said,

“For instance, for our practitioners it is already predetermined at what stage they will become enlightened. If you unnecessarily insert something halfway along, it will cause difficulties to your entire cultivation practice. One thus practices wuwei.” (Lecture 8, Zhuan Falun Third Translation Edition Updated in March, 2000. USA)

I never imagined that my tribulation was due to my fraud and lack of cultivation of speech. At the same time, I am glad that I passed the make-up test.
