(Minghui.org) My husband and I are both in our 70s, and have been practicing Falun Dafa for over 20 years. Master Li (Dafa’s founder) gave us good health, so much so that we are able to live independently from our children. Below are some of my cultivation experiences.
Two police officers visited us one afternoon last October. My husband and I welcomed them into the house. They told us their names, and one officer was wearing an emblem of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He showed us a piece of paper and told us to sign it if we had given up practicing Falun Dafa, and not to sign it if we still practiced.
We offered them seats but they initially declined to sit down, so I told them, “It is a predestined relationship that you come here. I have a lot to tell you. Why don’t you sit down?!” Our sincerity moved them and they sat down.
I said to the officer who was wearing the emblem, “Falun Dafa is so great! Our Master asks us to behave in accordance with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I used to work in construction as a laborer and had all sorts of illnesses. Cultivating Falun Dafa cured them all. I have had no need to take any pills or visit a hospital in the past 20 years. Falun Dafa practitioners have been arrested, imprisoned, beaten, and even had their organs harvested just because they wanted to tell people ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’”
I continued, “Now the pandemic is here because of the Communist Party. The only way to escape it is to quit the Party and its youth organizations.”
He said he joined the Party when he was in college, over ten years ago. I asked him to withdraw his membership so he could save himself as well as his family members. He nodded in agreement.
The other officer also nodded his head when I spoke. I turned to him, and said, “You must have joined the Youth League and Young Pioneers?”
He mentioned that he was also a Party member, so I replied, “You heard what I said. Why don’t you quit them too.” He agreed.
When they were about to leave, I said, “Remember, Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, and you will have a good future.”
My son told me afterward, “Your words were just wonderful.”
I made a big mistake that a cultivator should never make. My son brought back five trays of bee pupae last August from Zhuan County. It was very late, and he was still tearing apart the cocoons and picking out the pupae with tweezers. Seeing him still working on them late into the night, I helped to tear the cocoons apart. I must have tore about 200 cocoons. The incident passed, and I never thought that I was killing.
However, my lower body began to itch and hurt four days later, as though countless bees were stinging me. I scratched them, making the spots a bloody mess, but they were still itchy. I felt like cutting the flesh off, then thought about what I did to the cocoons.
Killing is a most serious matter for cultivators. I knew I was wrong, and that I acted without compassion. I hurt so many bee pupae just because of my emotions for my son. Bees are also lives, and cultivators should never kill.
My hands, arms, and neck were itchy and painful, with yellow fluid oozing out. I couldn’t fall asleep the whole night. However, this uncomfortable feeling was gone as soon as I walked out the door to clarify the truth about Dafa, but it came back when I returned home.
My son found a doctor and asked me to see him. I told the doctor, “I am a cultivator. Doctors can’t help me. I can only solve this issue through cultivation.” I persisted in studying the Fa and doing the exercises, and went out to clarify the truth. I kept repenting to Master. It wasn’t until February this year that I was to be able to sleep at night. I would say that I am about two thirds healed. My hands, arms, and neck all recovered without leaving any scars. Thank you Master. I will remember this lesson.
I went out with my husband one morning as usual, and my stomach began to hurt. Two women, carrying babies, were chatting on the roadside. I went up to them and asked where a public restroom was. They appeared to be from the countryside. They were warm and kind. One of them answered, “We’ll take you there. It will take 7 to 8 minutes.”
As we walked, my stomach stopped hurting. I said, “You have been to school, haven’t you?”
They replied, “We are from the countryside, and never went to school. We came to our daughters’ homes to take care of their children. We often burn incense and prey to Buddha in our village. We believe that when calamity strikes, Buddhas and deities will come to save us. We both had the same dream last night. It says that the tribulation is coming, and there will be a person coming to tell us how to avoid it. It appeared that someone was pushing us to go out this morning. We took the babies out without feeding them. We don’t know where this person is.”
I said, “I am that person you are looking for. Here is the amulet to protect your life. Remember the words on them, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Dafa’s Master will come to protect you when tribulations come, and you will be safe.”
They held the amulet in their hands excitingly. “We’ve found that person!” they exclaimed. “We’ve found that person! You are the person we were looking for.”
My husband and I can feel Master’s benevolence toward practitioners and sentient beings all the time. We will cultivate ourselves well and help Master save more people, in order to fulfill our mission and return to our true homes.
