Calling Out for Master’s Help at Critical Moments is a Manifestation of Faith in Master and Dafa

(Minghui.org) I was born in the 1980s. I am the only Falun Dafa practitioner in my area, so I often felt lonely and sometimes even doubted if Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) was still taking care of me. However, after calling out for Master’s help one day, I was able to regain my solid faith in Master and Dafa.

Attached to Worldly Pursuits

I lived alone in my company’s dormitory, a few minutes’ walk from my office. Most people worked remotely, so I was often the only person working all day in the office. After an extended period of having no one to interact with, day or night, I began to feel a sense of emptiness, loneliness, and even helplessness. I had an indescribable and persistent pain that was hard to get rid of. I had no desire to do anything, including speaking or eating. Every time I ran into a small conflict or problem, I became very upset. These negative sentiments consumed me for over eight years.

I focused most of my time and energy on studying and taking exams for professional certificates after work, and I only read Dafa teachings sporadically. I was attached to the goal I had set for myself, which was to get several professional certificates to secure a solid income and career growth. I figured if I didn’t have these certificates, I would run into obstacles in my career. Whenever I failed an exam, I complained that my efforts were not duly rewarded, and I began to doubt both myself and Dafa. 

The Issue of Studying the Fa without Gaining Enlightenment

I used to read Dafa teachings the same way I read ordinary books. After reading, I didn’t feel that I’d enlightened to anything. I even began to feel bored with reading Zhuan Falun over and over again. This lack of respect towards Dafa caused the old forces to take advantage of my loopholes and amplify them.

I became happy whenever things went well, but if something didn’t go my way, I looked at it negatively, not treating myself as a Dafa cultivator. I didn’t take eliminating bad thoughts and interference from other dimensions seriously and didn’t send righteous thoughts on a regular basis. Gradually, more and more bad substances accumulated in me. 

Looking back, I can see this was why I failed to gain any enlightenment from reading the Dafa teachings. 

Calling Out to Master to Help Me

I found life tedious, being by myself all the time. I imagined that Master didn’t care about me any more, and even wondered if Master had given up on me! This bad state disturbed me for a long time, until one day, as I was worrying about my situation as usual, a thought came into my mind, “Why don’t you call out to Master for help? Call on Master!” All of a sudden, my true self woke up and, with tears in my eyes, I said over and over, “Master, please save me! Please give me strength!” 

I didn’t stop calling for Master’s help until I fell asleep. I slept soundly and woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I also felt hungry and immediately wanted to eat – something, I hadn’t wanted to do for a long time, even when I was hungry. Furthermore, the heavy feeling of loneliness that had haunted me for years had gone. 

I have since learned that calling out for Master’s help at critical moments is a manifestation of faith in Master and Dafa. In a crisis or difficult situation, we should believe that Master can get rid of bad substances for us. After solidifying my faith in Master and Dafa, my mental state became stable and tranquil. Whenever bad thoughts came up again, I immediately asked Master to help me eliminate them. 

Dafa Brings Me Inner Peace and Happiness

I began to study Dafa teachings regularly, and enlightened that my abilities were given to me by Dafa. If something isn’t mine, I wouldn’t obtain it regardless of what I did. As a Dafa disciple, my life has been arranged by Master, and I should let everything happen naturally. Everything I encounter, good or bad, is a blessing given by Master. It is arranged by Master to help me cultivate and remove human attachments so I can return to my true home. 

Dafa’s teachings helped me get rid of all the bad substances that had interfered with me, and gave me inner peace and happiness. It is exactly as Master said, “The Fa can break all attachments...” (“Drive Out Interference,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II).

With the wisdom given to me by Dafa, I have now obtained six certificates. My name has been added to the list of experts at the provincial and national levels. I have been selected to be on expert panels on various occasions, and I am indebted to Master for giving me these skills.

Recently, I often think how fortunate I am to cultivate in Dafa. Even though I live by myself, I am happy because I have Master taking care of me. I truly feel Master’s boundless compassion and I am determined to cultivate solidly in Dafa and strictly use the Fa to rectify myself. 

The above is my personal cultivation experience at my current level. Please kindly point out anything that is not in line with Dafa’s teachings.
