Falun Dafa’s Amazing Power

(Minghui.org) The following are some touching stories shared by practitioners in my area of how we improved our xinxing this past year.

Cultivating Forbearance At Home

My husband has four goldfish tanks. After he returned home from a party one night, he noticed that many fish were dead. He thought I poisoned them, lost his temper, and began cursing me.

I remembered that Master asked us to forbear, so I was calm. I felt a warm energy enveloping my entire body—it was a truly remarkable experience. My husband eventually realized he mistakenly added too much purifying product to the water.

In the past, our relationship was not great, given his short temper and constant yelling. After I began practicing Falun Dafa I stopped arguing. Instead of yelling back at him, I left the house with our children. I felt this was an acceptable solution, but I later realized that I was merely avoiding the problem for the sake of appearances.

A turning point came when my husband developed a brain condition. He was unable to care for himself and the doctor said his condition was incurable. I brought him home and played recordings of Master’s teachings for him. He gradually regained his mobility. I encouraged him to say, “Falun Dafa is good,” and his ability to read improved every day. The doctors were amazed by his progress.

He can now do chores independently, and his temper improved significantly. Sometimes, when I’m cooking in the kitchen, he opens the door and says, “Falun Dafa is good.” I respond with, “Yes, Falun Dafa is good. You’re doing exceptionally well!” Satisfied, he returns to his room.

Over the years, I gradually realized that I no longer have any resentment towards him, and I’m very calm.

Cultivating Myself When Engaged in Dafa Projects

During the COVID pandemic, I took on the responsibility of delivering Falun Dafa truth clarification materials to practitioners, but the lockdown restrictions made me anxious.

I began sending righteous thoughts and asked Master to help me. The other practitioners and I discussed strategies for delivering materials and we managed to reestablish our Fa study group in a suitable location.

I identified my root attachment—selfishness.

My husband was deeply influenced by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda. He didn’t believe in anything and refused to listen to the truth about Falun Dafa.

I engaged in daily activities such as group Fa study and truth clarification efforts, but I also recognized my responsibility at home. I knew I should be kind to my family and others. Therefore, I carefully prepared everything that my husband might need before I left the house.

Although I believed that I was doing my best, when I returned home a bit late he was upset. I thought, “I’ve done so much for you and been so considerate. Why do you treat me like this?”

Realizing that nothing was coincidental, I measured my xinxing with Dafa’s standards.

I discovered that I assumed I did everything well, but this was a manifestation of selfishness. Despite his blindness in one eye and poor eyesight in the other, I only considered my feelings, forgetting that my husband struggled to prepare his lunch.

When I identified my attachment I understood the importance of always thinking of others first. I decided to eliminate my selfishness.

I realized my husband’s behavior was a test for me and an opportunity to improve my character. My resentment vanished, and my heart brightened. Surprisingly, after I changed my attitude, my husband no longer complained about my going out.

In the limited time left for cultivation, we should understand the importance of studying the Fa well. Only this way can we diligently do the three things well and meet Master’s expectations.

Always Maintaining Righteous Thoughts

Over the years, some local practitioners who were actively involved in Dafa projects passed away, resulting in a significant loss.

I understood that the essence of cultivation lies in studying the Fa with one’s heart, and it’s not a formality. We should measure everything against the Fa in our lives, guide our thoughts and behavior with righteous thoughts, especially during critical times.

It’s crucial to send righteous thoughts. Doing the exercises is also important, as the transformation of our human bodies is essential. Doing the exercises well can also help deny the old forces’ arrangements.

In my personal experience, I found it was very important to deny interference when it surfaces. My vision sometimes blurred during Fa study, or I struggled to hear the others read. I sometimes felt drowsy or I misread the text, or experienced physical discomfort. Recognizing these as obstacles to my Fa study, I immediately thought, “I am Master’s disciple, and you don’t have the right to persecute me.” When I had this thought, all the inappropriate phenomena vanished.

Our Cultivation State Reflects Our Faith in the Fa

Master said,

“Back at that time, I wanted the transformation of the surface body to be in sync with the part that has been well-cultivated; I wanted to have the body be disassociated with the human state during cultivation; and I wanted to have the cultivating disciples use their own righteous thoughts to maintain a state that is just like that of human beings.” (Teachings at the Conference in Los Angeles)

“What I want has to be accomplished, even if we have to reverse history and start from scratch again. Both that content and process are necessary for Fa-rectification. I am not referring to things that will happen when the Fa rectifies the human world. (Teachings at the Conference in Los Angeles)

After reading Master's Fa, I wondered, “Now that it is the end of the Fa-rectification process, when will practitioners reach the state that Master wants? How much longer does Master have to continue rectifying the Fa, and how much more does Master have to endure for us practitioners?”

Two days later, something extraordinary happened. The text in Minghui Weekly appeared larger than before when I read it, and the same was true when I read other books. I realized that my eyes were able to magnify what I read. One morning, I instinctively reached for my eyeglasses, but just as I was about to put them on, they broke. It dawned on me that I no longer needed to wear glasses, and I haven’t worn them since. I can even read a small copy of Zhuan Falun without any problem.

Although I’ve experienced miraculous events in the past, I never thought practitioners possessed divine powers. Master gave this teaching in 2006, and by then, practitioners should have reached the state Master expected.

Reflecting on this, I realized that if we had removed all our human notions and attachments formed in the human world, the divine state would have manifested. What might the environment have been like if all practitioners achieved that state? The evil would have long been eliminated, and everyone destined to be saved would have been saved.

Yet, 16 years have passed since 2006. I asked myself why it took me so long to grasp more Fa principles. The answer was clear—I had not studied the Fa well. Although I studied the Fa every day, it had not penetrated my heart, and I was controlled by my thought karma. I struggled to focus while reading the Fa, resulting in a limited understanding of its principles. Consequently, I did the three things poorly, and I physically aged. I couldn’t help but feel regretful for wasting so much precious time.

Master, with great compassion, has extended the time for Fa-rectification repeatedly. We must cherish this precious time and constantly rectify ourselves. It’s imperative that we abandon our attachments such as selfishness and ego.

Dafa Transcends Modern Medicine

I’d like to share my colleague’s miraculous experience which demonstrates the extraordinary power of Dafa!

When people have positive thoughts about Dafa, it can make a significant difference. A colleague, with whom I had previously shared the truth of Falun Dafa, along with her family members, renounced the CCP. After her retirement, she often visited me and listened when I read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. She sometimes read along with me. She did not cultivate, but she acknowledged that Falun Dafa is good.

Her husband developed a sizable tumor on his leg in 2012. At first, he ignored it. As time passed, the tumor grew, causing pain and eventually hindering him from walking. Concerned, he sought medical treatment, and the diagnosis was troubling. The doctor said, “We must operate on such a large tumor, but we don’t know whether it’s benign or malignant. If it’s benign, we can proceed with the surgery, but if it’s malignant, we may need to amputate the leg.”

My colleague told me what happened and we visited her husband at the hospital. He had become noticeably frail. I advised him, “Given your strong belief in Dafa, you should seek Master’s help to save you!” The night before the scheduled operation, my colleague asked Master to safeguard her husband and their family.

During the surgery the following day, when the doctor began incising the tumor, an astonishing thing happened—the tumor detached on its own! Everyone present, including doctors and nurses, exclaimed, “Amazing, truly amazing!” Laboratory tests confirmed the tumor was malignant.

I shed tears over this miracle. Falun Dafa transcends the boundaries of modern medicine.

Conflict Helps Us Improve

That year, I joined a new Fa study group where I observed many practitioners making errors when they read Zhuan Falun. Some read so fast that it was hard for the others to keep up.

I found this situation unsettling and I silently criticized them: “How could these practitioners treat the Fa study so casually?” My strong ego surfaced. In my attempt to correct their mistakes, I noticed the more corrections I offered, the more errors seemed to surface. It felt as if some practitioners refused to acknowledge their mistakes.

On a day when an unfamiliar practitioner joined the group, she read the Fa carefully. As expected, the practitioner who read swiftly made numerous mistakes. When I pointed them out, she became impatient and argumentative. However, the new practitioner signaled me to stay silent.

After our Fa study, this fellow practitioner shared her own experiences of studying the Fa. She confessed to having made many mistakes initially while reading Zhuan Falun. A fellow practitioner corrected her and said, “Reading incorrectly can lead to a misunderstanding of the Fa’s principles.”

She then shared a profound realization—every one of us represents our cosmic world. All the beings within us follow our lead. If we misread the Fa, won’t they also misinterpret it? How can we truly assimilate to the Fa?

Surprisingly, everyone agreed with her. This incident left a lasting impression on me. I wondered why practitioners accepted her opinion but not mine. It dawned on me that my approach to fellow practitioners exposed my attachments to competition, jealousy, impatience, and self-validation.

The phrase “think of others” echoed in my mind for several days afterward. I recognized that unless I had consideration for others, I was not genuinely compassionate. Being altruistic and compassionate is a requirement for Dafa practitioners, and embodies the characteristics of the new universe. By eliminating the elements of the CCP indoctrination, our true nature will gradually emerge.
