(Minghui.org) I am a first grader who just started cultivating Falun Dafa. My mother is a Falun Dafa practitioner. I have always known that Falun Dafa is good and that it teaches you how to be a better person. But I never truly cultivated Falun Dafa until I entered first grade.
My teeth started to hurt last April. The pain continued for two weeks and only got worse. I took adult painkiller medication three times per day, but the pain persisted. I would wake up and cry from the pain every night. My father told my mother to take me to the dentist. The dentist said that he needed to drill a hole in my tooth and extract the nerve. I got scared and cried. I refused to do anything after hearing about the procedure.
My mother took me home and asked me to make a decision. I could either go along with the dental procedure or sincerely recite the two phrases: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I decided to sincerely recite the two phrases.
“Then if your teeth hurt again in the future, you need to bear the pain,” my mother said. “The reason we experience discomfort in our body is due to the karma we have accumulated. Your teeth will no longer hurt after the karma is eliminated.” I agreed.
I started to recite the two phrases every day. No matter how much my teeth hurt, I held back my tears. I refused to take the painkillers that my sister offered me, and I did not waver when my father told me to go back to the dentist. I recited the two phrases wholeheartedly. The pain in my teeth disappeared three days later and it never came back.
After this amazing experience, I told my mother, “I want to cultivate Falun Dafa.” My mother agreed. My older sister and I began to cultivate Falun Dafa. We would study and read Zhuan Falun whenever my sister and I had time. I was unable to recognize many of the Chinese characters in the beginning and my mother had to help me. After that, I was able to recognize characters that I had never learned. I am able to read Zhuan Falun fluently now. I am quite surprised at myself. My mother told me that Master has unlocked my wisdom.
My mother said that every practitioner should study the Fa well and needs to awaken sentient beings. So my sister and I would accompany my mother each time she clarified the truth. My mother, sister, and I distributed flyers in parking lots and our village’s alleys. I rode my bicycle with a stack of truth-clarification booklets in the bike’s basket, and I would place a booklet on each car door handle. The stack of booklets was quickly distributed when all three of us cooperated.
My mother once brought home a bag of amulets printed with the two phrases. I told my mother that I wanted to take some of the amulets to school to distribute them to my friends. My mother agreed but reminded me that I needed to tell them about the benefits of Falun Dafa. I started to tell some of my good friends about Falun Dafa and how sincerely reciting the two phrases will keep them safe from the pandemic and calamities. My good friends started to recite the phrases loudly with me. I hung amulets on their backpacks and they were all happy. My other classmates came over and also asked for amulets. There were more than 30 students in my class and I distributed the amulets to them in the afternoon. All of my classmates began to recite loudly the two phrases. I was truly happy for them.
I hand copied Hong Yin each day and studied Zhuan Falun with my older sister during my summer break. A lump appeared on my face one day. It felt hard and painful when I touched it. It hurt so much that I was unable to wash my face. My father was adamant about taking me to the hospital. I knew Master was eliminating my karma so I refused to go to the hospital.
The lump grew bigger after a couple of days. When I looked in the mirror, I realized that one side of my face was larger than the other. My older sister started to get anxious and asked if I wanted to take any medication. I told her that I didn’t want any medication. I persisted in reading Zhuan Falun and hand-copying Hong Yin every day. The lump disappeared in a couple of days and my face no longer hurt.
My mother was backing up her car one day. She did not notice I was nearby and the car tire ran over my foot. My parents were scared and hurried over. I began to cry. My father carried me into the room and said, “You must have fractured your foot. Let’s go to the hospital!”
“Daddy, I do not want to go to the hospital,” I wiped my tears dry and said. “My foot isn’t hurting. I cried not because it was hurting but because I was scared.” My father continued, “You still need to go to the hospital to get an x-ray. Your foot may not hurt now, but it may get swollen later.” My heart did not move and I said, “I am fine. I have Master’s protection.” My father was still worried. He told me he would finish up some work outside and then take me to the hospital.
My parents headed out to finish some work. I did not want to sit still so I put my shoes on and headed out as well. I tried walking and my foot did not hurt at all! I skipped and hopped over to my dad and spun around him. My father was surprised, “You are really fine! It is truly amazing!” My father did not mention taking me to the hospital again.
I have just started to cultivate Falun Dafa. Master has protected me continuously and helped me eliminate a lot of karma. I will cultivate better and save more sentient beings with my mother and sister and repay Master’s compassionate salvation.
Thank you Master!
