Walking My Path of Clarifying the Truth and Saving Sentient Beings

(Minghui.org) My only daughter was going to get married on May 1, 2012. According to the local custom, our whole family went to the provincial capital to bring the family members of my sister-in-law to my home. Arriving at her home, I saw she was very healthy and in good spirits. I hadn’t seen her for many years and she was a very busy person. She didn’t look like she was in her seventies. Out of curiosity, I asked her why she looked younger. She laughed and said to me happily that she practices Falun Dafa.

Then she told me that Falun Dafa is a high-level cultivation way of the Buddha School which was founded by Master Li Hongzhi. She then asked me to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I listened to her with much interest. What she said was so new to me. I thought to myself that I could learn Falun Dafa! She seemed to grasp what I thought and took out the book Zhuan Falun. She gave it to me and asked me to read it carefully when I went back home. She also gave me the exercise demo video. I accepted those priceless gifts with excitement and made up my mind to learn it and cultivate myself well.

I started to read Zhuan Falun immediately after I got home. As I read on, I was overwhelmed by the high-level principles Master revealed. I felt that Master broke the stale shells in my mind layer by layer and my mind was melting into the Fa gradually. Sometimes as I read, I could not hold back my tears. I was deeply attracted by Master’s Fa principles. I felt that Master was talking directly to me. Sometimes I could understand the Fa meanings, but couldn’t put them into words. I felt that my mind and body were fundamentally changed. This book was really amazing!

I also learned the five sets of exercises from the exercise demo video. I put up with the pain when doing the sitting meditation and the sore arms when doing the second exercise. When I came across conflicts, I looked within and cultivated myself according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I was regretful when I didn’t do well and was determined to do well the next time. I was elevating in the Fa bit by bit.

However, cultivation was not that simple. I didn’t feel well one day. I vomited and had diarrhea. I suspected that I ate stale food. I didn’t get better after two days. I lay in bed and didn’t have any strength. My husband asked me to see the doctor when he came home from work. I told him that I would not go because it was what I had to bear. He called my daughter. She and her husband came over and took me to the hospital.

The doctor conducted an examination and tried to inject me with something, but the needle didn’t go in however hard she tried. I didn’t realize what it was all about because I was a new practitioner. Finally, the injection was done. I stayed in the hospital for two days.

After I came home, I started to practice the exercises as usual. I studied the Fa and understood that I didn’t have an illness. Master helped me dissolve the karma and discharge the bad things inside my body. I treated such a good thing as an illness and pressed it inside my body when I took the medication and had an injection. I was such a fool. I was really sorry.

I used to be an undisciplined person; whether at work or studying, I was not focused. I was always hoping to have a better life and was not satisfied with the status quo. Only after obtaining the Fa did I find that I am so calm, and pure, and feel fulfilled. Our great Master is leading me on a path to return to my original home, which I had been searching for. I will complete the cultivation path to the end with determination.

One day I was shopping in a supermarket. One lady clarified the truth to me. What she said was similar to what my sister-in-law told me. I was so happy that I met a practitioner. I could study the Fa and clarify the truth to people with local practitioners. I felt assured now. I improved more quickly with other practitioners around.

Becoming Mature in Cultivation

My sister-in-law called me in early November 2013 and said that she needed more truth-clarification materials and asked me to deliver some to her. I managed to get a big bag of materials from the practitioner who made the materials. When I arrived at the train station with the materials, I saw inspection officers standing beside the entrance gates. Every bag had to go through the scanners. My heart almost jumped to my throat. What if they found my materials? My heart beat faster, but I tried to calm down. I recited Master’s poem in my heart.

“Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

A Great Enlightened One fears no hardshipHaving forged an adamantine willFree of attachment to living or dyingHe walks the path of Fa-rectificationconfident and posed”(Hong Yin II)

I felt Master gave me measureless power in an instant. He was just beside me. I put my bag on the inspection table while I was sending forth righteous thoughts. It passed the scan quickly. I picked it up and walked to the train leisurely.

I was calm and composed when I got off the train. I took a bus and got to my sister-in-law’s home safely. When I returned home, I thanked Master for his protection in front of his photo. I did what I was supposed to do. An artificial flower beside Master’s photo nodded at me. I was really surprised, yet felt so happy.

I received a call from my sister-in-law in early March 2014. She asked me to deliver some electronic books, pamphlets, DVDs, and amulets to her. I stood in front of Master’s photo with hands conjoined before I left home and said to Master: “Master, I am leaving. Please protect me so that I arrive there safely and come back home safely. Thank you, Master!” I felt Master was accompanying me the whole journey. I didn’t have any fear. The practitioners were very happy to see me with a big bag of materials. I knew that they were thanking Master for his protection.

Our local practitioners expressed their admiration of me for doing a great job. They admired my courage. I said, “I couldn’t do anything if there was no protection from Master.”

I went out to talk to people and gave out pamphlets with other practitioners every day. When we told people the two phrases, they expressed their thanks to us. When we saw they had been saved, we made up our minds to save more sentient beings. Wherever I had the opportunity, I clarified the truth to people, be it in the supermarket, veggie market, or on the street. We also came across people who didn’t listen to me. We would leave them with compassion and would lay a foundation for them to learn the truth in the future.

I obtained the Fa late and wanted to catch up as soon as possible, so I was strict with myself. I told veteran practitioners to let me know if there were any Dafa projects that I could get involved with. I learned that we could use cell phones to clarify the truth, so I bought two. I clarified the truth to people on the phones and encouraged them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I did this for three years. I bought a lot of phone cards which cost me a lot, so I saved money by becoming more frugal with my daily necessities.

One day I made an appointment with other practitioners to clarify the truth in a big supermarket, but there was a traffic jam. Finally, I met the other practitioners. We wasted no time and talked to many people and gave out all the materials we brought with us. I was thinking of going home early to cook dinner. We walked to the entrance of the supermarket. I grabbed a pamphlet from another practitioner and gave it to an elderly man. He didn’t take it. A security guard came to me and asked, “What are you distributing?” He tried to grab the pamphlet. I didn’t give it to him. He took my arm to my back and called other security guards. I argued with him loudly. A few security guards came and carried me into a police car and I was sent to the local police station.

Three policemen took me to a detention center at 11 pm that night. I was detained for five days and then transferred to a brainwashing center. I sent forth righteous thoughts all the time. I thought that I shouldn’t stay in that place and must negate the old forces’ arrangements. I clarified the truth to two female officers and told them how my health and mind were changed and how my family became more harmonious.

In the afternoon I experienced the symptoms of very high blood pressure; I knew that Master developed this false symptom for me and was rescuing me. At 5 pm, I was notified that my family members would pick me up and I could go home. I couldn’t hold back my tears. Master dissolved this persecution for me. The practitioners’ righteous thoughts broke through the old forces’ interference. I sent forth righteous thoughts on my way home.

I looked within after I came home. I noted that I became relaxed in cultivation. I helped more people withdraw from the CCP and distributed materials smoothly on that day. I became complacent. I was not calm or righteous facing the security guard. I stimulated his negativity. Then things turned out badly. My loophole in cultivation caused this persecution.

Cultivation is serious. A cultivator’s thoughts reflect their cultivation state. When we have ample righteous thoughts, bad elements can’t interfere with us. My righteous thoughts became relaxed due to complacency, so the old forces took advantage of it. On the other hand, I didn’t have fear. I was sending forth righteous thoughts in the police station and detention center. Master then helped me and rescued me from that evil place.

Continually Clarifying the Truth and Saving Sentient Beings

Master requests us to do the three things well. I clarify the truth to people with other practitioners in various places, attend the group Fa study and send forth righteous thoughts every day, rain or shine, hot or cold. When I am doing the house chores, I listen to the audio version of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, traditional stories, and experience-sharing articles by practitioners. I don’t let everyday stuff enter my mind.

My city was locked down due to the pandemic two years ago. I became anxious about staying at home at the start. What should I do since I couldn’t go out to save sentient beings? I adjusted my mentality and used this period of time to study the Fa and do the exercises more. I clarified the truth to the people in my residential area when I had the chance. One lady in my residential area was selling the vegetables she grew herself. I went to her to buy vegetables and took this opportunity to clarify the truth to her. She agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations and she accepted the amulet I gave her.

One day there was a new lady selling vegetables. I clarified the truth to her while buying vegetables from her. I asked her to be careful with the COVID-19 virus and told her to repeat “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” so she could stay safe during the pandemic. She thanked me.

As the lockdown loosened, people could go out. But there weren’t many people on the street. I walked along the street for a long time before I found a food shop that was open. I greeted the owner who said that he had to open the shop to make a living despite the pandemic. I told him to repeat “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” so that he could stay safe. I also told him that he would be blessed if he withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He thanked me repeatedly. I helped him quit the CCP.

One gentleman went out of the residential gate at the same time as me. I greeted him and chatted with him about the pandemic. I asked him to take good care of himself and talked about the withdrawal from the CCP organizations. He agreed with what I said. He said he didn’t like the CCP either. He showed his ID to me and agree to withdraw from the CCP with his real name.

I didn’t stop clarifying the truth to people during the pandemic, though sometimes I only talked to a couple of people a day.

Improving Myself While Having Conflicts

My husband didn’t quite understand the things I was doing. One day he shouted at me when I came home after I finished clarifying the truth to people. I was shocked and didn’t control myself well. I argued with him and didn’t act like a practitioner. I was so regretful afterward and stood in front of Master’s photo and apologized to Master. I am a practitioner; why did I behave like an everyday person? I clarify the truth to people every day.

I started to read Zhuan Falun. Master’s Fa jumped into my eyes:

“Perhaps as soon as you step in the door, your spouse will throw a fit right in your face. If you endure it, your effort of practicing qigong today is not in vain.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

“Because karma was there, she was helping him remove it. But he would not accept it and started a fight with her. The karma thus could not be eliminated.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

Didn’t Master talk about me? I didn’t cultivate well. My husband helped me improve. Why didn’t I understand it? If he didn’t have a conflict with me, my attachment could not be exposed and I couldn’t improve. I should thank him instead. I didn’t study the Fa well and didn’t use the principles to guide myself. When I improved my understanding, I realized he was really helping me with his heart and that I should thank him.

I have experienced the pain of getting rid of attachments and also the joy after improving my xinxing. I saw bright rings in red, green, and blue forming a half circle glittering one after another in the sky when I rode to a practitioner’s home on my scooter to celebrate Master’s birthday. The colors were transparent and crystal bright. The practitioners said that they were Falun (law wheels) and Master was encouraging us to cultivate well.

Master picked me up from hell and purified me. He spreads Dafa to us and provides us with a ladder to Heaven. No words could ever express my thanks to Master and Dafa. I will remember Master’s teaching, assimilate myself to the Fa and require myself to act according to the Fa. The Fa-rectification period has nearly come to the end. I will not miss any opportunity to improve. I will believe in Master and the Fa, walk the last leg of my cultivation path well and follow Master to return to my original home.
