(Minghui.org) I am 78 years old, and I have been practicing Falun Dafa since 1997. During my 26 years of cultivation, I have always kept in mind Master Li Hongzhi’s teachings. I try to study the Fa a lot, cherish the time we have, and put my best effort into doing the three things well. I am firmly walking on the path of cultivating my character (xinxing) while assisting Master in Fa-rectification.

I have listened to Minghui Radio podcasts since 2010 when I first learned to download them. The content has become richer and richer, and I have benefited so much from this media format.

Learning to Download Audio Files

When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) first started to persecute Falun Gong, and the situation was the worst, my husband (also a practitioner) and I were forced to leave our hometown and go to a remote area to avoid being persecuted. We stayed there for six years.

Master arranged a very good cultivation environment for us, and we were able to study and memorize the Fa a lot, which laid a good foundation for us to validate the Fa in the future. We really cherished those precious times. However, after returning to our hometown in 2008, my husband was under pressure for a long period of time due to the persecution. His health declined, and in the spring of 2009, he passed away from persecution by the old forces in the form of sickness karma.

After my husband died, I went through a difficult period in my cultivation. But, guided by Dafa and protected by Master, I was able to get through this tribulation.

Even though my children were doing well in other places, and I could have gone to live with them, I decided it was best for my cultivation to live alone in my home.

At that time, I was very determined to practice Dafa, and my sense of mission and responsibility made me unwilling to remain silent. I then had the idea to produce fliers. With the help of relatives who knew the truth about Dafa, I bought a computer and a printer and learned to make truth-clarification materials from scratch. I was able to go to the Minghui website and download and print truth-clarification fliers and booklets. I then found out about Minghui Radio podcasts, so I started to download them and put the contents onto SD memory cards. I could then listen to the podcasts with an MP3 player. Since then, listening to Minghui radio has become an important part of my life.

The first thing I downloaded was a set of truth-clarification podcast episodes. Next were the articles from the 2010 and 2011 Fa Conferences in Washington DC and the 2010 Fa Conference in New York. I have repeatedly listened to these for many years, and I still have them today.

Later on, fellow practitioners from other places gave us players that had the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Disintegration of Communist Party Culture, Discussions on the Communist Party Culture, and The Cultivation Story of Buddha Milarepa. I like them all very much. I’ve listened to them over and over during these years, and I can recite a lot of the content, which has been very helpful in my clarifying the truth to people.

Using Podcasts to Clarify the Truth

I listened to that first set of truth-clarification podcasts countless times. I wanted to be able to memorize them so I could effectively clarify the truth to people. At that time, I didn’t know how to find the original written articles, so I just transcribed them as I listened. I then organized the content and memorized it.

I thought, “Wouldn’t it be even better to use the MP3 player to play them out loud for people?” So I put this set of podcasts on a memory card, and I memorized which number corresponded to which podcast, so I could play different content for people according to the situation. I have used this method to clarify the truth to my relatives, as well as with my students at reunions.

The students in a class I taught once got together and came to visit me. After they came in, I said, “Let’s first listen to some radio podcasts.” Everyone quietly listened to “Withdrawing From the CCP to Stay Safe” and “The Hidden Chinese Character Stone.” I said to them, “Withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations will keep you safe. As your teacher, I wish for you all to be safe and have a bright future.” Someone quickly stood up and said, “Let’s listen to our teacher and withdraw!” That day, 18 students quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Some students came late; so I played those podcasts again, and they also quit

In April 2016, two people from the county 610 Office came to my home for a so-called “checkup visit.” After I played the podcasts “To People in the 610 Office” and “To People in the Political and Legal Affairs Committee System,” one of them said, “Ma’am, are we done listening?” I said, “Listen to one more. This one is very important.” I knew that the next one was for people in the police force, Procuratorate, and judicial systems. They listened to all of it. I then advised them to quit the CCP to stay safe. They didn’t dare to but smiled as they said, “Let’s talk about it later.” However, I knew from their expressions that they were touched after hearing the truth.

The content currently aired on Minghui Radio podcasts is becoming richer and richer, and I want to listen to every episode. Every year, they record the articles turned in to the China Fahui on Minghui, Falun Dafa Day articles, stories of remembering Master’s grace, cultivation experience sharing articles, and overseas Fa conference articles—and I listen to them all. Sometimes, after listening to them several times, I still want to hear them again. Each time they provide additional encouragement for me to improve. I am often moved to tears.

When fellow practitioners talked about their happy memories in “Remembering Master’s Grace,” I felt as if I was there myself. I was moved to tears again and again, and my heart was full of infinite gratitude for Master. When listening to the touching stories of fellow practitioners overcoming tribulations with righteous thoughts and actions, I was encouraged to look for my own shortcomings and correct them with the Fa.

“Stories About the Early Days of the Minghui Website”

I listened to the podcasts in “Stories About the Early Days of the Minghui Website” several times, and I was very moved. Many of the stories were similar to my own experiences. In Part 4, when I heard, “Around September 2000, we downloaded two articles from the Minghui website. One of them was ‘Jiang Zemin Cannot Shirk Responsibility for the Persecution of Falun Gong.’ We printed hundred of thousands of copies and distributed them to every corner of our province. Our efforts to publicize the facts of the persecution reached a new turning point.” This reminded me of scenes of how we distributed materials in our area. They are still vivid in my mind today.

Here is one that I recall: It was around 11 a.m. one day when a young fellow practitioner came to speak to my husband. He said that practitioners from another region had given our area two bags of truth-clarification materials and asked if they could be stored in our home. At that time, we were the only couple in the area where both husband and wife practiced Dafa. Family members opposed all the other practitioners, so my husband agreed to it without hesitation. The fellow practitioners brought over the two large bags on a motorcycle. They were so large that one person could barely carry one bag. There are only three rooms in my home—two living rooms and one small room. Once the two bags were delivered, we placed them in the small room.

Given the rampant persecution at that time, we felt pressure to some extent about storing so many truth-clarification materials. But we were very firm in our hearts and were determined to protect these precious materials no matter what happened. I quickly sorted out some of them and gave them to different practitioners to distribute. But there were so many that they couldn’t all be distributed in a short period of time. So, for safety measures, my husband and I moved the materials at night and stored them in an unused water tank above the small room.

We then organized the materials at night and distributed them during the day. Once, at a large market, I ran into a friend and gave him a copy of “Jiang Zemin Cannot Shirk the Responsibility for the Persecution of Falun Gong.” He was surprised to see it and quickly folded the pamphlet and put it in his pocket. He then said to me in a voice of fear and concern, “I won’t tell anyone that you gave me this.” At that time, a lot of people had rarely seen truth-clarification materials.

Two fellow practitioners later thought of another way. They bought a large bag of small, rectangular zippered wallets. We would sort out the materials and put them in the wallets, then go out at night to distribute them. When people saw these small zippered wallets, they would pick them up and look inside. In this way, we were able to cover several villages and towns, and it didn’t take too long to distribute all the materials. This was a turning point for us! It was from then on that our region began to distribute truth-clarification materials on a large scale.

There were also some experience sharing articles on the Minghui Radio podcasts that did not get published in Minghui Weekly. So I tried to find the original articles and print them to give to practitioners who couldn’t listen to the podcasts.

It was mentioned in “Stories About the Early Days of the Minghui Website – Part 3” that “On July 18, 2000, the Minghui editorial department published ‘Our Compassionate and Venerable Master.’ This article, written for all Dafa disciples, revealed deep historical truth.” We did not see this important article due to the intense persecution at that time, but once I learned about it through a Minghui podcast, I found the article, printed it out, and shared it with other practitioners. I also gave copies to practitioners in the villages nearby.

Closing Remarks

I have lived alone for the past 13 years and listening to Minghui Radio podcasts has become a part of my life. I listen to them during my spare time, while cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, and at meal times. At breakfast and lunch, I listen to Minghui podcasts, and during dinner, I watch videos of the Shen Yun Choir. I have been doing this every day for 10 years and have benefited so much from it.

I also provided SD cards with podcasts of the China Fahui on Minghui articles and World Falun Dafa Day articles to fellow practitioners every year. They told me that they gained a lot by listening to them.

Due to my limited level, it is difficult for me to express all my feelings and experiences of listening to the Minghui Radio podcasts. I will continue to listen to them, work harder to do the three things well, and return to my true heavenly home with Master.

These experiences are based on my personal understanding. If anything is inappropriate, please kindly point it out.

Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
