Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Lights Up My Life

(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996, and have acted in accordance with the Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my everyday life ever since. I used to be sick and weak. I was introverted but argued with people a lot over trifles, and I was cunning. But after I practiced Falun Dafa, I became a kind person who considers others first. I don’t argue with people and have become open-minded.

Being a Good Employee

I am a sanitation worker. I used to be lazy and would rest a lot on the job. I was often caught and fined for not doing my work properly. After practicing Falun Dafa, I no longer received any fines and was instead awarded several times. One day it was very hot, around 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit). My manager drove his car for an inspection to see how we were all doing, but he only saw me working on the road, nobody else. He was very happy with me and said in a meeting that I would be awarded this year.

Later on our team was restructured. Groups of two people were put in charge of certain areas. One colleague was unable to get a partner because no one was willing to work with her. I chose her. Other colleagues bullied us and assigned us to the most difficult area. There was a night market there with a lot of trash. There were also many trees. On windy days, we couldn’t pull the cart full of rubbish, so I had to ask my husband to come help. I worked very well with that colleague. Other colleagues who had wanted to laugh at us didn’t get a chance. In the end, our area became the model area. Our manager asked all of our colleagues to learn from us. My photo was placed on the company bulletin board for several years. I am a practitioner and do as Master Li (Dafa’s founder) requires of us. I work hard and am not afraid of hard jobs. I am willing to sacrifice. I do my work wholeheartedly.

On one occasion my organization held a skills competition. I prepared for it for several days. I was the last contestant. I was so swift with strength that the person watching the timer was really amazed by me and forgot to switch the timer on. When he realized it, I had almost finished what I was doing. He made a rough estimate of the time I took. It was not my real time. When the results came back, I was behind the first person by less than a minute. I felt it was unfair. I got the number two prize of 1000 yuan. The number one prize was 3000 yuan, and a salary increase.

I told my husband about it after I got home. He asked me why I didn’t talk to the leader. I said: “I am a practitioner and do what Master requires us to do. Master requires us not to seek fame or personal interest. I must put it into action. If I didn’t practice Falun Dafa, I wouldn’t have received any prize.” I used to be a person who did everything slowly. My belief gives me strength. I feel energetic every day. Thus I got the number two prize.

On another occasion, my colleagues in my department witnessed how good Falun Dafa practitioners are. I came across a package on the ground one day while I was working. I opened it and saw a stack of 100 yuan bills. When my team leader came to inspect our work, I handed the package to him. I told him to hand it to the general managers if nobody came to claim it. At the end of the year, he gave it to our 16 team members and everyone got more than 100 yuan. I asked him why he didn’t hand it to the general managers. He said that they would’ve taken the money for themselves and he would rather give it to our team members. This laid a good foundation for me to clarify the truth to our team.

After the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) started persecuting Falun Dafa, I was transferred to work as a fee collector and then as a custodian. Some of my colleagues collected fees from clients but didn’t give them a receipt. Some collected more money than was required. I never did this. I gave receipts to every client because the receipts showed how much money I had collected.

As a warehouse custodian, I needed to buy accessories. My previous colleague spent 26 yuan to buy a tire but then asked the shop assistant to give her an invoice for 50 yuan so that she could get more reimbursement from our organization. I never did this. Sometimes the shop owners asked me how much I wanted an invoice for. I told them to invoice the actual amount. When I asked workers to deliver tires and other accessories to my warehouse, I bought drinks for them in the hot summer out of my own pocket. Falun Dafa practitioners comply with Dafa principles and behave honestly. Society would definitely benefit a lot if people were all like us.

Taking Good Care of My Parents

My father became an orphan when he was three years old. He was brought up by his sister. After he married my mother, he moved in with my mother’s family. My brothers and sisters (four of us) were brought up by my grandmother. To take better care of us, she resigned from her job and stayed at home. Her previous colleagues got a pension when they retired, but she didn’t. My grandmother had five children. Two of them didn’t give her a penny. The other three only gave her 5 yuan a month. She lived on 15 yuan a month. Our family should have given her more because she brought us up and gave up her job for us. But my parents didn’t. She wanted to live with us for several months before she passed away. She only lived with us for a few days before my father forced us to send her back. I felt my father was not good to her. I made up my mind in my heart that I would not be good to my father when I grew up because of the way he treated my grandmother. If I hadn’t practiced Falun Dafa, I would not have treated him well.

My parents had a car accident and were hit by a truck in 1998. My father didn’t wake up for two days. My mother was awake. I knew only Master could save him. I pleaded with Master to save my father because my brother still needed our parents’ care. After I had this thought, the doctor shouted that he had woken up. My father was saved. My parents have been healthy since and are now in their 80s. Thank you Master for your compassionate salvation. Falun Dafa indeed changed me. I no longer have resentment toward him. I look after him and my mother. I buy clothes for them, do washing and cook for them, as well as shop for them. When I have good food, I think of them first and deliver it to them. Thank you Master for teaching us the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I look after them so that I won’t have any regrets after they leave this world.

My Husband Has Benefited from Falun Dafa

My husband told everyone that Falun Dafa is good when the persecution started. Other people said he would be arrested if he continued saying Falun Dafa is good. He said that he had no fear because his wife recovered from all her illnesses after she practiced Falun Dafa.

I used to suffer from rheumatism, stomachaches, and migraines. I had back pain, which started after I gave birth to my son. My back got so painful that I had to ask my husband to massage me. He sometimes got impatient and wouldn’t do it for me. I went to see a Chinese doctor who did acupuncture and cupping for me. This alleviated my pain a little bit, but not long after my back pain started up again. My legs are also cramped due to rheumatism. Sometimes I was woken up by leg cramps. It hurt so much. I recovered from these illnesses after I practiced Falun Dafa.

I no longer argued with my husband over trivial things. I became tolerant and could put up with him. As I became healthy, I became cheerful and optimistic. He witnessed my changes. That was why he dared to say Falun Dafa is good, even in such a vicious environment.

I’d like to share two miracles that happened to my husband.

One day I was reading the paragraph about quitting smoking in Zhuan Falun. My husband was listening. He then gave up smoking. He had been smoking for 30 years!

Early one morning I was practicing the Falun Dafa exercises in the sitting room in 2016. My husband got up and went to the toilet. At 5 a.m., I was doing meditation. He came out again. I felt suspicious about why he got up. I opened my eyes and saw he was leaning against the fridge, slipping down slowly. I got up and caught him. He didn’t fall. I held his head and sat down. I saw one side of his body was different. It was a stroke symptom because he had high blood pressure and heart problems. I pleaded with Master to save him. My husband became normal again. I got so relieved and thanked Master in my heart. Ten minutes later my husband came to his senses, and I told him what had happened. He was very thankful to Master. He has never opposed me practicing Falun Dafa. He has benefited from Falun Dafa and is now very healthy.

I’d like to tell people that Falun Dafa benefits the people and the nation without doing any harm. Falun Dafa teaches people to be truthful, compassionate, and kind. Practitioners improve their health and morality, and their minds and bodies have been purified. I am no longer lost in life, as I have this beacon of light guiding me. My life has become meaningful. I hope that people remember “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I hope people keep their kindness and choose kindness to ensure that they will have a bright and beautiful future.
