Bringing Back Morality and Saving People in the Chaotic World

Udumbara, a Divine Revelation

Falun Dafa, originating in Changchun and spreading to Beijing and across China since May 1992, has been recognized by more people as not just a qigong practice but as a profound spiritual practice of the Buddha School. Meanwhile, an unusual flower began to blossom worldwide. This flower, known as the Udumbara flower, is believed to be a sign of the reincarnation of the “Holy King Who Turns the Wheel” mentioned in Buddhist scriptures.

The first appearance of the Udumbara flower was reported by the Korean media at Cheonggyesa Temple in 1997. Subsequently, numerous media outlets worldwide, including in China, have reported on sightings of the Udumbara flower. Notably, in May 2005, it reappeared at Jeonggak Temple, a thousand-year-old temple in Korea. Other blooms of Udumbara flowers were since widely reported, particularly in mainland China.

Udumbara flowers bloomed in Jeonggak Temple in Korea.

According to Buddhist scriptures, Buddha Shakyamuni mentioned that practicing cultivation in the secular world would have to wait until the day of the “Holy King Who Turns the Wheel” reincarnating on Earth. He further explained that if people were unaware of the Holy King’s reincarnation in the future, the Udumbara flower would bloom as a divine hint, and encountering the Holy King would be a special honor.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, the Udumbara flower, a holy flower, did not normally exist in the human world. but it appears once every three thousand years when Buddha or the Holy King comes.

Honoring Heaven’s Will to Save the World

In June 2002 in Guizhou Province the monumental discovery was made of a 270-million-year-old stone bearing six Chinese characters, which translate as “Chinese Communist Party Will Be Eliminated.” Experts concluded that these characters were naturally formed and date back 270 million years. This finding was seen by many faithful individuals as a significant sign of major changes to come in the world.

The characters for “Chinese Communist Party Will Be Eliminated” was discovered on a stone wall in Pingtang, Guizhou Province.

Geologists in Guizhou Province published a detailed investigation report in mid-August 2003, confirming that a massive stone had fallen from a steep cliff on the left bank of the river valley about five hundred years ago, leaving visible grooves on the cliff. The fallen rock split into two boulders upon impact, and the inner fracture surface of one of the boulders displayed the aforementioned words.

Another team of experts, including renowned geologists and paleontology specialists, visited the site in December 2003, and reached the same conclusion. Over 20 media outlets accompanied the team. Interestingly, news reports hesitated to mention the final word, “death” or “eliminated,” but focused solely on the first three words, “Chinese Communist Party.”

The inscription on the stone serves as a celestial warning to the world: Heaven intends to eliminate the CCP, urging people to awaken and distance themselves from the Party’s organizations. 

Wonderful Stories of Falun Dafa in Jixi

When Falun Dafa practitioner Ma Yuan’s mother, 85, was on her deathbed, more than thirty members of her family were gathered to say goodbye. Ma Yuan saw an opportunity to share Falun Dafa with the family. He consoled his crying uncle by promising to ask Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) to extend his mother’s life for another year. He requested that his relatives quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations as a demonstration of their belief in Buddha. They all agreed. Ma Yuan then sincerely sought Master’s help.

His uncle and other relatives around were astonished at his promise and did not believe him, but Ma Yuan told them that they should try. 

Within twenty minutes, Ma Yuan’s mother’s complexion improved, and she expressed a desire to sit up and have a sip of water. Then she had two orange slices and remarked, “I feel like I have awakened from a dream.” The quick improvement and the power of Falun Dafa surprised everyone present.

A year later, on the same day, Ma Yuan’s mother passed away peacefully. Her story left a lasting impression on the whole family.

Another practitioner, Xiao Hua, encountered a challenging situation at work in 1997 after she became the workshop director in her factory. She discovered that most of the workers in this mechanical workshop were openly stealing factory property, including copper shavings, rulers, tapes, screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches.

Recognizing that Falun Dafa could bring about positive changes, Xiao Hua brought a TV to the workshop and played videos of Master’s teachings. After three months, with the workers’ finally understanding the principles of loss and gain and striving to become better individuals, the entire workshop underwent a remarkable transformation.

Yu Mei, a teacher in Hulin City, suffered from various health issues, including uterine fibroids, profuse bleeding, frontal sinusitis, and severe gallbladder infection. When she was ultimately diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in 1998, she lost all hope in living as her family could not afford the medical expenses.

In April 1999, her neighbor suggested she try practicing Falun Dafa. To her amazement, within a week of practicing in the park, Yu Mei experienced a remarkable purification of her body. With her third eye opened, she witnessed Master cleansing her body from head to toe, leading to the disappearance of all her ailments. Witnessing Yu Mei’s miraculous recovery, eighteen of her colleagues also began practicing Falun Dafa.

Da Ying, a practitioner from Jidong County, began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997 and witnessed the disappearance of her illnesses soon after. Inspired by her recovery, many of her acquaintances followed suit, and Da Ying opened her home for group Fa study of the Dafa books.

During one winter study session, the practitioners witnessed a surreal scene through a plastic sheet covering the window. They observed cows and rabbits grazing, cranes and ducks playing, lions, a magnificent pine tree, and a person carrying water on a mountain. This extraordinary sight continued throughout the entire winter. Within a year, over 100 people in the area also embraced Falun Dafa.

Ms. Xiang, the vice principal of a private school in Jixi City, had a life-saving encounter when a bus transporting thirty new students lost control. 

Ms. Xiang recalled her Falun Dafa neighbor mentioning some auspicious phrases that could save lives in emergencies but she couldn’t remember them. Instead, she repeated in her heart, “Falun Dafa Master, we are in your hands,” until the bus gradually slowed down and came to a stop in an open field.

Overjoyed and grateful for their safety, Ms. Xiang encouraged the students to thank Master Li for saving them. Later, when sharing the story, Ms. Xiang and many of the students couldn’t help but shed tears of gratitude.

Public Awakening in Jixi

During a dinner gathering, practitioner Xiao Yan found herself seated next to her friend’s husband, a member of the city’s 610 Office, an agency established by the CCP to persecute Falun Dafa. Xiao Yan couldn’t resist sharing her personal transformation through the practice and exposing the CCP’s lies about Falun Dafa. To her surprise, her friend’s husband revealed that many of his colleagues had been reading the Minghui website, a source of truthful information about Falun Dafa. The more they learned, the clearer the truth became to them. In a positive turn, he happily agreed to withdraw from the CCP.

Wen Hua, another practitioner, engaged a private German teacher for her child a few years ago. Intrigued by the profound 5,000-year-old Chinese culture, the German teacher secured a job at Jixi University. However, he soon realized that he was deliberately being mistreated by the university, which didn’t pay him the agreed-upon salary. Furthermore, he faced harassment from the police and university staff due to his Islamic faith.

Curious about the state of China, he talked to Wen Hua, who shared how the CCP had destroyed traditional Chinese culture and how she had been persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa and exposing the CCP’s atrocities. Wen Hua’s personal transformation story piqued his interest in the practice and he asked her to demonstrate the exercise. To his surprise, he felt a powerful energy when he followed her movements, and was compelled to learn Falun Dafa.

In another encounter, a practitioner conversed with a man on the street. As they talked, the man quickly recognized the evil nature of the CCP and decided to quit the Party right then and there. The practitioner also advised him to silently recite the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to receive blessings. However, the man insisted on saying it out loud, proclaiming loudly in the street, “Falun Dafa is good!” and, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

During a conversation at a bus stop, practitioner Zhen Zhi met a young man who immediately expressed his admiration for Falun Dafa upon learning that she was a practitioner. He recounted a personal story in which he had appealed to the government multiple times due to an injustice his family had faced. During one of his appeals, he was arrested and detained with four Falun Dafa practitioners. He recalled that despite the offer of release if they renounced their faith, none of the practitioners wavered, and none would renounce their belief. The young man expressed his admiration for their steadfastness and gladly quit the CCP organization he’d joined before.
