Minghui Started Me on My Path of Cultivation

(Minghui.org) My coworker gave me software to bypass the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Internet firewall in 2008. I was able to log onto Minghui.org and read a number of the Minghui publications, and I was moved to tears. I realized something earth-shattering was happening in the world.

That was how I started to practice Falun Dafa. If I had not read the Minghui website, I would still be living my routine life and not know certain historic events that were happening in the world. The CCP really restricts people’s access to truthful reporting.

I couldn’t find any practitioners or Falun Dafa books, so I downloaded Master’s books and articles and the exercise music from Minghui and began to do the exercises by looking at the books.

I’d had cervical (neck) pain for many years, but when I meditated, I felt a strong surge of energy opening my cervical and thoracic vertebrae. I felt great! I couldn’t stop my tears from flowing. Dafa is great! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dafa!

As I continued to practice Dafa, my ailing body started to improve. The headaches and tinnitus (ringing in my ears) that bothered me for decades gradually went away.

As soon as I began to practice Falun Dafa, tribulations followed, mostly at home. My husband was so frightened that the CCP would persecute him because I was practicing that he divorced me. It was heartwrenching to part with my son, who was in elementary school at the time.

When my life and feelings were challenged, I thought of the many practitioners who’ve been persecuted, tortured, killed, had their organs harvested while they were alive, or lost their family members but did not give up. I knew I must not give up either.

I firmly believe that everything Master says is the truth, so no matter what happens to me, I will never stop practicing.

I moved to an old house and began my “path of solitary cultivation.” I had some computer knowledge from work, so I began to make truth-clarification materials, turning my home into a material production site. Even though he was young, my son helped me by maintaining the printer.

I read Minghui every day for more than a year. I distributed the truth-clarification materials I made and clarified the truth to every one of my coworkers and retired coworkers.

I didn’t dare to speak to the leadership in person, so I slipped a CD into their doorway. Later, I ran into another practitioner when I was clarifying the truth, and we began contacting each other.

The more practitioners I had contact with, the more materials were needed. In the years that followed, I provided whatever kinds of materials practitioners needed and however many they needed, because I knew it was very difficult for other practitioners to make them.

About 10 years passed, and my savings had dwindled to only 40,000 yuan. I wondered if I should get a job or switch from producing materials to going out to clarify the truth face-to-face.

I asked Master for guidance, and Master put the words “Take the Middle Way” in my mind. I immediately found the article “Take the Middle Way” and read it, and I understood what to do. I made fewer materials and went out to clarify the truth in person.

It was easier said than done.

I went with about five practitioners to a remote area to clarify the truth. We left at 7 a.m. and returned home at 7 p.m. We walked a lot, and everyone brought a lot of materials.

We made trips like that every two or three days. I was able to read one or two lectures each day, but I wasn’t able to keep up with the exercises because I was so exhausted after each trip that I had to rest for two days. I later realized I was tired because I didn’t keep up with the exercises. This went on for about a year.

Slowly, I became a “technical practitioner,” repairing printers, making books, making CDs, making USB flash drives, loading TF cards, and so on. I assumed this responsibility because the older practitioners weren’t ready to. Things are different nowadays. Material sites are everywhere and almost all practitioners have basic truth-clarification materials.

I often carry Dafa informational materials with me to distribute in high-rise buildings. I can easily give out 100 copies in a single section of a 30-story building. I sometimes feel the reason that high-rise buildings are being built one after another non-stop is because we will be distributing materials in them!

One day, I covered a six-story building with four sections and found myself out of breath. My cultivation was progressing very slowly. I read online how another practitioner overcame the obstacle of fatigue. I wish I could do the same.

I hope practitioners will take advantage of the favorable conditions of these high-rise buildings to distribute truth-clarification periodicals in large quantities. If we place them on door handles, people will see them and read them.

Obtaining the Fa is an incomparable blessing and a supreme honor. If I did not practice Falun Dafa, how would I know there are gods and Buddhas in the world, how would I know that the vast universe is filled with lives, and how would I know that all the misfortunes and illnesses people encounter are due to karma?

In its attempt to destroy the essence of 5,000 years of Chinese culture and to poison all living beings, the CCP has instilled into us so many bad things: atheism, the theory of evolution, and this ideology and that doctrine. The Party media has spread lies all over the world to discredit Dafa and filled people’s minds with wrong information.

Sometimes when I hand people a pamphlet, they say, “If it is about Falun Dafa, I don’t want it.” Some throw it away. Others curse me, saying, “Who’s paying you? Why are you doing this?”

It’s hard to clean these toxins out of people’s minds and wake them up. Some people don’t dare to quit the CCP and its youth organizations even after I clarify the truth to them several times.

A coworker went on three business trips with me. Each time I clarified the truth to him for two hours, but he did not quit the CCP until his son bypassed the Internet firewall and watched the news.

One neighbor hardly ever talked to me. Over the years I tried to give him materials and CDs, but he refused to take them. I left truth-clarifying periodicals on his door handle. He threw them away the first two times. The third time, he read a flier and then put it on the bulletin board at his doorway. I later put periodicals on his door, and he did not throw them away.

A sister in my hometown was the only one who did not quit the CCP. She said, “I’m a good person. What’s the point of quitting the CCP? I’m not quitting.”

Then there was a disaster. I called her first thing in the morning and said, “Did you see the news? I didn’t sleep all night. So many people died!” She said, “I’m quitting the Youth League and the Young Pioneers.” She became very supportive of me. Since then, her family had had good luck and her life went well.

I had a coworker who disliked me, but I couldn’t leave her out. I sent her the electronic version of the materials, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Shen Yun, movies, and news videos. After a while, I told her how millions of Chinese are withdrawing from the CCP. She said, “I’ve watched everything you sent me.”

Her husband was in senior management in our organization, so she said she wouldn’t withdraw from the CCP. After she retired, I ran into her one day. As soon as I mentioned withdrawing, she agreed to quit. I gave her a USB flash drive and suggested she look at it at home.

Everyone has his or her own path of cultivation and his or her own enlightenment in Dafa. In my understanding, no matter how we do or what we do, as long as we follow Master’s requirements, there will be no problem.

Thank you, benevolent Master! Thank you, my fellow practitioners, for your years of companionship and cooperation! Thank you, Minghui, for exposing the persecution, providing information, and giving us practitioners in China such strong support! And thank you, practitioners outside China, who run the media!

We have formed an indestructible one-body to awaken all people during these natural and man-made disasters!
