Helping People Understand the Facts about Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I am 70 years old and began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. The following is my cultivation experience in doing the three things well.

Before the floods arrived in Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, an elderly man came to our city to stay with his eldest son. I talked to him about Dafa and said that by reciting the phrases “Falun Dafa is wonderful!” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful,” one could escape danger.

Later he came by my vendor stand, and I asked him, “Uncle, was there flooding in your hometown?” He told me that his house had collapsed due to the flooding. “How did you manage to escape?” I asked.

He replied, “It was announced in the village that people must evacuate quickly. I recited the phrases you gave me. It really worked! I kept reciting them deep down in my mind.”

I said, “This is Buddha-law. It’s because you learned the truth that Master protected you.” I asked him, “Where did the villagers go?”

He replied, “The village cadres put everyone in a school. There were over 1,000 people in that school. Each of us was only given two packs of instant noodles a day, which wasn’t enough to fill our stomachs. After a couple of days, the village cadre asked me why I didn’t stay with my other son, as my younger son brought me here.”

While we were talking, another elderly man came. They knew each other, as they came from the same village. He also came here to escape the floods. This elderly man was 74. I told him, “Please remember the phrases ‘Falun Dafa is wonderful, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful.' Then gods and Buddhas will protect you.

The first man, whom I had previously told the phrases added, “That’s true! I recited them, and it really worked.”

I asked the second man if he had joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or its youth organizations. He had not joined the CCP, but had joined the Youth League and the Young Pioneers. “Would you like to quit them if I give you a pseudonym?” I asked. “The Party is extremely terrible. It persecutes good people who practice Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. When calamity comes it targets the Party. Only by quitting the CCP and its youth organizations can one be safe, and be protected by gods and Buddha.” He agreed.

I gave him a copy of Master’s article “How Humankind Came To Be” and a Dafa amulet. He took them from me with both hands and said that he would look at them when he gets home.

Studying More Fa and Studying It Well

In the beginning there were only two practitioners in our Fa study group, and we studied the Fa every day. But after an hour, Ms. Yang had to leave. She was so busy. After she got home, she was really tied up with work. While doing her work, she recited the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts. When walking on the street, she clarified the facts to people, and put up truth-clarification sticky notes.

I usually get up at 3 a.m. and start doing the exercises at 3:10 a.m. My husband does the exercises with me. I go out to clarify the facts in the morning, and study the Fa in the afternoon. In the evening, I browse the Minghui website, download articles, and upload the list of names of those who quit the CCP. When I cook or eat meals, I listen to the Minghui podcast, and the audio files of Disintegrating the Culture of the Chinese Communist Party, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and The Ultimate Goal of Communism. I also persist in sending righteous thoughts at the four set times. If I miss one, I’d make up for it later.

I read Master’s new lectures including Hong Yin on my own, and have copied Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, six times and recited it another six times. I have also copied most of the Hong Yin’s once. Because Hong Yin V is in traditional Chinese characters, I didn’t copy it for fear of making mistakes.

One afternoon, after I studied the Fa with Ms. Yang and she left, I studied another chapter on my own. When I clarified the facts that morning, I couldn’t help anyone quit the CCP. I asked Master to strengthen me, and bring people with predestined relationships to me. I then headed out again.

I went to my vendor stand where a stranger was sitting in a chair. I thought he must have a predestined relationship with me and was sent to me by Master. I greeted him, and asked, “Have you heard of Falun Dafa?”

He said, “I have seen it written on an one-yuan bill.” I told him it’s for saving people. Whoever gets that money, it would do him good to read it.

I asked if he ever joined the CCP. He said he hadn’t, so I continued, “How about when you went to elementary school. Did you wear the red scarf [of the CCP’s Youth League]?” He told me he did. “Then why don’t you quit, so that you don’t go down along with the Party when it collapses.”

“Sure, I’ll quit it,” he replied. I gave him a pseudonym to quit. I also gave him a copy of “How Humankind Came to Be,” and a Dafa amulet. He told me that after he got there, he didn’t want to move. I’m sure it was because he was waiting for me to tell him the facts about Dafa.

I continued, “I didn’t want to come out today and wasn’t sure why I came. It was because you were waiting to be saved. Thank you Master!” He also thanked Master.

Our Fa study group now has two newcomers—mother and son. When the child came here, he behaved very well. When we read Zhuan Falun, he quietly played over on the side while listening to us. When Ms. Yang had to leave, we continued with our Fa study and read another chapter.

My Husband Makes a Breakthrough Amidst the Persecution

My husband began to practice Falun Dafa a couple of years after me. He could be viewed as being illiterate, as he received a very limited education and didn’t know how to read a lot of words. He is kind, knows that I practice Buddha-law, and that Master came to save people. He thought that Dafa was great and asked me to teach him the exercises.

I told him that in order to practice Dafa, he’d have to give up what he practiced before, as there is “no second cultivation way.” (Lecture Three, Zhuan Falun)

If he really wanted to practice Dafa, then he could no longer practice other qigong. He had practiced it for 20 years and didn’t want to give it up. I told him that cultivating Dafa was serious and it couldn’t be mixed with anything else. He agreed to only cultivate in Dafa. Then he learned the five sets of exercises.

About 60-70 people in our village were practicing Falun Dafa at that time. Every day after dinner, we went out to do the exercises and spread Dafa. In our family, even the children participated in spreading the Fa. We bought Master’s recorded videos and bought a VCR player, so practitioners from the whole village came to my home to watch Master’s videos. Everyone was so happy.

On July 20, 1999, the persecution of Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) was launched by the former CCP leader Jiang Zemin and no one dared to come to my home. People from the village committee and police station told me to hand in my Falun Dafa books, but I refused. They searched my home, but found nothing.

My husband was only in his 40s then, but due the relentless pressure and fear, he became incontinent. I was arrested time and time again for my faith. My family had suffered a lot. My children were so petrified that they didn’t dare to practice Dafa any more, but they knew Master was wronged, Dafa is righteous, and they supported me in practicing Dafa.

People tricked me into getting into their vehicle one day in 2015, claiming that they would take me for a check-up. But I didn’t return home until three and a half years later. During that period of time, my husband did the morning exercises every day. At night, my grandson read Zhuan Falun to him. After I came home, he told me that as soon as he started practicing, he didn’t feel any worries or hardship. I told him that it was Master who strengthened him.

My husband was riding a bicycle, when he accidentally fell into a ditch. He lost mobility in one hand, so he just used the other hand to ride his bicycle home.

My son insisted on taking him to see a doctor, but my husband refused, saying that it happened because he had to pay back a karmic debt. I also said he was fine and was protected by Master. But my son insisted on taking him, so he went. The doctor looked at the x-ray, and said, “He’s fine! It’s just a strained ligament.” The doctor put my husband’s arm in a sling and sent him home.

After he returned home, he didn’t stop working for a moment, and fell asleep after having studied the Fa for a little while. At midnight, he sent forth righteous thoughts as usual. At 3 a.m. I asked if he could do the exercises. He could lift up his arm as best he could, but before he could stretch his left arm to the proper position, his right arm hurt again. I encouraged him by saying, “Since Master sees you are so determined, you’ll make it for sure.” I asked him to recite ‘Falun Dafa is wonderful, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful’ and ask for Master’s help, as he wanted to do the exercises.

At 3:10 a.m., both his arms were fine, and he could do the exercise movements properly. Now, he can also read Zhuan Falun by himself, and sometimes clarifies the facts about Dafa to people. He always carries Dafa amulets in his wallet. Whenever he runs into people with predestined relationships, he talks to them about Dafa, the staged self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square, and gives them an amulet.

Master has saved us. We will do the three things well, study the Fa more, cultivate solidly, clarify the facts to save sentient beings, be qualified Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners and follow Master home.
