(Minghui.org) In the spring of 1997, someone recommended three Falun Dafa books: Zhuan Falun, Zhuan Falun Vol. II, and Explaining the Principles of Falun Dafa. He said his son brought them back from college, but he hadn’t read them so he lent them to me.
As I continually read Zhuan Falun, I found that my worldview underwent a profound transformation. In my life and work, I began holding myself to the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and started my journey to become a better person and true cultivator.
At the time, I worked at a gas station affiliated with a local oil refinery. It was common for employees to shortchange customers, overcharge, and engage in unethical practices. Every staff member at the gas station did this. However, after reading Zhuan Falun and understanding the principles of gain and loss as taught in Falun Dafa, I no longer wanted to engage in such behavior.
I disciplined myself, and refrained from such actions. I achieved the mindset advocated in Zhuan Falun of fair trade and keeping one’s heart righteous. Because I stopped doing wrong things, my heart felt light and happy.
The company eventually discovered these unethical behaviors that were harming customers and decided to lay off employees. The day the layoffs happened, I was handling payments, issuing invoices, and managing accounts. I noticed a shortage of fifty yuan. After checking multiple times, the shortage couldn’t be accounted for. The station manager said, “Just let it go, don’t bother looking further.”
But I insisted, “No, I might have let it go in the past, but now I practice Falun Dafa, and I’m required to be honest. Falun Dafa teaches us to be good people and follow Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. If I can’t find the money by the end of the day, I will make up for the shortage.” I then went to the cafe for lunch.
When I arrived, I saw the chef and suddenly remembered he had taken fifty yuan from me earlier that day when he went out to buy vegetables. I had forgotten about it. Afterward, I informed the station manager that I had found the fifty yuan; the chef had taken it to buy vegetables. The station manager laughed when he heard this.
At the end of the day, all the employees were dismissed and sent home. The station manager called me into his office and said, “I don’t want to keep any other employees. Come back in a few days; I’ll only keep you, my old employee.”
I once fell off my motorcycle during a regular commute, resulting in a dislocated and fractured right wrist. There was a lump at the wrist where the bone was dislocated. When I returned home that evening, my wrist was so painful that I could not move it. I kept pacing back and forth to alleviate the pain. After dinner, my wife insisted on taking me to see an orthopedic doctor. When we arrived, the doctor wasn’t there.
Back home, the pain was unbearable. My wife, who doesn’t practice Falun Dafa, said, “Practice your exercises. Don’t you always say Falun Dafa is capable of resolving anything?”
Her words awakened me, and I thought, “Yes, I’m a practitioner. When I have problems, I should seek solutions from Dafa.” So I began practicing. The pain made it impossible to perform the exercises properly, but I persisted.
When I did the third exercise, “Penetrating the Two Cosmic Extremes,” where energy is guided up and down the arms, the dislocated bone made a series of cracking sounds, intensifying the pain.
I slowed down to reduce the discomfort. When I did the exercise the third time, I inadvertently relaxed my main consciousness and heard a clicking sound. My wrist then suddenly felt comfortable and pain free. It was miraculously healed!
Overwhelmed with excitement, tears of gratitude filled my eyes, and there was only one sentence in my heart: “Practicing Falun Dafa is truly wonderful!”
