Sharing With a Fellow Practitioner Helped Us Both Improve

(Minghui.org) I went to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to people outside the transit pass bureau, and while there, I ran into a fellow practitioner and greeted her. Although we had never met before, we talked about our cultivation experiences.

She said, “Every time Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) purifies my body, I’m not afraid regardless of how bad it feels. I’m actually happy about it and know that he is taking care of me. I was once bleeding profusely, but I wasn’t scared and kept thanking Master. Every tribulation we encounter in cultivation is a good thing. We should look at them with righteous thoughts and not be afraid.”

She did a good job overcoming her tribulations and had good enlightenment quality, with strong righteous thoughts. She inspired me, and I was very touched. I was going through karma elimination at the time, but my enlightenment quality was poor and my righteous thoughts were not as strong as hers. I was embarrassed. After talking to her, I was determined to firmly believe in Master and the Fa and overcome my tribulations with strong righteous thoughts.

I then told her my stories, and we had a good time sharing our experiences.

I said, “It was raining two days ago, so I stayed home to study the Fa instead of going out to clarify the truth. My son wasn’t home, and my wife took the opportunity to give me a good scolding. She went on for 30 minutes, and I just ignored her. I wasn’t angry because she’s been like this for many years. As long as our son wasn’t home, she would get upset and yell at me. She’d throw my clothes, face towel, and the vegetables I bought on the floor. I’d ignore her and pretend nothing happened. I’m used to this, and I just think about Master’s words.”

Master said:

“...it’s just like checking into a hotel for a few days. Then I leave in a hurry.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)

“...in the most complicated environment can one cultivate high-level gong...” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)

I continued, “She was scolding me non-stop, so I asked her with a smile, ‘What should I do to stop you from getting angry at me? Give me some suggestions, and I’ll do anything to please you. Our home atmosphere changed for the better in the past few years since our son asked me to move in with the two of you. Everything is going smoothly, and we are a happy family. You should cherish it!’ After hearing this, my wife ran into my bedroom, grabbed the cellphone on my bed, and was about to hit me with it. I kept smiling and said, ‘Go ahead. Slap me a few times, but I won’t get mad. I’ll thank you instead.’”

After hearing my story, the practitioner replied, “You did a great job! I can’t stand it when my husband scolds me. As a result, my legs hurt when I cross them in the lotus position to meditate in the evening. I must learn to forbear. Thank you so much for your help!”

I said to her, “I should be the one thanking you. You’ve done well in overcoming karma elimination. Your experience is helping me.”

We ran into each other two days later. She said, “My husband scolded me yesterday, and I was able to forbear. I then realized my legs didn’t hurt when I did the meditation in the evening.”

I replied, “I’m happy for you. I went out of town yesterday to clarify the truth, and I helped more than a dozen people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 90 minutes. It went so smoothly, and I’ve never been able to help so many people quit so quickly. I realized Master sent you to help me.” She said, “I too, thought Master sent you to help me!”

Thank you compassionate Master! I will never forget Master’s kindness, and I won’t let Him down. I will do the three things well and fulfill my vow, get rid of my bad notions, be selfless and compassionate, and strive forward vigorously.
