A Young Practitioner’s Cultivation Experiences

(Minghui.org) Greetings, Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I’m ten years old and I’d like to tell you about my cultivation experiences.

I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2018 with my mom when I was three years old. I was diligent, and I memorized and recited many of Master’s poems including Hong Yin volumes I, II and III. I had many amazing dreams. For example, I once dreamed of a gigantic, shining golden Falun boat. It had a huge golden clock that was ticking every second, and the sound was awakening. I told my parents about that dream while they were talking about housing, jobs and many ordinary things. My mom said that Master might be reminding our family that we don’t have much time to save people.

As a result, our family began focusing more on studying Fa with other practitioners and discussing projects we could do to help save people in our area. We started registering for booths at local markets and festivals, where we made origami lotus flowers with children and clarified the truth about the persecution to visitors. Over time, more people in our area and neighboring towns learned about Falun Dafa, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa in China and the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.

Attachment to Cute Things and Breaking Through Friendship Conflicts

I started primary school and made new friends. I became attached to cute things and spend a lot of time drawing and collecting them, which made me less diligent in my cultivation. I realized these were attachments and I tried to get them off my mind. It was hard to stay focused because my best friend kept showing me pictures and even bought me a lot of cute stuff.

I tried to clear everything out by reciting what Master taught:

“You cannot bring these things along with you at birth, or carry them away with you after death.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

Now, instead of concentrating on ordinary material things, I bring handmade lotus flowers to school as little gifts for my friends and teachers, encouraging them to remember the two phrases: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Breaking through conflicts was extremely difficult for me. One girl liked playing with me, but sometimes she would get overly excited and end up hurting me. For example she would punch me or even grab my neck tightly. The first time she did this I even cried.

I chose not to react. Our other friends were angry and asked why I didn’t fight back. I explained that I was trying to practice the message on the lotus flowers I gave them, especially kindness (compassion) and patience (forbearance). I believe that one day they will understand how important the three core values of Falun Dafa are.

Developing a Channel on the Ganjing World Platform

Our family traveled many places near our home to raise awareness of the CCP’s persecution and call for an end of the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting in China. I asked my parents and other practitioners to help me film some videos to post on my Ganjing World (GJW) channel. I did well the first two years, but then I left the channel unattended and did not post anything. Mum started reminding me to update my channel, but I did not listen. Eventually I felt motivated to restart my channel, however it was quite hard because I had not cared for it in such a long time.

I started working on my channel diligently and tried many times to introduce my GJW channel to my teacher and classmates. This year, my teacher played my videos on the projector for our class. At first, I felt embarrassed with my classmates, but then I reminded myself that whoever visited GJW platform would has more chance to be saved. Recently, my close friend told me that her older brother started following my GJW channel. I’m happy to see my GJW channel gaining more followers each day. This means that more people are looking at the platform and have more chances to be saved.

Doing the Exercises Properly

While my mum and I practiced Exercise 1, during doing Overlapping the Hands in Front of the Lower Abdomen (Diekou Xiaofu), I saw two elegant, translucent dragons that were outlined in gold trace along my mum’s body. But when her elbows dropped, they disappeared. After we finished Exercise 1, I told my mom what I saw. At first, she did not say anything, but after spending many hours looking inward she realized that in recent years she hadn’t followed exactly what Master taught us:

“During the exercises you have to hold the elbows out. We emphasize this with good reason: If the underarms are not open, energy will be blocked and unable to flow through.” (The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection)

After that, I took some time to reflect and realized that I also hadn’t been practicing the exercises properly. During the exercises, my mind was not focused and I kept thinking about many different things, and random thoughts popped into my head. Master always reminds us from the beginning of Exercise 1:

“Shenshen Heyi (The Mind and Body Join Together) and Dongjing Suiji “(Move or Become Still According to the Energy Mechanisms). (The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection)

Now, our family members remind each other to do all the exercises correctly by following Master’s instructions from the audio tapes or online videos.

In the future, I will strive to do my best, do the three things and return home with Master.

These are my personal understandings and experiences. Please kindly point out anything that does not align with Dafa.

Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
