A Story that Reflects the Goodness Of Dafa

(Minghui.org) Since I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, I have been cultivating in accordance with the Dafa principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. I consistently help others in various situations, allowing them to experience the goodness of Dafa.

Twenty years ago, my husband and I sold pineapples from a truck. We would peel the pineapples and sell them for five yuan each. One afternoon, a woman in her forties chose an unpeeled pineapple and handed me five yuan. As I handed her the fruit, she asked me for five yuan in change, believing that she had given me a ten yuan bill. People make mistakes sometimes. As a Dafa disciple, I did not argue and immediately gave her the money even though she had only given me five yuan. A moment later, the woman returned, embarrassed. She said that she had paid the barber five yuan for her son’s haircut earlier. She apologized and returned the money.

Due to this incident, this woman has brought many people to listen to the facts over the past 20 years.

A few days ago, an unhappy tall man came to my shop carrying bags filled with vegetables at various sizes. As he browsed the grapes, I gently suggested that the crisp and sweet blueberry grapes were perfect for kids, while the juicy Kyoho grapes were good for the elderly. His expression suddenly changed. He picked up two different fruits that I had recommended for the elderly, in addition to the Kyoho grapes. Thoughtfully, I placed his vegetable bags into a larger bag according to their softness free of charge. As he left, he glanced at me several times from a distance.

A few days later, another customer thanked me for thoughtfully selecting fruits for his family. I explained that as a Dafa practitioner, I am simply following what Master wants his disciples to do. He said, “No wonder you are so kind. People as kind as you practitioners these days are few and far in between!”

I always offer large plastic bags to people passing by my shop who were carrying many items. I also help them reorganize their belongings for easy carrying. At the same time, I would clarify the truth to them and also tell them to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Our market had only one restroom tucked away in a hard-to-find corner. I always made sure to clearly explain its location. I would also clarify the truth to those who were not in a hurry. For the elderly, I often took them to the spot from where the facility could be seen. Regular customers always knew where I was if I was not in the shop.

One day at noon, an old woman from a nearby village hurried over to me and asked for directions to the restroom. I took her to the facility. Afterwards, she thanked me for the help. She then inquired about the price of the lower-grade fruits that I sorted out and sold at a discount price. I helped her pick the better ones in the stand and advised her to consume them soon. When she considered other discounted fruits that needed to be eaten immediately, I asked if her family could finish all the fruit she had already bought in time. I also reminded her to make sure she could carry the extra fruit.

Knowing that I was a practitioner, she said that she was not surprised by my kindness. As I tried to clarify the truth, she explained that she already knew the facts and that another practitioner had helped her quit the CCP. I encouraged her to recite the nine blessing words when she could, and she agreed.

Many thanks to great Master for his compassion. We have been able to utilize this small shop as a platform to enlighten people and save sentient beings. I will cultivate diligently to fulfill my historic mission and return home with Master.
