Amazing Memories of Attending Master’s Lectures: Master Gave Me a Second Life

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa after I attended Master’s lectures in Hefei City, Anhui Province on April 15, 1994.

Before I practiced I had many illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, moderate atrophic gastritis, gallstones, lobular hyperplasia of the breast, migraine headaches, neurasthenia, arrhythmia, and other ailments. My right arm was paralyzed due to a work accident. I was unhappy and my life was filled with suffering.

In 1990 I began practicing various forms of qigong, seeking a cure for my illnesses, but the results were disappointing. One day when I was meditating, I saw a tall handsome man, but I didn’t know who he was. When I later saw Master’s photo in an article about him in a qigong magazine, I realized he was the man I saw that day. I felt connected to him and that I could trust him.

I later learned that Falun Dafa is an advanced cultivation way of the Buddha school. It teaches people to be truthful, kind, and tolerant. It emphasizes cultivation of one’s xinxing and virtue. It has five gentle exercises and amazing health benefits. This was what I was looking for. I registered to attend the lectures that Master would give in person for the second time in Hefei City, Anhui Province, in April 1994.

I was an accountant and a union clerk in charge of women’s affairs in my company. I rarely asked for personal leave from work, but I applied for 3 days of personal leave to attend the lectures.

Master talked about Falun Dafa’s principles, which were broad and profound. He explained them in a simple and understandable way. I had never heard any of this before, and everything he said touched my heart. I was often moved to tears.

Three days were too short and passed quickly. I had to go back to work, so I wrote down my questions and asked the practitioner who came with Master to give them to him. She urged me to stay and said I would regret it if I left. Yes, I wanted to continue to listen to Master’s profound lectures. But I worried that my coworkers and managers wouldn’t understand. I was faced with a dilemma.

I was surprised when Master answered my questions during the afternoon lecture of my last day there. I was very touched and couldn’t hold back my tears. Even as I write this article, I can’t stop crying. I was very thankful to Master and decided to stay and attend the rest of the classes. This was a significant decision and I benefited so much. Master’s lectures changed my life. I made a deliberate choice, to follow Master until I complete my cultivation journey!

I was happy every day after I went home. I often heard someone call me to get up in the morning. I knew compassionate Master was reminding me to get up and practice the exercises. It was hard for me to bend my legs and place them on top of each other when I meditated because they were swollen due to the rheumatoid arthritis. It hurt so much that my body trembled. My clothes were soaked with sweat, and my feet turned purple. But I always remembered Master’s teaching, “The black substance is karma and can be eliminated through suffering.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun).

I was determined to practice, so I forbore the pain until the music was over. Looking back, I can still feel my pain and suffering. I meditated every day despite the pain. I felt I should be worthy of Master’s salvation!

In the evenings I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises with the other practitioners, and we also talked about our cultivation experiences. One night, when I was turning my palms when I did the first exercise, I felt a surge of heat flow out of my chest. I examined myself after I came home and saw fluid coming out of my breast. The breast hyperplasia had disappeared completely.

All my illnesses were gone soon after I began practicing Falun Dafa. I didn’t spend a penny on medicine or treatments. I changed completely both mentally or physically, and I’m happy every day. Master has given me a second life!

Furthermore, Falun Dafa elevates my moral realm. I consider others first, let go of personal interest, and I’m kind to everyone. I feel I’ve become pure, open-minded, and compassionate. Thank you, Master! No words can express my gratitude!

I heard Master was going to give lectures in Jinan City, Shandong Province, in June of that year. I wanted to go, but due to work I was unable to attend. I asked a local practitioner to pass my experience sharing to Master and report to Master my cultivation progress.

I had a vivid dream one night, in which I saw Master. He patted my right arm. I felt warm, comfortable and the stiffness in my arm was gone. I was very thankful to Master. He adjusted my arm and left. Seeing Master’s tall back, I knelt down on the ground and called out, “Master! Master!” I didn’t want him to leave. Suddenly from far away came Master’s voice: “I will come to see you again!” I cried harder. When I woke up, my pillow was wet with tears.

Looking back at my cultivation path in the past 30 years, every step I walked was under Master’s protection and with his help. Whenever I have hardships or I’m not sure how to handle an issue, I think of Master’s teachings. Master’s compassion, his patience when he gave lectures, and his answers to my questions reinforced my determination to cultivate. With Master and the Fa by my side, I can overcome any tests and hardships.

Master’s saving grace is boundless! Master has given me so much. I must cultivate diligently and keep up with the progress of Fa rectification in the remaining limited time. I only walk on the path Master arranged for me to fulfill my sacred vow, be worthy of the expectations of the sentient beings I’m responsible for, and follow Master to return to my original home.

I spent several days writing this article, and I couldn’t hold back my tears. The days when I was with Master always encourage me to move forward. Master will always be in my heart!
