(Minghui.org) My name is Chichi. I am a third-grade elementary school student. This is my first time writing my experiences.
I was just over two years old when I started learning the Fa. I could not read at that time, so my mother had to help me. But she also helped with a project to make truth-clarification phone calls. After we had studied for a while one day, my mother said, “Let’s stop here.” I did not respond, so we had to continue studying. After a while, my mother said, “Okay, I’m going to make truth-clarifying phone calls.” I cried anxiously and said, “I want to learn more! I want to learn more!” My mother had no choice but to continue studying with me. With my mother helping me study the Fa, I felt very happy.
I was walking home after an English class at about 6 p.m. on August 13 this year, when a woman riding a motorcycle knocked me to the ground as I was crossing the road. She immediately got off her motorcycle and asked me, “Are you okay? Do you need to be taken to the hospital?” I said, “No, I’m okay.” At this time, passersby started scolding the woman. One said he had called the police, and another said that her dash-cam had recorded the accident.
A police officer arrived soon after my mother arrived. The officer asked me a lot of questions, took my statement, then went to the side with the paperwork. At this time, my mother said to the woman, “We are Falun Gong practitioners. Our Master taught us to be good people according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and to be considerate. Don’t worry, we won’t cause you any trouble.” The woman kept thanking her. My mother also clarified the truth to the police officer. Afterward, my mother shared with me that the woman and the officer were there, destined to hear the truth.
I was hit hard, and my knees were bleeding and I wanted to cry, but then I thought, “I can’t cry, because if I do the woman will get nervous.” So I held back my tears.
Master said:
“We have said that good or bad comes from a person’s initial thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
My mental state improved after I got home, and I soon became talkative and cheerful again. My father said, “It is because Master protected you that you can jump and play so quickly [after an accident]. Go kowtow to Master.” My mother and I kowtowed to Master, thanking Master for his compassion and salvation of me. Master eliminated a large portion of my karma. Thank you, Master!
The origami lotus pendants have the words “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” on them. I have not stopped giving little lotus flowers to people since I was very small. Even if I only met someone once, I liked to bring the beauty of Dafa to them. I have given the pendants to kindergarten teachers and classmates, elementary school teachers and classmates, and passersby. Whenever I meet someone, I give them a little lotus flower.
I gave little lotus flowers to three kindergarten teachers. One of them hung the pendant on a computer, and the others hung it on their bags. They all hung them in very conspicuous places.
When I gave the little lotus to my second grade teacher, although the teacher did not accept it, I was very happy when the teacher read the nine words, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
I wanted to give a little lotus to a classmate once, and when she saw the little lotus in my hand she was very happy. Most people have accepted the little lotuses I have offered to them. Handing out little lotuses makes me feel very happy.
I took my elder brother’s ballpoint pen. When my brother found out that his pen was missing, he thought I had taken it. I denied it, so my brother complained to my mother. My mother believed me, and I gloated over my brother’s misfortune.
I felt hungry, so I went to find something to eat. I took one step and fell down. I was okay and it didn’t hurt, so I stood up, took two steps, and fell down again. I wondered what was happening, I then took two more steps and fell down again. I then knew I was wrong, and I shouldn’t take my brother’s things. What I did went against Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I will eliminate the attachment of lying in the future.
I started going to the park with my mother to practice Falun Gong every Sunday when I was in second grade. To do so I had to get up at around 4 a.m. I could hold on the first three times, but I fell asleep the fourth time. I felt very sleepy after getting up in the morning, but I wanted to study the Fa, practice the exercises, and share cultivation experiences with other practitioners.
I remember when I started to study the Fa in the morning, I fell asleep after reading a paragraph. My mother later told me that I should not sleep while studying the Fa, as it was disrespectful to the Fa. If I felt very sleepy, I should stand up and she would stand with me. I didn’t want to stand because I felt standing during study was weird. My mother asked me to hold the book in my hand while reading the Fa. I agreed, and that’s how I overcame the barrier of sleeping while reading the Fa. Sometimes I still fall asleep occasionally, but I believe I can definitely overcome sleepiness. I am grateful to Master for helping me get rid of the demon of sleepiness.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
