China Fahui | A Young Practitioner Is Determined To Practice Falun Dafa

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

I am eighteen years old, and under Master’s compassionate guidance I have gradually began practicing Falun Dafa. I feel not only fortunate, but truly blessed to have encountered Falun Dafa during the final stage of the Fa-rectification period.

I would like to take this precious opportunity—the 23rd China Fa Conference on Minghui to tell you about some of my experiences since I began practicing Falun Dafa. Please point out any shortcomings.

Blessed to Find Falun Dafa

Both my parents work, and I was raised by my grandparents until I entered high school. My grandparents loved and cherished me dearly, yet they never spoiled me. They instead taught me through both their words and personal conduct, which had a profound influence on my upbringing. They were in good health, enjoyed a harmonious family life, and were always cheerful. During the day, after finishing their household chores, they would read books, and in the evening, they practiced their exercises. By the time I learned to read, I noticed that the book they were reading was Zhuan Falun and I gradually realized that they were practicing Falun Dafa.

In school, I was constantly exposed to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) defamatory propaganda against Falun Dafa—in particular, the staged “Tiananmen Square self-immolation” incident, which left a deep impression on many people. However, I knew it was a hoax—a state-orchestrated crime staged by the CCP to deceive and hoodwink the public.

After entering high school I sought to learn more about Falun Dafa. At my grandparents’ home I watched videos of Master’s lectures, which answered many questions I had long pondered but could not resolve. I learned where human beings come from and where they go, and that the true purpose of human existence is to return to one’s original, true self. I realized how I should conduct myself from then on, and not continue being muddle-headed.

The environment at my school was terrible, and the academic pressure during high school was intense. I had no time to study the Fa or practice the exercises. I made the most of my school breaks, and once I finished my holiday assignments I would memorized Zhuan Falun and Master’s new articles. This laid a solid foundation for my subsequent cultivation.

In my daily life, I held myself to Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I treated others with kindness, always considered their needs, and was happy to help my classmates whenever they needed it—so I got along very well with them. I also gradually broke away from bad habits, such as a fondness for soft drinks, snacks, and excessive use of my mobile phone, replacing them with a healthy lifestyle. Master purified my body, and I am now in excellent health. Practicing Dafa is truly wonderful!

Tests

My parents did not know that I practiced Falun Dafa. I returned home one weekend in the spring of 2025, and while tidying up my bag, my parents discovered a copy of Zhuan Falun that I had transcribed by hand. They were shocked and extremely angry, demanding to know what it was all about. I didn’t know what to say and I was afraid.

My parents work within the state system. Although they have withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, they remain deeply poisoned by the CCP’s malicious propaganda that slanders Falun Dafa. Consequently, they are highly resistant to Falun Dafa and do not want me to practice. They confiscated the copy of Zhuan Falun that I transcribed by hand, forbade me from using my mobile phone to bypass internet censorship, and repeatedly pressured me to abandon my faith.

Seeing that I remained unmoved and would not listen, my parents made a big scene. They said disrespectful things about Master and Dafa, and this went on for a long time. I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the negative things in other dimensions that were manipulating my mother and causing her to be disrespectful toward Master and the Fa. Her behavior improved somewhat, yet she continued to prevent me from maintaining contact with my grandparents. Persisting in my spiritual practice within such a long-term, oppressive environment has been incredibly difficult. This was the first major tribulation I encountered since I began practicing.

Because I am still relatively new to the practice and have yet to gain a deep understanding of the principles of Dafa, I was initially unsure how to handle this situation. Nevertheless, I did not give up. Whenever I had the chance, I would repeatedly recite Zhuan Falun, On Dafa, and Master’s recent articles. Far from wavering, my determination to continue on this path of cultivation has only grown stronger.

In April this year, I placed handwritten materials containing the facts about Falun Dafa in various locations around the school campus, hoping that more teachers and students would see them. However, I was discovered and reported, and the school administration brought the matter to the attention of my homeroom teacher. My teacher summoned my parents to the school to discuss the situation and emphasized its seriousness. My father scolded me harshly yet I did not waver or renounce my faith. Ultimately, my homeroom teacher managed to suppress the issue, and a potential crisis was averted with Master’s help.

I continued my studies at school, preparing for this year’s college entrance examination. My performance was relatively steady, and my score met the threshold for undergraduate admission. However, it fell short of my parents’ expectations, and they were unhappy. My parents want me to excel and hope that I will outperform others. Ever since elementary school they enrolled me in tutoring classes for various subjects, which is why my academic performance has remained consistently stable.

When my parents learned that my exam score was lower than the children of some of their acquaintances, they could not take it. My mother, in particular, began venting her anger on me, creating a scene, and even claimed that my Falun Dafa practice had negatively affected my academic performance.

My mother became even more agitated, and even cried out and threatened to jump from the building to force me to give up practicing Dafa. I remained unmoved and I calmly sent forth righteous thoughts, “Eliminate and completely disintegrate all the malevolent elements of the CCP in other dimensions that are manipulating my mother to harbor wicked thoughts toward Master and Dafa. I negate all the arrangements made by the old forces. I absolutely will not permit this to destroy my mother.” As soon as my righteous thoughts came out, my mother’s tone softened considerably.

I reasoned with her, “Saying things that are disrespectful of Master and Dafa is harmful—both to you and to me.” I avoided using harsh language. I added, “Since I began practicing, I’ve shed many bad habits, and I study diligently. I’m now more disciplined and have improved my character. You’ve seen these changes. How could this possibly be a bad thing? In the future, I will have even greater respect and care for you and father. If it weren’t for this unprecedented persecution orchestrated by the evil CCP, would you be living in such constant fear? It is all a direct result of the Party’s persecution.” Hearing this, my mother calmed down. In a pleading tone, she said, “I worried myself sick over you—my hair is falling out in great clumps. I’m begging you—please, think of your father and me, and think of the generations to come.”

I quoted Master’s words:

“The universe is fair. Those who do good are blessed for it, while those who do wrong will face payback—if not in this life, then in the next. For this is an immutable law of the universe!”

“The reason some people lead happy lives and others do not all comes down to rewards and retributions for past deeds.”

“So things are not as simple as people take them to be. Should people expect higher beings to give them whatever they pray for? The prerequisite is that one has to have built up the blessings and virtue for it over past lifetimes.” (How Humankind Came to Be)

I asked, “Why did you threaten to jump from a building to pressure me?” My mother replied, “I’m not pressuring you—I’m doing this for your own good!” Seeing that I was absolutely determined not to give up my spiritual practice, she said, “It seems my words were in vain; I cannot persuade you!” She then got up and went to attend to other matters. Thus this intense confrontation between righteousness and evil ended. She gradually calmed down and her mood improved significantly. Through this experience, my resolve to practice Dafa became even firmer.

I came to realize that the strong resistance my mother showed toward my practice served as a major test—a way for Master to temper my diamond-like will on the path of cultivation. Although the experience was agonizing, it helped me get rid of my attachments to emotion and the bond between mother and child. These were, in fact, positive developments on my path of cultivation. Master was using this to help me become more mature in cultivation.

Practicing Falun Dafa is the most significant and correct choice I have ever made in my life. Although I’m only at the beginning of this journey, I have no regrets whatsoever. I know that I still fall far short of the standards set by Master and the requirements of Dafa, but I will forge ahead with great diligence. I will cultivate myself earnestly, striving to become a Falun Dafa practitioner who is selfless, and puts others before oneself so that I may fulfill the mission for which I came into this world.
