(Clearwisdom.net) Since the day I was born I have had all kinds of diseases (I did not realize then that it was due to my karma), and I couldn't live without medicine. When I started school, my intellect seemed below that of other children my age, but my grades were average. Although my classmates did not like to play with me and even called me a "blockhead," I did not hate them. As I grew up, I started to wonder why people lived in this world and why I was like this.
Before July 20, 1999, my parents and I started to practice Falun Gong. Everything in my life experienced a qualitative change. After I read the first page of Zhuan Falun, I felt a huge force compelling me to keep on reading. I understood the truth of the universe. I started to practice Dafa, following my parents. No matter how intense the study was, I would not forget to study the Fa and practice the exercises. In the morning, while other people were still sleeping, I would do the exercises. Therefore, Teacher began to open my wisdom for me and eliminated a lot of my karma, making my diseases disappear. During one episode of karma elimination, I felt something drop out of my ear, although I could not see it. Afterward, my grades started to improve dramatically and my classmates came to admire me.
In my second year of practicing Dafa, I started to learn to play the violin. Originally clumsy, I learned to play the violin very well. All the teachers said that I should have started to learn the violin earlier. But my performance surprised them, and they said that I must have had talent or that I must have received special training. But only I, myself, knew that it was not due to my own ability alone. After two years of studying the violin, I passed the class. These are all abilities that Teacher gave to me.
Later, Jiang Zemin and his gang started to persecute Dafa and Teacher. My time was also becoming limited, but I was still diligent, following my parents. I sent forth righteous thoughts exactly on time. Even if I was walking or in class, I would not forget to do it. Sometimes I posted truth clarifying materials with my parents. Maybe these activities were trivial, but I was very persistent. I always remembered the three things Teacher asked us to do: To cultivate diligently by studying the Fa; to send righteous thoughts; and to clarify the truth, saving sentient beings. In class, when my teacher slandered Master and Dafa, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil behind him and the teacher quickly changed the topic.
Also, my grades became outstanding. I got the best score in two subjects, and I became a totally different person than I was before practicing Dafa. Classmates came to respect me, because in small conflicts I would follow Dafa's requirements and not fight with them, and I would just smile. Actually, I also told them that Falun Dafa is good and that Master teaches people to be good and that my achievements were the result of my practicing Dafa. Later I passed three top classes in violin in two years. This year I participated in three violin exams, passed two top colleges classes and also represented my province in a state contest in which I got second prize.
Standing in that arena far from home as a representative from my province, I deeply felt it was an opportunity that Teacher gave to me, to let me reach this level in five years that other people might need 10 years to achieve. Because my righteous thoughts came out and I could think of myself as a Dafa disciple, my nervousness disappeared, and the force of Dafa dissolved into the violin and captivated everyone. Because my xinxing is limited, I can only validate Dafa using my achievements and show people the divinity of Dafa in my life.
