(Clearwisdom.net) I began Falun Dafa practice in November 1998, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution against Dafa shortly afterward. Because I had not studied the Fa well, I gave up cultivating under pressure from family members. Nevertheless, Master often gave me hints in my dreams. I remember Master looked at me seriously once and said I should not give up cultivation -that I should walk my own path. From July 20, 1999 to 2003, Master never gave up on me. He reminded me many times in my dreams, yet I did not come back to Dafa. My enlightenment was really too low at the time.
Once I said to my wife, "This is unbelievable. I have not cultivated for a long time. Why does Master always remind me in my dreams? I am starting to believe in Master, and believe that Master is taking care of me. I want to start cultivation again."
One day in 2003 I ran into a fellow practitioner in the grocery market. She asked me if I was still cultivating. I said no. She spoke soberly with me, "How could you give up? Master’s Fa-rectification will soon reach the human world! Hurry up and cultivate." Her words shocked me. I went to visit a fellow practitioner that afternoon and asked her to give me Master’s new lectures from the past years. I started studying the Fa that night. Since I had stopped practicing for too long, I could not even remember how to do the exercises. That night, in my dream, Master taught me the exercises. I do not know what words can express my appreciation to our Master.
When I first ventured out to validate Dafa I did not know what to do. Thanks to Master’s protection and fellow practitioners’ help, I soon joined in with the Fa validation. At first I was quite afraid. I even felt afraid when going to get a "Minghui Weekly" from another practitioner. Once when distributing truth clarification materials I left many materials on the roadside. I wanted to offer people salvation, yet I did not know how. By studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts and sharing with practitioners, I did better and better.
One day on my way to a practitioner’s home I remembered Master’s words,
"We do not require directions, either, because the whole universe is in motion. The Milky Way is in motion, and the nine planets are orbiting the sun. Earth is also self-rotating. We practice according to this great principle of the universe. Where is east, south, west, or north? There is none." ("Lecture One" from Zhuan Falun, 2000 translation version)
All of a sudden I realized there is nothing I should be afraid of. There are so many people on the street. No one knows I practice Falun Gong. I should not be afraid, rather the evil should be afraid! I must assist Master in the human world, offer more people salvation and fulfill my prehistoric oath.
Since then I have begun to clarify the truth about Dafa to relatives and friends. I helped transfer truth clarifying materials and did other work validating Dafa. When Minghui/Clearwisdom suggested to build more small truth clarification materials production centers I started making materials myself. Though there have been interferences, I believe Master is always with me and protects me. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Dear fellow practitioners: Let’s all cultivate diligently. I truly hope other former practitioners who gave up cultivation return to cultivation as soon as possible. Master is waiting for us, yet the opportunities are fewer and fewer! Please make the right choice for yourselves.
Please kindly point out any mistakes.
