(Clearwisdom.net) Greetings, great compassionate Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!
I am an under-educated rural farmer's wife. I am answering the call for reports for the Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners from China. I felt anxious about it, as I myself do not know how to write. But in the past few years there have been at least hundreds or even up to a thousand people who have learned the truth about Falun Gong through my truth clarification efforts. I can't even remember them all. I want to write about them, not to validate myself, but to say that Dafa saved so many people. My husband tends to forget whenever he picks up a pen, so he can't help me in writing. I therefore felt more anxious. Thank you Master for arranging fellow practitioners to help me with it.
My husband and I learned Falun Dafa together in 1996. Before that my entire body had many problems: I contracted tracheitis and bronchial tube asthma which then turned into pulmonary emphysema. I took quite a lot of medicine all year round. But since two days after I obtained the Fa, I have not needed any medicine. And little by little, my illnesses all disappeared. It was Master who saved me from a life without hope. Otherwise, I would have passed away a long time ago.
After the evil started the brutal persecution of Dafa on July 20, 1999, my husband and I did not waiver. We kept our book study and exercise practice going as usual. Our group study moved to my home after July 20, 1999. Ever since then, no matter how rampant the evil was, our group study has been steady during the past seven years. Seeing that Master was framed and slandered, and Dafa was undergoing demonic hardship, I often cried. It is Master who saved my life. Dafa saved me, how could I stay at home and do nothing? I wanted to spread the truth about Dafa to sentient beings.
Ever since my husband appealed for Falun Gong in Beijing, the police have come to my home to harass us often. But this didn't affect our decision to validate Dafa. In the beginning, we didn't have truth clarification materials and only relied on word of mouth to tell friends and relatives, people near us, and strangers, the facts. It didn't matter whether we were going to a fair or visiting friends, I wouldn't miss a single chance to tell people the truth about Falun Dafa. I introduced the miraculous and beautiful Dafa with my personal experience.
One day I went to visit my folks, and passing by a village, I saw a dozen people standing in the street. Seeing that I was passing by, one of them said, "Hi, you practice Dafa, don't you? Can you tell us when you are going to levitate into heaven?" I turned back after hearing that, and told them, "Since you asked me today, I am going to tell you about it, and if I can't make you understand, I will not leave!" I then started explaining the truth about the "April 25" incident, and spoke about the staged "Tiananmen Self-immolation Incident." When I heard the poems from the truth clarification materials before, I would memorize them. Now I made use of them. I recited the poem that depicted the self-immolation incident for them.
The group of people really enjoyed the discussion, and applauded unceasingly. I talked over an hour. After all that they said, "Is that so! Now we understand." A retired party secretary wanted to learn the exercises right away.
After Master published the article "Hurry Up And Tell Them," I kept it in my mind,
"As Dafa disciples clarify the truth
Sharp swords shoot forth from their mouths
Tearing open the rotten demons' lies
Lose no time and save them,
hurry up and tell them" ( Hong Yin Volume II, translation version A)
I thought about the pressure to offer salvation to sentient beings, even while I ate and slept. Sometimes I worked the whole morning, and went out to clarify the facts to a few families, then came back home to cook lunch. Many of our local people knew that I practiced Dafa, so on some occasions someone would ask me, "You practice Dafa, tell us the truth." I can feel that Master is opening my wisdom, and no matter how many people were around, I would not panic or be uncertain. I would instead be open and aboveboard, incessantly clarifying the facts. Some people nodded while listening, some smiled like flowers blossoming. I knew that Master arranged for these people to be saved.
One day, I went to a fair to buy vegetable oil. I saw that there were two ladies coming for the oil extraction too. Then I started to figure out how I could tell them the facts. I asked them, "Have you ever learned the facts about Falun Dafa?" They said, "No, have you?" I told them, "Sure, the words are really nice, by reciting 'Falun Dafa is good' often, you'll benefit physically and mentally. If you recite that Falun Dafa is good sincerely and calmly, your life can be saved when disasters are imminent."
After hearing this, they were very happy and asked, "What if I can't remember?" I said, "Someone gave me some bookmarks, I've got two left, you are so lucky, there is one for each of you. Here you go. As long as you believe in Master Li, and believe in Dafa and cite the words on it, you will get good rewards." They accepted the bookmarks joyfully, and one of them said, "I ran into a fortune-teller three days ago who said that I would meet a benefactor after two days have passed. I didn't meet anyone, today is the third day, so the benefactor was you. I've got to thank you in a better way." I said, "Don't thank me, the benefactor is Master Li, you should thank Master Li and Dafa."
On one spring night in 2005, I was awakened from a dream by a phone call from my big brother. He said, "Your second brother has severe stomach pain. The medical doctor in the village diagnosed it as stomach perforation. You have to call the ambulance as soon as possible." Upon hearing this, I told him,"Tell him to shout 'Falun Dafa is great'." Then I called the ambulance. Big brother called me afterwards and said that the ambulance took little brother to the hospital and didn't find anything wrong with him after a check-up, and the stomach pain also stopped. On the second day, I went to my little brother's home and learned that there was nothing wrong with him at all. I asked him, "You tell me the truth, did you shout 'Falun Dafa is good'?" he said, "Yes I did, once I shouted it out, the pain disappeared. When I was sent to hospital, I didn't feel pain at all." I told him, "It was my Master who saved you. My Master said that if one person practices, the whole family benefits. I, your sister, practice Dafa, so you are sure to benefit too." My little brother nodded with strong belief. Because of this, my parents, big brother and little brother all witnessed Dafa's miracle. They didn't believe before and were even opposed to my practice, but they now both believe in Dafa.
In the winter of 2005, my father suddenly collapsed. Lying there unconscious, he could neither move nor talk. All our relatives in the room looked distressed, and mother cried upon seeing me and said, "Your father has never been like this before, it might not be good this time!" When seeing this, I felt calm and I sat in front of his bed. I whispered in his ear, "Pa, are you clear in your mind? I always asked you to recite 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good', but I have never heard you say that you believed in Dafa." I asked a few times, and all of sudden my father said, "Why wouldn't I say Falun Dafa is great, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great and Master Li is great?" Everybody around was shocked, and I knew that Master was saving him. I then put his shoes on and supported him walking a few yards under the watchful eye of relatives. After that, my father recovered miraculously. My relatives witnessed Dafa's miracle once again. My father has been a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) member for decades. Previously he wouldn't quit the CCP no matter how I tried to convince him. He withdrew from the Party spontaneously this time. The rest of my family quit the CCP and all its affiliates as well.
My aunt, living in a big city, also became partially paralyzed, and called me to request a visit. I then thought, "It may be Master assigning me to save her." So I went. My aunt and her family saw me, and told me, "We had been mailing you so much medicine in those years, but suddenly received a letter from you saying that you no longer needed it. We all thought that you passed away, then we were told that you're getting better and we wondered how you got better?" I then introduced the truth and beauty of Dafa to them. My aunt started the practice right away, and her health has improved little by little. Now their whole family, of over a dozen people, all believe that Falun Dafa is good.
One day I went to visit a patient in a hospital. A middle-aged woman in the same ward felt very depressed because of her illness and the expense. I started telling her about the beauty of Dafa, and I told her about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and that Dafa practitioners are never upset and do not haggle with others. Then I explained the Fa that Master wrote in Zhuan Falun to her. She was so grateful after listening to all this and said, "You really acknowledged my problem, you are so nice, and so good in opening other people's hearts." I then told her to recite "Falun Dafa is great" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great," and she was so excited that she wanted to be my sister.
My aunt is in her sixties. She couldn't eat for over forty days due to illness, and the hospital medication didn't work. They all said that it was an illness that could never be healed. I went to visit her one day, and wanted to tell her the truth about Dafa. She waved her hands, meaning no. Seeing this I then sat down and started to tell one of my uncles about Dafa. I recited some facts and truth clarification poems. When I recited, "If one's mind is filled with Dafa and good, one will be saved and have a future." My aunt heard those words at that moment, and sat up on the bed slowly. Seeing this I knew that she heard it, so I continued, and she stood up and unfolded her jacket a little bit. She then intentionally started listening to my talk, and her illness started disappearing afterward. A while later, when I met her, I told her, "Do you know that when I told you the facts of Dafa, and you learned it, your incurable illness was healed. It was my Master who was saving you, Dafa was saving you." She's very much convinced, and has believed in Dafa since then. Later she asked me for five copies of the Nine Commentaries for her family members.
I have a neighbor, a gentleman in his sixties. I often told him about Dafa, and he believes very much in it. He kept copies of Dafa truth-clarification pamphlets whenever he found them. One day he climbed up six meters high to hang up the corn, but suddenly fell down and laid on the ground unconscious. Seeing this, his elderly mother cried out for help. When people arrived, the old gentleman had come to and went to the hospital for a checkup. They didn't find anything wrong except a minor bone fracture. The elderly gentleman went back home without being hospitalized. The people who knew the facts about him would say, "He benefited from his belief in Dafa."
Since that time I have met so many individuals who have predestined relationships with Dafa. I am so glad that Master saved them. I could not finish all the examples like this in three days and nights. In addition to clarifying the facts during all kinds of opportunities around us, my husband and I also went to distribute fliers to some villages around us. One time it was close to Chinese New Year, and every household was busy preparing. We rode our bicycles over a hundred kilometers (62 miles) that day. It was past midnight when we returned home. We felt comforted and didn't feel tired at all. Sometimes we ran into police cars at rescue scenes, and sent forth righteous thoughts while facing the lights. We were open and aboveboard in doing this.
As the Fa rectification process moves on, the evil becomes less and less and the environment is getting better and better. As we improve, the environment improves. The time and chances for saving sentient beings is becoming less and less. I feel that my responsibility is getting heavier. I have to be more diligent and make best use of the wisdom that Dafa provides, do more in my Fa validation efforts, and save more sentient beings.
