70-Year-Old Man Learns to Prepare Truth-Clarifying Materials on the Computer

Dec. 30, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) I used to wait for fellow practitioner A to give me truth-clarifying materials, and I would then make copies to distribute. Once this practitioner, upon handing me the materials, told me that I would have to prepare the materials by myself the following week. In fact, I had been thinking of learning to prepare materials on the computer for a while. I immediately asked the practitioner to help me. He introduced me to practitioner B, who would help me with technical training. This is how I started to learn to prepare truth-clarifying materials on the computer.

Practitioner B was very busy, but he taught me very patiently. He wanted to teach me all he knew in a short time. However, I was 70 years old and had just started to learn to use a computer with zero background. I couldn't remember all of what he told me.

At that time, there were many practitioners in nearby areas who had computer skills. Practitioner C came to my home to teach me many times when she had days off. I often went to practitioner D's home whenever I had questions. Practitioner E was an engineer and sometimes had to work on Sundays. He stopped by my home several times after he got off work. It would be 1 or 2 a.m. by the time he got back home. Practitioner A also had some computer skills and helped me a lot.

During the learning process, there was also interference. Not long after I started to learn to use the computer, my 93-year-old mother got severely sick. I got a phone call that my mother was sick and really wanted to see me since I hadn't been home for several years. I went back home, and a week later, she recovered. I came back and continued to learn to use the computer. A few days later, I took my printer to a repair shop. On my way there, a truck rushed by the side of the taxi I was in, and the door of the taxi was damaged. On my way back from the shop, the taxi I took also had a problem. The taxi driver drove too fast when making a left turn at a crossroad, and the door suddenly flew open. Fortunately, I was holding the handle at the top of the door frame and was not thrown out. It could have been a very dangerous situation, but with Master's protection, everything was well in the end.

Thanks to many fellow practitioners' help, I am now able to make use of the Internet. I can download and print materials, and even do some simple editing. Thank you fellow practitioners! Thank you Master!

Two weeks before I started learning to use the computer, I began to memorize the Fa. When I started to learn computer skills, no matter how busy I was, I always managed to recite the Fa. I spent seven and a half months to finish memorizing Zhuan Falun once. I feel I must study the Fa well in order to smoothly prepare the truth-clarifying materials. In order to do well in preparing Dafa materials, improving oneself in cultivation is essential.
