Validating Dafa Steadily, Following Master to Go Home
By Xinming, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
I'm an older illiterate practitioner who began Dafa practice in 1998. Because I had lots of diseases I started cultivating with the thought of giving it a try. Through cultivation, my Xinxing improved as well as my health. Many people around me walked onto the cultivation path because my changes were a witness to the wonders and sanctity of Dafa. However, Jiang's regime started the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999 and manipulated the media to deceive Chinese people so as to reach their goals of carrying on an evil persecution. Since I am a practitioner who benefited from Dafa I couldn't let them defame our Master. I clarified the truth with fellow practitioners. Because we lacked truth-clarification materials, we posted fact-clarification placards.
As a Dafa practitioner, I always participate in any activities that are good for Dafa; I am a life made by Dafa, a particle of Dafa. I will strive for doing the three things well and won't disappoint Master's benevolent salvation offer. I will show the wonders of Dafa to the sentient beings and follow Master to go home.
Do Whatever Master Tells Us to Do
By Qinglian, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
I began Dafa practice in 1995. I'm 71 years old. During the past ten years I have experienced huge mental and physical changes. I was illiterate and didn't know a single word before. But now I can read Zhuan Falun and Master's other books. On July 20, 1999, Jiang's regime started the persecution of Falun Gong. I was twice illegally held in a detention center, but I firmly believe in Master and Dafa. I do what Master tells us to do and do the three things well, study the Fa every day diligently and send forth righteous thoughts. I continue to clarify the truth to rescue more people. I'm firm in following Master's directions so I can return to my true wonderful home.
Eliminating the Attachment to Fear; Establishing a Group Exercise Site at Home
By Qinglian, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
I began Dafa study the first month of the 1999 Chinese New Year. I began with the attachment to curing my illnesses. But through studying the Fa and sharing experiences and thoughts with fellow practitioners, I realized my fundamental attachments. With the improvement of my Xinxing my health improved as well. Within half a year I had recovered completely. On July 20, 1999, Jiang's regime started the persecution of Dafa and practitioners. Our cultivation environment was disrupted. Some practitioners were afraid of showing up. Due to my own attachment to fear, although I still firmly believed in Fa, I didn't have the courage to tell people that I'm a practitioner. It created the stain on my cultivation. Later, through sharing experiences and thoughts with fellow practitioners, even in a harsh situation, I still broke down the barriers and established a group exercise site in my home. We have a cultivation environment to study the Fa and exercise again. I always believe in Master and Dafa. I will do three things well and follow Master to go home.
Eliminating the Attachment to Curing Diseases; Being a Fa-rectification Practitioner
By Shanyuan, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
I'm an illiterate senior citizen Dafa practitioner. I'm asking a fellow practitioner to write this for me. I began Dafa study in July 1998. I had many illnesses before and walked into Dafa with the attachment of curing my illnesses. Master said in Zhuan Falun,
"I do not talk about healing illness here, and neither will we heal illness. As a genuine practitioner, however, you cannot practice cultivation with an ill body. I will purify your body. The body purification will be done only for those who come to truly learn the practice and the Fa."(Zhuan Falun)official translation
I understood Master's Fa and improved my Xinxing. My illnesses all disappeared during cultivation. I cried for the suffering Master has to endure for his disciples. I'm so grateful for Master's benevolent salvation. I will strive forward vigorously to do the three things well. I will participate in everything that is good for Dafa and will catch up with the advancement of Master's Fa-rectification.
Being a True Dafa Practitioner; Showing the Sentient Beings the Wonders of Dafa
By Zhengxing, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
I was lucky to begin Dafa study in 1998. I walked into Dafa with sentimental attachments. Through studying the Fa and practicing, I benefited mentally and physically. With the improvement of my Xinxing I eliminated my attachments gradually. But later, when I was going through tribulations, I was driven by human notions and started experiencing sickness karma. I was hit hard mentally. But through experience sharing with fellow practitioners, I came back to Dafa again. I studied the Fa and upgraded my Xinxing and recovered quickly.
Jiang's regime started the persecution of Falun Gong nationwide. Our cultivation environment was disrupted. We all know Dafa is good. All of us benefited physically and mentally from Dafa. But due to the attachment to fear, we hid at home to practice and deviated from the Fa-rectification. We wasted over a year's time and left a stain on our cultivation path. Later, through experience sharing with fellow practitioners we realized that we should study the Fa and practice with dignity and should help practitioners to come back to Master's Fa-rectification. So we established a group exercise site again even under these harsh conditions. Fellow practitioners have a cultivation environment again. We truly understand our responsibility and mission as Dafa practitioners. By studying Master's lectures "Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples," and "Hurry Up And Tell Them" we firmly believe in the Fa and Master. I should do what I'm supposed to do with dignity. Fellow practitioners and I started clarifying the truth and telling people of the wonders of Dafa. As long as it's good for Dafa, I do it with my best efforts. It was all because of Master's protection and the mighty power of the Fa that I was able to walk to today. I will catch up with the advancement of Fa-rectification and follow Master to go home.
Studying the Fa Well; Eliminating Attachments
By Yuanrong, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang
I had many illnesses, such as coronary heart disease and a cerebral circulatory deficiency, and others. I couldn't do any work that requires physical strength. Later, I followed my sister and brother-in-law to study Dafa and walked onto the cultivation path. All my illnesses disappeared. In 1999, Jiang's regime started the persecution of Dafa. Nobody is allowed to practice any more. I had only had three days of Dafa study. My cultivation stopped for three years. I suffered a relapse of all my illnesses. I went to the county hospital, but they were never able to cure me. So I started practicing at home again. I recovered again. I had accumulated 30,000 Yuan debt because of the illnesses my daughter and I had. After I started cultivating again, I was able to return the money by working hard. We also built a new house. But I had a strong attachment to becoming rich and didn't cultivate diligently. So I started having sickness karma. I realized that it was because of my strong attachment and not-so-diligent cultivation. I will study the Fa well and walk the path Master arranged for me and follow Master to go home.
Eliminating Interference; Rescuing Family Members
By Wulian, Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
In 1995 I met the head of the local Falun Gong assistance center and got to know Dafa. This is what's called a predestined relationship. The next day I went to the group practicing site and started practicing. I've gone through challenges and tough times. I've had a lot of resistance and pressure from the family. I realized that the family interference mostly comes from attachments to emotions. I should try my best to eliminate the attachments. After the persecution started in 1999, my family was even more worried. They didn't let me study the Fa, practice or clarify the truth. At first I did everything behind their backs. Later I realized that I should clarify the truth to them too. After that, I further realized that I should rescue them as well. With my own advancement I was able to change my family's attitude toward me and their understanding of Dafa. Now there is no more interference from the family. In doing the three things, whenever I'm busy, I forget to send forth righteous thoughts or don't do it well enough. Now I realized that I still have a lot of improvements to make to meet the requirements of Fa-rectification. I will find and get rid of my shortcomings and catch up with Fa-rectification and do well the three things a Dafa practitioner is supposed to do.
Studying the Fa Well and Following Master to Go Home
By Zhengxin, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
I'm a 65-year-old Dafa practitioner. I began Dafa study in 1996. Not too long after I started practicing I felt great physically. I also found my true goals in my human life. I was so happy. But since the Jiang's regime started persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, due to my husband being deceived and threatened by the evil CCP, he tried to prevent me from practicing. I lost my freedom at home. I wasn't able to practice and study the Fa at home. I wasn't allowed to read any of Master's lectures or books. I often hid behind the haystack, by the kitchen range or under the eave to study the Fa. I went to a fellow practitioner's home to study Fa. When I did laundry by the river I often took the chance to go under the tree shadow to study the Fa. I kept studying and persisted in practicing in the dark. It was so hard without any freedom. One day when I was in my daughter's home reading Master's lectures my husband had followed me there. He pulled me down from the bed and questioned me like a policeman if I still was going to read Dafa materials. He pushed me out of the door. I walked back and forth in the yard and thought why it was so hard to be a human being. I cried. But I suddenly thought of Master's "Tempering the Will"
"To consummate yourself, reaping Buddhahood,
Let joy be found in hardship.
Physical pains count little as suffering,
Indeed, cultivating mind is hardest.
Each and every barrier must be broken through,
And everywhere does evil lurk.
Abundant troubles rain down together,
All to see: Can you pull through?
The world's miseries endured,
One departs the earth a Buddha."
Afterwards, I studied the Fa even more and kept practicing. I also sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions and rotten ghosts and the evil Communist spirits behind my husband. I clarified the truth and shared experiences with fellow practitioners. I want to walk righteously on the Fa-rectification path so I won't let disappoint Master's benevolent salvation efforts. I want to follow Master to go home.
Firmly Cultivating in Dafa and Striving Forward Vigorously
By Mingxin, a Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
In 1998, many fellow practitioners introduced me to Dafa. I joined a group exercise site and practiced with fellow practitioners. Several days later I felt great physically. After studying the Fa and practicing, I also understood the true principles of what it means to be a human being. I found my goals in life. Jiang's regime started the persecution of Dafa on July 20, 1999. They destroyed Dafa books. My daughter-in-law told me to hand over my books too. I knew Dafa books are precious and couldn't be handed over to the evil. So I kept my books, and have them until now. During the persecution, many friends and families worried about me. They asked me if I still practiced. I said, "yes, I'm still practicing. Falun Dafa is the righteous law. Cultivating in Dafa is improving oneself!" I clarified the truth to friends and family and other sentient beings. I distributed truth-clarification materials and told people about withdrawing from CCP. Lots of people withdrew from the evil CCP, understood the truth and chose a bright future. Master asks us to do the three things well and published his lecture "The Closer to the End, the More Diligent You Should Be." I will guard my Xinxing and try my best to do the three things and follow Master to go home.
