The Cultivation Experience of a New Practitioner

March 9, 2007 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in May 2006. My husband is a non-practitioner, and he once objected to my practicing and constantly found fault with me. He also had a bad temper. Before I began practicing Falun Gong, he was anxious and fault-finding. He made a big deal out of everything with the intent of interfering with my cultivation. I did nothing wrong, but he always took his anger out on me. I became angry about his behavior, but then I remembered that I was a cultivator, and that I not only should not be angry but also should practice Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. He did not want me to practice, so I did my exercises when he was not home. However, I had a hard time calming down during my meditation. When I heard a little noise, I wondered whether he was coming home, whether he wanted to quarrel with me. My heart was burdened with worry and my legs hurt too much to sit any longer. After I put my legs down, I became regretful that I had just wasted my time again that day.

I came to recognize that what I did by studying the Fa was the most righteous. I was not afraid of anyone, and no one could interfere with me. Teacher has mentioned that interference will point directly at our human notions, and we need to maintain righteous thoughts at every moment. Once when I was practicing the exercises, my husband came home and shouted at me, "If you practice again, I'll call the police to arrest you." I was quite anxious and asked him, "Why won't you let me practice Falun Gong? I do the exercises for my body and cultivate my heart according to Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance just to become a good person. So what's wrong with that? I was sick since I was little and took medicine ever since. You know that, and after I practiced Falun Gong my physical condition became much better and I no longer take medicine. Such a wonderful practice, and you refuse to let me do it. Are you trying to do harm to me?" My husband said, "Your physical condition is definitely better, I have to admit that, but it was reported on TV that Falun Gong would do people great harm." I explained to him that the things we saw on TV were deceptive, and that the Tiananmen Square Immolation was false. They were the evil's bad deeds, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was hurting people.

Recently something happened to my husband, and it made him truly understand. A few days ago, his gallstones were acting up, and he went to the clinic to get an IV. He did not get better and could not eat or sleep. He also suffered from excruciating pain. I told him to recite, "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good, " and also asked Teacher to help him to understand the truth. After a little while, his pain subsided, and he actually fell asleep shortly after. I surely did feel the miracles of Dafa and it also strengthened my confidence in believing in Teacher and Dafa. The next morning, he eagerly told me, "Falun Gong is really wonderful—it's really miraculous! Now I don't feel the pain at all." I said that it was Teacher's compassion and that he should be grateful to Teacher! Since then he has no longer interfered with my practice. Sometimes he even reminds me to get up to do the exercises. He also got rid of the picture of the evil head, which he cherished for many years, and he quit being a member of the Youth League and the Party. Whenever he meets with relatives and friends, he says, "Falun Dafa is good."

I am so happy! One more life has been saved! We should thank Teacher for his compassion in allowing all these events to happen.
