(Clearwisdom.net) I would like to write about my experiences of validating Dafa so that we can share our experiences, get rid of our attachment to fear, focus on our study and cultivation, and move forward diligently.
Our True Nature Knows How to Validate the Fa
One day in 2000 I sat by the window on a bus. A 60-year-old man got on and sat next to me. The bus was very crowded, and someone said, "Our society is so unstable, and people are so bad." Another one said, "You can't tell what is what these days because there are so many fake items on the market." The old man said, "Falun Gong even went to Tiananmen to burn themselves. What were they doing that for?" I was struggling with my own fear, thinking, "Should I talk to him or not? What he says about Falun Gong and self-immolation will hurt a lot of people. If I don't talk to him now, when will I?"
I said, "You talk about Falun Gong and the Tiananmen self-immolation incident, but do you know that you have been fooled? That was staged by the government to deceive ordinary citizens and frame Falun Gong. Do you know anything about Falun Gong? Have you ever read any truth-clarification materials?" The old man said that he knew nothing except what was reported on TV. I told him that I knew a lot about it and that my sister and I were practicing it. I started to clarify the truth to him and also told him the principles of having a healthy body.
I observed that the other people on the bus were reacting very favorably, and they were all looking at me, so I continued to clarify the truth and my fear disappeared. Before I got off the bus, I told the old man, "Try to remember: 'Falun Dafa is good' and Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are good.' Remembering that could bring you rewards."
As I excited the bus, the old man suddenly shouted, "Falun Dafa is good." I immediately said, "Yes! Remember Falun Dafa is good." I gave him a thumbs up, and we both smiled. My true nature came out to validate the Fa during a critical moment, and at the same time I felt Master's boundless mercy.
What Dafa Disciples Do Is the Most Righteous in the Universe
When SARS became an epidemic, all vehicles were checked on every street, road, and station. Our body temperatures, addresses, destinations, and the nature of our travel plans were all recorded. Because practitioners who lived in remote mountain areas were short of Dafa materials, we had to deliver them over the years. Saving sentient beings and harmonizing the whole body are what Dafa disciples should do. In addition, we also took this opportunity to let go of our human notions, particularly the attachment to fear. For those reasons, neither rain, nor sun nor snow--and not even SARS--could stop us from doing the right thing.
Before we drove to the remote mountain areas, we sent forth righteous thoughts, cleared evil elements in our and fellow practitioners' dimensions, and got rid of rotten ghosts, so that the police would not check our car. If they did, it would be just a formality and the police were not allowed to see any Dafa materials in our car. We continuously sent forth righteous thoughts during our trip. Consequently, the police let us go every time, or they just took a quick peek and that was it.
Righteous Thoughts Disclose Illusions on Earth and Overcome Sentimentality
In the summer of 2004, my son-in-law called me around 9:00 p.m. and told me that I had better get over to his home. He had beaten my daughter and wanted a divorce because she bought some new outfits and came home late due to activities in her work unit. Normally he was respectful toward me, but this time he was rude over the phone and he ordered me to be a mediator. I told him to tell my daughter to come home early from then on and to work it out themselves. My son-in-law said in a mean tone, "Are you coming or not? If not, I am going to kill her tonight." I told him that there are laws to deal with people who do wrong things and asked him to take good care of himself. I thought to myself, "What happened today is by no means a coincidence." I was sure it was due to a loophole of mine, and the old forces were taking advantage of it. I had to pass this test, and therefore I told him, "No, I am not coming over."
At that time, it was almost 10:00 p.m. and close to the time for sending forth righteous thoughts. I believed what had happened to them was interference, but I thought, "What if he does what he says?" I changed my mind quickly: "I am a Dafa disciple, and my every notion as well as every word carries energy. I should not send bad messages to them." Master said in "Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference,"
"So in any situation, don't be affected by human-type behavior, don't be affected by human thoughts, and don't be affected by the feelings and emotions in this world, either."
Three days later, my daughter came to visit me and I asked her about the incident. She smiled and said it was absolutely nothing, and after 10:00 p.m. that night, my son-in-law even apologized to her. My little granddaughter said, "My father was very angry, and I was so scared that I cried, but later my father apologized." I told her to remember that Falun Dafa is truly good.
People in the Mountain Regions Were Happy to Learn Falun Dafa
A relative of mine lives in a mountain village. There are no practitioners there, so no one knew the truth, and everyone was deceived by the lies from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Besides having been deeply poisoned by the CCP, they also were afraid of being persecuted by the CCP. As a result, they did not want to hear the truth. After several years of hearing my truth-clarification, plus witnessing my behavior as a cultivator, they finally believed that Dafa is good, and recognized the power of Dafa.
In March 2005, when villagers heard that I would visit them, they came to see me in small groups. After some small talk, I turned the conversation toward the persecution, the evil nature of the CCP, and Jiang Zemin's faction being sued in courts around the world. At the same time, I answered their questions, and everyone was listening with great interest. Suddenly Xiaoquo said, "Yes, it is so true and real." Everyone looked at her, and she said, "It's real. When I was listening to you a few minutes ago, there was a warm current running through my body, and then a cold current went from my back to the bottom of my feet. It is so comforting!" Her words affected everyone. I said, "That is because you have a predestined relationship, and Master is taking care of you now. Please cherish this opportunity." I then gave every villager two copies of truth-clarification materials to read at home.
The next day, when I was studying the "Fa," Xiaoquo, Xiaohua, and Xiaomin all came to see me. I clarified the truth to them. In the middle of it, I patted Xiaoquo on her shoulder, and she shouted, "Another cold current went down my back to my legs. The pain in my back is gone. Dafa is so miraculous and so good. I want to learn it." Xiaohua said, "I am not sensitive to energy, but I feel very comfortable, and I too want to learn it."
That night, I taught Xiaoquo, Xiaohua, and Xiaomin the exercises. Later, more people wanted to learn them: two in 2004, one in 2003. Altogether there were nine people who studied the Fa and did the exercises. Xiohua's husband had just returned from the hospital, and he did not look too good. When he saw Xiaohua learning it, he picked up China Falun Gong and started to read it. The next day, he felt much better, so he continued to read in his spare time, even when cookingl, and very soon he recovered.
I finally see that the villagers have awakened to the truth. Now, there are nine people studying the Fa and doing the exercises and five others studying the Fa. More and more people know about the truth, and know that Falun Dafa is an upright and noble practice.
