(Clearwisdom.net) First I would like to thank Master for saving me and saving all sentient beings in the world.

I am a translator, and my role on Dafa projects is mostly translating and editing. I have discovered that cultivation is becoming easier now because I study the Fa a lot and as often as I can.

I set aside time to study the Fa in the morning and at night before I go to bed, even if it's just a few paragraphs. If I do not, I will have dreams while I sleep. If I do follow this plan, though, I find myself reciting all through the night the part of the Fa that I studied that night.

I once had a very strong attachment of fear towards almost everything. However, after becoming a cultivator of Falun Dafa, gradually I have found myself to be very strong. My fear has diminished a lot, even though the attachment of fear is still there.

After studying the Fa, at night I review my words and actions of that day, looking inward for anything that I have said or done wrong. After a while it has become natural. I find that every incident in my daily life is a reflection of me, and it is a mirror for me to check and examine myself in cultivation. The result is that I am becoming kinder, looking at things from a broader perspective, and less likely to react to things impetuously.

Master has helped me many times. When I am stuck, Master is always there to pick me up. Due to my attachment, I faced some financial problems. It has been three years now. However, as Master said in Zhuan Falun,

"What ordinary people say is good isn't necessarily good, and what ordinary people say is bad isn't necessarily bad."

I now have a job that is not too demanding, which means less money, but I have a lot of time to do Dafa work. If I had not taken this path, I would not have done a lot of things for Dafa projects. Because I work on many projects, I need to buy computers and software licenses for them. Sometimes the software licenses are as much as $900.

This year I had some tax return money, and I wanted to fix a plumbing problem that had persisted for two years. Every time I washed clothes, the water from the washing machine overflowed into the kitchen sink. Recently, the water almost overflowed the sink, so I feared that it would run all over the floor. I set aside about $2,000 to get this fixed. However, I recently took on a new Dafa project. For this project, we established a guideline that each of us had to buy our own computers and software licenses independently. I had to buy two computers and some software licenses, each costing about $800. I mulled over how to deal with the plumbing problem and still buy supplies for this new project. After thinking about it, I decided not to fix the plumbing problem for now, and buy the new computers and software licenses instead. That weekend I started to do the laundry. After the first washing, as usual I went into the garage to empty about four gallons of water. However, to my surprise, there was very little water, just about a cup worth. Tears ran down my cheeks. Master is always with me; it's just that I cannot see him. At times I feel sad when I hear about other practitioners getting to see Master. Now I do not feel sad anymore, because Master is always next to me.

Master told us,

"This method and form of cultivation that I've told everyone to take today is to cultivate while conforming to ordinary human society and to validate Dafa using ordinary human means to the greatest extent possible..."

("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York")

I am proud to declare that I am a Falun Dafa cultivator. I will always cultivate righteously and never take shortcuts in anything I do.

Thank you, Master

Thank you for reading about my experience.
