Another Sentient Being Saved

Sept. 5, 2009 |   By a practitioner from Liaoning

(Clearwisdom.net) I learned about Falun Gong in 1997. Prior to this, I was not a healthy person, but my health was quickly restored after I began the practice. Teacher said that there would be interference as soon as one starts to cultivate. Every time I came home from group practice, my husband scolded and hit me. He even kicked me out of the house. I strictly followed Teacher's words to not fight back when being hit or insulted. I repeatedly clarified the truth to him and showed him the DVD about Falun Gong. His thinking changed gradually, and now he shows the that DVD to his friends.

A friend of my husband was very much against Falun Gong. He constantly made suggestions to my husband that provoked arguments between us. I used to get very upset every time I saw him, but studying the Fa made me realize that I should not do that. Teacher said, "Cultivators have no enemies." ("Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World, February 15, 2005") How could I get angry with him? He is a sentient being lost in the illusion of the human world! Later when he came to visit, I welcomed him and poured him a glass of water. I waved goodbye to him at the door and invited him back to our home. I would have not done that if I were not a practitioner.

Once he came to visit as we were watching the Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD. I recalled Teacher's words that all sentient beings came here for the Fa. I calmed myself and wanted to save him. My husband was somewhat afraid and wanted to turn off the television. I sent righteous thoughts to dissolve all the bad elements that prevented sentient beings from being saved and told my husband, "We should not be afraid of anything, because we are not committing any crime. Don't turn off the television. Didn't you say you that you liked listening to songs about Dafa? Shouldn't we share that joy with others?" His friend also asked us not to turn off the television. My husband then left the house, and I began to explain the facts about Falun Gong to his friend.

My husband came home as soon as I finished clarifying the truth. I talked about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations as we were watching TV. His friend told my husband not to join the CCP. Knowing that my husband's friend was a Party member, I said, "Then why don't you quit? This will bring you a brighter future." He agreed to quit and thanked us.

I was quite excited that such a stubborn person was awakened by the Fa principles and that the side of him that is good finally guided him to do the right thing. Another sentient being was saved.
