Helping Former Practitioners Return to the Path of Cultivation

Nov. 10, 2010 |   By a practitioner from Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province

(Clearwisdom.net) When a fellow practitioner was persecuted and deceived by lies and propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party, he gave up practicing Falun Dafa. He became an everyday person and came to suffer from a severe illness.

In order to help this former practitioner return to cultivation, fellow practitioners worked together and tried to help him. A practitioner knew about this person's health problems and tried to talk to him about healing and keeping fit. However, this did not work well. Then they downloaded materials from the Minghui website and talked to him about the teachings of Falun Dafa. However, the result still was not good. At that time, this practitioner really wanted to give up trying to help him, but he knew his vow and the promise he made before coming to the human world: If one person became lost in the human world, another must wake him up.

The practitioner read an experience sharing article on the Minghui website, and thought it might inspire the former practitioner. The article mentioned that a practitioner in the Divine Land Marching Band found that they could not walk for some reason, but needed to march in a parade. He asked for Master's help and then was able to walk for the whole parade easily. When this story was told to the former practitioner, it led him to believe that he could begin to practice Falun Dafa again.

In order to help the former practitioner firmly cultivate again, the practitioner agreed to meet him on the street at a certain time, and then they would talk about the Fa together. At the planned time, the former practitioner lingered at home and did not go out to meet the practitioner at the set time, and the practitioner waited on the street for him for an extra hour in the cold. When the former practitioner found out later about what happened, he was deeply moved.

Practitioners printed out Master's lectures and gave them to the former practitioner to read. When he started to study the Fa again, he understood more of the Fa, and has now come back to the cultivation path, following Master's requirements to do the three things well.

His family members have also started to practice, and he actively goes out of his way to help other practitioners return to cultivation.
