(Clearwisdom.net) I'm close to 60 years old. People say I look like I'm only in my 30s or 40s. In the past dozen years, I have gone to many provinces and cities and clarified the truth to the predestined people I've met.
During the Olympics, many practitioners were arrested and could no long study the Fa and share experiences together. I have been focusing on doing the three things well. I was able to exhort many people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Every now and then I had fear, but Master's teachings came to mind immediately:
"If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe." (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
My experience is that when I study the Fa more, my compassion becomes stronger, and I am not affected by my human notions. When I clarify the truth, the evil does not dare to interfere. Master gives me endless wisdom and power.
The Puzzle in My Mind
I often had dreams when I was young that I was flying in the sky with my arms open. I saw many huge mansions and beautiful colors and scenes that I had never seen in real life. Sometimes I swam in the sea with colorful fish next to me. I also saw people who looked like me flying out to fight with people I didn't know in places I had never been. After I woke up, I often felt tired. The strange thing was that many things that happened in my dreams often occurred in my life exactly the way I'd seen them.
In the 1980s, qigong became very popular in Beijing. I went to listen to several qigong lectures. One night, I felt very hot while I was asleep. Later, when my child hurt his head or my coworkers sprained their ankles, I touched and rubbed their injuries. They would become better; I could not understand why.
Dafa Solved My Puzzles
I went to learn the Falun Gong exercises near my older sister's house in the summer of 1997. It was a nice day. I heard the beautiful music and saw many people lined up. I learned attentively. When I was doing the second exercise and holding the Falun, I felt that the Falun was spinning in my arms, hands, stomach and my entire body. It felt amazing.
After I went back to my sister's house that day, I could not wait to watch Master's videotapes. I felt there was a screen in front of my forehead like a television. Around me, I saw that Master's Energy Bodies were teaching me the Fa. Some were white, some pink, some blue, and some yellow. I did not sleep that night. I finished reading the entire book. Zhuan Falun is a book from heaven! I looked at Master's amiable face; it was what I had been searching for for many years.
Master answered many questions that I could not understand for many years. That day, I started reading Zhuan Falun and practicing the exercises. Soon after that, Master purified my body. I felt so energetic and did not feel tired climbing up the stairs. When I study the Fa, I see the words in the book shining. When I feel I have enlightened to something while studying the Fa, I know that I have gotten rid of some of the bad substances in my body.
Appealing for Dafa and Clarifying the Truth
The evil CCP used all the media to slander Dafa and Master in July 1999. In order to clear Master's name, I took my child with me and went to Beijing appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. There were many practitioners lining up on both sides of the street. There were many policemen, too. There were army trucks full of armed police. They used electric batons to shock some young male practitioners. Later, the armed police forced us into buses and took us to Fengtai Stadium.
There were many guards there. At night, more practitioners arrived. There were over 10,000 of us. We sat on the ground and recited Zhuan Falun. Some practitioners read Zhuan Falun for everybody. I saw a huge, round Falun spinning in the sky around midnight. All of a sudden, there was cheering in the stadium. I saw the entire sky was filled with what looked like spinning umbrellas, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple small Faluns spinning rapidly. I was so excited. I thought, "Master and the guardian gods are all protecting us!"
Many practitioners and I were pushed onto buses again and taken to an old stadium in the suburbs. There were many guards there. It was after midnight. I thought that I shouldn't stay there and needed to figure out a way to go home. So, along with several other practitioners, I started clarifying the truth to the guards and told them the changes we experienced after practicing Falun Gong and how Dafa teaches us to follow the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and become a better person. After a while, the soldiers said, "Those in charge are not here. Hurry up and get out of here." We left quickly.
Seizing Different Opportunities to Clarify the Truth
At the beginning, I did not know how to clarify the truth. I just thought I would never allow anybody to disrespect Dafa. So I used different opportunities to clarify the truth to my friends, family and coworkers, and tell them about the wonderfulness of Dafa as well as my own cultivation experience.
I received anti-web-blocking software from fellow practitioners and was able to read Master's new lectures on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website and benefited from reading practitioners' sharing articles.
During one of our school reunions, I was told about somebody who worked on the street committee. On every holiday or "sensitive date," she went with officers from police substations to arrest Falun Gong practitioners. I was warned not to mention anything about Falun Gong to her. There were about 20 people present that day. When everybody complimented me on looking younger than my age, I naturally led them to the topic of how I had started to cultivate and how I continued to practice Falun Gong and why the evil CCP persecutes Dafa. I talked for over an hour. Everybody listened attentively, especially that classmate. She told me afterwards that she did not want to do what she did in the past anymore. I said, "In the past, you were poisoned by the evil Party and committed crimes without knowing the truth. Now that you understand the truth, you should start protecting practitioners to atone for what you have done."
Through Master's boundless grace, many people that I haven't contacted for a long time have been coming to see me to learn the truth about Falun Gong.
One day in a dream, I saw many small, dark, empty houses. There were many very skinny people around. Then I saw many Buddhas rising to the sky. I could not understand what that meant after I woke up. Then I read on the Minghui and Epoch Times websites the shocking news about the CCP harvesting organs from living practitioners for profit. I recalled the scenes in my dream and was shocked. I realized that only when we clarify the truth more will we be able to stop this evil persecution.
My cousins, who live in Harbin City, all work in important positions. I took the train to visit them and brought along some gifts and informational materials. That night when I brought up the facts to them, they were scared and were not happy to hear about it. Master asks us, "Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy." ("Rationality," Essentials for Further Advancement II) I reminded myself not to be anxious. I let them read the materials first. That night, I sent forth righteous thoughts even in my dreams. The next day, we had dinner together as a family. I thought that Master created this opportunity for me and I had to treasure it. After dinner, I clarified the truth to everybody, and over ten people in my family voluntarily withdrew from the CCP.
Walking Well the End of My Cultivation Path
In one of my dreams, I saw many beautiful lotus flowers in the sky. They were pink, green, and purple. I was flying. I had a white lotus flower in my hands. I know that Master was encouraging me!
I will always remember what Master said:
"Only if one can persevere and continually forge ahead does it amount to true diligence. It's easy to talk about, but putting it into action is tremendously difficult. That is why it's said that always cultivating as if you were just starting will surely result in achieving your ultimate rank." ("Fa Teaching at the Greater New York International Fa Conference")
