(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of October 10, 2009, I took the bus to attend a school reunion. On the way, a man that was around 40 years old boarded the bus and sat in the seat next to me. An older person got on as well. I handed two copies of the 2009 Shen Yun performance DVD to this man.
The man said, "Do you know who I am?" I said without thinking, "You are a policeman." He nodded, and then said angrily, "I am taking you away! I see that you have a lot more stuff in your bag." I said, "Don't do this. I am here to save you." He said, "I don't need you to save me. I am going to..." The older man interrupted, "It's OK. Let's just let this one slide." The policeman reached for his cell phone and said, "No!" After the line was connected, he said, "Hello. I ran into an elderly person who seems to be a Falun Gong practitioner. What should I do?"
His statement that he was taking me away reminded me of the hardship my family and I have gone through since the persecution began. I asked Master, "Help, Master! I cannot be taken away by him. That's not where I should be." I also sent forth righteous thoughts.
At this point, everyone on the bus was watching the policeman. The policeman asked the bus driver and conductor, "When did she get on?" They both said they didn't remember. I said to him, "When you got on the bus, the other [older] man wanted to buy a ticket for you, and you said you already had one. I was impressed that you did not want to take advantage of others. This is also how I was brought up as well. I thought you were a good man, and you were sitting next to me, so I couldn't help but give you the video. You should watch it. This is good for you and your family."
I don't know what the person on the other end of the line said. The policeman hung up and said, "I'll let you go this time. You need to watch it in the future." I said, "Falun Gong practitioners are good people. We strive to be truthful, compassionate, and tolerant. Those are our standards for ourselves. We don't force it upon others. As long as you remember Falun Dafa is great, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great, you will have a good future."
As we reached the last stop on the bus, people around me began talking about it. In front of the policeman, I handed out copies of the video to two other people and told them about Shen Yun's success and the depth of classical Chinese arts and culture. The older man listened closely and looked at me with admiration. When the policeman got off the bus, he smiled at me and put the video in his bag.
When I was faced with the test of life and death, I asked for Master's help. I cleared away the evil factors controlling the policeman, and used supernormal abilities given to us by Master. Asking for Master's help is different from asking for ordinary people's help. It's not for our personal relief or desire. It is a part of the fulfillment of a disciples' vows, and a manifestation of the profundity and depth of our faith in Master and the Fa.
Since then, I have tried to remember that Master is around me all the time. When I was looking for another practitioner and got lost, I asked for Master's help. Soon after that, two farmers suddenly showed up and gave me directions. Another time when I was lost, a practitioner appeared in the opposite direction, as though just to welcome me. I am grateful to Master and the Fa for the encounter on the bus. It helped me reach a new understanding on my faith in Master and the Fa. Asking Master for help is not the same as asking for help from ordinary people, nor is it a burden for Master. Instead, it is truly melting ourselves into the Fa. I am fulfilling my historic vows. I am here to assist Master with the Fa-rectification and to save people.
When I was at a detention center, an elderly lay Buddhist cultivator saw Master levitating in the air. He said to me, "Your teacher is here." At that moment, I smelled a wonderful fragrance. Since then, I have often smelled that same fragrance. I am delighted to be melting into the Fa and feel that I have every ability. Master has given me precious Fa implements that enable me to make progress on this divine path. Every thought of ours is critically important.
Master has transformed me from a stubborn person to one who is basked in the light of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I am enveloped by it. I am no longer satisfied to just be a good person in the secular world. What is a supernormal person? That is a divine being. Master has guided me on a sacred path of return. What a wonderful thing it is to be able to fulfill my vows and save sentient beings! The reason why it is so sacred is because we are doing it with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Master is protecting me at every moment. I am cleansing myself and elevating my spirit in the Fa's light.
Master, I have nothing to return your boundless grace. All I can do is to cultivate diligently and do well the three things Dafa disciples should do, and to return to my origin. I should have no pursuit at any moment. My life was given by Master, and the only way to make it meaningful and worthwhile is by following Master's guidance.
