(Clearwisdom.net) A few years ago an old friend whom I had not seen for many years visited me at home. I thought he must be here to learn the truth about Dafa, and I must not miss this rare opportunity.
After polite greetings I immediately spoke of Dafa. I told him, "Falun Dafa practice cured many of my past illnesses such as heart attack, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach disorder and other health problems and made them disappear. I have been completely free of illness these past ten years, and I am full of energy. You must not believe the lies fabricated by the media. The Tiananmen Self-immolation Incident was a set-up. Jiang gave orders to stage this out of jealousy of Falun Dafa's popularity. The heavens will eliminate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP); no one can stop that. You must quickly quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations in order to be safe." Unexpectedly, he was very receptive to Dafa and empathized with Dafa disciples. He readily agreed to withdraw from the CCP.
Then he smiled and asked me, "Have you ever met Master Li Hongzhi?" I replied, "No, but I have dreamt of him on several occasions."
He said excitedly, "I have met Master Li. We even sat down to have a meal." I was astonished to hear this and pressed him to quickly tell me about this great predestined relationship he had with Master Li.
He reminisced about that meeting: "A woman living in our county town was very ill. She had a 5 kg tumour in her stomach. Her family had no money to pay for surgery. Whoever saw her felt sorry for her. One day we heard that her tumour had disappeared, and she was in great spirits, as if she was reborn. I went to find out what happened and learned she had attended a series of Falun Gong lectures; a few days later, the tumour dissolved and disappeared. I thought to myself if Falun Gong is so miraculous, I must find it and meet the great Master. I made inquiries everywhere and finally heard that Master Li was holding lectures at the Zhengzhou sports stadium. (One of my relatives lived around there). I rushed to Zhengzhou and went to my relative's place, explaining the purpose of my visit. Unable to contain herself she burst out saying, 'Falun Gong is indeed miraculous! Not only tumours were healed; thousands have recovered from all kinds of incurable illnesses. You happen to have a predestined relationship with Master Li. In a moment He will come to our house for dinner after his lecture.'
"Soon a simple home-cooked meal was ready and laid on the table. As I waited, I thought: when I see Master, I must thoroughly consult him.
"Not long after, sure enough, Master appeared before me. The first time I saw him I felt as if I had seen him before somewhere. He looked very familiar and kind, but I could not remember where I had seen him. He was very tall, and his complexion was clear and rosy. He looked very young. There were many things I wanted to say initially, but at that moment I completely forgot all about them. My whole body felt light and full of energy, my heart was full of joy. We ate and talked. Every word that Master said sounded so nice and so kind. Words cannot express the pleasant feeling I had. All too quickly we finished our meal. Master said he had some other matters to attend to and left first. I was reluctant to see him go and wished that he could stay for a while longer.
"After returning home I often thought of what Master said that day. Some things I could remember, some I could not remember clearly. But there was a sentence he said that I would forever remember.
"Master said, 'If fate decrees, we will meet again someday.'
"From then on, I got in touch with veteran practitioners and invited them to teach Falun Gong in our county town. I wanted more people in our area to benefit from the practice. We started a practice site and quite a few started to learn Dafa. It was a shame that before I could truly cultivate, the persecution began. Indeed, it was as if the dark clouds were pressing on one's head and one felt suffocated by it. Every two or three days, agents from the regime would come and visit me, accusing me of helping to spread Falun Gong. I was even locked up for several days. I was not afraid and still understood that Falun Dafa is good and Master Li Hongzhi is righteous. I would say this to whoever I met."
My friend paused and then continued, "It was funny, but that year my son unexpectedly became the top science scholar and enrolled in the country's top-rated institution of higher learning. After graduation he was assigned to a very prestigious research unit. I asked what he did there. He said it was a secret, and he could not tell anyone. I told him whatever research you do you must not lose your conscience. You must distinguish between right and evil. My son is obedient and filial. He replied, 'I will always remember your words.'"
My friend finished his story, and I am still sharing the story of his good blessings.
There are hundreds of millions of Dafa disciples. Everyone has inexpressible gratitude toward our great Master for everything he has given us. Any sentient being who has the predestined relationship to meet with Master is the most fortunate being.
My friend ended his story by repeating what Master told him: "If fate decrees, we will meet again someday."
I eagerly await this day!
