(Clearwisdom.net) In a small village below Bamian Mountain, people started hearing about Falun Dafa in 1995, and 60 percent of the families in the village started to practice Falun Dafa. They took cultivation seriously and experienced many benefits.
Sharing Water
A small river passed through Nanbian Village. Families in the upper reaches did not reduce their water usage and ignored the hardship this would cause for those in the lower reaches during times of drought before 1995. They also never repaired their channels even if they leaked. The fields in the lower reaches could not have water to irrigate, and families there burned with anxiety, quarreling and fighting with each other for water usage.
After the people in the upper reaches started to practice Falun Gong, they followed the principles of Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance. They were considerate of others all the time and put others first. They repaired their channels, guiding water to the fields of the lower reaches. For those in the lower reaches, that was certainly unusual, so they sent representatives to the upper level to investigate. They saw that those in the upper reaches were repairing their channels, guiding water to the lower reaches. They were very moved and thanked them many times. The people in the upper reaches said they cultivated Falun Dafa, and it was Master Li Hongzhi who taught them to be good people.
The people of the lower reaches understood and acclaimed Falun Dafa is good! The upper reaches people joined them, too. From then on, the people in the lower reaches also started cultivating Falun Dafa.
Protected from a Flood
The people who experienced the flood of 1998 remember it to this day. In the flood, the small village at the bottom of Bamian Mountain also faced danger. The flood from the mountain moved towards the village with mud, sand, trees, and bamboo. In direct path of the flood was a family who cultivated Falun Dafa, with the oldest one being over 90 years old. When the others all chose to escape, the one in her 90s wouldn't leave. She stepped outside the door, held her hands together, and asked Master to protect her house. Immediately, trees and bamboo about five meters from this house fell towards the mountain, so that when the trees and bamboo, mud and sand raced down the mountain, there was a natural fence to re-direct the flood. The flood was divided into two above the home, coming as close as two meters away from their house. The house was saved.
In the lower reaches was a small bridge. The surface of the bridge is about 15 meters high, and the aperture is just about three meters. If the aperture was blocked, the whole village would be covered by the flood. Since 60 percent people in the village cultivated Falun Dafa, the Fa again demonstrated its mighty power. On the hill about seven meters away from the bridge, trees and bamboo all fell down to form a dam. The dam diverted the flood away from the bridge to the lower reaches. The whole village was saved. The villagers all thanked Falun Dafa and Master Li Hongzhi.
A female Falun Gong practitioner in her 40s carried some vegetables on a pole to sell in the market. When she reached a hill below the mountain, the flood suddenly came. She was surrounded by water. She stood on a grass hill, surrounded by the water, and all the soil around her washed away, leaving her in a bad situation. She did not feel afraid at that time, knowing that she practiced Falun Gong. She called out to Master to help her. Then a mysterious force lifted her and the vegetables to a dry hill. She was unharmed.
Miracles in the village were countless, and the news spread around the whole county. More and more peasants came to practice Falun Gong, and it became a county famous for having the most Falun Gong practitioners.
