New Practitioner: Falun Dafa Has Changed Me

Aug. 23, 2010 |   By a new Falun Gong practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in 2009. Before that I had many bad habits including drinking and smoking. I never seriously thought about how I wanted to live my life. I had generated a lot of karma and hurt many people. I even betrayed my wife. When I was lost in my life, my wife, who is a Falun Gong practitioner forgave me compassionately. She also patiently enlightened me to the Dafa principles.

Finally, I started reading Zhuan Falun. In the beginning I could not see any deep meanings. But I was starting to be blessed by Falun Gong, and many amazing things happened to me. I once escaped three car accidents in one day. I was scared afterward, but I knew that Master had protected me.

Another time, when I was working, a seven-meter long and 4-inch wide iron pipe fell on my feet. I was not nervous and did not think much at that time, but my feet were all purple, yet I didn't feel any pain at all.

Not long after that, I had a big knot in my thigh. It was so painful that I couldn't walk or stand straight, but I was not scared at all. Two days later, blood and water started to discharge. I knew Master was cleansing my body and I recovered completely within three days.

One day I read this paragraph from one of Master's lectures:

"It's hard for someone to enter Dafa right now unless he's extremely steadfast. For example, some people have learned the exercises, and if you want them to immediately become Dafa disciples and after they get in you lead them to do some Fa-validation things, then the old forces will interfere. And the old forces have a strong excuse, namely, "there's not enough time, and the desire he's demonstrated isn't that strong." They're saying that his desire to become a Dafa disciple isn't that strong. That's why it's hard to get in."

("Teaching and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference")

After reading this paragraph, I had a thought: Master has already been taking care of me and saving me with unimaginably enormous compassion. Then I should strive to be a true Dafa practitioner. I am extremely fortunate to have attained this highly virtuous Fa, then what's in my life that I cannot let go of? There are still many tribulations that I might encounter on my cultivation path, but I will be calm as I know the true meaning of life. I strongly believe what Master said: "Fa-rectification is sure to succeed, and Dafa disciples are sure to achieve Consummation." ("Greetings" on February 6, 2008)

I will follow Master to return to my true home! Thank you, Master!
