(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa in 1996 and am now 82 years old. Since the day I obtained the Fa, I have been positive that this is the real path in my life to return home. Several times as I looked at our compassionate and majestic Teacher in the photo, tears filled my eyes. I said to Teacher in my heart, “Teacher, I want to return home with you. I'll keep practicing Falun Dafa regardless of what other people say.”
My third eye opened on the second day I began cultivation. I saw a wide golden road in front of me and I was rushing forward. I felt strong energy surging in me like ocean waves whenever I did the exercises, and Faluns on my hands were spinning like fans. I also saw very beautiful scenes in other dimensions. Sometimes I saw too much and it was interfering with my exercises, so I asked in my mind, “Teacher, please turn off these 'movies!' I don't want to watch them anymore.” The scenes were soon gone, but I still could often see the Faluns spinning around me. Even now I still feel very happy when I think about those blessed days. I had found the true path and was determined to return home with Teacher. I have always had firm belief in Teacher's words and I will do whatever Teacher asks us to do.
I was illiterate and could not read Zhuan Falun. I was very anxious and asked Teacher in my mind, “Teacher! You said in order to reach consummation, one must study the Fa, but I do not know any Chinese characters! Please give me some hints or teach me how to read!” One morning when I woke up, I saw Chinese characters flying around the room. I walked outside and saw Chinese characters everywhere—on the walls, on the roof, and on my body. I picked up the book again and saw that all the characters were golden and moving slowly. It was as if the characters were made of gold liquid. When I stared at an unknown character, the pronunciation and the meaning of it would immediately come to my mind. My appreciation for Teacher is beyond words.
After July 20, 1999, the air was filled with lies. Teacher was being slandered maliciously by the CCP, the minds of innocent people were being poisoned, and our local practitioners were being arrested and persecuted. Facing all this, I chose to clarify the facts of the persecution by talking to people one-on-one. I believe everyone I meet has a predestined relationship with me and I tell them how my health improved after practicing Falun Dafa. I tell them, “You must remember, Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Many of the people that I've talked with were older and in poor health. Many of them then understood the truth about the persecution and their health significantly improved.
In cultivation in this Fa rectification period, I realized that as long as it's something for Dafa, then we need to do it and do it well. After Teacher taught the Fa about sending forth righteous thoughts, I added a thought when I distribute Falun Gong materials: “Let the sentient beings see the truth and not casually throw this away.” I've put flyers in thousands of homes, and everyday I put different ones in different homes. When I give someone the material face-to-face to predestined people, I tell them to treasure it and keep it carefully. Most people gladly take it and tell me that they will take care of it.
Of course, in the many years of cultivation in the Fa rectification period, I have encountered interference by the evil factors.
Last year I wasn't careful when we were sharing experiences outside and I was arrested. At the police station, I saw all kinds of dark matter trying to get into Dafa practitioners' dimensions. I immediately sent forth strong righteous thoughts to eliminate these evil things. I did not answer any of the officers' questions. Then they threatened me that they would put me in jail. I immediately said, “What you say does not count. What our Teacher says counts.” I asked for Teacher's help at the same time, “Teacher, please help me. I cannot stay here. I'm your Dafa disciple and I need to do things that Dafa practitioners are supposed to do.” With Teacher's help, I was out of there within 40 minutes and went home.
In cultivation, Teacher really just looks at Dafa disciples' hearts. I have seen that, when some Dafa disciples cooperate with each other to do things, their righteous thoughts are not strong enough and within their thoughts there is some selfish mentality. But Teacher requires us to do things with the purest of intentions, and only by doing so will what we do be the best and the most sacred. How could we do things with these bad attachments? Dafa disciples need to always hold strong righteous thoughts. I always add a thought when I walk, “The evil cannot see me.” As a result, they really cannot see me when I clarify the truth.
Through studying the Fa, I realized that Teacher's words are the Fa: things will change when Teacher says they will (just like cosmic changes), and I should do whatever Teacher says. It doesn't matter when I clarify the truth or if I am arrested, as long as I send forth righteous thoughts and then ask Teacher to help, it's guaranteed that I'll be able to break through the interference. When I clarify the truth, as long as I first send forth righteous thoughts so that predestined people can see the material, then the old forces' arrangements that try to keep people from being saved will be eliminated.
