(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong in 1998 to heal my illnesses. My mother even bought Zhuan Falun for me. However, when I practiced the exercises, I always thought about why I still felt uncomfortable here and there. A year later, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its persecution against Falun Gong and my work unit did not allow me to practice, I renounced this cultivation practice.
Over the years I contracted more illnesses. When my mother suggested that I practice Falun Gong again, I agreed.
Improving My Xinxing
I no longer thought about healing my illnesses this time around. Instead, I wanted to figure out how my mother could firmly adhere to her belief for so many years and what Falun Gong is all about?
After I returned to Falun Gong, my severe nervous tension headaches and insomnia were gone within one day, while the stomach pain, rheumatism, and pain in my hip bone took a few more days before it disappeared. My husband witnessed the improvements in my health and understood that Falun Gong is very good.
I began to contact fellow practitioners, study Master’s new lectures and all of his other publication, send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth about the practice.
However, I did not know the true meaning of cultivation and how to improve my xinxing. I always found other people’s faults based on Master’s Fa, rather than my own faults.
After I joined the local group Fa-study, I improved my understanding and found my gaps. As I began to use the Fa to measure myself, I changed my perceptions.
Not Blaming Others During Conflicts
Fellow practitioners came to my home to learn cell phone technology. A practitioner misunderstood something I said and criticized me. I was upset, but kept telling myself that it wasn’t her fault. I was in the wrong, and I should not be angry with her.
It felt as if I came down with a fever that evening, but it did not materialize. I knew that Master had transformed karma for me because He saw that my xinxing had improved. That was the benefit of looking inward, which I experienced for the first time.
From then on, I always looked inward during conflicts with practitioners or non-practitioners, and thought that I had a problem and not the other person. Mainly, I looked for a human notion I had to let go of.
Believing in Master Completely
Master adjusted my body quite frequently in the beginning. When I encountered any bodily discomfort, I did not think whether it was arranged by the old forces or if I had a loophole. I already knew that Master said cultivators have no illness, so I definitely had no illness. I fully gave myself to Master.
I had a fever and cough that lasted over 20 days. As it became worse, my mother-in-law suggested that I take medication and then after the sickness is gone, I could continue my practice. I told her and my husband that they did not need to worry about me.
Master said: “True cultivators have no illnesses, ...” (Explaining the Fa for Falun Dafa Assistants in Changchun)
My respiratory problems were resolved, although I still had a few cough attacks. Since my daughter had to go to school the next day, and my father-in-law to work, I told Master that coughing like this would affect others’ sleeping. The coughing stopped.
Dafa Granted Me Endless Wisdom
Master told us:
“I think that at the tourist sites, you should not take quitting the Party or the Young Pioneers, or the “three withdrawals” itself, as your goal. Remember, everyone, you are to have clarifying the truth and saving people as your goal!” (“Fa Teaching at the 2016 New York Fa Conference”)
I have been clarifying the truth about Falun Gong by calling people on my cell phone for a few years.I now realize I need to change my opening phrase to make more people aware of the facts.
I would say: “Hello, have you ever seen the words ‘the CCP is doomed by heaven;’ ‘Do the three withdraws to stay safe,’ written on paper money or on the wall? You may not have understood why. It is because the CCP tightly controls websites and the media, so we have only this outlet to tell you the facts. That is also why I call you today, to quit the CCP and to explain why heaven will eliminate the CCP.”
I then provide additional information about Falun Gong. I also say that when traveling overseas, one will find practitioners talking about Falun Gong at many tourist spots.
I once spoke with a man from Hunan Province. I could not understand his dialect but he could understand me. He quit the CCP after listening to me.
Questions by ordinary people used to bother me. But, now I no longer argue with the person. I just focus on telling the facts about Dafa and the persecution. Dafa has granted me the wisdom to talk more eloquently.
My third eye is blocked, so I never see any spectacular scenes in other dimensions. But, I believe in Master and the Fa wholeheartedly.
