(Minghui.org) Having practiced Falun Dafa for 20 years, I am often deeply moved by Dafa's profound principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They have not only brought positive changes to me, but have also benefited many people around me.
Taking Up the Practice
One day in July 1996, I fainted and my husband sent me to a hospital. My mind was clear but I was unable to speak. Upon leaving the hospital and heading back home, I saw the doctor talking with my husband and giving him a small package.
Several days passed, but I was still physically weak. Curious about what the doctor had given my husband, I got out of bed and took a look at the package. It was a book called Zhuan Falun. I spent rest of that day reading the book and enjoyed it very much. Furthermore, I felt great and became energetic. Not only was I able to walk around in the apartment, I even rode a bike to go shopping for my son.
This is how I began to practice Falun Dafa.
Considering myself a Dafa practitioner, I always did my best to cultivate myself and help others. When I had a job doing janitorial work in a hospital, I worked well with the doctors and nurses. I also helped patients and guided visitors who came to the hospital. Although it was only a temporary position, both the patients and hospital staff appreciated me very much.
Most Trustworthy Person
Later, I took a job as a housekeeper for a college professor in Qingdao, Shandong Province. He was from South Korea and hired a local Chinese person, a woman in her 30s, as a translator.
My duties included cleaning, shopping grocery, and cooking. I was also responsible for dropping off and picking up clothes at a laundromat. In the beginning, my boss did not trust me and often abruptly came back during the day while I was working. After a few weeks, he realized that I am a trustworthy and reliable person. He no longer came back during work time, nor did he check how much money I spent on grocery shopping. Upon hearing that I practiced Falun Dafa and followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, he told me, “You are the most trustworthy person I have met.”
Very often he and his family went out for dinner with friends, many of whom were professors from South Korea, Russia, the U.S. and Canada. He invited me to join them and told his friends that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. He said, “The practice is very good and she does meditation for a long time every day. ”
In my spare time, I often took a bus to distribute Falun Dafa materials or talk to people about the persecution. The professor supported this and reminded me to pay attention to safety because of the harsh persecution going on.
An Experiment
The professor's area of study focused on spirituality and the mind and body. He had a piece of equipment that measures a person's spirituality. Most people have results of about 200, his translator's was 700, and the professor's was 800. He said Jesus would have been expected to have a number of 1,200. They occasionally asked me to take part in tests with them, but I felt that it involved the issue of “no second cultivation way,” so I always refused to do so.
Once, the professor teased me, saying that if I refused again to take part in his study, my value would be 200. Later that day, I looked at Master's picture in Zhuan Falun and said, “Master, I have no intention to show off. But to help them understand what Falun Dafa is, please forgive me if this is something inappropriate.”
Returning to the professor and his family, I explained to them I would take part in the test, in the hopes that the result would help them know more about Falun Dafa. Part of the instrument included a small weight attached to a string. When I held the instrument, the weight started to spin so fast that it became almost invisible, and the reading was beyond the range of the instrument.
Seeing a result much higher than than they thought even Jesus might have, everyone was stunned. I explained to them I am a just an ordinary practitioner—it is Falun Dafa that really uplifts practitioners' mind and heart nature.
Epilogue
That experiment completely changed everyone's attitude towards me. The translator, who never let me touch her bed or personal belongings in the past because she had an obsession with germs, now often dragged me to her room hoping my energy would “protect” her.
Later the professor got a new position and he and his entire family were going to relocate to Canada. “I hope you can go with us, because I could never find another person as good as you,” he said to me. However, because my son was soon to get married and there were many tasks for me to handle, I thanked him and turned down the offer.
I was happy that everyone in his family, as well as the translator, knows that Falun Dafa is good. The professor also took a copy of Zhuan Falun with him, saying that he would contact practitioners in Canada.
Later, during a video chat with the professor's daughter, she told me with excitement that the family had seen a Shen Yun performance in Canada. “You won't believe it—it is so good! I hope you can come and see it with your own eyes,” she shared.
At that moment, I fully realized that it is so fortunate for me to be a Falun Dafa practitioner, as it has brought blessings to so many of us.
