(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) in 1996. Over the past two decades that I have cultivated, I have endured hard times and sadness. I have also experienced joy and happiness when I overcame tribulations. Along the way I have witnessed the extraordinary power of Dafa. I would like to share some of these experiences.
A Warm Current Flowed Through Me
I arrived at our group exercise site one morning in the fall of 1997 and suddenly felt a warm current flowing down from my head throughout my entire body. I felt very warm and comfortable. I mentioned to the others that it was a warm morning, but no one responded because it was actually cold at the time.
Master Li, the founder of Falun Gong, talked about guanding in Lecture Four in Zhuan Falun:
“Guanding is a kind of reinforcing method for purifying and further cleaning up your body. One will go through guanding many times—your body must be cleansed at every level....”
“During sleep or at any other time, a warm current may suddenly come down from the top of the head and go through the entire body.”
When I read this section a short while later, I recalled the warm energy flow that I’d experienced earlier. I realized that Master had done guanding for me.
Yes, Master was helping me. He purifies my body and strengthens me so that I can move forward with confidence.
As we cultivate, merciful Master makes the air warm when we feel cold. When we are in danger, he resolves it for us. When we get lost, he guides us to the right path.
After the former Chinese dictator began the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, we helped to save people by distributing truth clarifying materials and posters in outlying villages at night.
One night in early fall, we went out to distribute materials house by house in a remote mountainous village about 30 miles away. The villagers live far apart. We had to slosh through creeks, tramp through woods, and climb over hills to get to their homes. The night was quiet, and people slept while we were busy distributing the materials.
It was past midnight when we took a rest at the top of a hill. We were chilly because we only had on light clothes and the night air was cold. As we walked down the hill, we all felt warm air blowing on us.
As I was wondering where the warm air was coming from, one of us exclaimed that it must be Master!
“Yes! It is merciful Master,” added another. “Master knows we are cold and is making the air warm for us.”
Indeed, we are not lonely because our great Master is always with us.
As I was taking packages of informational materials out of my pocket at night, I often saw a dazzling silver light and sometimes heard a faint sound. None of the others experienced anything like that, which prompted me to think deeply.
Prior to 2007, I was busy with my job and seldom participated in any Dafa activities. I only distributed informational materials in my spare time. I was cultivating on and off. My understanding of the Fa was clear sometimes, but fuzzy at other times.
I think Master must have been very worried about the state of my cultivation, so he allowed me to see and hear those things to strengthen me and encourage me to validate the Fa more diligently and to save more sentient beings who have been deceived.
