(Minghui.org) In 2008, I heard about Falun Dafa with my friends and became interested in it. I read Master Li's teachings and started to cultivate.
After three months of studying the Fa and doing the exercises, all my ailments disappeared, and I became very relaxed. I was excited to tell my friends that my back did not hurt anymore. I used to lie down as soon as I got home, but now I can run very far without getting tired. I can also read without glasses, even very small print. I became confident instead of feeling inferior, and I am in a good mood all day.
My husband thought it was miraculous. My son was also very happy to see how healthy I was. Dafa gave me a healthy body and a positive attitude. I wanted to share the magic and beauty of Falun Dafa with others.
At the supermarket, I went up to a lady buying lychees and began to tell her about Falun Dafa and the persecution. I told her about the tremendous physical and mental improvements I experienced after I started to cultivate, how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) slanders Falun Dafa, that people practice Falun Dafa all over the world, and why it was important to withdraw from the CCP's organizations.
She listened to me very attentively and told me her husband was a Party official. When I talked about how to avoid karmic retribution for the crimes the Party has committed, she stood up straight and respectfully and solemnly told me that she wanted to quit the Party and choose a better future for herself and her family.
It seems that people are yearning to be saved. They understand that Falun Dafa is good and know that it is here to save people. I believe it was Master's compassion that touched her. Actually, everything has been prearranged by Master; we just need to carry it out.
One morning I went out to put up truth-clarification stickers so that people on their way out to do their morning routines would see them and learn the truth. Someone leaving a residential building saw one and told me to peel it off. I said I wouldn’t and asked him what he thought was wrong with Falun Dafa. Just then, a woman came up and asked him what was going on, and he said there were stickers about Falun Dafa.
The lady surprisingly said, “Let's go. Just leave it.” I asked her if she knew the man, and she said he was her relative. When I asked her if she knew about Falun Dafa, she said she did, so I said, “Please tell him not to peel the stickers off. It is a way to spread the truth about Falun Dafa so that more people can be saved.”
In time I learned that this man repaired cars at the gate of the building courtyard, so I used the excuse that my flooring at home needed repair to speak to him. He recognized me and seemed very calm. He advised me about the best glue for my floor and where to buy it. I thanked him.
A few days later, I went to clarify the truth to him, and he listened very carefully. He quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations and accepted the Falun Dafa materials.
People typically do wrong things out of ignorance, but once they learn the truth, they will choose a better future for themselves!
I was sent to a forced labor camp for one year. After I returned home, I went to see him again. He greeted me enthusiastically and said that he had not seen me for a long time. I asked him if he had seen any more truth-clarification materials. He said, “You weren't here, so who would give them to me?” The next day I went to give him the few truth-clarification materials I had. He eventually said he wanted to read Zhuan Falun. I gave him a DVD player and an exercise instruction disk.
On my way home one day, I saw someone selling dates. I thought he might be predestined, so I wanted to clarify the truth to him. As I talked, I looked at his dates. They were not very good and seemed rotten, but I still bought some. The man happily withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
After I returned home, I put the dates on the table. A few days later, my husband asked me to make porridge with the dates. I thought they were probably completely bad by now, and there was no way we could eat them. But I grabbed a handful and discovered they were good. I thought that was very strange, so I grabbed another handful, and they were good, too. All the dates in the bag were good. I thought this must be encouragement from Master. Once again, I witnessed the miraculous, extraordinary nature of Dafa.
All of this happens under Master's compassionate care and protection. It is fundamental to study the Fa well. Otherwise, one will be prevented from effectively clarifying the truth.
When I was illegally detained in a detention center, I suggested to a goodhearted prisoner, "Sincerely repeat, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’” I told her that, if she did, gods would protect her when disaster comes. She followed my suggestion and repeated the phrase word for word. She then asked me if I needed her to pass on any messages to another practitioner. I was moved that she did not fear the evil in such an environment.
Master said,
“Then which beings are to be cherished during the Fa-rectification period, this critical point in history? Those with full confidence in Dafa and with corresponding actions; these lives are precious. So I feel that whether you look at this from my perspective or in the context of Dafa disciples' responsibilities, we all have this duty and should take up this task.” (“Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital” from Teaching the Fa at the Conference VIII)
Another girl sat in the double-lotus position like me and repeated, "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." She said she saw the roof was open and could see the sky. I deeply felt that Master is everywhere!
The first time I was persecuted, the forced labor camp was renovating rooms. In the chaos, it was easy for me to go around unnoticed. In the many classrooms, I saw books that slandered Dafa with Master's photo in them. I tore out the photos, tore up the books, and threw them in the trash. I would not allow them to poison anyone else.
I also took every opportunity to clarify the truth to inmates and help them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I told them about experiences of those who benefited after learning the truth and that evil deeds will meet with retribution.
During the years of persecution, Falun Dafa practitioners have continued to protest the mistreatment and stop evil deeds, which greatly changed the environment in the labor camp. Inmates seemed to sense Dafa disciples’ sincerity and kindness, and the camp officials' attempts to use labor camp inmates to persecute Dafa disciples failed.
Once, when I was clarifying the truth to a woman at a snack bar, a man came out of nowhere and said he was going to report me. He started to make a phone call to report that I was handing out Falun Dafa disks. As I held the thought in my mind that the call would not go through, I told him, “I brought a DVD about traditional Chinese culture. Don’t you want it? If Chinese people won't look at something about their own heritage, what will they watch? It’s really good.” He hurriedly picked up the disk and went into another room to play it. I thanked Master in my mind for clearing out the evil factors behind him.
A few years ago, fellow practitioners said that a lot of posters that slandered Master and Dafa had been put up in a nearby school. They wanted to see the posters for themselves, but the guard would not let them in.
When I heard this, I went to the school on my own. The guard did not stop me, and I saw over a dozen posters aimed at poisoning the students. I sent forth powerful righteous thoughts that the posters would be removed.
I went home to make some truth-clarification posters. That night I put up over a dozen posters on the walls of the school and asked Master to help clear away the evil there so those students could be saved. When I went to the school the next day, the slanderous posters had all disappeared. I was grateful for Master’s help and encouragement! From then on, I went there to distribute truth-clarification materials many times.
Once, as I was helping other practitioners put up truth-clarification messages, the police discovered us. An officer said, “Where did they go?” We were only a few meters away, but they could not see us.
What was more amazing was that a practitioner had lost his phone and could not find it after retracing his steps several times. After he returned home, he found it in the pocket of his vest. But he had not worn the vest, so the phone had followed him home!
