No One Can Cultivate for Another

June 3, 2016 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China

(Minghui.org) I have practiced Falun Dafa for 20 years and have experienced the power of Dafa many times. Master, the founder of Dafa, said,

“Whoever cultivates benefits, and if a person doesn't cultivate he won't benefit--nobody can cultivate on someone else's behalf.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference”from Teaching the Fa at the Conference VIII)

Recollections from the Beginning of My Cultivation

By chance, I was able to watch Mr. Li Hongzhi's nine-day lecture in May 1996. The more I listened to His teaching, the more I wanted to hear. Unfortunately, I did not get to finish watching all of the lectures because of a prior commitment.

Despite having seen only part of the lecture series, I benefited from Dafa. During a trip to the mountains, most of the tourists stopped halfway up the mountain and then went back down, while I made it all the way to the top without feeling tired, even though I was in my 50s. I was surprised, because I normally could only walk a short distance, as my legs would feel heavy and swell up.

On a shopping trip, I was given a counterfeit 10-yuan bill in change and did not notice it until I got home. I left it on the table for one of my family members to use. Then I looked at Master's photo and he seemed to frown. That night, I dreamed that I had fallen into a dung pit.

Benefiting from Dafa

After I began practicing Dafa, a fellow practitioner said to me, “Why are you still wearing glasses? You have learned Dafa? Dafa is omnipotent.”

I decided to take off my glasses the next day, even though it felt uncomfortable. However, it did take a while before my farsightedness was corrected.

Now, my vision and hearing are still good even though I am in my 70s. People ask if I can read the small print in the newspaper. They are surprised when I tell them that I can even see the smallest print.

The right side of my face started to twitch in December 2015. This had happened before, but I did not truly look within. This time, my right cheek would twitch every five minutes, as though I was getting an electric shock. I also had difficulty eating and sleeping. I believed in Master and Dafa and didn’t acknowledge these happenings. I seriously looked within this time and the twitching disappeared within a month.
