(Minghui org) As a new practitioner, I do not believe that I have done the three things well when compared with others. I am far from Master’s requirements. For this reason, I will try to catch up, become more diligent, help save more people, and return to my true self.
Passing the Test of Sickness Karma
I suffered from a variety of diseases before cultivation, such as headaches, stomach-aches, cholecystitis and gynecological disease. My life consisted of lying in bed all day.
My eldest sister, who has been practicing Falun Dafa for many years, recommended that I try the practice in 2005. At the time, I didn’t believe that Falun Dafa could cure my illnesses. Even so, my sister brought me the book Zhuan Falun. As soon as I opened the book, I saw numerous srivatsas flying out in all colors. Out of fear, I immediately closed the book.
I told my eldest sister what I had seen and she told me: “You have good inborn quality, and you should start cultivation practice right away.” On the same afternoon, my sister took me to a Fa-study group, which was over 30 miles away.
I stayed with this group for two days. Veteran practitioners taught me the five sets of exercises, and I also studied the Fa with them.
After returning home, I continued studying the Fa myself. I have understood that the real meaning for a person living in human society is to return to his or her origin. From the bottom of my heart, I made up my mind: “I have decided to learn Falun Dafa today.” Once this thought of mine came out, the pain in my body went away.
While studying Lecture Five, Master started to purify my body: For three or four days, I had chronic diarrhea. Upon seeing this, my family became worried, but I was not at all afraid and knew that I had no illnesses.
Although my symptoms were terrifying, I felt more and more comfortable. I did not eat anything for a few days, but I felt very strong. Since then, all my diseases have disappeared.
When I just finished practicing the exercises one morning, I saw a big Falun in various colors rotating in my room. Such magical scenes have appeared in my house on three occasions. I think this was Master's way of encouraging me and building up my confidence in cultivation.
I began to experience vaginal bleeding in the spring of 2009. This condition lasted for two years, and my weight dropped from 130 to 80 lbs. My youngest daughter had to quit her job due to her being worried about me.
Due to my lack of righteous thoughts, my daughter convinced me to go to a hospital for a biopsy. The doctor told me that I had “cervical cancer.”
This served as a big tribulation that tested my faith, so I awakened and tore up the laboratory test report. I believed in Master and the Fa.
But later on, I allowed my family to persuade me to return to the hospital for an operation. After the procedure, I was about to undergo my fourth round of chemotherapy when I had a third eye vision of a demon from hell saying, “You won’t come back if you do the chemotherapy this time.”
This statement was repeated several times. I then shared with a fellow practitioner who said: “It might be a hint given by Master. You cannot do this chemotherapy anymore.” Finally, I told my family that I refused to do the chemotherapy.
It was at this time that my eldest daughter had a dream: A woman in an ancient costume told her: “Your mother’s illness cannot be cured in the hospital. Only by practicing Falun Dafa can she recover.” In this way, she came to understand that I didn’t need to do the chemotherapy.
I thought that it was Master who would decide if I lived or died. After that, I was getting better and better by the day.
Master purified my body once again in the spring of 2011. On that day, all our friends and relatives came to my younger brother’s house for dinner. I suddenly had a massive hemorrhage. My face turned pale, and everybody was frightened. My youngest sister even fainted. At this time, it was only my eldest sister who was constantly encouraging me and asking Master to save me.
I also firmly believed in Master.
Although I lost a lot of blood, I was not afraid and knew this was Master who was purifying my body. I refused to go to the hospital and went directly home.
Unexpectedly, I immediately recovered. My story spread in the village where my younger brother lived, and the villagers all felt this was a miracle.
I went to his village later on to clarifying the facts to people. The villagers who I spoke to all quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
When passing through tribulations, I have fully realized that I should firmly believe in Master and the Fa. If I felt very uncomfortable, I would recite: “When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.”（Lecture Nine in Zhuan Falun})
Treating My Family with Kindness
Before practicing cultivation, I was a person who never forgave others when wronged. Now, however, when my eldest daughter is having an argument with her mother-in-law, I advise her to be respectful and then help her make amends. Both my daughter’s mother-in-law and son-in-law are now so grateful. They believe in Dafa and support my activity of clarifying the facts to people.
I had been living with my mother-in-law before practicing Falun Dafa. Our lives were filled with arguments. After we quarreled, my husband felt so embarrassed that he was not willing to go home after work. He said: “I cannot convince either of you to listen to me.”
After starting cultivation practice, I came to realize that the many years of conflicts between my mother-in-law and me was caused by my karma.
I also knew that my resentment toward my mother-in-law was not in line with the requirements of Dafa. After sharing with my fellow practitioners, I was able to eliminate my grudges. I won’t speak back anymore; instead, I always respond to her with a smile.
Since my mother-in-law became paralyzed, I have been looking after her. With gratitude, she told me: “You are really nice!”
A Few Stories About My Truth-Clarification
Upon seeing a nearly 60-year-old man standing at a bus stop one day, I walked over and clarified the facts to him. After I spoke a few words, he suddenly grabbed my hand, saying: “How dare you! You even dare to tell me about Falun Dafa. I work in the {{610 Office” While speaking, he showed me his ID. Upon hearing the facts about Falun Dafa his attitude changed.
I then continued telling him about why he should quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Finally, I asked: “Are you a party member?”
He answered: “I not only jointed the party, but also its affiliated organizations. Please help me quit all of them.” After that, he told me: “Please be more careful next time. You’d better tell one person about it each time. It is not safe when you clarify the facts to groups of people because there are many plainclothes police around.” He thanked me as he left.
A similar story took place at another bus stop. I walked over to clarify the facts to a man. He said: “You are bold enough to tell everybody about this. Do you know my job? I work for the police department.” I continued to talk to him about Falun Dafa and why he should quit the CCP. He agreed to quit.
For a period of time, I thought: “If only I could sit in a park clarifying the facts to people. Then in April 2011, I found work as a ticket collector for a park. With the thought of helping to save people, I sat at the doorway and told the facts to everyone who came to the park. With my efforts, many people from all over China quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
I recently was going out to clarify the facts with a fellow practitioner when my legs became stiff. I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts, saying to the evil factors interfering with me: “You should leave me quickly, or I will ask my Master to eliminate you!”
As soon as I said that, I felt that a being was running away from my body. Suddenly, I felt my whole body floating. The results of my truth-clarification on that day were so good that I persuaded over 10 people to quit the CCP within an hour. Upon witnessing this, the fellow practitioner was amazed and told me: “From a distance, I could see you floating like a fairy.”
In the past few years, I have never slacked off on Fa study; thus, I can promptly eliminate interference without being affected by sentimentality.
My youngest daughter is pregnant and currently living with me. Once, I was about to go out to clarify the facts when she lay in bed, saying: “Mom, please keep me company and don’t go out. You can go out again tomorrow.”
I then silently said: “Master, I must go out; otherwise more than 10 people who should be saved today cannot be saved. That means that these people will not have a good future.” After a while, my daughter said: “Mom, please go (and save people).”
From the Fa, I have learned that my children’s lives are similar to watching a video tape; we cannot put ourselves into the play and become too obsessed with them. Master said: “The great drama of thousands of years is like a dream. Don’t be too worried about the plot” (“Know Good From Evil” in Hong Yin III)
