(Minghui.org) In 2011, I was suffering from a number of health problems, such as high blood pressure and cerebral arteriosclerosis. I sought medical help everywhere, but my health didn't get better and I was bedridden.
I lived in pain, and this caused my family stress and financial pressure. At that time, my sister, who is a Falun Dafa practitioner, helped me obtain a copy of Zhuan Falunand several copies of other lectures by Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa.
She used Master’s Fa principles to enlighten and help me. I studied the teachings and practiced the exercises, and within half a month, my illnesses disappeared.
From then on, I have been happy every day. I sincerely thank our compassionate and great Master for giving me renewed hope!
Overcoming a Family Tribulation
Master said:
“Today I can tell you this: your cultivation is absolutely not a personal, simple matter of reaching Consummation—your cultivation is saving the countless sentient beings in the cosmic body that corresponds to you and who’ve put infinite hope in you. The cultivation of you all is saving the sentient beings in every single gigantic cosmic colossal firmament.” (Teachings From a Tour of North America)
After several months of Fa study, I realized that we Dafa disciples have a great responsibility and shoulder the historic mission of helping to offer salvation to people. So I thought I should go out to validate Dafa and tell people the truth about the persecution.
I told my sister what I thought. She was very happy and supportive. That same day, she took me to the Fa-study group and shared my thoughts with other practitioners. Everyone was very supportive!
Another practitioner even agreed to take me out to talk to people in public—that’s how I learned how to clarify the truth.
Afterward, I normally studied the Fa in the morning, then went to the countryside with other practitioners to clarify the truth in the afternoon.
One day, my daughter asked me to come over for dinner. I thought this would be a good opportunity to clarify the truth. I took some pamphlets with me, and after dinner, I walked through the hallway of her building and put them on the doorknob of every apartment.
On the way home, I realized that this was the first time I’d given out materials by myself, and I was very happy.
Just then, my husband called. He started to scold me as soon as I answered. I was not moved. Then my daughter called me and did the same.
I was about to quarrel with her, but she hung up. At the time, I didn't know how to look inward, and I blamed my daughter for telling her father what I’d done.
The next day, I told my sister about the incident. She smiled and said, “Please don't blame them. They don't understand the situation. At the same time, they really care about you and fear that you might get into trouble. Nothing is accidental. You should communicate more with your husband.”
She reminded me that Master Li said: “For a cultivator, looking within is a magical tool.” ("Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference")
After calming down, I realized that, to prevent future interference on my path of cultivation, I should overcome this family tribulation. The first hurdle was my husband and then my children.
I decided to go back to my hometown where both my husband and I are from. He is a retired teacher, and after his father passed away due to illness, he took care of his family's rice field.
On the way, I begged Master for help to eliminate any interference. I wanted to have the final say on what I need to do and not have my husband interfere with me.
After I arrived and had lunch, I said to him, “Since we’ve been married, you have fulfilled all your responsibilities and obligations for this family and for our children, especially when I was sick over the years.
“You didn't sleep or eat well, sought medical help for me, and spent a lot of money. I remember everything. Today, I would like to say from the bottom of my heart, ‘Thank you!’
“But even though we sought medical help everywhere, nothing helped. After I practiced Falun Dafa, it was Master Li who gave me a second life.
“You know that Dafa is now being persecuted, that Master has been framed, and that people have been deceived and poisoned by Jiang Zemin's gangsters. Dafa practitioners are being discriminated against and persecuted by the CCP.
“As a Dafa disciple, if I only benefit from Dafa and hide at home to enjoy life without seeking justice for Master and Dafa, what kind of person would I be?”
He looked at me and said nothing, so I continued, “I was a little impulsive that night, but I was thinking of you and knew you would be afraid I might be arrested and the whole family implicated.”
He replied, “To be honest, since you began practicing Falun Dafa, our family has really benefited a lot. I know that. From now on, you have to be more careful and pay attention to safety!”
I was very happy to hear that. I assured him that I would be and thanked him for his support and understanding.
I finally convinced him. I knew it was Master who helped me pass this test. I have been given the best cultivation environment. Since then, without any trouble, I’ve been able to go out every day with other practitioners to clarify the truth. Thank you, Master!
On the Path of Clarifying the Truth
I once walked alone to a village near the center of the county to distribute pamphlets. Along the way, I asked Master to reinforce me, remove all interference, and eliminate evil factors within the [dimensional] field where Dafa disciples go.
I recited one of Master's poems:
"You resolved to save sentient beings,And assist Master as hejourneys this human world;Come now, and help me turn the Falun,When the Fa is fulfilled,Heaven and Earth will be yours to travel."(“Assisting the Fa,” Hong Yin, Translation version A)
This passage reinforced my righteous thoughts. I went to the construction site in the village, and everyone looked at me. I said, “Hello! I'm bringing you good messages! I am a Falun Dafa practitioner.”
Someone was muttering: “Isn't it forbidden to practice that?” In my mind, I immediately asked for Master's help to dissolve the evil factors and communist spectre that interfered with their hearing the truth.
At that time, I had no worries. I just wanted to clarify the truth to them. “Falun Dafa is a practice in the Buddha School and is guided by Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Cultivators have to correct their wrongdoings and emphasize virtue and kindness. You have all been deceived and poisoned by Jiang Zemin's rogue gang.
“They fabricated the Tiananmen self-immolation, have framed practitioners, and are harvesting organs from imprisoned disciples for huge profits. That is unacceptable! Heaven will deliver justice!”
I also talked about why everyone should withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They listened very carefully, and I knew that positive energy surrounded them.
All of them came over to ask for truth-clarification materials, and some of them quit the Party. I also told them to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” to keep safe.
They smiled and said, “Thank you! You must also pay attention to your safety.”
On another occasion, five of us went to a village to clarify the truth and hand out materials. When I was talking with a family, a police car showed up, and two officers came straight towards me.
I was stunned and immediately asked Master for help. I sent forth righteous thoughts and asked him to help remove the evil beings that caused the officers to interfere with sentient beings' hearing the truth.
When the officers asked what I was doing, I replied, “I am telling these people the truth.”
One of them said, “Come with us and tell us at the police station.”
I said, “Why should I go with you? I’m a good person. All of us who practice Falun Dafa are good people. We don’t steal, cheat, or do other bad things. We only focus on being good according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
“Why don't you go catch those corrupt officials and bad people who commit crimes and endanger society? You do not distinguish between good and bad, but persecute the good instead.”
By then, many people had gathered around, and the officers had nothing to say.
Having confiscated and read pamphlets from the other practitioners, one officer said, “Look, Zhou Yongkang is the secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Committee. What does he matter to you? What does Bo Xilai matter to you?”
I replied, “They are all culprits in the persecution of Falun Dafa. We are exposing the facts about how they have persecuted Dafa practitioners.”
He added, “Look at the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. You are against the CCP.”
I asked them, “Are you Chinese or a foreigner? The ancestor of the Chinese is the Yellow Emperor, while the ancestor of the Communist Party is Karl Marx. Whose descendant are you?”
With nothing to say, they just grabbed my hand and tried to drag me away. I said, “I won't go; don't persecute me.”
I denied it completely and decided I would not go anywhere, that I would only follow Master's arrangement.
In the end, they pulled me to the police car and tried to get me into it. At that time, I remembered what Master said: “...staying unmoved you would be able to handle all situations.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2014 San Francisco Fa Conference”)
I grabbed the window ledge of the car with both hands, and they couldn't move me. In the end, they got into the car without me.
One of them said, “You go home now!” I replied, “Yes, of course I will go home now.”
I let go of the ledge, and they drove away.
On the path of Fa-rectification cultivation, no matter what happens, as long as we think of Master first and ask him to reinforce our righteous thoughts, he will help disciples to escape safely.
In the future, I will study the Fa more, do the three things well, and fulfill the historic mission of a Dafa disciple.
