(Minghui.org) Practitioner Ling was recently arrested and detained by the police. After being released, she wanted to write a solemn declaration to void the things she did and said that were disrespectful and not in accordance with the Fa.
She kept asking me, “Will Master Li still take me as his disciple? Will Master still take care of me? Can I continue to practice?”
I encouraged her, telling her that Master said:
“As your Master, I have never kept account of the wrong things you have done in your cultivation; I remember only the good things you have done and your accomplishments.” (“Pass the Deadly Test,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress Vol. III)
While sharing with Ling, I helped her write her Solemn Declaration. I asked, “You seem to say that you signed the documents denouncing Falun Dafa without seeing the content clearly? What did you think at that time? You should tell the truth when you write your statement.”
As soon as I said this, we heard a voice say, “Why was it? Find the reason behind it by yourself.” Both of us were taken aback. The voice sounded like Master’s when he was teaching the Fa.
We ran to the next room and checked the audio players. They were all turned off.
Ling said, “Maybe we heard wrong; maybe someone outside was talking or it came from a neighbor's TV.”
I said, “No, it was Master's voice.” Ling said in tears, “Does it mean that Master is still taking care of me and I have another chance to cultivate?”
I replied, “Master is so compassionate to us and doesn't want to leave any disciples behind. Just write your solemn declaration sincerely and do well in the future.”
We continued to share from different perspectives. Afterward, I helped Ling look for the fundamental attachments that led to her to sign the documents.
I asked, “You refused to sign at the police station and in the detention center for seven days. Why did you sign in the end? What was the attachment that you couldn't let go of?”
Ling said, “I was afraid they wouldn't let me go home if I didn't sign.”
“As a practitioner, you just want to heal illness and keep fit ...” Master's voice came again from the room with the players. We both exclaimed “Master!” and rushed into the room.
We took a closer look again and confirmed that the three players were all off. Ling cried out, “I know now Master sees my attachment that has been deeply hidden. I have always wanted to have good health and live a comfortable life.
“I didn’t put the Fa in a primary position. Even when I went out to clarify the truth, I wanted to use Dafa for personal benefits.”
I was excited for her, and my heart was pounding. I asked, “Do you believe it was Master’s voice? We cannot imagine how much Master cares about us!”
I then recalled the miraculous experiences I’d had in the past. I usually started to practice the exercises at 3:50 a.m., and one day in 2012, it was almost time to get up, but I was still asleep.
Suddenly, from the audio player on top of the closet, I heard Master’s booming voice: “The first exercise, the Buddha shows a thousand hands ...”
My husband and I looked at each other and were at a loss. He asked, “Did you turn it on?”
“No,” I said, “I was woken up by the voice just like you.” He said with a stern expression, like a soldier giving an order, “Falun Dafa is really extraordinary. What a great practice! You should get up and do the exercises right away!”
I sued Jiang Zemin in 2015 and was busy with a lot of things. I felt tired when I went to bed, and it was hard for me to get up early in the morning.
When it was time for the exercises one morning, I reached out, pressed the snooze button, and fell asleep again. When the alarm went off again, I pressed snooze again.
When it went off the third time, I simply turned it off and went back to sleep. At that time, I heard Master calling me, “So-and-so (my name), get up and do the exercises!”
My husband pushed me all of a sudden and said, “Get up and do the exercises. Your Master is coming!” I woke up and hurriedly got dressed to do the exercises.
I said to Master in my heart, “I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will no longer be lazy.”
My husband said admiringly, “Such a miraculous practice! When you forget to do the exercises, your Master calls out to you. You have to practice well! If you become a Buddha, I want to benefit, too. Keep the alarm clock farther away from you and let it keep ringing.”
My husband knows the truth about Falun Dafa but hasn’t started to practice yet. After experiencing these two miraculous things, he has supported Dafa even more.
He would offer us help whenever we held Dafa activities. After my mother, also a practitioner, died of illness karma due to the persecution she suffered, her family told me not to go out to validate the Fa.
My husband then told them about the miraculous things he had personally experienced and asked them to support me instead of pressuring me.
When I shared these experiences in the Fa-study group in the past, some practitioners cautioned, “Don't rely too much on these things. Sometimes they may be illusory.”
Ling also suggested that I be careful not to be distracted by them. But this time, she said with gratitude, “Master is really watching over us and is always by our side. Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” She knelt on the sofa, tears streaming down her cheeks. I was moved to tears, too.
I wiped away my tears and suggested we burn some incense for Master. When we knelt in front of his image, Ling said solemnly, “Let me light the incense. I thank Master for pointing out my biggest attachment today. I still didn’t realize that I did not put Dafa in the primary position!”
Ling then pressed her palms together in front of her chest to show respect. We both shed tears and said in unison, “Master, please rest assured, starting today, we will truly cultivate ourselves and believe firmly in you and the Fa!”
As I wrote this, the manuscript was wet with tears. No words can possibly express my gratitude for Master’s benevolent compassion and salvation!
When I finished, I heard Master say, “I hope that both veteran and new practitioners will be able to practice cultivation in Dafa and succeed in it!” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
