(Minghui.org) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for more than 20 years. I would like to report to Master and fellow practitioners about my recent cultivation.
A local female practitioner passed away last year. Her late husband, also a practitioner, died as a result of persecution when their son was an infant. Their boy, now 13 years old, is an orphan. Before the practitioner passed away, she asked a relative to take care of the boy. However, for some reason the relative couldn’t take care of him and decided to send the boy to his grandmother’s home, which is far away.
I relayed the boy’s situation to a practitioner friend of the boy’s mother, who lived in another province. The practitioner said that we should help the boy. She offered to provide some financial support, while I helped take care of him. I tried to look for a caregiver, but it became difficult because the boy was in a rebellious period, and he had many bad habits. I almost wanted to give up.
When I was doing the wheel holding exercise one day, I thought, “Maybe I should forget about it. Everyone says no, so I should not insist. Everyone has their own lives, maybe this is the boy’s life.”
At that moment a thought hit me: Save more people.
It opened my eyes. I became focused on the simple thought of helping the boy. His family had suffered so much under the persecution. As a result his relatives could not understand why they insisted on continuing to practice. Master told us to save more people. We should do it, and we can do it!
I also thought about going out to clarify the truth to save more people. I remembered a fellow female practitioner who was very experienced in clarifying the truth to people. She had been in another town working as a nanny for the past two years. With Master’s help, she soon moved back to our town. As soon as she settled down, I went out with her. I wanted to see how she clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to people.
To my surprise, she usually said only a few sentences to each person, and then the people agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. At first, I didn’t think she clarified the truth thoroughly.
Basically, she said to each person she met, “Here is an amulet for you to protect yourself. Please remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Falun Dafa is Buddha Fa. Many people in Wuhan who got COVID regained their health by sincerely reciting these two phrases.”
If the person accepted the amulet, she would continue, “There is another important thing: heaven will eliminate the CCP. Whoever joined the CCP, Youth League, or Young Pioneers will face catastrophe. Are you a CCP member?”
After the person answered, she would ask his or her last name, and then create a nice pseudonym for them. “I’ll list you as this name to quit the CCP. It’s okay to quit under another name. Buddha looks at one’s heart. As long as you quit the CCP from your heart, any disaster, such as floods and plagues, will not come to you. You will be safe.”
The person was usually very happy. When the person thanked her, she said, “Please thank my Master. It is my Master who asked us to save you.” She occasionally gave more details.
On our first day out, we helped five people to quit the CCP. Soon the number increased. Sometimes we helped dozens of people to quit the CCP in a single day.
At first, I thought what she said was too simple. However, I soon noticed that when she talked to people, she had no fear. Her facial expression was full of sincerity and compassion. I came to understand that it was not her words, but her sincerity and kindness that touched people’s hearts and disintegrated the evil. Thus, people were saved.
I also thought that local practitioners and I distributed truth clarification booklets, DVDs, USBs, and calendars in the area many times, so many people already understand the truth and were waiting for today to be saved. Our previous distributions of truth-clarification materials was like sowing seeds. Now it is time for the autumn harvest!
Once when I spoke to several farmers, one of them asked a lot of tricky questions, such as, “China is well protected from the pandemic now. Have you been vaccinated?” or “I’m not against the CCP because it pays my salary,” etc... I answered his questions one by one, reasonably and wisely. The person agreed to quit the CCP in the end. In fact, I don’t even remember what I said. Master gave me wisdom at the time!
One night, I dreamed about an old style garbage dump that was made of bricks and cement. It was filled with mud-like things. I was not thinking of anything when I passed the dump. Suddenly, a man took a shovel and shoveled the mud, so a gap appeared. I also picked up a shovel and shoveled the mud. The mud disappeared under my shovel. Several people started to stand up from the dump. I saw clearly that the back of one person was already clean, but there was still a thick layer of dry mud on his face and front. As soon as I patted his chest with my shovel, all the dry mud fell off his body. Only his face had some dust spots. I woke up. I understood that Master was encouraging me to save more people!
The next day, the fellow practitioner and I went out looking for people. We were riding our bikes. We did not see many people until we reached a peanut field. A group of people were picking peanuts. We each took an area and started to talk to the people one by one. Almost everyone we talked to agreed to quit the CCP organizations. We were picking up people and saving them, just like those people were picking peanuts one by one!
On the way back, we met another group of peanut pickers. Everyone we spoke to agreed to quit the CCP organizations. Later we saw a man and two women. The other practitioner went to talk to the man and helped him quit the CCP. I talked to the women and described how the CCP persecuted the Chinese people. When I talked about the Tiananmen Massacre, the women cried. That day we helped more than 50 people quit the CCP.
My niece was working in my area for a period of time and she came to my home for dinner every day. She usually came after 7 p.m., which sometimes interfered with my plans to go out in the evening. I thought, “On the days I need to go out to save people, she should not come.” It really worked. Whenever I needed to go out in the evening, my niece called in advance and said she had another arrangement and would not come for dinner.
One day, the fellow practitioner copied a list of names of people who had quit the CCP on a piece of paper. She put the list on the couch. It was a full page. Before we went out to save more people, I somehow had the thought, “I hope this list won’t be lost.” When we came back, the list was nowhere to be found. In the end, the practitioner picked the pieces of paper with the original names out of the trash can, and re-copied the names onto a new list. We did not find all the pieces, so some names got lost. I regret having that negative thought, which caused the negative outcome.
When I purchased an electric bike, the seller gave me only one key. I thought, “What if I lose the key? I should go and make a second key.” When I got home and wanted to use the bike that day, I could not find the key. I realized my earlier thought was not right. So I sent forth righteous thoughts, and used the telekinesis of moving objects to have the key re-appear. The key re-appeared.
I learned to keep my thoughts righteous. One winter day when I was riding my bike home, my hands were frozen and hurt. I told myself, “No, I’m not cold. It’s not cold at all!” Soon my hands no longer felt cold.
There was an experience with the orphan boy mentioned earlier in this article. In order to raise some money for heating, the practitioner and I did an occasional job cutting and hanging radishes. One Sunday, I asked the boy to come with us. I told him he did not need to do anything. I just wanted him to see the hardship in life. The boy refused to go with us and stayed home. As I was working, I began to worry about him, “He is home alone. Won’t he play video games the whole time?” Then a righteous thought came to me: “Master is watching him!” When we got home, the boy told us he felt he was reprimanded by Master. He said he now understood he should not do bad things.
I still have many human attachments, including some Party culture influence and selfishness. As a cultivator, I am determined to get rid of all attachments. When I noticed a trace of doubt about Dafa in my mind, I immediately grabbed it and eliminated it.
Master, I will continue to cultivate well and reach 100 percent purity. I will do my best in doing the three things and completing my mission!
