(Minghui.org) I am 66 years old and began to practice Falun Dafa in 1995. Due to the pandemic, our community was locked down in early 2020. To prevent people from leaving, the entry doors were nailed shut.
Practitioners discussed the situation. We decided to break up our Fa study group into pairs to distribute truth clarification pamphlets. We also divided up the 60 buildings in our community and allocated five buildings to each group. We also agreed to send more righteous thoughts at the top of each hour. Since we had more time, we also began memorizing and reciting Zhuan Falun.
I wasableto memorize two paragraphs each day, and I’ve now recited the entire book twice.
My Husband Changes
My husband is an honest and upstanding person. He takes good care of me and the family. However, I am the one who makes all the decisions.
He changed after the pandemic began. As the building supervisor, he was responsible for over 200 households. He was often on duty and urged me to implement measures for pandemic prevention.
As the pandemic wore on, he became increasingly uptight and began arguing with me every day. His health deteriorated. Medicine did not help, and he sighed all the time.
I looked inward and found my issues. I had been looking down on him for years. I felt he was narrow-minded and avoided responsibility.
I realized I was influenced by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) culture. I was loud and rough and liked to blame everyone else. I hung onto his minor flaws and often found fault with him, vented my jealousy, and was combative.
I did not truly care about his safety when I reasoned with him—I vented my anger under the guise of being good to him. The kindness I exhibited was fake.
I let out a long sigh when I thought about all this. I realized that it was my accumulated anger. I forced myself not to get angry when I fought with him, but the anger just accumulated. Master Li helped me let go my anger this time when my xinxing elevated.
I enlightened from the Fa that I should not fall for the old forces’ tricks and destroy my husband. I sent righteous thoughts to completely negate their arrangements and eliminate the poisonous substances and karma in our dimensional fields so that he could see the truth and be saved.
After sending righteous thoughts for a few days, my husband visibly changed. He stopped sighing all day long, and his health improved.
On the night of July 10, 2021, when I got home he said, “The neighborhood inspection team came. One of them grabbed me and whispered that you weren’t home. Then he scanned my cell phone and told the others on the team that we were okay and left. You are very lucky.”
I said, “It was all arranged by Master.”
The Pandemic Cannot Stop Us from Fulfilling Our Mission
I took care of my sister from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. But I used every opportunity to save people.
I took care of my sister from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. But I used every opportunity to save people. I went out in the afternoon to distribute flyers and pamphlets. There are 80 buildings in my sister’s district, and I visited two buildings a day. During the pandemic, they locked the gates tightly. I always started out by sending righteous thoughts and asked Master to strengthen me. The locks were usually open when I got there.
When I was on the sixth floor of one building, an elderly lady smiled at me. I smiled back and gave her a set of materials. She thanked me and said that she had been waiting for me. She then gave me a slip with the names of her four family members and asked me to help them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
She told me that they liked the pamphlets that I’d left last time. I told her this was the first time I’d been by, so other practitioners must have left the pamphlets. She wanted to thank us. I told her it was Master who did everything. I was truly happy that she could learn the facts about Falun Dafa.
Another time, I met an elderly man smoking in the stairwell who asked me why I was there. I said I was there to save people and gave him informational materials about the persecution. When I returned, he said, “I read them. You are a Falun Dafa practitioner. You guys are remarkable. Even though the pandemic is so serious and the regime suppresses you so, you still continue to save people. I admire you.” I then told him more about Falun Dafa and helped him quit the CCP.
Memorizing the Teachings Helps Me
I began to memorize Zhuan Falun when the pandemic began. I recited the teachings whenever I could—doing it even when I walked or was at work. I am now immersed in the Fa.
I’m able to compare my conduct and thoughts with the Fa and correct myself. I look inward all the time. New understandings kept emerging when I memorized; I also saw many deficiencies in the way I did things.
