(Minghui.org) According to Shuti Jia Jing, there was a court official in the ancient kingdom of Tianzhu called Shuti Jia, who was even wealthier than the king. His palace was made of silver, the floor was paved with crystal, his bed was made of gold, and the halls were brightly lit by moon pearl chandeliers.
It took the king two months to finish touring Shuti Jia’s splendid palace and gardens, and he couldn’t help but wonder how Shuti Jia got to live in a palace that was even more magnificent than his own. So the king and Shuti Jia decided to go visit Buddha Shakyamuni for answers.
“A long time ago,” began the Buddha, “a salesman ran into a sick monk in the mountains. He took pity on the monk, and built a shelter for the monk to protect him from the elements. He also gave the monk some tools that would help him survive.”
“That salesman was Shuti Jia, and that sick monk was me. Shuti Jia’s kind actions in the past built up great virtue and gave him the right to enjoy wealth and honor in this life.”
People have always longed for a life blessed with longevity and wealth. Throughout history, they understood that the way to such a life was to show kindness and help other people. They maintained faith in the divine and respected their gods. In turn, they were rewarded with good fortune, salvation from danger and misfortune, and blessings for their children and grandchildren.
Stories of the kind and faithful being rewarded are still present today in China, where many citizens are blessed for helping persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners in their time of need.
Escaping Death Four Times
A Falun Dafa practitioner’s sister-in-law understood that Falun Dafa is a cultivation practice in the Buddha School that was being wrongfully persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). So she helped her family members hide their Falun Dafa books from the police, and also shared Falun Dafa flyers with her colleagues and helped them quit the CCP.
Her righteous behavior was rewarded. She was given a pay raise, and walked away unscathed from four major accidents.
Once, while riding a motorcycle on a rural dirt road, she made a wrong turn and the motorcycle rushed towards a large pit, as deep as a three-story building, with a pool of water at the bottom. When the front wheel of her motorcycle was already in the air over the edge of the pit, the motorcycle suddenly stopped.
As it turned out, the pedal board of the motorcycle got stuck in a pile of soil around the edge of the pit. Just like that, she avoided a life-threatening accident.
Another time, she and her motorcycle got caught on the side of a huge truck and got dragged off the road. She and the motorcycle fell into a two-meter ditch next to the road. Miraculously, she only had a scraped knee with a bit of bleeding and a big bump, but other than that, she was safe and sound.
In another incident, she and her motorcycle were pushed into a pit by a donkey cart. Again, she incurred no injuries except for some dirt on her clothes.
On another occasion, when she was walking down a street with her neighbor, they heard a loud noise from behind. They turned around and were shocked to see that a car had run into a big tree, which had split in the middle and fallen down. The trunk landed less than a meter from where they both stood.
Her neighbor was terrified and kept trembling.
“Don’t be afraid,” said the practitioner’s sister-in-law. “We are protected. We won’t be in any danger.”
As an ancient saying goes, “A good deed will bring you 100 blessings; a bad deed will cause you 100 misfortunes.” The practitioner’s sister-in-law escaped multiple dangers thanks to her kind acts in helping Falun Dafa practitioners and encouraging her colleagues to quit the CCP.
Xiaofeng the Golden Girl
Xiaofeng and a Falun Dafa practitioner are good friends. The two of them grew up in the same village and were as close as sisters. Later, Xiaofeng got married and moved to a seaside fishing village.
One day in 2003, Xiaofeng heard that her friend had been illegally detained and persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa, and wanted to help. So she traveled a long distance to the public security bureau of the county that her friend was living in, and asked to speak with the officers. She hoped that she could persuade them to let her friend go home.
Although she wasn’t able to convince the authorities, her act of justice was rewarded by the divine nonetheless.
Once, Xiaofeng’s son got a bad case of food poisoning, and things were bad enough that his life was in danger. It was too late to take him to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Xiaofeng knelt on the ground and prayed to save her son. All of a sudden, she saw images of gods and Buddhas in the sky. They told her to squeeze juice from the root of a peach tree, and to feed her son the juice to save his life.
Xiaofeng immediately dug out the root of a peach tree outside her house, squeezed out the juice, pried open her son’s clenched teeth, and poured the juice down his throat. Not long after, her son regained consciousness and was back to normal, without any lingering side effects.
On another occasion, their village was hit by a typhoon, and all the houses made of metal sheets were blown away. However, Xiaofeng’s decades-old tile-roofed house remained intact, with not a single tile missing. The villagers said that Xiaofeng must have had divine protection.
“It’s Falun Dafa’s Master who protected my home,” she said gratefully.
Xiaofeng’s faith in Buddha and her kindness towards Falun Dafa practitioners eventually paved the way for her to become a practitioner later on.

A Wealthy Village CCP Secretary
The CCP secretary of a village knows that Falun Dafa is good from how the practitioners in his village behaved. They are always very kind to others.
He noticed that the female practitioners always treated their mother-in-law with respect and kindness. All of the practitioners he knew had a harmonious relationships with their spouses, and there is peace in their households. The practitioners always take the lead whenever there is something that needs to be done in the village, and because of them, the moral character of the entire village has changed for the better.
After the persecution started, the town government unlawfully detained the Falun Dafa practitioners in his village and fined each of them 5,000 yuan. After the officials from the town government left, the village secretary released the practitioners and returned the fines.
At that time, the village secretary was running a cold storage business, and his place was filled with potatoes, garlic, celery, and other vegetables. He made money off of whatever he stored and his business flourished.
Later, his family was able to build two buildings, and he now has three grandsons and a granddaughter. His household is very prosperous, and wealth keeps rolling in.
