(Minghui.org) My daughter took part in the exams to become a court clerk. She passed both the oral and written tests, but was blocked at the background check, because I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. She and her husband did not know what to do and discussed the issue with me. I thought: “Dafa practitioners are here to save sentient beings.” I told my daughter, “Don't worry. Let us find a way.”
My son-in-law suggested that we talk to an uncle of theirs, who works at the police department. The uncle said to them, “Would your mother write a pledge not to practice Falun Gong?” They left without saying another word. I said to my mother, who is also a practitioner, “Let’s send forth righteous thoughts. Let Master take care of it.”
My daughter went to the police station the next day, and applied for the background certificate for herself. She submitted it to complete her job application at the court and was accepted. Both my daughter and I knew it was Master who helped us.
Things Will Be Fine If One's Righteous Thoughts Are Strong
On Falun Dafa Day last year, I first went to our group Fa study. Then I went out on a bike to distribute fliers and posters. I had no fear, as I sent forth righteous thoughts along the way. I felt Master was right beside to me. On the way home, I sent forth righteous thoughts to ensure that the posters would not be taken down by people. We wanted to assure that they do not commit crimes against Dafa. When I got to the village entrance and tried to turn my bike light off, I found the light had been off the whole time. Yet the streets seemed so bright. I felt grateful that Master had taken care of me at all times.
Now, thinking back over my cultivation, I regret that I was not very diligent when I first began to practice Falun Dafa. My health improved after I began to practice Dafa. At that time, my husband worked temporary jobs out of town. I took care of all the work on the farm. So I assumed then that cultivating meant doing more work.
I stumbled badly in 2016 and realized the importance of cultivating oneself. Aside from the work in the field, I needed to take care of my two grandsons. I squeezed time from sleep to study the Fa, and did not waste any time. I listened to experience-sharing articles when eating my meals. Sometimes I swept floors with a bun in my mouth. Sometimes I started my morning exercises at 2 a.m.
I went out of town on my bicycle on August 16, 2021, and met two village officials at the village exit. One of them asked, “Where are you going? A vehicle will be coming this way.” Before I had a chance to respond, the other said, “It is okay. Why don’t you go?”
I returned home after I visited a fellow practitioner. My daughter told me, “The village officials and the police came and asked where you were. They asked many questions and said they would come back again the next day.” My husband and daughter wanted me to leave home to avoid persecution. They were frightened by the ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa. I said I would go nowhere. The next day I sent forth righteous thoughts each hour on the hour. No one showed up. Later, I met a village official. He told me the police decided that they did not need to visit me any more.
Indeed, as Master said:
“...Disciples’ righteous thoughts are strongMaster has the power to turn the tide”(“Master-Disciple Grace” in Hong Yin II)
I will work hard in order to repay Master’s compassion and for the suffering to save sentient beings.
