(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Benevolent Master has protested me on my cultivation journey, and I cannot express my gratitude to him enough.
Reborn after Cultivating
My husband was a taxi driver. He started practicing Dafa before me. He had more energy and was better able to control his temper. I thought the exercises he did were unusual, but I really liked listening to the music. After he went to work, I turned on the exercise music and listened to it. The more I listened, the more comfortable I felt and the more I liked to listen. After playing the music for a few days, there were obvious reactions in the parts of my body where I’d had issues before. The symptoms seemed to be the same as before, but they were no longer as painful, so I could eat and sleep and soon got better.
I told my husband about it, and he responded, “You have a predestined relationship with Dafa. Master is purifying your body. Come and listen to Master’s lecture with us tonight.” That was how I started practicing Falun Dafa in March 1997.
I didn’t have a chance to go to school and was illiterate. I started going to the group practice site every day to listen to Master’s lectures or listen to other practitioners read the Fa. I thought what Master said was really good, but I couldn’t recognize a word in the book Zhuan Falun, so I had to listen carefully for fear of missing a word.
One day, the assistant asked me, “Do you want to study the Fa?”
“Yes, but I don’t have a book,” I replied.
He gave me a copy of the precious book Zhuan Falun and said, “When we read the Fa, you can follow along.” I followed silently as they read. I wished I could read the Fa fluently!
Every time I returned home after group Fa study, I tried to recite the Fa I had just learned and asked my husband if there were any words I didn’t read correctly. Eventually I could read most of the book.
My husband went to work one day, and I was studying the Fa at home alone. Suddenly, all the characters in Zhuan Falun started to glow. Most of them were blue and yellow, bright and soft, and all the characters danced. It was so beautiful. I knew that it was Master encouraging me. Since then I have been more diligent and held myself to the standards of the Fa.
I can now read all of Master’s lectures and Minghui Weekly.
After practicing Falun Dafa for a short period of time, my health problems, such as gastroptosis, gynecological disease, tracheitis, and osteomyelitis, disappeared. I was really reborn. Dafa is amazing!
Nothing Can Stop Me from Saving Sentient Beings
My husband and I both practiced Falun Dafa and helped each other. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution of Dafa in 1999, my family suffered a lot. I was arrested four times, and my husband was sent to a forced labor camp twice, for over three years. At that time, he had just bought a new car for his taxi business, but he was arrested and taken to Shizishan Forced Labor Camp in Wuhan City. Our son had only been driving the car for two days before the head of the police station confiscated it. The police chief was a relative. He was active in persecuting Dafa and was later promoted. Later, he was arrested and prosecuted and become a victim of the CCP.
When my husband returned from the labor camp and went to the police station to get his car, it was a heap of scrap. Our family’s financial situation was very difficult during those years.
Although the tribulations were huge, I was always grateful to Master, and my mind was at peace. I never stopped studying the Fa and went to the Fa-study site regularly every week. I took fame and gain lightly, did the three things Master asked us to do and tried to do well what I should do.
In 2016, my husband, who had been severely persecuted for many years, passed away. We held the funeral at home. Men he’d been in the military with and some of our relatives besieged me, saying that my husband should not have practiced Falun Dafa.
There were many people and it was chaotic. I just briefly clarified the truth about Dafa to them. Afterward, I thought that I didn’t explain it well enough, so I went to each family later to explain more clearly. I told them that Dafa is great, that Master is merciful and purified us, and that Dafa has spread to over 100 countries worldwide. My husband used to be a diligent practitioner, but, later, because the CCP persecuted him so relentlessly, he became physically and mentally damaged. The police kept looking for him, and he wasn’t able to study the teachings and do the exercises regularly due to the intense pressure, which resulted in his death. Our relatives and his military buddies understood.
One day in June 2019, at around 3 p.m., I went out to hang up truth-clarifying banners. At an intersection, I saw a big iron frame, perfect for hanging a banner that many people could see. But there was a big light shining on it, and a surveillance camera pointing at it. I sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master to strengthen me. I said to the camera, “Surveillance cameras are for monitoring bad people. I am saving people, which is the most righteous thing, and no one should interfere. Camera, I hope you have a good life and a good place in the future.” I tied the banner to both sides of the frame. Miraculously, there was no one in sight as I did. I knew Master was by my side.
I was putting up informational materials in July 2019, when a patrolman on a motorcycle spotted me and called in three police officers. They put me in a police car.
I was taken to a detention center, but I was not scared. I thought, “Since I’m here, let me do the exercises.” There were all kinds of people detained there. I cared about them in every way, solved their problems, clarified the truth to them when the opportunity arose, and helped them to quit the CCP. They were interested in Dafa and often bombarded me with questions. I answered them all. A few people asked me to show them the exercises, so I did. I also told them, “Falun Dafa has miraculous effects on healing and fitness. It has spread to over 100 countries around the world. Only the CCP is persecuting Dafa.”
I told them how Dafa teaches people to be good and that, “If you had understood the truth of Dafa earlier, you would not be in here today.” Many of them were emotional and said that they should have met me long ago.
The day I was released, the officers told me to sign their documents and give my fingerprint. I refused. A senior officer pushed me and threw my shoes and socks into the yard. I said calmly, “I have not committed any crime. Of course I will not sign your documents. You arrested me and put me in here. Everyone has seen what you did to me. How can you treat a good person like this?”
The officer muttered: “Get out!” I didn’t cooperate with them and walked out with my head held high.
This time, I was illegally detained for 15 days and helped over a dozen people quit the Party.
Master Saved Me One More Time
Last year, after a senior practitioner and I had pasted truth stickers in a railway tunnel, I was riding my bicycle along an embankment, when I suddenly lost control and fell into the water 30 meters below. Although I went under, I was still conscious. I begged Master to save me. I heard the other practitioner say, “You must believe in Master and the Fa!” I could feel her dragging me over to the bank. I could hear everything she said, but I couldn’t speak.
I don’t know how long it took before I could finally open my eyes, but the other practitioner said, “You are alive! When you were in the water, your head was caught between two big rocks. If not, you would have been washed away.”
I knew that Master had saved me again, and tears of gratitude streamed down my face. When I got home, I noticed that I was covered in bruises. I thought, “I want to recover as soon as possible so that I can go out to save people and fulfill my mission. I strengthened my Fa study, did the exercises, and sent forth righteous thoughts every day. I was fully recovered in eight days and went out to clarify the truth.
Fa-rectification is moving forward fast, and time is very tight. The world is full of turmoil and temptation, but I won’t pay attention to it. I only follow Master’s requirements. I will try to arrange my time better, balance the relationship between family and cultivation, and do the three things well with a pure mind to repay Master!
