(Minghui.org) I moved to Japan in September 2005. In March 2006, while I attended a driving school, I read the book From Despair to Hope. I was deeply drawn to the amazing experiences of Falun Dafa practitioners who recovered from their illnesses after they began practicing. The driving instructor was a practitioner, and told us how she recovered from cancer after practicing—this sparked my keen interest in Falun Dafa.
She gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa. However, I did not read the book from beginning to end; instead, I selected specific chapters that resonated with me. I gained some understanding of what Falun Dafa is, and I grasped certain things related to human life and the significance of cultivation. However, I had not yet made up my mind to start practicing.
I returned to China to visit my family in 2008. My sister was preparing for an operation in a large hospital in the provincial capital, so I went there as soon as I got off the plane. I saw the corridors were filled with patients on IVs, and I overheard conversations about which patients had cancer and those who died. I thought, “Life is too painful. I want to practice Falun Dafa!”
The hospital ceiling was more than twenty meters high. I looked up and sincerely said, “Master, I want to practice. I don’t want to keep reincarnating.” I saw a flash from the ceiling that only lasted two or three seconds. I thought it was raining outside, but when I looked out, the sky was clear and the sun shone.
That night, I developed a fever. Because I had not studied the Fa yet, I did not know Master was eliminating my karma, so I thought I had a cold. My family told me to go to the hospital for a checkup, but I dare not go because I used to have chronic uterine bleeding, and I always had pain in my abdomen. The doctor said that this kind of condition is prone to uterine cancer. I was afraid the pain might be the cancer. I had a fever until the fourth day when it suddenly stopped. From that day on, I experienced the miracle of Dafa, and how wonderful it was to have an illness free body.
After I returned to Japan, I started practicing. I learned the five sets of exercises by looking at the photos in the book. Through my continuous study of the Fa and daily practice of the five sets of exercises, and by following the Fa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, all my illnesses gradually disappeared. I used to feel exhausted every day after work. I just wanted to lie down and do nothing. After I began practicing, I no longer felt tired after a long, hard day. I am grateful for Master’s salvation! I marvel at the miraculous and extraordinary nature of Dafa.
I once had a dream in which a giant hand removed two things from my abdomen, where I often had pain. They were two small animals, dark gray, 30 centimeters long, and as thick as my fist.
Master said,
“Let us talk about the most common illnesses. Somewhere in the body one may have a tumor, an infection, bone spurs, etc. It is because in another dimension there lies a being in that place. That being is in a very deep dimension.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)
I realized that these beings caused my abdominal pain. Since then, my abdomen stopped hurting.
Master said,
“Some people have asked me, “Teacher, you have taught us so many things and given us so many things—what do you seek?” I said, “I seek nothing. I am just here to save you. I just want to see you strive to become a better person and for you to be able to advance and improve yourself.” (Lecture Given at the Conference in Sydney)
When I read that part, I couldn’t help but cry. I didn’t understand why such a good master, such a good Dafa, was slandered and framed by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). I wanted to tell people what Falun Dafa is.
Clarifying the Truth to Chinese Tourists
My workplace was far from Tokyo, so I rarely met Chinese people. To help Chinese people understand the truth, I moved to Tokyo in 2013 and found two part-time jobs, one in the morning and one in the evening. I went straight to the tourist attractions to talk to Chinese tourists after my morning shift and then I went to my evening shift in the late afternoon.
Many Chinese tourists were brainwashed by the CCP and said we were paid to distribute materials. They often asked us, “How much does the U.S. pay you? How much do you earn per day?” Whenever I heard these lies spread by the CCP, my determination to tell the truth grew even stronger.
I had many attachments when I started talking to Chinese, especially a fighting mentality. I often argued with people who slandered Dafa, attacked Master, or mistreated us. When I returned home and measured myself against Master’s requirement of talking to people with compassion, I felt ashamed that I didn’t treat people with tolerance or compassion.
Later, as my understanding of the Fa deepened, I gradually understood that Falun Dafa is the true cultivation practice, and all sentient beings come here for the sake of the Fa. I understood the consequences for people who commit crimes against the Fa. I wanted to tell them the truth so they could make the right choice. As I continued to study the Fa and rectify myself, I became more compassionate when I talked to Chinese people, and more quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
However, as the number of people I advised to quit the CCP increased, I developed human notions and attachments, such as to showing off and jealousy. When I talked with the other practitioners, I always mentioned how many people I helped quit the CCP that day. It seemed I was only satisfied when I told others how much I did.
Master said,
“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
Master is saving all sentient beings. When I looked back, I felt ashamed.
As the Fa-rectification has reached the present day, and after Master’s article How Humankind Came To Be was published, I sense that Fa-rectification has come to its conclusion. In the time remaining, I hope to intensify my Fa study and deepen my understanding. I hope to improve myself to save more beings and live up to Master’s expectations for us!
