(Minghui.org) I’ve practiced Falun Dafa for 16 years and experienced many tribulations, but passed them one after another. Every tribulation and improvement was the result of Master’s careful arrangements. I’d like to tell you how I clarified the truth and validated Dafa during the pandemic.
I worked for a construction company and managed a project in November 2022. The project just started and we did preliminary work on the model house. The supervisor made me responsible for quality assurance, signing contracts, and receiving materials. I tried my best to tell the workers and suppliers about Falun Dafa, the significance of quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and saying the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Another wave of the COVID pandemic broke out in mid-December. The manager was infected first. In the end, everyone in the office was infected, except me.
One coworker said in front of everyone: “I won’t wear a mask. I want to compete with so-and-so (referring to me).” He was infected the next day. When he came to the office, he told me, “I’m very ill, don’t get close to me. Falun Dafa is indeed powerful. It’s really amazing!” I told him not to worry, just say, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and he would soon be fine.
It was very hard for me when all my coworkers were infected with COVID, as I ended up having to do everything. The windows hadn’t been installed in the building yet, and it was very cold and windy.
The manager sometimes called me to do things that were urgent, while I was busy with something else. I needed to run back and forth and get signatures from six different departments when I bought materials. I was very tired one day, so I walked slowly. The manager saw me and said, “Are you goofing off walking so slowly?” I just smiled and thought, “I’m a cultivator and must maintain my xinxing,” so I did not say anything.
Another time, the manager urgently asked me to do something. This was after I had begun working on another thing he told me to do. As a result, the first matter was put aside and not done. The manager later said, “How can you forget the things I assigned you? We cannot work like this!”
Nothing that cultivators encounter is accidental. Maybe it was to help me improve my xinxing. I smiled and replied, “It is my fault. I will do it right now.”
When I was really tired, I recalled Milarepa’s cultivation story. I said to myself, “I’m a Dafa disciple and here to validate the Fa!” I became energetic right away and remembered what Master said, “Can’t you even get over this trivial thing? Everyone can make it.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)
I burst into tears. I realized Master is always by my side. Master knows everything and always watches over us disciples!
The manager later addressed me in public, “Falun Dafa is amazing; it is so powerful. So many people were infected, but you are fine despite the viruses.” He added, “You have a positive mindset. I’ve never seen anyone with such a good attitude as yours!”
I replied, “We practitioners all have a good mindset, and there are even better ones than me. Our Master requires us to be good people and follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
“You all know the facts about Falun Dafa, and you are all predestined to hear about Dafa. As long as you remember and say, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ sincerely, you will be out of danger.” They all agreed. I was very happy for them.
Three new workers arrived. After a few days of getting to know each other, I clarified the truth to them. “The pandemic is severe and there are so many natural disasters, I want to tell you a good way to keep safe without spending money.” They wanted to hear more.
“Let me tell you a story first. We have the custom of hanging mugwort leaves and calamus on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival to ensure peace. Legend has it that a kind person saw some people and he asked them what they were doing. They told him they were gods of the plague and were there to carry out orders to spread the disease. ‘(But) because you are a kind person, we were waiting here to tell you how to avoid it. That is, during the Dragon Boat Festival, you hang a few mugwort leaves and calamus on the door as a symbol, and the plague will not come to your house.’ Then they left. This person told everyone around him about it. Some people believed him and hung mugwort leaves and calamus on their doors. Others didn’t believe it, and they did nothing. When the plague came, those who hung mugwort leaves and calamus on their doors were fine. Those who did not were infected and many died.
“What does this story tell us? It says that when natural disasters come, God comes down to save people. Because of his mercy, he gives people another chance to choose salvation. It depends on whether you believe or not. If you believe, you will be saved. If you don’t believe, then that’s it! God does not force anyone.”
They all listened intently as I continued, “Now there are so many natural disasters and the plague is so serious. Can it be that the God of Plague is also executing his instructions to spread the disease? Is there a way to stay safe? Let me tell you, the solution is to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Youth League, and the Young Pioneers.
“Why? Because the CCP advocates atheism, it fights with heaven, and heaven is eliminating it. You raised your fist and swore an oath when you joined the CCP, and you vowed that you would fight for it all your life and dedicate your life to it. When you made this oath, it was emblazoned your right hand or forehead with the mark of the CCP. Your life belonged to it from then on.
“Now that God is about to eradicate it, you are in trouble. So we need to declare our withdrawal in our hearts. As long as you agree to quit, that’s enough because when a person has that thought, all of heaven knows it. In this way, you are no longer one of its people, and God will erase the CCP mark from you.
“You can choose to use your real name or a pseudonym. For your safety, I’ll give you a pseudonym to quit the Party and its youth organizations. I hope you will be healthier, and happier from now on. How about it?” They all agreed.
After they quit, I told them about the beauty of Dafa, and that Dafa asks people to follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
“Jiang Zemin (the former CCP leader) became jealous when he saw so many people practicing Falun Dafa.” I explained that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation was a hoax used to frame and slander Falun Dafa. I also gave them Falun Dafa amulets (symbols) and told them to remember to say, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ so they could be safe and have a good future. I was happy for them and thanked Master for saving them.
A foreman who learned the truth about Dafa and quit the CCP came to my construction site to move cement slabs. They used a trolley to pull more than a dozen slabs at a time. I was working on another floor and got a call, informing me that his little toe had been crushed.
I rushed over and saw that his toe was crooked and bleeding badly. He groaned in pain. I told him, “Don’t worry, it’s okay. Just say, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ in your heart.” I reported the situation to the supervisor and asked the foreman’s coworkers to carry him downstairs. I then took him to the hospital.
I asked him to recite the phrases on the way. He said he was in great pain and couldn’t do it. I said I would recite them with him. So I recited the phrases over and over again. His facial expression relaxed, and he began to recite the phrases with me slowly.
When we arrived at the hospital, he said the pain was gone. I told him to continue reciting the phrases as I went to register him. The doctor wanted him to be hospitalized, but then ordered an X-ray.
I kept reciting the phrases in my mind. The doctor said everything was fine after he examined the X-ray; it was just a minor fracture. The foreman was given an injection and medicine and the doctor said he could go home. While we waited, I took the opportunity to clarify the truth to the foreman’s coworker. He accepted what I said.
In the little time left for Fa-rectification cultivation, I must do better, listen to Master’s words, and be a true Dafa disciple. I shall fulfill my mission and go home with Master. Thank you Master!
