(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa is a spiritual practice that was introduced to the public in China in 1992. I became an adherent in 1998 and have experienced many miracles over the years. Today, I would like to share two experiences with you.
Showing Compassion When Seeing Others Shortcomings
One day, when I was printing truth-clarifying materials, I noticed that some of the amulets were blurred and the images were double-printed (called ghosting). I was not happy and started to complain and criticize.
Just a few days ago, when I talked with a woman about the persecution of Falun Dafa, I gave her an amulet. She looked at it and said: “How pretty it is. How can it be made so exquisitely?” She was complimenting the beauty of the amulet from her heart. I feel it is important to make good-quality truth-clarifying materials, therefore, I pay attention to what the amulets look like.
When I saw these amulets, I was unhappy for a selfish reason. I couldn’t distribute them to anyone because they looked so bad. However, I didn’t want to waste them either, as I didn’t want to accumulate karma. Hence, I started to complain and criticize the practitioner: “What should I do? Why aren’t people more responsible? It is not respecting the Fa.” Just as I said this, I saw blank paper coming out of the printer. I was shocked and realized that I was wrong to criticize another person’s work.
I looked within and realized that I shouldn’t complain about fellow practitioners, so I immediately admitted my problem: “Master, I made a mistake. I can’t complain about another practitioner.” The printer immediately stopped shooting out blank pages and started working properly.
We cultivate Dafa (the Great Law) and so we should not be selfish. In addition, Falun Dafa disciples are one body and should collaborate and be compassionate toward each other.
I felt that I received a merciful hint from Master Li, the founder and teacher of Falun Dafa.
A Miracle Occurs When My Bike Collides With a Cab
One winter, as I was riding my bike on a street, a cab came out of nowhere and suddenly swerved towards me from my left. There was a large icicle on my right side. Moving quickly, the cab hit my bike and its side mirror broke and fell off. My bike, however, wasn’t damaged, and I wasn’t injured. What a miracle!
The driver came out of the car and started cursing at me. I knew that the accident was his fault, but cultivation requires putting the needs of others ahead of one’s own. I thought to myself: “I am a practitioner, so I won’t argue with him. If he isn’t reasonable and asks me to pay for the broken mirror, I will give him the money.”
He said loudly, “You swerved into my car to avoid the icicle.” I knew that he was aware that he was wrong, but to save face, he was being stubborn and argumentative. I smiled at him. Then, while forcing himself to appear calm, he said, “You can go now.”
Looking back, when I was in that critical situation, I remained calm and didn’t feel any fear. However, when I got home and sat on my bed, my legs went weak and my whole body started trembling uncontrollably. My body’s reaction left me feeling scared. Perhaps my knowing side saw how dangerous the situation had been and that Master had rescued me.
Master protected me and saved my life, and that’s why I was unhurt. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would have happened. How could my bike hit the car, break its mirror, and not be damaged? Without Master’s protection, how could my bike be fine—on one side there was a car and on the other side there was ice, and with the tremendous force of the car’s speed, the mirror wasn’t the only thing that could have been broken. I thanked Master for protecting me.
Under Master Li’s protection I feel blessed and happy. Although the CCP’s brutal persecution of Falun Dafa is ongoing, I am not scared because I have the Fa.
