(Minghui.org) May 13, 2023, was the 31st anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction and the 24th World Falun Dafa Day. Over 8,600 articles were received in response to this year’s call for papers to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day by Minghui.org. Sixty articles were selected and published beginning May 16, 2023, including several from practitioners who are not Chinese. The practitioners’ personal experiences in the articles conveyed to readers the grace of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
“I think she is walking a correct cultivation path. She has no distracting thoughts and is not influenced by anything and everything. I think that is most commendable. She is not afraid even when she encounters difficulties. This is worth learning,” said Mr. Huang, the general manager of an insurance company.
Mr. Huang’s wife practices Falun Dafa. At his wife’s recommendation, he read the articles submitted in response to Minghui’s call for articles. Afterward, he said he better understood his wife and thought that Falun Dafa’s values were meaningful.
Mr. Huang talked about his understanding after reading the article “I Became an Expert in Two Fields.”
In this article, the author talked about cultivating while working in the insurance industry. She said, “I thought of the customers from their perspective. I provided them with the best insurance terms for their situation rather than recommending the plan based on how much commission I would make.” Mr. Huang said that really moved him.
“Because I also work in the insurance industry, what the author said resonated with me. This is what insurance agents should do when they come up with insurance policies for customers, whether it is in China or Taiwan. The agent should not focus on what he or she will get out of it, but take their customers’ interests as the starting point and truly consider their needs and circumstances.”
He elaborated, “This guarantees customers that if something happens to them, they will be taken care of. Their families get help, alleviating many family and social problems. I think this is the primary benefit of the insurance industry.”
Referring to Falun Dafa’s guiding principles, he said, “These fundamental values should not be forgotten. No matter what happens, they will always exist. They will not change or be affected. Stick to the original values in all things—I think this is the best principle.”
He said that Falun Dafa’s adherence to traditional values encourages positivity in society: “There are too many different aspects in today’s society. Walking on this righteous path will let everyone see a glimmer of light. Traditional values are a force for peace in society.”
He said that Falun Dafa practitioners are also a kind of supporting force. Mr. Huang added, “Knowing that there is a righteous path, we will be more determined and stick to the right path.”
Ms. Lai is in her 80s and her daughter practices Falun Dafa. Her daughter sometimes plays Minghui Radio’s experience sharing articles. Ms. Lai listened to the article “I Was Sweeping Snow Off the Roof at Age 91” and was deeply impressed.
The author said, “Before practicing Dafa, I suffered from many illnesses, especially serious throat problems. Day and night, I was coughing up phlegm and blood. I often could not sleep at night because of the bad cough. Due to burning pain from my chest to my throat, I had a habit of grabbing and patting my chest, as it seemed to relieve some of the pain.”
After practicing Falun Dafa, the author followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and her illnesses disappeared. She stopped swearing when she encountered unhappy things. She always felt unspeakable joy.
Ms. Lai was touched by the author’s story. She said, “If you have a kind heart, you will be fine. But if you can’t let go of the resentment and want to take revenge on others, you may have to repay the other party in the future due to the karmic grievances.” She said that kindness is very important, “Falun Dafa teaches people to be good.”
She said practitioners are tolerant and gentle towards others and have the highest wisdom. She said, “When the other person is rude, practitioners are tolerant and don’t fight or scold. Afterward, the other party may recall how the practitioner handled the situation and wonder, “Why didn’t the practitioner retaliate?
“Practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Instead of arguing, they calmly explain to the other party. When the person who lost their temper understands what happened, they might feel embarrassed. Sometimes they even thank the practitioner.”
