(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from Bangalore in India. I would like to take this precious opportunity to report on my cultivation journey over the past years to compassionate Master. I am eternally grateful to Master for giving me the opportunity to participate in truth-clarification projects so that I can fulfill my historic mission of assisting Master in saving sentient beings.
I obtained the Fa in 2013 when I was going through some challenging times in my life. My elderly mother had forced me to go to a local park one day, and that was where I first encountered Falun Dafa practitioners doing the exercises. I began to practice the exercises and became a practitioner.
Falun Dafa changed my life. It took me out of despair and sadness. However, I still felt that there was some unspoken pain deep inside my heart at times and it would make me feel anxious and overly worried. But I was still able to experience Master cleansing my body from deep within. I could feel part of my unknown pain being taken away from me after enduring a test or hardship. I would feel calmer after each cleansing.
There have been many ups and downs in my life and a lot for me to improve on. I am determined to walk the last leg of the journey well and give it my best.
The Power of Righteous Thoughts
Minghui.org recently published an experience sharing article that helped me understand the power of having righteous thoughts.
I started to have extreme pain in my chest. I started to think about what I could do to counteract the pain. I then realized that those thoughts were negative and I should have righteous thoughts instead. I corrected my mindset and decided to go do the exercises at the practice site. At that moment, all my pain disappeared. I was able to go to the practice site and didn’t feel any discomfort.
Shen Yun Zuo Pin Videos Helped Overcome My Demon Nature
I used to be quite rude to my elderly mother and would lose my temper when I was stressed. I knew I had failed to handle myself as a practitioner and had been unable to control myself. I would cry in my room after losing my temper each time. The attachment of sentimentality had taken over and left me helpless.
My demon nature would also appear at work. My coworkers often demanded that I do extra work. Other practitioners also corrected me while studying the Fa because I often misread characters. Facing criticism from both my coworkers and practitioners, I felt very restless.
I started to look within and conduct myself better at work and at home. I started to pay more attention while studying the Fa and would no longer feel offended if others corrected me. I focused more on reading slowly and attentively and other practitioners would join me at times. I began to slowly improve how I read the Fa and had a calmer mind. I began to conduct myself better at work and with my family.
I got the opportunity to work remotely with the Shen Yun Zuo Pin (Shen Yun Creations) subscription team. I was very excited and knew I should do even better because I have experience in sales.
I purchased a subscription for myself because I had never seen the Shen Yun performances live. I watched the Shen Yun Zuo Pin videos with my mother and felt that I was the luckiest person because Master had fulfilled my wish to see the show. I was able to feel Master protecting and taking care of me during every moment.
Amazing things started to happen when I started to watch the Shen Yun Zuo Pin videos. My arrogant nature changed and I felt calmer than before. I started to take the initiative to cultivate myself after seeing what traditional culture was. My demon nature was slowly being eliminated.
I had the opportunity to help several people get subscriptions. I offered to pay with my international credit card for those who didn’t have the means to pay. I was very happy to help others see these precious videos and help them learn more about true beauty and goodness.
Though I still face a lot of challenges and conflicts with ordinary people and practitioners, I know they are for me to do better in cultivation and look within. I feel that Master is eliminating my attachment to sentimentality and my suffering. Master has never abandoned me and has always been taking care of me, despite my slacking off in cultivation.
Overcoming the Attachment of Fear
I have a fear of traveling alone. I would get scared whenever I’d get a call to join a truth clarification activity that was being held far away in another city. I also did not want to leave my elderly mother alone. I would call and ask other practitioners if they could go instead. However, when none of them could make it, I knew this was a test to eliminate my attachment of fear and sentimentality.
I started to have doubts, and the attachment of fear surfaced once again when I was on the train. I started to look inward and face my attachments with righteous thoughts. The attachment of fear gradually vanished because Master is always by my side. I felt wonderful.
I arrived at the location where the activity was to he held. Another practitioner and I helped out for all three days, and many predestined people learned about Falun Dafa.
My mother tried to call me as I was on my way home, but my phone wasn’t getting a signal. She got worried and called other practitioners to see if I was okay. I spoke rudely to my mother and scolded her for worrying about me when her call finally went through. I even told her she needn’t worry about me. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I realized what I did was wrong. I could feel my suffering was alleviated by my tears.
I am truly thankful to Master for taking care of my mother while I was gone.
Publishing Falun Dafa Articles in a Local News Media
I began to make use of every opportunity to introduce Falun Dafa when I began working for a local media group. I was able to publish hundreds of Dafa articles. I knew that Master was doing everything and I was merely a bridge to connect the media outlet with Dafa.
I needed to touch the hearts of sentient beings and call on their awakened sides so the publishers would be willing to publish Dafa articles. After learning the truth about Falun Dafa, everything went much more smoothly. The publishers were willing to publish the articles, and they often asked me what they would get in return. I told them that they and their families would be blessed.
Some people wanted to charge me. I would tell them that Falun Dafa practitioners teach the exercises free of charge and we do not make any money. We only hope to spread the message of hope. Many people were then willing to publish the articles.
I realized the importance of cultivation while accomplishing a task. Studying the Fa well is very important. I would not make any phone calls to publishers when I felt that my cultivation state was lacking. I wanted to make a breakthrough and do better.
I would also like to remind and encourage other practitioners not to look down on others. We also should not stress formalities too much. Master has never specified a specific method for clarifying the truth. Master has told us to be responsible in everything that we do. If we can help and support each other selflessly, then we can do better and assist Master in saving more sentient beings.
Please point out anything that is not aligned with the Fa.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
