(Minghui.org) I am 67 years old. Before I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1995 I suffered from many health issues, including migraine headaches, gastrointestinal problems, numbness and pain in my right thigh, and I had difficulty walking. By studying the Fa and doing the Falun Dafa exercises, I recovered from these illnesses that tortured me for many years. I am truly grateful to compassionate Master.
During the past 28 years of ups and downs I have been able to walk my cultivation path steadfastly under Master’s care. I always remind myself that I’m a practitioner no matter where I am. I do my best to clarify the truth to people, and fulfill my mission, because this is what Master asks us to do.
I enlightened that the family is a good cultivation environment, and we need to save our family members. I followed Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance to be a good person. I took care of the elderly and I tried to think of others first and not compete for material gain. This helped lay a good foundation for saving my family members.
My wife’s parents lived with us for decades, until they passed away. My father-in-law passed away when he was in his 90s, and my mother-in-law passed away when she was 80. I took care of them as if they were my own parents. I cooked the food they liked, and looked after them when they were ill. They always discussed their problems with me, and asked for my opinion. I clarified the truth to them, and they understood and sincerely recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They have a son, but my in-laws asked me to keep their salary cards and bank deposit certificates. They told me, “Falun Dafa practitioners are good people. You all are honest and trustworthy.”
My in-laws’ house had three bedrooms and one living room. They used one bedroom. I renovated the other two bedrooms so they had outside entrances, and I rented them out. I gave all the rental income to my in-laws. After they passed away, according to the law in China, my wife and her brother should each inherit half of their parents’ assets. However, her brother wanted to take possession of the entire house. The level of morality in today’s China is very low, and many close relatives fight with each other over money.
I knew that as a practitioner, I should not fight for personal interests—I should follow Master’s teachings to be selfless and think of others first. I discussed the situation with my wife, son, and daughter-in-law, and eventually they agreed to let my wife’s brother have the entire house.
My family members saw the beauty of Dafa through my upright behavior and the entire family withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. If I had not practiced Falun Dafa, my wife and I would not have been able to do this. The relationship between our two families is harmonious.
All of my family members understand the truth about Dafa and have withdrawn from the CCP organizations. They all believe Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. And they all received blessings.
I took my grandson to visit a friend one evening in 2013. While we were there he suddenly yelled that his right ear hurt, and he rolled on the ground in pain. My friend urged me to go to a hospital. I said we would be fine and took my grandson home. Along the way, my grandson and I recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” We passed by a private clinic, and a Chinese medicine doctor took a look at my grandson and told me, “Go to a major hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If it’s too late, it might result in a perforated eardrum.”
I understood this was a cultivation test. I asked the child, “Do you want to go to a hospital, or do you want to go home and ask Master for help?” My grandson did the Falun Dafa exercises with me since he was very young, and he memorized many poems from Hong Yin. He said without hesitation, “I want to go home and ask Master to help me.” After we returned home, he asked Master to protect him. I began sending righteous thoughts. Within five minutes he said his ear no longer hurt, and he wanted to take a nap. After he woke up, he was fine. My grandson is a teenager now, and he rarely gets sick. He is nearly 5’10’’ tall, does well in school, and is in great health.
My son was riding a motorcycle one day in 2018. He suddenly spotted an elderly lady crossing the road but he could not stop. He shouted loudly, “Master, please help me!” The motorcycle stopped about four inches away from her. Without Master’s timely help and protection, it might have been tragic. My son thanked Master.
Earlier this year, my wife was riding in a colleague’s car on a business trip. On their way back, the car stopped and the gas gauge was on “empty.” They were not near any villages. My wife said, “My husband once told me to ask Falun Dafa’s Master for help when I encounter an emergency, as Master can do anything.” So they both begged Master for help and kept reciting the nine words, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” After a short while, the gas gauge showed “5,” and they were able to drive to a gas station. As soon as they got there, the car ran out of fuel and turned off. They refueled the car and were able to safely drive home.
I worked as a safety manager on construction projects, and I dealt with construction workers every day. As a cultivator, I knew I must follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance no matter where I was. If I did well at work, it would lay a good foundation for clarifying the truth to the workers.
After each construction team got to work every day, I always did a careful inspection. When I discovered any safety hazards, I asked the team to repair the issue and eliminate the hazard before they began working. I never allowed any construction to be done until the issues were corrected.
I also found opportunities, such as during breaks, education or safety training, rest times after dinner, or our daily interactions, to tell people about Dafa and give them truth clarification materials. Most of the employees and workers who understood the truth chose to withdraw from the CCP organizations. Because they were protected by Dafa the construction safety was assured. All the construction projects I managed were safe and incident-free. Thank you, Master for protecting me and protecting all these sentient beings!
I was reported for clarifying the truth in October 2021. I was taken to a detention center, and my home was ransacked. There were six other people in my cell, and most of them were detained for fighting—some were there due to traffic violations. I knew we had a predestined relationship and they were sentient beings I must save.
I talked to each of them about traditional Chinese culture, and told them the principle that one will receive blessings if one forbears and takes losses. I told them the miraculous stories of how I benefited from Dafa, about the beauty of Dafa, and that one should withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations to stay safe. They all agreed to withdraw.
TheDetentionCenter Guards
I did not follow the guards’ orders because I did not break any laws. I knew they were also victims of the persecution and we need to save them. Since I didn’t follow their orders, starting on the fifth day, from the director to the guards on duty, they took turns talking to me. No matter what their attitude was, I faced them with a smile and used the opportunity to tell them about Dafa. I told them that the “Tiananmen Self-Immolation Incident” was staged, and the so-called “1400 Deaths” was fabricated. I told them that 80 million Chinese people died as a result of the various political movements by the CCP since it usurped power. I asked them to recognize the true nature of the CCP and quickly withdraw from it.
Even though most of the guards understood the truth, only two agreed to withdraw from the CCP organizations. The guards’ attitudes used to be very fierce, but they gradually became friendly. The director told me, “I know that Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people. But you need to cooperate with us.” I said, “We cultivate based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and we have not broken any laws. I should not cooperate with you when you are persecuting good people!” After I got out of the detention center I immediately went back to assisting Master in Fa rectification and saving people.
I always remind myself that I’m a practitioner. Whether I am clarifying the truth face to face or doing other things to save people, I send righteous thoughts. This helps remove any obstacles and lays a foundation for saving people. Practitioners have positive energy, and all things within our energy field will benefit from us.
I still have many attachments that I need to eliminate, including an attachment to taking it easy, fear, the attachment to saving face, and a show-off mentality. As the Fa-rectification is coming to an end, I will do my best to study the Fa well, truly cultivate myself, and assist Master in saving more people, and fulfill our mission as Falun Dafa practitioners!
If anything is not in accordance with the Fa, please kindly point it out!
