(Minghui.org) I work in a government agency and began practicing Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong) in 2006. In my years of cultivation, there were the happy times when I’d just become a practitioner, magical moments when I improved in my cultivation, and painful occasions when I could not overcome tribulations. However, with the compassionate help and protection of Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa), I was able to stay on the right path.
Due to my poor health, I did not go to school until I was eight years old. Because my attendance was intermittent, I graduated elementary school without learning anything. When I was in middle school, classes were canceled; instead, we had to dig air raid shelters and work on farms.
By age 45, I suffered from heart disease, stomach issues, migraine headaches and joint problems. A few months after I began practicing Falun Dafa I recovered from all of my illnesses. I was so happy, no words could express my gratitude. Dafa is amazing. I knew I’d found a high level cultivation school and that I must treasure this opportunity.
I used to enjoy good food. In addition, I wanted to be comfortable. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I let go of these attachments. I used my free time to study the Fa and clarify the truth. I made some adhesive-backed notes with information about Falun Dafa, and left them wherever I went. I told people I met about the goodness of Dafa, the reasons for quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations and how doing so would bring them blessings. In our agency, everyone from the top officials to my coworkers, except for three people, quit the CCP organizations.
On Thursday afternoons, the employees have to study political slogans. Once my coworkers were settled in their meetings, I returned to my office to read the Fa with other practitioners because my office hosts regular Fa study. Under Master’s protection, this routine went on peacefully until I retired.
When the persecution was most severe I was not afraid. I remembered what Master said,
“If you have fear, they will grab youOnce your thought is righteous, evil will collapse” (“What’s There to Fear,” Hong Yin Volume II)
I walked everyone out who came to my office for paperwork. As we talked, I told them the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong and suggested they quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Sometimes when I met other practitioners they reminded me to be careful. After a while, I heard a rumor that I was a spy. I laughed it off.
I did not want to miss any of the people who came to my office. They might be just passersby, young people getting their marriage license, or people who came for petitions; however, I knew they all came to me because they wanted to be saved.
The date August 8, 2008 (8-8-2008) was a lucky combination of numbers for Chinese people. It is an excellent day to apply for a marriage license. When I arrived at work at 7 a.m., there was already a line of people waiting. I invited them to step into my air conditioned office to cool off and I started telling them the truth about the CCP including its persecution of Falun Dafa.
By eight o’clock, my office, the hallway and the entryway were filled with people. The office clerks were overwhelmed. I rushed around to help. My voice was gone. The central bureau was notified to send more staff to help keep order. As I ran to use the bathroom, I begged Master silently: What to do? Many people will miss their chance to be saved. Please help me.
When I returned to the office, a couple was waiting for me. They wanted to know if there was anything else they needed to do after they got their marriage license. I invited them in. I wrote their names down and explained the importance of renouncing their memberships in the CCP organizations. They accepted my recommendation and left happily.
That was when a miracle happened. Those who’d just received their marriage license formed a line outside my office and waited quietly. I know Master was helping me. Tears filled my eyes. Six people at once were allowed to come inside my office. If the young couples’ parents were with them, I let them come in too as they were also here to be saved. I spoke and they listened as if we were in a classroom.
First, I congratulated them. I wrote their names down and explained the importance of withdrawing from the CCP organizations. I reminded them that since most of them were the only child, their health and safety affected their parents. I said I hoped they did what is truly good for themselves, and erase the oath they made when they joined the CCP organizations. By withdrawing from the CCP they were renouncing atheism. When disaster arrives, atheists will not be protected by heaven, but if they renounced the CCP they would escape and be safe. I asked them to remember the words, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good.” I told them that I hoped the new couples would strive to be good people, be kind to their parents, love each other and have a happy marriage.
They were moved and happy. They thanked me and wrote down the CCP organizations they joined. I handed them their marriage license. The scene look as Master described,
“Buddha’s light illuminates everywhere,Propriety and justice are perfected and illuminated ...” (“Harmonizing with Fa,” Hong Yin)
I knew Master gave me this platform to clarify the truth and help people. I sat in my office waiting for people to come to me. An elderly woman called me several times after listening to the truth. One time she called when I was busy talking to someone. My coworker said, “A phone call for you, looking for a Falun Dafa [practitioner].” I picked up the receiver and heard the woman exclaiming loudly, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good!’” I was truly happy for her.
Just as I was going full speed at saving people, I got the notification that it was time for me to retire. I wept. It was hard for me to leave this office which had became a little center for people to renounce the CCP! My sister, who is also a Falun Dafa practitioner, comforted me, and reminded that I would have other opportunities to accomplish our mission and save people.
I am thankful for everything Master has given me. I must cultivate diligently, do the three things well, and return to my celestial home with Master.
