(Minghui.org) I’m an eight-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner. I have been cultivating myself for over a year. I’m writing down my experiences to tell people how great Falun Dafa is and how compassionate Master is.
My grandma told me to repeat “Falun Dafa is great” when I was in kindergarten. She also told me many stories about cultivation. When I had a sore throat or some other form of discomfort, I would repeat “Falun Dafa is great” and I would feel fine again after a while. My pain or other discomfort seemed to be wiped out by some fairy. I had leg pain, tummy pain, and motion sickness when I was in first grade. All of these are gone now.
I spent my winter break in 2021 in my grandma’s home. Several people went to study the Fa with my grandma. I sat down with them in a circle. Everyone read a page from Zhuan Falun, including me. Grandma taught me the words I didn’t know, but we only finished four lectures before I had to go home. My parents don’t cultivate. No one could lead me to study, but grandma told me to remember “Falun Dafa is great!”
I had a high fever during the pandemic in October 2022. My parents took me to the hospital. My X-ray showed a white area on the lower half of my right lung. I repeated in my mind, “Falun Dafa is great!” I recovered quickly and was released from the hospital after a week.
As soon as the lockdown was over, my family and I all got COVID. My fever went as high as 40 degrees (104 degrees Fahrenheit). I couldn’t eat anything and had no strength to do anything. My mom, who had quit all the communist organizations, reminded me to repeat “Falun Dafa is great.” We did it together. I fell asleep afterward. The next morning, I wanted to eat and drink and had a hearty meal. Mom took my temperature and it was perfectly normal. I was so happy that I jumped up and down! When I repeated “Falun Dafa is great,” Master took care of me! Thank you, thank you, Master!
My grandma came to visit after the 2023 New Year. We studied the Fa together. I really enjoyed listening to the Minghui Radio program about children practitioners’ experiences. I learned how to improve my xinxing.
I used to insist that mom play with me or tell me a story. I sat in her lap and forced her to talk to me. I threw fits to get her to do what I wanted, not understanding if she was tired. I cried if she wouldn’t. When she had to leave for work, I held onto her legs and wouldn’t let her go.
Now I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner. I won’t behave like before. I want to be a good kid. When she needs to leave, I happily send her to the door and say “bye” to her.
Before I started cultivation, I used to fight my younger sister for mom. My sister lives with my grandma on my dad’s side, while I live with my parents. I used to get mad when my mom held my younger sister or bought her something. I guarded my toys and cried when my sister touched them. She had to apologize. She had to listen to me. I used to scold her when she didn’t behave.
Master said,
““He’s right,And I’m wrong,”What’s to dispute?” (“Who’s Right, Wong’s Wrong,” Hong Yin III)
I learned the principles. When I run into anything unhappy, I remember I’m a cultivator. I’m no longer as stingy as before. I feel sorry for my sister because she doesn’t get to see mom so often. I’m generous with my sister now. I give her what she likes. I also get along better with my classmates. I’m one of the top students in my class. People praise me for being good. Dafa has taught me to be good and follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I’ll do better.
I don’t behave well all the time. I do have regrets. My grandma said she believed I would do better and better. Before I learned Dafa, I used to have nightmares every night. In my dreams, monsters from cartoons chased me and wanted to eat me. I also dreamed about getting lost. After studying the Fa, I learned that my true home isn’t in this world, and I’m here to return to my true origin. I haven’t had any nightmares since. I know Master has saved me from getting lost. I’m following Master on my way home.
Thank you, Master, for your salvation!
