(Minghui.org) I am a truck driver and often drive long distances to deliver goods. So it is important for me to be safe and for things to go smoothly on the road. Since I practice Falun Dafa, my moral character has been elevated, and I am healthy and feel light. Master Li has taken care of me and helped me resolve my tribulations. I am extremely grateful for Master’s salvation! Here are a few experiences from my work.
Things I Enlightened to from a Simple Experience with Traffic Lights
Most of the time when I am driving, I listen to fellow practitioners’ experience-sharing articles on Minghui Radio podcasts. If there isn’t a new podcast to listen to, I recite the Fa. Therefore, I have been diligently cultivating Dafa as I work. For a while, I found that I encountered fewer red lights and more green lights. Sometimes, there were only one or two red lights out of 10 traffic lights. Sometimes, all the lights were green.
In the past two years, our team of drivers often took a smaller road that had less traffic. Where the small road intersected with a busy road, there were traffic lights. To accommodate the flow of traffic, the red lights on the small road we took lasted for over 80 seconds, and the green lights only lasted for about 20 seconds. Therefore, when people drove on this road, the traffic lights were mostly red. The trucks we drove were overloaded, so it was difficult to start and stop.
One time, the traffic light was green when I got to the intersection, and an excited voice over the intercom: “Since we started to take this road, I have never encountered a green light at this intersection. Today is the first time!” He thought he had benefited from me, since he was following my truck and got a green light at the intersection. Actually, he benefited from Dafa.
Sometimes, when I passed through the intersections while they were all on green lights, I would think: “Is it because I am practicing well? Or have I developed some special abilities?” Then one day I encountered red traffic lights, and I no longer thought that.
Here is why I had so many red lights. That day, after I got off work in the morning, I was very sleepy because I had been driving the previous night and had hardly slept all night. So after breakfast, I quickly washed up and went to bed. When it was time to send forth righteous thoughts at noon, the alarm clock didn’t wake me up, and my wife couldn’t get me up either, so I didn’t send righteous thoughts at noon. I slept until 4 p.m., and then got up and went shopping. That day I didn’t study the Fa, and I didn’t send righteous thoughts either. As a result, I encountered a total of 16 red traffic lights on the way back and forth to work.
Afterward, I realized that when we study the Fa, send righteous thoughts, and clarify the truth, that is, when we do the three things well and act more like Dafa practitioners, Master will help us eliminate all kinds of interference, troubles, karma, and disasters. For me, that meant I would encounter green lights, and have a happy and beautiful day.
The Truck Broke Down for My Driving Partner, But Not for Me
Although the overloading of trucks is strictly prohibited, one can find many seriously overloaded vehicles in various places, including the ones that I drive. Due to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) chaotic management, coupled with the poor quality of Chinese products, it is common for vehicles to break down on the road.
A few years ago, I took my truck for repair. The mechanic smiled and said to me while working, “Last winter, this truck made us suffer.” I looked at him blankly, not knowing what he meant. He saw my expression, thought for a while, and then said, “Oh, I remember, it’s not you, it’s your partner, it was always him. Last winter, the truck broke down on the road in the middle of the night several times. I had to rush from home to fix it, and it took me all night. It was dark and cold, and we were frozen.”
We work in shifts driving the same truck, and each drives for one day. Therefore, I didn’t know that the truck broke down. Last winter, the truck didn’t cause me any trouble, and everything was smooth. I’m driving for another boss now, and we still work in shifts, driving the same truck. Since the second half of last year, I’ve been working with that driver. Up to now, that driver has had to replace two water pumps on the road, and at least four transmission shafts broke down. It was very troublesome. As a Dafa practitioner, I have been doing well under the protection of our compassionate Master.
We Got Priority Because of Dafa
When my child took the college entrance examination, my wife and I went to pick up our child on the last day of the exam. About half a mile away from the school, I found that the intersection leading to the school was blocked, leaving only one lane. Two policemen were guarding each side of the lane. So I thought I’d find a parking place elsewhere.
Then I noticed the two officers lowered their heads and walked away quickly after seeing my car. They were not going to stop us and were letting us go through. So I drove through the checkpoint smoothly and parked the car directly at the school gate. There were very few cars near the school, except for several police cars patrolling inside the school and outside the school gate. My wife and I quietly sent forth righteous thoughts in the car.
When the exam was about to end, more people gradually arrived. My wife and I got out of the car and waited for our child to show up. I saw a parent from our village coming to pick up his child. When he saw me parked, he was shocked and said, “All the intersections leading to the school are closed, so anyone coming to pick up the students has to park far away from the school. How did you get in?” I then realized that we were given priority parking. It was because we sent righteous thoughts in the car without being disturbed. It is beneficial to all sentient beings for us to eliminate those evil elements of the Communist specter that are poisoning people’s minds.
Two years ago, two practitioners and I drove a small car to the city to buy supplies. As we were about to get on the highway, we found that the police were stopping cars for inspection. None of us had our ID cards. I parked behind the cars waiting in line for inspection. I smiled and asked a young policeman standing on the side, “What are you checking?”
The young officer replied, “The inspection is for the centenary celebration, stability, and security maintenance.” Then he removed a barrier and said, “You don’t need to be checked, go this way.” He gestured for me to drive out from the side and get on the highway directly.
When cultivating in Dafa diligently, we feel Master’s care at all times, and everything in life is naturally beautiful and smooth.
