(Minghui.org) I used to have many illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, uterine fibroids, anemia, eczema, and heart disease. I took medicine every day, but my health didn’t improve. I was only 40, but I looked like I was in my late 70s. After I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1997, I recovered from these illnesses within one month. After my family members, friends, and relatives saw how quickly I became healthy and energetic, they all knew how great Falun Dafa is.
Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, said,
“It is necessary for a Dafa disciple to ensure his cultivation on a daily basis, and it is the mission of a Dafa disciple to clarify the facts and save people. You cannot go without either of these as you journey toward consummation. How well you do is a reflection of whether you are diligent in your cultivation. The current state of affairs in society may change, but never will the requirements for cultivation, as they are the standards of the cosmos and the standards of Dafa.” (“A Reminder”)
I always keep these words in mind. I work on cultivating myself well, and help save people every day. I get up around 3 a.m. every morning and do all five exercises. If I have any illness symptoms, I spend more time doing the exercises. Then I have a quick breakfast and go out to distribute information about Falun Dafa and the ongoing persecution in China.
Sending forth righteous thoughts is critical. Before I go out, I send righteous thoughts and ask Master for help to clear the field, so that people respond with kindness towards Dafa, rather than have negative thoughts.
I’ve met all kinds of people over the years. Some swore at me, saying I was against China, or threatened to report me to the police. But most people were grateful. I also examine myself to make sure I’m following Dafa’s principles. If I saw any attachment to competitiveness or resentment, I immediately rectify myself. As time passed, I felt more and more compassion and was able to treat everyone with kindness.
As my cultivation state improved, so did my truth-clarification. I’d like to tell you about some of my experiences.
“Please Pay Attention to Your Safety”
One day I met a man in his 60s. I gave him a pamphlet and said, “My friend, this is for you. It has lots of information you may not know. It also tells you how to stay safe during the pandemic without spending a penny.”
When he asked if I was a Falun Dafa practitioner, I told him I was and that practitioners want to help people. He told me he was a retired police officer. “I know all about this,” he said. “But when it comes to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), we [police] have no choice. Since the persecution is still happening, please pay attention to your safety when you do this.”
I told him that practitioners understand the risks, but really want people to know the facts, so they can stay safe. I told him that cutting ties with the CCP regime would help him. He agreed and accepted a copy of Master’s article “How Humankind Came To Be.” When we departed, he repeatedly thanked me.
“I Sympathize with You”
More and more police officers have come to understand what Dafa is. One snowy winter’s day, I went to a farmer’s market to distribute Minghui calendars. Just as I was finishing, two men came, one tall and one short. I said to the tall one, “My friend, here is a Minghui calendar for you!”
He took it and said, “This is very good.” He handed it to the short man saying, “Please hold onto it for me.” Then he quickly walked away.
I told the short man that people would receive blessings after hearing the facts and supporting innocent people. I then explained the importance of quitting the CCP organizations. “Do you know what I do?” the man asked, and pulled out a pair of handcuffs.
I wasn’t afraid and told him that handcuffs are for bad people, not for me. Because my mind was righteous, the man put the handcuffs away and said, “I sympathize with you [practitioners] the most. You can go now.” I thanked him for making the right choice.
Master Always Protects Me
Once I helped someone quit the CCP organizations and gave him a pamphlet. Just as I turned around to walk away, two police officers walked past. Incredibly, they just looked straight ahead as though they didn’t see me.
I knew Master blocked them from seeing me. Thank you Master for protecting me again!
A Deep Bow of Gratitude
One time I saw a well dressed man at a farmer’s market. I greeted him and asked if he heard about withdrawing from the CCP organizations. “I’ve heard about it, but don’t know how to do it,” he said. “I’m tired of being a CCP member, but I don’t dare resign because I’m a member at my workplace.”
I told him it could be done on the Internet. He agreed and was relieved when I said I could do it for him. Before he left, he bowed to me deeply. I told him to thank Master Li, not me.
Over the years, I’ve been out almost every day to tell people about the benefits of Falun Dafa and help them quit the CCP organizations. I thank Master for everything and I will continue to do better as a Dafa practitioner.
