(Minghui.org) Looking back on my cultivation journey of over 20 years, Dafa and compassionate Master have saved me and given me a second life. Master has guided me to cultivate by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, considering others first in anything I do. This has transformed me from a person burdened by illnesses into someone with a sound mind and body, free from ailments, and possessing an elevated moral character.
A Conscientious Employee
I was responsible for the procurement, reimbursement, and budget planning of the staff canteen and office supplies in my job. The leaders and colleagues knew that I practiced Dafa. I have conducted myself based on the principles of a cultivator, and I would refrain from reckless spending, consider others in my workplace, and avoid disputes over personal interest. Therefore, when I handed over my responsibilities before my retirement, in addition to settling accounts, equipment, and other items, I handed over nearly 8,000 yuan in cash that had been saved over time through frugality, including a benefit of 50 yuan given to me for purchasing equipment. I transferred the money to the person taking over my job.
When the leaders learned about it, I was called to a manager’s office, who said, “You’ve worked excellently over these years. You were diligent, hardworking, and accepted any task without complaint. After discussion among the leaders, we have decided to reward you with the money you saved.” I expressed my gratitude for their trust and care, but I couldn’t accept the money because I cultivate in Dafa, and I follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in whatever I do. If they found it difficult to handle and wanted to do something good with the money, they could use it to improve the canteen meals for the staff. The leaders were very surprised, as they did not expect someone to refuse a bonus. I explained that my Master taught me to be a good person who would consider others first. They sincerely thanked me.
Surviving an Accident
I learned that an elderly practitioner had suffered a stroke-related illness and was admitted to a hospital in November 2022, but she was discharged and returned home, I planned to visit her at home. It was about an hour’s ride on an electric bike to her house, and at that time, pandemic prevention and control measures were very strict, requiring everyone entering and exiting the community to scan a QR code with their mobile phones. Before setting off, I burned incense to Master and asked for his protection.
It was quite miraculous all the way there. When I approached and entered the gate of the residential area, the guard seemed not to see me. As I approached the building, one resident happened to swipe his card to open the door, so I followed him into the building. On my way upstairs, I met the practitioner’s husband taking out the trash. Everything went exceptionally smoothly, as if it was all arranged by Master.
I had a good experience studying the Fa and cultivation sharing with that practitioner. She was frank and knew her problems. She said that she should continue to persevere, even when facing difficulties, because Master is watching over us! Her husband supported her in her practice.
On the way home, I felt exceptionally relieved. I reached a fork in the road and suddenly saw a large truck speeding toward me. In an instant, my bike and I headed straight toward the left side of the truck. There was a loud crash, as if the bike had been shattered. I said in my mind, “Master, please save me.”
I was on the ground, but I didn’t feel any pain. When I got up, I saw the truck stopped about 20 meters away. The driver jumped out and said, “Why weren’t you looking where you were going?” Seeing that I could stand and was unharmed, he turned around, wanting to leave. I told him not to go, and said, “Come here, I want to tell you something. I cultivate in Falun Dafa and won’t deceive you. Have you heard about quitting the CCP to ensure your safety?” He said he didn’t want to know and walked away.
I moved my limbs and everything seemed fine, except for a black mark on the corner of my right eye that felt uncomfortable. Looking at the electric bike lying on the ground, with items scattered all around, I only saw two deep scratches on the rear seat backrest. When I lifted the bike and checked it, there was no damage and it looked fine, which was truly miraculous. It reminded me of what Master said:
“We have said that good or bad comes from a person’s initial thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
What Master said is absolutely true, as I experienced it firsthand! Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes, thanking Master for saving my life! Without Master’s protection, I wouldn’t be alive today. Thank you, Master, for giving me a second chance at life! You helped me resolve my debts and settle my grievances with others.
As a Dafa disciple, I can only diligently study the Fa, improve myself, fulfill my vows by helping Master to save more people, and return home with Master.
