(Minghui.org) I live in the countryside, and have been practicing Falun Dafa for 15 years. I often asked myself: while cultivating, can I be honest about my shortcomings and eliminate them? Can I truly cultivate at all times?
My husband and I would often quarrel. Then a practitioner introduced me to Falun Dafa. She told me: “Falun Gong is a cultivation practice of both mind and body. It is very good. Master said that we should ‘...not strike back when hit or talk back when cursed at.’” (“Lecture Given at the Conference in Sydney”) I thought it was great to be a good person, so I stepped into Dafa cultivation.
After I started to cultivate, no matter how my husband treated me, I would no longer harbor resentment or complain about him. Because through Dafa, I understood the principles of the Fa, and I have Master watching over me. But sometimes, I would still feel aggrieved. One day, facing Master’s portrait, I said: “Master, I feel wronged!” Then I heard Master saying: “What are you wronged about? He was a big white horse you rode, and it was killed in battle.” Then I understood that reincarnation and destiny of life was all about cause and effect.
My leg suddenly became unbearably painful on September 5, 2020. I stayed in the hospital for five days, but my leg only got worse. I was transferred to a hospital in Jinan City where they couldn’t find anything wrong. I stayed in the hospital for 15 days before I felt a bit better. After being discharged and returning home, a practitioner came to see me and said, “You need to study the Fa diligently.”
At that time, I didn’t know how to cultivate. After more than 10 years of cultivation, all I talked about was ordinary people’s things and I liked to meddle in the affairs of ordinary people. I studied the Fa, but didn’t really cultivate my xinxing. Relying on my strong attachments, I tried to heal my leg using ordinary methods.
Through sharing experiences with other practitioners and earnestly studying the Fa, I came to understand that “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
Everything is arranged by Master. I learned to look inward, examining my every word and deed, every thought, knowing that Master was bearing my karmic debts, eliminating the illness karma, and transforming me into a true Dafa cultivator. I am grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation.
Now, I realize how important it is to truly cultivate every single thought. Every cultivator is enlightening within this boundless Dafa to their respective levels. To follow Master’s arrangements is to go with the course of nature. In my heart, I repeatedly shout, “Master’s arrangement is the best.” Thank you, Master.
