(Minghi.org) Greetings Master, greetings everyone!
I obtained the Fa in early 2020, taking up cultivation along with my mother. Today, I would like to share some of my cultivation experiences: how I have matured on my cultivation path with Master’s guidance, compassionate protection, and on clarifying the truth and sharing the preciousness of Dafa with people around me.
In the beginning, I only followed along my mother and our cultivation group when reading the Fa and doing the exercises. My mother told me, “Just try it. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, but at least give it a try.”
In the beginning, I did the exercises on and off — sometimes doing only one exercise a day, and at other times not doing the cultivation at all. I didn’t think too much about it at first. But as I studied Zhuan Falun more and more, I gradually realized that this was something extraordinary. Over time, I began to think more deeply about what it means to truly cultivate and to measure myself against the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
One great experience made me realize Master’s compassionate protection. One day, when I was taking a shower, I noticed the shower head above me seemed a little loose, but I did not think much of it. As soon as I finished and stepped out, the shower head suddenly fell with a loud thud. to the ground. My father rushed in because of the noise, and I realized that if it had fallen just a little earlier, it could have hit me in the face. At that moment, I knew in my heart that Master had protected me.
These incidents also reminded me that true cultivation requires attention to small details. For instance, just as I ignored the loose shower head, sometimes I also overlook attachments in my xinxing, thinking they are not important. However, if I do not take them seriously, they may one day lead to bigger problems.
Another small test I faced was when reading the Fa with younger children. They often asked me repeatedly about what page or paragraph we were working on. At first, I became impatient, thinking, “I already told you — why don’t you listen carefully?” But I realized this was an opportunity to improve.
If I lose my temper over such a small matter, how can I truly cultivate Compassion and Forbearance? Over time, by answering patiently and calmly, I noticed that the group atmosphere also improved.
Besides cultivating in Dafa, I have realized that Master has also arranged opportunities for me to share the beauty of Dafa and clarify the truth to people around me in great ways in my daily life. Over time, I have become more confident in talking about Dafa, explaining the truth about the persecution, and introducing the Gan Jing World platform to classmates, some of my teachers, friends, and others. I do not want to miss any opportunity Master gives me to help them learn more about Dafa.
During break time, often when I have the opportunity, I approach teachers and friends to talk about Falun Dafa. When friends or others ask about my beliefs, I take the opportunity to share with them. Some even approach me later to find out more about the truth. Several of my teachers and school friends know that I practice Falun Dafa and understand the truth about the persecution, so when I ask them to sign a petition calling for an end to the persecution, they don't hesitate to sign it.
Even in daily life, opportunities to share the truth can arise. Recently, during an online job interview, I asked the boss whether I could take some days off in May or October each year if I were selected for the position. She asked why, and I took the opportunity to tell her about the beauty of Falun Dafa and the Falun Dafa Day event each May. Surprisingly, a month later, on my first day at work, I met her in person and she remembered me. Normally, she manages the business remotely and rarely visits the shop throughout the year. She began talking to me again about Falun Dafa, saying that the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are very good for everyone, and that maybe she should try practicing it sometime. I felt very happy that she could understand the beauty of Dafa and appreciate these core values.
After Gan Jing World was introduced to practitioners, I also wanted to promote it to teachers, friends, and relatives. First, I put up a poster about Gan Jing World on the school notice board, made a video for an event at my aunt’s school, posted it as Gan Jing World, and then invited them to view it. As a result, many families, parents, and children visited Gan Jing World to watch it. Later, some of my friends told me I wrote stories well, so I took the opportunity to write and post more on Gan Jing World, inviting them to read my stories.
More friends became interested in Gan Jing World and began following my channel. Some even use it for a couple of hours a day. This showed me that small, patient efforts in clarifying the truth can spread widely and have a real impact.
Another time at school, during a business competition, my team presented on stage in front of the whole school and shared our social media so people could follow our work. We chose to use Gan Jing World, and when I opened the platform, a Chinese friend noticed Falun Dafa content. After school, she asked me, “If Falun Gong is good, why would China ban it?” I explained that Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader, initiated the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999 when it was discovered that the number of practitioners reached nearly 100 million, exceeding that of the CCP membership. I also explained that practitioners live by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She later signed the end-the-CCP petition.
Over time, I became attached to technology and sports events, which caused my cultivation to lag behind. I did not fully dedicate myself to the Gan Jing World project, treating it lightly, almost as a pastime, and although some of my posts gained attention, I later deleted many of the videos. Looking back, I realize I did not take it seriously enough, because this platform has the potential to help sentient beings connect to the truth and traditions. I now plan to improve and create meaningful content that can better serve this purpose.
Looking back at the above mentioned experiences — whether it was being protected from danger or finding chances to improve my xinxing — I realized how much Master has given me. Every step has been taken under his compassionate protection and encouragement.
As a young practitioner, I know I still have many attachments and shortcomings, but I am determined to study the Fa well, improve myself, and walk my cultivation path diligently.
My family and I are deeply grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation, and I will cherish this precious opportunity to cultivate in Dafa.
Thank you, Master!Thank you ,fellow practitioners!
