(Minghui.org) Over the past 20-plus years, amid the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) brutal persecution, Falun Dafa practitioners have followed Master Li’s teachings to do the three things. They clarify the truth and awaken people’s consciences. Day after day and year after year, Master’s compassionate salvation and Dafa’s vast grace have spread blessings far and wide and helped cleanse this turbid world. The principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance have illuminated and nourished people’s hearts, turning them toward goodness.
Over many years of clarifying the truth, I’ve seen so many examples of Dafa’s boundless power bringing people blessings, longevity, and safety after they learn the truth. I would like to share two of them.
A Once Frail Woman Becomes Healthy and Happy
Several years ago I ran into a frail woman with lifeless eyes and an almost gray complexion. I felt sympathy for her and asked her if she was ill. She said, “I have actually met you before. How did you become so pretty?”
I told her that I practiced Falun Dafa and that it is effective for eliminating illness and strengthening health. I also told her that it teaches people to conduct themselves according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and to not hit back when struck or return curse for curse, that Falun Dafa practitioners look inward when they encounter problems, find their own shortcomings, think more about others, and cultivate their hearts to be good people. The result is that they are then free of illness and light in mind and body.
She seemed pleased to hear this and told me about many of her misfortunes. I told her that Dafa has come to save people and that if one can acknowledge that Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good and not compete or fight, not get resentful, and take hardship as joy when encountering issues, then they’ll become broadminded, have a positive mindset, and enjoy improved health.
I told her the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa and the importance of quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations: “When we were in school and were required to join the CCP’s Young Pioneers, we had to swear an oath to the blood red flag, vowing to give up our lives for it. The CCP is not Chinese. It is a foreign evil specter that makes people deny the existence of divine beings, not believe in karmic retribution, and forsake moral standards.
“China’s 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture emphasizes virtue, doing good deeds, following one’s conscience, and understanding the karmic law of cause and effect. Because of the cycle of reincarnation, everything we do in this life, good or bad, will be rewarded or punished accordingly in the next. The ancients said, ‘There are divine beings three feet above one’s head. When a thought arises in the human heart, Heaven and Earth will know it all.’ Those who hold kindness in their hearts will be blessed.”
She listened attentively and agreed to withdraw from the CCP. I gave her some truth-clarification materials and asked her to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I told her that this could change one’s fate, eliminate disasters, and bring blessings.
Some time later, I wanted to clarify the truth to a woman headed toward me on a bicycle, so I called out to her. After she stopped and I saw her face, I knew she looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where we had met. I said, “May I give you some things to read?”
She responded, “Sure! I read these often. They’re really good.” She took what I handed her, put them away carefully, then rode off and disappeared into the crowd. Only then did I realize that it was that frail woman with lifeless eyes! I almost didn’t recognize her, because she looked so much better. Her eyes were bright, her expression was peaceful, and she looked like a completely different person. After understanding the truth about Dafa, she had truly gained health and happiness.
“Falun Dafa Is Truly Wonderful!”
On my way home one day, I saw a woman ahead of me pedaling a tricycle with great difficulty. I wondered why she was going so slowly. I quickly caught up and saw that she was only in her 40s, but her face was haggard. And, from her painful expression, I could tell that she was full of resentment. I asked her, “What’s wrong that’s making you so unhappy?”
She stopped the tricycle and burst into tears, saying she didn’t want to live anymore because her husband treated her badly and her life was so hard. Compassion welled up in me, and I thought of myself before I’d started practicing: “Wasn’t I just like her?” I was so fortunate to have encountered Master and Dafa.
I comforted her and told her about my own experiences. Using the wisdom Dafa gave me, I told her that the misfortunes of this life come from the bad things we did in previous lives, which created karma. In the endless cycle of reincarnation, karma must be repaid. If we can be good by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, then the conflicts will be resolved. By being tolerant and considerate of others, the karma will be eliminated and misfortunes can be avoided. Therefore, one must be kind. Kindness is the source of good fortune.
She calmed down and looked more relaxed, so I told her about Dafa and quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She listened and agreed to withdraw. I also told her how sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” can turn danger into safety and bring health and peace. She seemed very happy and rode away swiftly.
Later on, I saw her selling vegetables at a market. She was very happy to see me. I said, “It must be very hard to grow so many vegetables.”
“It’s not hard at all, ” she responded, “because life has been much better. My husband has changed so much, our family is harmonious, my mood is much better, and I have energy to do things. Falun Dafa is truly wonderful! Thank you so much!”
I said, “Don’t thank me, thank Dafa’s Master. He’s the one saving people.”
She replied “Thank you, Master of Dafa!” Master had borne much of her karma.
I’m so grateful for Master’s immense grace. When people nurture a single kind thought to understand the truth and treat Dafa kindly, Master will eliminate their sins and karma and bring them blessings, and they will live healthy, happy lives.
Master said,
“Many people have an enormous amount of sinful karma, in fact. And so the Creator has borne some of their suffering for them, so that they may gain salvation. This is the greatest form of compassion, and the greatest form of love, for these lives.” (“Why This World Is a Realm of Unknowing”)
Whenever I encounter people who understand that Dafa is good, I am sincerely happy for them. They have chosen kindness and righteousness amid the manifestations of good and evil, right and wrong, and they will be able to avoid calamity.
When I encounter a few individuals who refuse to listen, I truly feel sorry for them. In the vast sea of humanity, those who encounter a Dafa practitioner and hear the truth are truly fortunate. I hope people will cherish those connections and not miss the opportunity to head toward a bright future guided by Dafa.
I bow in gratitude to Master for his compassionate salvation. Because of Dafa, I am no longer trapped by mundane matters and misled by false appearances. I will measure everything with the Fa, assimilate to Dafa, and become a life of the new universe.
