(Minghui.org) Our compassionate Master saved me from the bitter sea, cleansed my contaminated soul and dirty thoughts, relieved me of painful illnesses, and freed me from unbearable agony and suffering. Most importantly, Master guided me onto the path of returning to my true self. I feel eternally grateful to our Master. Thank you, Master Li!
Before I began cultivating, I had numerous ailments. There were protrusions in my spine, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. Additionally, I suffered from dry rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach issues, chronic enteritis, and dysmenorrhea, among other ailments. Every day felt like hell, and sometimes I even passed out from the pain. Life was miserable and exhausting for me, and I frequently contemplated suicide. I kept going day by day only because I had a very young child.
Just when I was feeling helpless and desperate, I bumped into some colleagues who were practicing Falun Dafa. They excitedly said, “You’re suffering from such poor health, come and learn Falun Gong with us. Master Li will run classes here very soon.” They also told me about the wonderfulness of Falun Gong and said, “Please do not miss this precious opportunity that comes only once in millions of years.” I was so inspired that I decided to join the classes with them straight away.
On the first day of classes, Master arrived very early. I also saw many people waiting outside. Some were sharing their experiences, while others were buying Falun Gong books and badges.
When I first saw Master, I felt that I had seen Him at some point in the past. Master is very tall, with an upright integrity towering to the heavens. Looking at Master, I thought with emotion, isn’t he the Master I have been searching for all along?”
While I was very happy, I also felt a bit anxious, thinking: “I have little formal education, I’m pretty clumsy too, and I have many health problems. How am I going to cope with the practice when Master has to teach so many people all at once?” However, when I looked at our compassionate Master, I made up my mind to learn and practice Falun Dafa, no matter what, and I would not waste this most precious opportunity.
Master led a very simple life and was quite approachable. One day, we went to a small restaurant. Suddenly, we noticed that Master was also having lunch there with a few people. I thought to myself: Master is so great and well-known, and yet he lives a simple life like us. It’s truly incredible!
While Master was teaching, my mind felt blank. I only knew that Falun Dafa is good. I would do as Master taught us. I felt very happy every day while attending the classes, and I no longer saw myself as being unlucky or inferior. Instead, I was filled with happiness and pride because now I had Master to show me the way forward.
I felt very excited when Master talked about purifying the physical body for true Dafa cultivators so they would be illness-free, and I believed him. I felt that Master had brought hope to my life, and I was determined to be a true cultivator. I thought: I don’t need to take medication anymore, and I will follow Master’s teachings. After I got home, I disposed of all my medications and threw away my health card.
When Master was cleansing our bodies during a lecture, I followed his instruction to stomp my foot. A miracle occurred: all my spinal protrusions, rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach issues, chronic enteritis, and dysmenorrhea disappeared instantly.
What was even more amazing was that Master also unblocked my Fallopian tubes. In 1986, I was forced to undergo a tubal ligation, after which I suffered excruciating pain every month, and I was unable to straighten my neck and back for eight long years, until the day Master cleansed my body.
My period came the next day, without any pain or discomfort. I was filled with happiness, and no words can adequately express my eternal gratitude to Master for giving me a new life.
In class, Master not only cleansed my body, but also opened my celestial eye, which enabled me to see magnificent scenes while Master was giving the lectures. Countless Falun's of different sizes rotated in the sky, with colorful banners and streamers hanging down that displayed text in various languages. Some looked like regular Chinese script, others resembled Tibetan, and some looked like foreign languages. There were also many Buddhas, Daoist deities, and gods, who were all kneeling and listening to Master teaching.
I saw people wearing clothing from the 60s and 70s of the last century; there was also a golden ladder reaching all the way to Heaven’s Gate; I saw figures from the novel Journey to the West, such as Taishang Laojun (a high Daoist god) and Nezha (a powerful celestial warrior). The entire Fa-teaching field was shrouded in a silvery-white radiance. While Master was teaching, I sometimes felt like I was watching a miraculous movie. It was simply too wonderful for words.
Master stressed repeatedly the importance of cultivating one’s xinxing (character). I didn’t have a deep understanding of his words at the time, but I believed that everything Master said was true, and I was determined to follow His teachings in my conduct, especially the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Since then, nothing has been as important to me as the commitment to always measure myself by these principles, cultivate myself based on the Fa, and try my best to be a good and even better person.
I always arrived at the exercise site early in the morning to clean the toilets, so that fellow practitioners would have a clean environment in which to exercise. I often volunteered to help new practitioners learn the exercises during our promotional activities. At work, I always took on the most difficult and demanding tasks and performed them well with happiness and joy. At home, I would do my best to take on more hardships and make life easier for others. In public places, I was always polite and considerate to those around me. No matter where I was, I preferred to incur a loss rather than argue over personal gain.
Once, in a life-threatening situation, I let go of life and death, repelled the danger and avoided a severe accident. All this was thanks to Master’s teaching and guidance. I’m eternally grateful to Master and Dafa!
The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are an eternal wealth that Master has kindly bestowed upon us, guiding us on our life journey. I feel incredibly fortunate, and I will always cherish them in my heart.
I’m a simple and down-to-earth person, not very articulate, and guilty of grave sins that have accumulated over many lifetimes. As a result, I’ve experienced many hardships in my cultivation and have cleared many karmic debts from my past lives. With Master’s kind protection, I have come a long way to reach where I am today.
Whenever I think of these, my heart is filled with deep emotion. Thank you, Master, for the tremendous suffering you have endured for us and the great sacrifices you have made for the accomplishment of Dafa disciples. I will forever remember Master’s boundless compassion and grace.
I still remember the moment we said goodbye to Master after the last class was over. Master stepped down from the podium and waved goodbye to us. With grateful tears, we all clapped as hard as we could, until our hands hurt. Gradually, Master disappeared from view, yet we continued to clap and were reluctant to leave. I felt that our hearts continued to follow Him.
More than twenty years have passed since then, and whenever I recall those days, however brief they may have been, my heart fills with happiness and excitement, encouraging me to continue striving forward on the path of solid cultivation.
Master, I will always follow your teachings, and firmly follow you till the end. Thank you, Master for your boundless compassion and salvation.
