(Minghui.org) I began to make Falun Dafa informational materials in 2004. In 2014, I was incarcerated for practicing Falun Dafa. Three months after I was released, I resumed producing materials. To date, I’ve done this for more than a decade. I know this is my mission. I want to make the best materials so that people can understand the truth about Falun Dafa and be saved.
I’d like to tell you about my cultivation experiences.
I Begin Practicing Falun Dafa
I suffered from many health problems before I began practicing Falun Dafa: inflammation of the trachea, gallbladder, urethra and kidneys; headaches; a frozen shoulder; a herniated disc; and so on. I coughed nonstop when the weather was even slightly cold. I had to take all kinds of medications, and my poor health tormented me. Even doing simple household chores was difficult. Despite that, I was the boss in our home and my husband had to listen to me.
In 1998 when I was 40, my husband asked me to go with him to see a relative who practiced Falun Dafa. When she told me how wonderful the practice was and its benefits, I wanted to practice. I asked my husband if he would object if I practiced it. He replied, “I don’t care as long as your health and temper improve.”
The practitioner showed me the exercise movements, and I followed along with her. My movements were not precise, but after I did the exercises three times, the bone spur that had grown in the corner of my eye several years before disappeared. I did not have a copy of Falun Dafa’s main book Zhuan Falun then, but someone loaned me The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection. I memorized the description of each exercise.
I later read Zhuan Falun and understood that illness is caused by karma, so a practitioner should not retaliate when hit or reprimanded. When I had clashes with my husband, I thought, “What should I do? Now that I am a practitioner, I cannot fight or scold him.” I decided to ignore him.
I studied the Fa alone at home. When I encountered problems, I thought of the teachings in Zhuan Falun and tried to follow them based on my understandings. For example, when my urethra got inflamed again, I knew, according to Zhuan Falun, that this was helping me eliminate my karma, so I should not take medicine. The symptoms appeared in the morning, but after I took a nap in the afternoon, I was fine. I recovered without taking any medication and that condition never reappeared. When I had kidney inflammation, similarly, I recovered in a day without any medication. My trachea inflammation recurred the year I began to practice Falun Dafa, but I knew Master was eliminating my karma. I coughed for nearly two months. When I later coughed up blood, I was not afraid. I thought it was a good thing. I did not take any medication, and my trachea inflammation disappeared, too. That condition that had tormented me for 37 years never recurred.
The next year, all my health problems gradually went away by practicing Falun Dafa. I was free of illness and could do any chore—I had endless energy. I took care of the land and pulled weeds. I cleaned our 10-room house and renovated three rooms. Because I was able to work, our financial situation steadily improved.
I experienced the extraordinary benefits of practicing Falun Dafa and the teachings guided me to be a better person. Two years after I began practicing, my two children decided to practice with me.
Before I practiced Falun Dafa, I had a bitter feud with my mother-in-law. Whenever I thought she was unreasonable, I argued with her in front of her children, including my husband. No one dared to say anything. Her sons later married.
She had four houses that were all allocated to her sons. None of them wanted to live with her, so she had no place to live. She ended up on the street with her belongings.
When her neighbor suggested she go live with her eldest son, my husband, she cried and said, “I never gave them anything, so I cannot.”
When I learned of her situation, I thought, “I am a practitioner. No matter how badly she’s treated me, I have to take care of her.” I told her, “I don’t want anything from you” and took her in. She was delighted to move in with us. After she did, I did not ask her to do any chores. When my brother-in-law had a child, my mother-in-law helped to take care of it. Every day, she brought the child to my house to look after. I even cooked for the child. I took care of my mother-in-law for over two years. She thought they were the best years of her life. I treated her with kindness and she was touched.
Persecuted for My Belief
I was sent to a forced labor camp for over seven months after the persecution began. When I returned home, I learned that my husband had had an affair. He forbade me from practicing, saying, “If you don’t practice Falun Dafa, I will treat you well.” He was making me choose between family and my belief. I told him, “I want both.” He said, “That’s impossible. If you decide to practice Falun Dafa we’ll have to divorce.” I said, “What’s so bad about me practicing Dafa? When I began practicing, you said you hoped that my health and character would improve.” He replied, “I’m frightened of the persecution!”
I was forced to divorce. I left the house I’d lived in for 17 years with my oldest daughter and I did not take anything. I went out to work. I wanted my employer to provide food and accommodations and to take in my daughter as well. Through a recommendation, I found a job. Although the pay was low, at least my daughter and I had a roof over our heads. You can imagine how hard our lives were.
My youngest daughter stayed with her father. She was unhappy and missed me. She wanted to jump off a cliff and end her life, but a classmate stopped her. Another time, she and another girl whose parents were seeking divorce bought sleeping pills to commit suicide. The girl took 10 and slept for 3 days. My daughter took 20, woke up the next morning, and went to school as usual without any side effects. I only learned of these incidents afterwards. I believe Master protected my daughter.
My youngest daughter became deeply depressed and developed a mental disorder. I was working as a nanny for another family then. My employer trusted me. She had hired several nannies in the past but soon fired them. She knew I practiced Falun Dafa and was a good person, so she entrusted her family and child to me. I told her about my daughter’s condition and she agreed to let her live with me. Within a month, my daughter got over her depression.
Producing Dafa Materials Is My Mission
After my daughters joined the work force, I told them, “Few practitioners are making materials. They have families, so it’s hard for them to do it. I should do it.” They agreed. I returned to my hometown to learn how to make materials.
I later moved to the city as practitioners involved in the project were arrested. With financial support from my children, I rented a place and started printing materials to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
As time went by, practitioners needed more and more materials, and a practitioner provided a bigger place to print them. I produced a lot of materials every day and many practitioners used them to clarify the truth. However, it wasn’t enough to satisfy their needs. Eight laser printers printed over 300 copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party every day and seven ink jet printers printed other flyers. My daughters often gave me money to fund the project. When they were free, they helped to bind the materials and practitioners came to pick them up.
I’ve experienced many miracles making materials, and I often sense Master’s presence.
One year, udambara flowers bloomed everywhere in the house: on the windows, clothesline, bicycle, and so on.
Another time, I went to drop off some materials at my daughter’s house only to discover I had forgotten to bring her key with me. I took a random key and it opened the door. A practitioner who came to pick up materials did not believe me when I told her what had happened. She took the key and tried to open the door but it did not work. She said Master had opened the door.
On one occasion, I went to deliver materials to a practitioner and forgot to take my key. When I returned, I rang the bell, knocked on the door and window, and shouted, but no one inside could hear me. I had to ask Master for help. I heard a click and the door opened.
Another time I had to deliver materials to a practitioner. When I was two thirds of the way across the street, the light turned red. I was dismayed and thought, “Just a few more seconds and I could have made it.” The lights immediately turned green. Just as I reached the other side, they turned red again.
While working as a nanny, I took care of an elderly woman who was not able to take care of herself. I had to turn her every two hours so that she would not develop bedsores. A practitioner asked me to help drop off materials at night. It took us all night to get it done. When I returned, there were no red marks on the woman’s body. It was a miracle.
One winter, a practitioner asked me to go with her to drop off materials. I left in a hurry and forgot to put on warm clothes. Just imagine how cold it was on that practitioner’s motorcycle! I asked Master for help and felt warm wind blowing on me instantly. I did not feel cold at all.
