(Minghui.org) After I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998 and read Zhuan Falun I understood that I should be a good person. I suffered from frequent and urgent urination, so I took a lot of medicine but nothing helped. I was fine after I did the Falun Dafa exercises. Falun Dafa is truly amazing and I was determined to practice.
I Begin Practicing
When I began practicing I was able to see golden beams when I read Zhuan Falun. When I read the book outdoors, I even saw flashes of light in seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and violet. I thought Falun Dafa is great and I was determined to cultivate.
It took me two months to be able to sit in the full lotus position when I meditated. One morning around 3 a.m., when it was time to do the exercises, I heard something. When I opened my eyes, I saw an image that resembled the golden hands of a clock or watch, but it disappeared after a few minutes. I understood that this was a reminder to get up to do the exercises.
During the day I often saw transparent Falun rotating to and fro. Sometimes I even saw the four small Taiji symbols spinning within the Falun.
About a year after I started practicing I had an illness tribulation. During the Chinese New Year in 1999, a red spot appeared on one side of my waist. It grew bigger each day until it turned into a lump out 13cm in diameter. The pain was so intense that I could not sleep.
I thought about taking injections and medication, but I ignored this thought and read the Fa. The lump eventually formed a head and discharged a large amount murky fluid, a mixture of grey and white matter. It disappeared after I squeezed it three times. I knew Master was helping me eliminate karma. Such symptoms are known as the disease “Yao Weng,” which refers to lower back sores. After the Chinese New Year, I was able to return to work.
Eliminating My Attachment to Complaining
After we married my wife and I had many conflicts—I complained about her and I even detested her. I felt angry the moment I saw her. We constantly fought.
After I started practicing Falun Dafa I followed Master’s teachings and tried my best to be kind. However, I still became furious the moment I saw her. Master let me see my past two lifetimes with my wife in a dream. In one lifetime I left her and my mother to cultivate Taoism in the mountains. Another dream took place on an ancient battlefield, and my wife and I dodged flying arrows. She was struck and fell. I was hit as well. Reflecting on the bonds that we shared in past lifetimes, I realized just how extraordinary and hard-won our connection truly was.
Through studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and cultivating my xinxing, I understood that the affinity between my wife and I was great, so I should have compassion for her. I let go of my resentment and I no longer fought with her. She fully supported my cultivation. When she learned a police officer was looking for me, she immediately packed up all my Dafa books and hid them. Because she protected the books she was blessed: She survived a car accident with only minor scratches.
After my relationship with my wife improved, her fourth brother said, “I don’t understand. You two no longer fight after you began practicing Falun Dafa. I should also learn about Falun Dafa and read Zhuan Falun.” After he finished reading the book, he said, “Falun Dafa is a good practice. It teaches one to be kind and it revives ones moral integrity.” A few years later, he also met with a car accident but only sustained some minor abrasions. He recovered after taking some medication. I know my wife and her brother were blessed because they had a positive attitude about Dafa.
I also got rid of my complaints and grudges against my parents-in-law. My wife is the fourth of five sisters. My in-laws disapproved of our marriage from the start and only reluctantly consented after several discussions. After we married, my in-laws still looked down on me. Among the five sons-in-law, I was the one who did the dirty and exhausting work, yet I still never earned their approval. At family meals, I was not even given a seat and always had to eat while standing. I simply could not understand why I could never satisfy them no matter how much I tried.
Benevolent Master saw that I did not understand the situation so he let me see the truth in a dream. In one lifetime when my father-in-law struck my thigh with a sickle, and I struck back, slashing his neck twice with the same sickle. I don’t know if I killed him. From the dream I understood why he treated me that way, so I no longer held a grudge against him for his attitude. Instead, I required myself to abide by the standards of the Fa and treat him with kindness. Many years later, he told my third brother-in-law before he passed away, “I have really let Fourth [referring to me] down over the years.” When I heard that, I was on the brink of tears. Dafa helped me to dissolve the negative karmic ties from my past life. Thank you, benevolent Master!
Clarifying the Facts and Helping Master Save Sentient Beings
I work in art and design, and I worked for eight private companies after I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Through my job I interact with a wide range of clients from high-ranking officials and business owners to university students and ordinary citizens. When clients offer me money or gifts, I refuse them.
I tell my clients about Falun Dafa: that it is a spiritual practice that is rooted in Buddhist tradition and teaches people to become good by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance; the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is atheist and harms people; the Tiananmen self-immolation is a hoax. I helped many people quit the CCP and its youth organizations.
My older and younger brothers own restaurants and I tell their customers about Falun Dafa. I’m usually able to help about 16 people quit the CCP each time I visit their restaurants. When I return to my village and meet with my relatives and friends I tell them about Falun Dafa and the persecution. During one visit I helped more than 70 people quit the CCP and its organizations.
I talking to a young cab driver about Falun Dafa, but he seemed reluctant to listen. When I kept talking he seemed impatient and said something unpleasant. I was not moved—instead I felt compassionate. I said, “We had this affinity to meet and that is why I am telling you this. Please don’t get angry. Just drive me to the destination.” He suddenly changed, raised his fist, and shouted loudly, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good! I quit the CCP!”
After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Master let me see a Falun made of light which kept spinning in front of me. It had seven colors and was truly wonderful and extraordinary. During that time when the persecution was most frenzied the appearance of such a miracle strengthened my determination to cultivate.
Recalling my cultivation over the past 28 years, I have gone through many tribulations but have overcome them with Master’s benevolent protection. I still have many attachments which I haven’t yet eliminated. I will study the Fa more regain my initial cultivation state, do the three things well, and fulfill my vows in order to repay Master!
