(Minghui.org) I have been a Falun Dafa practitioner since 1997. I used to befriend not-so-great people. I loved to drink and acted unruly after getting drunk. After I started cultivating, I got rid of my bad habits and strove to be a good person.
Even though I have slacked off sometimes, compassionate, great Master has never given up on me and continues to give me hints in my dreams so I can improve. In my dreams, I have run out of gas, had flat tires, lost my car, and become lost. In one recent dream, I couldn’t answer any question on a test. I realized that I should write down my experiences to share with fellow practitioners.
Other practitioners and I went to distribute truth clarification flyers in the countryside one time. I drove, and they went door to door. As I was waiting for them, I wrote “Falun Dafa Is Great” on a utility pole. I’d barely finished the first two words when I heard a voice behind me say, “Huh?” I turned around and saw a middle-aged man. I didn’t panic, just finished writing what I’d started, and left.
Another day, three practitioners and I went to distribute 700 copies of Disintegrating the Culture of the Chinese Communist Party and The Ultimate Goal of Communism to a large village. It took us over three hours to pass them all out. When we left, someone in a van chased us for almost 10 miles. We all sent righteous thoughts. As we approached a three-way crossing, a large truck was coming from the opposite direction. I turned on my hazard lights, and the truck stopped to let me pass. The truck then blocked the crossing, forcing the van chasing us to stop. We were able to shake it off and returned home safely under Master’s protection.
A section of a road in our town got muddy and full of holes whenever it rained. It was hard for drivers to see where the potholes were. I thought, “We cultivators should be considerate and do our best to repair the road.” Other practitioners agreed. I asked a truck driver for a quote for a load of stones. He said, “I’m happy you are going to repair the road since the government doesn’t do anything.” He only charged us for the stones.
The next day, the truck driver transported 10 loads of stones. Many practitioners came to help with the work.
The mayor of our town had objections. He said, “If Falun Dafa practitioners repair road, it will make the Communist Party look bad.” The police came to video record us that day. In spite of their pressure, we finished the work and were very happy to see the smooth traffic. Drivers honked to thank us. A bus driver shouted, “Falun Dafa is great!”
An attorney wrote a poem about what we did:
“The road in front of my door—a swampWalking down the road—like wading a riverFor six month the problem was ignoredUntil Falun Gong practitioners repaired it.”
Many people said that the government told them Falun Gong wasn’t good, but Falun Gong practitioners repaired the road, which the government had ignored.
When I noticed some smaller potholes later, I asked the truck driver to get another load of stones. I didn’t want to bother other practitioners, so I worked on it by myself. It took me an entire day using my little push cart. I was so exhausted that I went straight to bed without dinner. That night I dreamed I flew up into the sky with my right hand in front of my chest, whizzing past the stars! I was so scared by the speed that it woke me up. I realized that Master was encouraging me.
I picked up a female passenger in my taxi on a stormy afternoon. I had met her before and had told her the true story of Falun Gong, but she hadn’t quit the communist organizations.
While driving on highway, we saw some fallen trees. Cars had to zigzag to avoid them. I thought that nothing I encounter is accidental, and since Master has taught us to be good people under any circumstances, I should follow his teachings.
Despite the pouring rain, I got out of my car and moved the trees off the road as I came to them. I had to get out more than 10 times. My jacket was soaked, but I was determined to do what Master had taught me to do. The woman in my car was touched. She now always calls me when she needs a taxi. She recognizes Falun Dafa practitioners are trustworthy, good people.
The above is my understanding. Please feel free to point out anything that is not in line with the teachings.
