(Minghui.org) To celebrate the 27th World Falun Dafa Day, I would like to share my cultivation experiences, including the elevation of my spiritual realm, the restoration of my physical health, and some miraculous encounters.
I began practicing Falun Gong just after the peaceful appeal in Beijing by over 10,000 practitioners on April 25, 1999. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Master in person, I was fortunate to have a copy of Zhuan Falunand to join outdoor group exercises for a couple of months before the persecution began.
With over a hundred people practicing the exercises together, we created an environment of profound tranquility and harmony. It was as though my entire being was bathed in the Buddha light. I understood the true meaning of life and felt a joy beyond words. My entire demeanor instantly brightened. All physical discomforts and vexations of daily life were swept away in an instant.
Two months later, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its frenzied persecution, along with an overwhelming deluge of propaganda and slander. Although I had only been studying the Fa for two months, I knew Dafa and Master were righteous, and that this was a test for practitioners.
I continued studying the Fa and practicing the exercises at home. As the situation escalated, I was subjected to persecution on multiple occasions and even lost my job. However, I persevered with my faith unshaken.
Master helped purify my mind, cleanse my body, and compassionately protect me.
I used to suffer from hereditary asthma for nine years. Various folk remedies, prayers, or even Feng Shui and divination never worked. I also had allergic reactions to airborne substances, such as pollen, gasoline fumes, paint, and dust, which could cause severe breathing difficulties. Nothing could cure this condition.
I was deeply drawn to the principles in Zhuan Falun. Master explained the fundamental causes of human illness and the consequences of being a good person versus a bad one.
I came to understand that the key to spiritual elevation lies in the purity of one’s thoughts and moral character. The universal principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will uplift those lives that assimilate to them, while also constraining those that deviate from them.
Dafa transformed my self-centered outlook on life. I strove to conduct myself in accordance with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. In just two short months, my asthma was cured without any medical treatment. More than 20 years have passed, and I no longer fear the substances that used to trigger my allergies. As a metalworker, I can even use gasoline-thinned paint to apply rustproof coatings.
I realized that illness is not cured solely through practicing the exercises, but through the cultivation of the mind.
Practitioner Mr. Feng and I became business partners and opened a shop specializing in doors, windows, and metal fabrication. We both hold ourselves to the Fa standards and have gained a clear understanding of the relationship between loss and gain. We follow Master’s teaching, “You should always be benevolent and kind to others and consider others when doing anything.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
In a society where self-interest often takes precedence, business partnerships rarely endure. Yet we have been collaborating for over a decade, working together in harmony on everything from procurement to production, installation, and financial settlement. Many people assumed we were family.
Within our industry, our collaborations are well-regarded. Both new and long-standing clients remark, “People with faith truly stand out. The Dafa practitioners are simply excellent.”
The most dangerous moment of my life arrived on an ordinary morning in late autumn in 2019.
That day, the intersection we were working at was busy and noisy. Mr. Feng and I were dismantling a billboard at a new burger shop. We had assembled a working platform over three meters high using two sections of scaffolding. To move the scaffold, Mr. Feng pulled from the front, while I pushed from the back. Because there was sand on the ground, I was focused on watching my footing, but failed to look up.
The scaffolding came into contact with the high-voltage transformer terminal on the left side of the shop. Suddenly, I was struck with 10,000 volts of electricity.
Mr. Feng rushed into the shop to disconnect the power. He saw sparks flying from the transformer and realized I was being electrocuted. The entire ordeal lasted for several seconds.
It felt as if my body was exploding, and every single cell was expanding and colliding. I could not utter a sound. I could only scream in my mind, “Master, please save me! Falun Dafa is good!”
As the scaffolding dislodged from the utility pole, I fell onto the scaffolding and lost consciousness.
Mr. Feng moved me onto the ground, shouting over and over again, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger. Someone shouted, “Hurry, take him to the hospital!”
Just then, I regained consciousness. I moved my arms around and found that I still had strength. Mr. Feng helped me sit up, as a strong smell of burning filled the air. My right foot had been pierced by the current in several places, and my leather shoe was punctured on both sides. Yet I felt no pain, only a dull numbness.
I stood up, brushed the sand off myself, and smiled at the onlookers, saying, “I’m alright. I practice Falun Gong. I have Master’s protection.”
An elderly man insisted, “Rush him to the hospital! This man must have done good deeds. Not only did he not die, but he wasn’t even scorched!”
The manager offered to take me to the hospital. I declined and asked him to find someone else to finish the job.
When I got home to take a shower, I could still smell the burnt odor.
At noon, the manager came to visit me and brought along some milk. He examined my injuries. Several small circular burns dotted the palm of my left hand. Both sides of my right sole were perforated, and my leather shoe was riddled with holes.
The company leadership insisted that I go to the hospital, or otherwise, they wanted my children to sign a liability waiver. I replied, “I practice Falun Dafa. I have Master’s protection. I will not ask you for money.”
They had no choice but to give up. The manager wanted to give me the milk and 1,000 yuan, but I declined. Instead, he left with the understanding that “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
People often ask, “What are the benefits of practicing Dafa?” or “Does Falun Gong require payment?” These questions cannot be fully explained in just a few words, because everyone’s understanding differs regarding what constitutes a “benefit.”
In today’s society, many people are driven by the notion that making money is important and cast their conscience aside. Yet, my own experience in cultivation has taught me that Falun Gong is a cultivation practice of the Buddha Fa, a path that transcends the mundane world. As cultivators, we strive to be good people by adhering to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We view enduring hardship as a source of joy. We regard letting go of fame, self-interest, and sentimentality as a means of spiritual elevation. We work and live normally within society, and whatever we earn constitutes the rightful rewards we deserve.
In the 27 years that I have been practicing, my family of four has not spent a single penny on medical expenses. We enjoy excellent health and are free of physical suffering. In my business, I prioritize the interests of my customers, rather than being swayed by the pursuit of profit. Consequently, my business naturally thrives. Master has saved my life on two occasions. These are blessings that money cannot buy and are bestowed by the grace of Dafa.
Since its introduction on May 13, 1992, Falun Dafa has brought physical and spiritual benefits to hundreds of millions of people, fostering a resurgence of moral values. Amidst the CCP’s slanderous propaganda and violent suppression, I am sharing my personal experiences to set the record straight. May all sentient beings under the heavens have a beautiful future.
