(Clearwisdom.net) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. Back then I had many kinds of diseases and Dafa truly gave me a second life. Under the protection and care of our compassionate Master and guided by Dafa, for eight years I have steadily walked the cultivation path of validating Dafa. Though everything I have done has been small and simple, I would still like to give a report to Master, as well as share with fellow practitioners in the hopes that we can all improve together. Although I used the term "report," actually Master knows everything because he is always with us. I deeply understand that I do not have the ability to do much. Everything I have done is through the power of Dafa. It was Master who gave me hints, took care of me, led me to do what a Dafa practitioner should do, and helped me walk the path that I was supposed to walk.
Regularly Study the Fa and Improve as a Whole
Since the persecution of Dafa began on July 20, 1999, I have always studied the Fa very earnestly. I have always studied three lectures of Fa every day. Under the guidance of the Fa, I have been able to recognize right from wrong and I am resolutely determined to cultivate to the end. I urge fellow practitioners I am frequently in touch with to study the Fa well. We always have experience sharing in my home. A practitioner said, "It doesn't matter how bad the situation is outside, once I come to your home, I can't feel it anymore, because at those times, whatever bad things I might hear about, I'm not moved." Although there are not that many practitioners in our area, we have improved together and firmly walked through this difficult portion of our cultivation path.
In these eight years of bloody persecution, I have believed firmly in Master and Dafa. As soon as I enlightened that I should do something, I would give my best effort to accomplish it. Especially when fellow practitioners needed my help, no matter how serious the situation was, I would help resolve the problems with no hesitation. Because I responded to them in such a calm manner, in their minds it seemed I could accomplish these things very easily. Actually, at times I really did not know where to find things, but there was never a time that I could not find what was needed. Back then we were not making a lot of Dafa truth-clarification materials, and due to security concerns, everything was a very well-kept secret. Often I would have to take risks to go to several practitioners' homes to find the materials we needed. I enlightened to the understanding that it was our mighty Master who saw my sincere heart and led me to find what I was looking for. Thus, for the past several years, whatever materials another practitioner wanted, he or she would always come to me. This situation was also a great help to the practitioners around me in studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and distributing Dafa materials. When fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts emerged, whatever they wanted to do, we would be able to accomplish.
In 2001 when the Party most actively persecuting Dafa, I was followed and watched closely for a long time. However, I clarified the truth and passed out materials just as usual. In order to not implicate the practitioners around me, I would try to contact practitioners who lived far away from me. This way I could get away from the people trying to follow me, go get the materials, distribute the materials, and share with other practitioners. In this process, I saw that some practitioners could not get truth-clarification materials. To remedy this problem, I did some coordination work and delivered the materials to fellow practitioners on my own. We were thus able to provide enough truth-clarification materials for two areas. Everyone handed out materials and cultivated diligently. We improved together as a whole.
Helping Fellow Practitioners to Step forward and Validate the Fa
In the process of distributing materials and clarifying the truth, I saw that some practitioners could not step forward to validate the Fa. I then asked for more truth-clarification materials, gave them to these practitioners, and asked them to help me fold them. Gradually they were able to step forward to validate the Fa. Little by little, they all started to go out and hand out truth-clarification materials.
I found out that there was a family that once had a Fa-study site--both the mother and daughter are practitioners. However, because there were two children and elderly people in the home, at times no one would go to their home to study the Fa. Eventually, they just studied the Fa by themselves and lost the group Fa-study environment. Another practitioner and I started to go to their home to study the Fa so that these two practitioners could be part of group Fa-study again. Whichever group Fa-study I was in, I always handed out truth-clarification materials before and after Fa study. This way, the practitioners around me saw that I was doing it every day and nothing happened to me, and so they were able to gradually eliminate the attachment of fear and devote themselves to clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings. When I clarified the truth and handed out materials, I never kept it a secret among fellow practitioners. If another practitioner asked me, I just said that I was going to hand out truth-clarification materials. I believe that all practitioners need to step forward to validate the Fa and do what we are supposed to do. As long as our hearts are righteous and we do things with clear reasoning, we will be very safe. It is truly the situation that "One righteous mind can subdue one hundred evils," and everything will go very smoothly.
Now we have formed a small Fa-study group in my home and two practitioners come study the Fa with us. We study two lectures every day, one in the morning and one in the evening. This is because one of them has a night shift and my husband has a day shift. Both my husband and this practitioner stopped cultivating for a period of time after July 20, 1999, but now they are cultivating again. Both my sons have become practitioners, also.
Now fellow practitioners and I try to go out to clarify the truth face to face to people and convince them to quit the Communist Party and/or its associated organizations. If some practitioners are not confident enough about their abilities and want to go with me first, I arrange time to help them with no hesitation. In this way, they are gradually able to clarify the truth very well on their own. I believe that as long as everyone has righteous thoughts and actions and does the three things well, we will be able to stop the persecution immediately, and the evil will die on its own.
