(Clearwisdom.net) I became a Falun Dafa practitioner the beginning of 2008 and have since experienced tremendous physical and psychological changes. I feel deeply indebted to Master for his compassionate salvation. I wish to express my gratitude to Master and also thank fellow practitioners for their unselfish help.

In the summer of 1998 my husband obtained the precious book Zhuan Falun from a colleague. My husband then became a practitioner. I also read the book and occasionally practiced the exercises with him, but I did not become a genuine practitioner. The police nabbed my husband after July 20, 1999. During my efforts to get him released from jail, I strongly felt society's dark side and the evil nature of the Communist Party.

Toward the end of 2007 my husband showed me a video that shocked me--it told ancient prophecies about today's society. Over the years my husband had told me about Dafa's wonderful effects, which quietly changed me. I have long experienced the beauty and wonders of Dafa. I secretly found the book Zhuan Falun and started reading from cover to cover. Within a few days I had read the book three times. On several occasions as I read I was in tears. This time I truly understood the message. I finally obtained the Fa! I knelt and kowtowed to Master's photo in the book. I thanked Master for not abandoning me and made a promise: I will never disappoint Master! I will diligently cultivate myself and follow Master to my original home.

Because I am a latecomer among practitioners, I feel a sense of urgency and want to catch up with the rapid pace of Fa rectification. I cannot study the Fa at work but do so at home whenever possible. I have read all of Master's lectures. I have felt Master healing my body and sensed many Faluns spinning in different parts of my body, even when doing the exercises. They are beautiful experiences.

During everyday life and work, I measure myself with a cultivator's standard and try to be the best person I can be. In addition, I also try to conduct myself according the Fa and assimilate to the nature of the universe. I am determined to become a true cultivator.

Not long after I became a practitioner, my younger brother and I returned to our parents' home. During our visit I told my brother about Dafa's wonders and beauty. My father heard our conversation and reacted angrily. Being a new practitioner, I was not ready to explain many tough questions they asked. But I also did not want them to badmouth Dafa and Master, because that would have been a serious wrong. I told them with smile on my face, "Dafa is wonderful. My husband is not trying to spoil anyone's life. The Communist Party is evil and prevents people from having a normal life." Because of my insistence, my father was furious and refused to eat dinner. This was my first test of my faith in Dafa. I knew from the bottom of my heart that no one could force me to leave Dafa, because Dafa was part of my soul and more important than my life. But in that circumstance I did not know how to validate the Fa and do better.

Before the Summer Olympics, CCP agents unconstitutionally picked up many practitioners. My husband worried that I might be fearful. I told him I was unafraid, because the Fa would decide everything. I really felt confident we would not have any trouble. As long as we do our best to fulfill Master's requested Three Things, the evil does not dare to touch us.

We continued to study the Fa and do the exercise every day, and kept clarifying the truth and encouraging people to quit the Communist Party and its affiliates. One day the police took my husband away, saying they wanted to investigate certain matters. I was at home during the arrest. When I heard loud voices from downstairs and saw my husband being dragged away, I felt a bit nervous, but it was not fear. I constantly sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind the police, forbidding them to persecute Dafa disciples. I also moved Dafa books and truth clarification DVD's to a secure place. Then I went downstairs and explained the truth to the police. The evil must be gravely frightened before Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts. The police entered my home with a search warrant but did not dare to conduct a search. They said, "We are just doing our job. Please, just show us a place of your choosing."

Once the police left, a colleague arrived to deliver something. After I calmly clarified the truth, this colleague agreed to quit the Communist Party and its affiliates. Because I did not panic, my husband also kept his righteous thoughts and asked Master for help. Soon, he returned.

This experience was the result of Master's compassion; it also highlighted the importance of trusting the Fa and Master.

After I read all of Master's lectures since the year 2000, I began to understand that the old forces in the universe had arranged the persecution and that Master disagrees with their arrangements. Since the old forces are attempting to interfere with Master's Fa rectification, we should not passively endure it. I asked my husband to teach me the gestures and verses for sending righteous thoughts. We began to send righteous thoughts together every day.

When I first began to clarify the truth I did not know how to do it or what to say. I thought I would begin with a classmate who was also my colleague at work. I gathered my courage and told him about the heavenly principle of retribution. I told him about the CCP's evil nature, and that people have been quitting the Party and that if he does not wish to be eliminated along with it, he should quit. I knew Master was there that day to guide me. My colleague decided to quit the Party after he listened to me. I was very happy, not only for rescuing a life but also for myself, having made the first step. From that day on, whenever I have the opportunity, I tell people the facts and encourage them to quit the Party. I hope more and more people can be offered salvation.

My husband, a veteran practitioner, is working on Dafa projects to offer sentient beings salvation and rescue fellow practitioners. I really wanted to participate in these activities. But due to safety concerns, the practitioners do not want to involve more people. When I saw how much effort they put into these projects, I started to worry about being left behind. Sometimes I felt a little jealous. It was a painful process to relinquish these attachments.

One day, other practitioners contacted my husband. I thought it would be nice if I could share some of their workload. When he returned with information, my husband told me to type it into the computer. I realized that Master saw my mindset and gave me an opportunity to do more work. From that day on I began to get involved in certain projects.

I have much to write about, but I cannot find the words to describe my gratitude to Master for his compassionate salvation. I think the best way is to become more diligent and do the "Three Things" to the best of my ability.
