(Clearwisdom.net) In May 1995, I started to practice Falun Dafa. While I have gone through many ups and downs while validating Dafa for more than ten years, I have also experienced many miracles and wonders of Dafa and told others about them in order to promote the Fa. I wanted to write an article to share my experiences with fellow practitioners, but my old concepts, such as being concerned about my low education level or poor writing skills, had stopped me from taking the initiative until today. Thanks to encouragement from other practitioners, the following is my first article.
In the year 2000, my husband was arrested and imprisoned for practicing and promoting Falun Gong. In order to help my detained husband and other practitioners stay up-to-date on the Fa, I brought him the latest articles of Teacher and insisted on visiting him regularly on a monthly basis. At the beginning, it was not so easy. Every time before I went out, I stood in front of Master's portrait and asked for strength. The jail warden, who had persecuted Falun Gong practitioners for a long time, usually did not allow me to visit. I kept reciting the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate the evil behind him. Meanwhile, I insisted on seeing my husband or else I would not leave. I also told the warden that it was a sin to persecute Dafa disciples, one that will likely result in karmic retribution from the heavens. By explaining the facts about Dafa and the CCP's evil nature, I was able to deliver Master's latest articles to my husband in the presence of the warden. Without protection and guidance from Master or without my firm belief in Dafa, this could never have happened.
In 2004, I noticed that my husband's complexion had changed. He looked thin and was talking illogically against Dafa. When I asked him what was going on, he said that his brother had come to visit him. I then realized that his brother, who practiced a dangerous qigong and had bad stuff attached to himself, had brought these bad things onto my husband. My husband would only regain his health when he returned to the righteous path of cultivation. But since I had less than 20 minutes to visit my husband and was watched by the guards, I could not say much. I told him, "I will send you letters when I get home. When you read the letters, you shall be free of sickness. Meanwhile, you should think about the reason why your body has remained healthy during the last ten years." Then I sent three letters to my husband. I knew that they would be inspected, but this was also a good chance to validate Dafa. In my letters, I described the true story of my husband's physical condition before and after practicing Falun Gong, and how he became healthy and happy after practicing. The next time I wanted to visit my husband, I called the jail warden and he said to me, "You cannot come. Even if you come here, you will not be allowed to see your husband. What you wrote in your letters was a forbidden topic." I replied, "I was only writing the truth. My husband's illnesses were cured by Falun Gong. Only Dafa can save him now!"
After a few days, my husband wrote to me, saying that after reading those three letters, he was immediately feeling well and soon his sickness disappeared. I was so moved that I started to cry. I knelt down in front of Master's portrait, but did not know how to thank him. But I sensed that Teacher always protects us, his disciples.
The jail authorities always inspect and read incoming and outgoing mail. My three letters and the reply letter from my husband were also read by the jail warden. As a result of our continued efforts, the warden finally changed his attitude toward Dafa and stopped persecuting practitioners. When our son visited my husband, the warden said to him, "Dafa is really working on the body of your father."
My hometown is outside of Hebei, and we moved to this city because of my husband's job. On New Year's Day and on other holidays, I go back home to visit my relatives. During my trips, I came into contact with many people, and that was an opportunity to clarify the truth about Dafa. One time when I took a bus, I went to the back and wanted to use the double-row seating to have a more comfortable rest. Since there were not too many passengers and they all preferred sitting in the front, I thought that was all right. As soon as I sat down, I saw a woman in her 50's getting on the bus. She went straight to the back of the bus and sat down right next to me. With so many empty seats, why did she sit next to me, an elderly lady? Wasn't that an arrangement by Teacher because this human being needed to hear the truth about Dafa? As we were chatting, I wondered how I could lead our conversation in the right direction. I said to her, "Young sister, there are not many passengers on the bus but you and I are sitting so close. This means that we have a predestined relationship." During the trip, I talked about the good things about Dafa to her and the evil nature of the CCP, plus I touched upon how Heaven is going to destroy the CCP and why it is wise to withdraw from its organizations. Towards the end of our conversation, she slapped her leg and exclaimed, "Aha! Big sister, we really have a predestined relationship. Today I came to you to hear the truth about Dafa!"
I was very touched! The knowing side of a life wishes to be saved and is eager to hear the truth. Unfortunately, there often exists a shield that is hindering them from doing so. We Dafa disciples need to help crack this hindrance, so we must do the three things well. If we can genuinely cultivate righteously and advance diligently in assisting Master in the Fa-rectification, we will be able to thank him for his grace and painstaking salvation of us.
