(Clearwisdom.net) As the evil in China has been radically decimated, a large number of disciples recently restarted cultivation. I restarted cultivation in 2006, so I know how difficult it is to do. Today, I write my experiences to encourage fellow practitioners. Do not be disappointed or feel self pity because the hardest difficulty of restarting cultivation are human notions such as feeling yourself falling behind, feeling there is not enough time, or feeling you cannot reach high levels. Such notions will hinder you. Tribulations are caused by ourselves, therefore, we need to compensate for them by redoubling our efforts.
I started cultivation on May 13, 1996. However, after the persecution, I gradually slacked off my will of striving forward and even didn't know the solem responsibility of Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification.
On May 13, 2006, Master's birthday, I finally remembered that I was a Dafa disciple and came back to cultivation. However, it was not easy to restart cultivation. At the beginning, I felt I fell behind in every aspect and didn't know where to start. But Master has said that if there was only one day left before Fa-rectification ended, we would have a chance on that day. Finally, I chose to restart studying the Fa. I have a lot of time every day, however, my tribulations at home were very serious. Therefore, I had to study the Fa after everyone fell asleep. Most of the time, I study until 4:00 am and sometimes until 6:00 am. After several months of studying the Fa, remembering the Fa by heart, and sending forth righteous thoughts often, in addition to handing out a large amount of flyers and materials, I felt my xinxing had been greatly upgraded and my tribulations also had become light. The things that happened in the past seemed as if in a dream rather than reality.
My third eye has been open since I restarted cultivation. In another dimension at the beginning, I was in hell. My face there was very ugly. I looked for Dafa everywhere. The period that I spent in hell was about two months. After that, I started to cultivate from the lowest level. The first month my body was as long as a city, and after a week, my body became as long as Shannan area. At this time, my sending forth righteous thoughts became very powerful. Sometimes, a very big black material disappeared in one or two seconds.
My celestial eye then closed and I was not able to see anything until July or August 2007. Sitting in meditation, I suddenly found that there were a lot of small wheels on my body. They were so small, just like scales stacked together. Then, I looked closely at them and found they were all 卍 symbols.
Every practitoner knows what卍 symbols stand for. I was so surprised that I could not believe how I could reach this level since I just restarted to cultivate for about one year. However, they were real卍 symbols. After that, I saw them several times, more clearly. I thought it was that Master encouraged me to strive forward. There was no reason for me to lose confidence. Of course, I paid close attention to doing well the three things.
I have been saying so much. I just mainly wanted to tell fellow practitioners who restarted cultivation that if we pay close attention to cultivation and do well in the three things, our gong will transcend the Three Realms and it will increase more and more quickly. Sometimes, increasing gong only takes a few minutes. My fellow practitioners who restarted cultivation, we need to have confidence. Do not hinder yourself. We need to go forward on our own path. Tribulations are caused by ourselves, therefore, we need to overcome them and redouble our efforts.
