(Clearwisdom.net) I run a small retail store in China. I started to learn Falun Dafa when I was sixteen years old. I have had many experiences over the seven years since then. I'd like to share some of them with my fellow practitioners here.
1) Once, a customer gave me a 100-Yuan note to pay for his shoes, which were 25 Yuan. When I gave him the change I found out that there was another 100-Yuan note stuck underneath the first one, so I gave one 100-Yuan-note back to him. Somehow he couldn't believe the fact and didn't want to take back the money. Then I explained to him, "I gave the money back to you because I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Our Teacher teaches us 'Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance,' so we cannot take other people's money!" He was so surprised to hear what I said and began to ask more about Falun Dafa. I answered all his questions. He left very satisfied.
2) Some time before 1999, I said, "Falun Dafa is good!" to one of my customers. Last year, this customer came to my store again and checked to see if I still practiced Falun Dafa. He told me that whenever he saw the rumors about Falun Dafa on TV news, he would think of the words I said to him: "Falun Dafa is good!"
3) I sell many toys in my store. One day, three little kids around 5 years old came in and looked at the toys. I gave them some cartoon cards and asked them if they had heard of Falun Gong. They said no. I told them that Falun Gong is the way to cultivate "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance." It teaches you to be good kids. As a good kid, you will not fight back when you are beaten and will not swear back when you are sworn at.
After for a while, they came back with a friend. I used the same way to clarify Dafa's truth to that child, too. Then they left with great joy. The next day, when they came to my store again to look at the toys, I found out that they really had memorized what I told them.
After a few days, one of the kid's parents came in and told me, "My son couldn't even stay home to eat his breakfast, as he wanted to come here again. He said that you taught them to be good kids..."
