(Clearwisdom.net) I am a female Dafa disciple from Shandong Province. I am 43 years old. I began Falun Dafa practice in June 1998. On the third day after I obtained the Fa, the twelve allergies that I suffered from for seven years all disappeared. Master let me see some wondrous scenes that ordinary people cannot see. Falun Gong is really a miraculous practice.
After July 20, 1999, Dafa disciples were persecuted. Because I lived on the border of the village and I have two children, I did not contact other practitioners at that time. When I heard the news and went to see fellow practitioners and share our experiences, I learned that the assistant at our village's Falun Gong practice site had gone to Beijing to appeal and was arrested.
I decided to walk righteously on the path of validating the Fa with my two children and to be a qualified Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioner. In 2002, the evil was extremely rampant. Because a practitioner who was sent to a forced labor camp mentioned my name, the evil waited outside my home all night from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. I sent forth righteous thoughts that I must let the people know the truth. My children and I spread truth-clarifying materials all over the local areas.
Since the evil started to persecute Dafa, I studied the Fa at night and did the exercises in the morning every day with my two children and I never stopped. When the persecutors saw us, they did not even dare to look at us directly. I truly realized what Master told us, that the evil will no longer exist if we have righteous thoughts and righteous actions.
Since in ordinary society people have all kinds of thoughts, when I clarify the truth to them, I talk to them in accordance with their thoughts. For example, if they have a family dispute, I will tell them that I am a Falun Gong practitioner and I am not sure if they can agree with my opinion. According to Dafa's principles, when conflicts arise between two people, everyone needs to look inside him or herself. Then the conflict will be resolved. The person will usually agree with me. So as long as we base ourselves in Dafa's principles to clarify the truth with kindness and in accordance with their thoughts, the people will usually understand the truth of Dafa.
I place a great deal of emphasis on sending forth righteous thoughts. When worldwide Dafa disciples send forth righteous thoughts four times each day and local practitioners send forth righteous thoughts together, I also do it, no matter what I am doing at the time. I concentrate on sending righteous thoughts every second to eliminate the old forces and evil beings, and to destroy all elements of the Communist evil specter and all of its evil factors. I will break through all of the old forces' arrangements and their barriers. No evil can disturb my cultivation in Dafa. Many times I visited my fellow practitioners who could not step forward because of their attachments of fear. In order to resolve the doubts in their minds, we sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the attachment of fear. As long as we base ourselves on Dafa's principles, there's no problem that we cannot solve. Gradually, fellow practitioners stepped forward and walked on the path of validating the Fa and improving as one body as Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners.
I am illiterate, so in many situations I can only use my heart to validate the Fa. Whenever the officers from the township and the town finance bureau came to my home, I used Dafa's principles and my personal experience of benefiting from Dafa to tell them the facts about Dafa. They all smiled and said that Dafa is indeed good.
In order to have a good cultivation environment at home, I passed two great tests. The first time was when my husband broke my tape player. I still continued to practice even without the tape player. The second time, the evil controlled my husband to slander Master and Dafa and try to destroy Dafa books. At the beginning, I bit his finger to stop him from ripping the Dafa book. Then I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil which controlled him and to destroy the evil party culture inside his mind. Gradually he woke up. I also apologized to him and told him that I should not have bitten his finger.
Master taught us that a cultivator has no enemies, and if you do not love your enemies, you will not be able to reach Consummation. From then on, I firmly cultivated myself. As long as I understand something from the Fa's principles, I will certainly comply with it, maintain my xinxing and elevate my plane of thought. When dealing with relatives or neighbors, even for a small thing I will do it well and establish a good image for Dafa. With my parents and brothers, instead of using ordinary people's logic, I use Dafa's principles to handle everything. I constantly give up and get rid of the attachments to material gain and selfishness to become a person who completely lives for other people. All of my family members are very happy.
I frequently share my cultivation experiences with fellow practitioners, and we help each other in our daily lives. For example, when my family harvests the crops, fellow practitioners will come and help us. When my fellow practitioners need help, I help them, too. No matter if it is Dafa work or ordinary people's things, we handled it very well. My husband saw all of this and he was very happy about it. When practitioners came to my house, my husband would ask them to stay for a few days to share their experiences, study the Fa and do the exercises with me. He no longer interrupts my communication with fellow practitioners. So a good environment was created in my home.
I taught my husband with patience that no matter what we do, we should base it on Dafa's principles, instead of ordinary people's logic. We should not use human notions and thoughts. Human notions were arranged by the old forces. We should use "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to guide us and walk on the path of validating the Fa. I also led him to make truth-clarifying materials.
In the summer of 2005, my husband truly started cultivating in Dafa. Because he got a serious illness, the left part of his body was paralyzed. He also had symptoms of convulsions. His mouth and eyes were crooked. He could not talk, lost control of his bodily functions, and could not take care of himself. He was hospitalized but it did not help. After he learned Falun Dafa, he could get out of bed after six or seven days. After two weeks he could take care of himself again. After one month, he could drive again. Right now his heath condition is back to normal.
Now our entire family has obtained the Fa. I cannot describe how happy and fortunate I am. Together with my family and fellow practitioners, I will cultivate myself more diligently and improve as one body. To be a qualified Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioner, I will do the three things well, practice the exercises, send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth to save sentient beings.
Thank you very much, Master!
