(Clearwisdom.net) Every time I hear the sound of my father's voice reciting the Fa, I feel gratified and realize profoundly that Dafa rectifies the human mind.

I went to appeal in Beijing on July 20, 1999. When I returned home, my family immediately launched into a big argument. I explained my thoughts to my father and told him about my personal experience in Beijing. My father then understood why Dafa disciples were appealing in Beijing.

Nevertheless, my father had a hard believing that a government would dare to lie to the whole nation on TV. He had me watch the slanderous news, full of illogical reasoning, on TV. I pointed each falsehood out to him, and then he saw the fallacies in the TV programs and no longer believed them.

In the autumn of 1999, my father and I tearfully finished reading a number of articles, including Ding Yan's experience sharing article, and stories of Dafa disciples who had gone to Beijing to validate the Fa. These accounts moved my father deeply. Afterwards, whenever we got practitioners' experience sharing articles, truth-clarifying materials, or Master's new lectures, my father read them. He has kept on reading them since 1999 and understands most things related to cultivation.

When I planned to appeal in Beijing again, my father no longer opposed me. He firmly believed that revered Master would protect me and I would return safely. I did return home safely, which again was a testament to the power of Dafa.

The evil mobilized everything at its disposal to slander Dafa, but it couldn't stop me from clarifying the truth about Falun Gong to my father.

One day in 2002, he and I had a long conversation. I told him how I benefited from Dafa, of Master's great benevolence, and my worry about sentient beings' salvation while being deceived by the evil Chinese Communist Party. After that, my father began to read Master's lectures, and began to study the Fa and do the exercises with me.

Later on, when I occasionally was down emotionally, my father led me to study the Fa, do the exercises, and wake me up to send forth righteous thoughts at midnight. He also distributed truth-clarifying materials.

My father and I talked about all sorts of things. I always had a lot to say, telling him when I read a good truth-clarifying article, as well as my thoughts after reading the article. We also shared cultivation experiences of looking within and understandings after reading the Fa. It was as if we had a mini experience sharing conference every week.

Clarifying the Truth

A job search brought me in contact with several people who were not practitioners. I explained the facts about Falun Gong to them. One person finally said, "OK, I see. Jiang Zemin has a different opinion from Falun Gong practitioners." I felt something was wrong after hearing this, but I didn't know how to explain further at the time. For days I kept on thinking how to explain more clearly.

One day the person asked me whether or not I had a boyfriend. I told him I didn't. Then he said, "Your parents want you to have a good future, so that's why they push you sometimes to marry." Immediately, I knew how I should clarify the truth to him.

I looked into his eyes, saying sincerely and somberly, "All parents wish a bright future for their children. So do my father and mother. However, if I were to date someone who cannot tell right from wrong, how would my parents regard this person? How would I regard him?" I kept on, "So many people have died as a result of the persecution. They also have parents, just like you and me. Facing persecution, if one cannot tell the difference between good and evil, and doesn't have a sense of righteousness, is this a good person?" After hearing what I said, the person felt shamed and at once said, "I do not oppose Falun Gong; instead, I support you. Although I'm not practicing Falun Gong now, I will in the future." After that, this person became very respectful and friendly toward me.

Sending Righteous Thoughts Outside a Prison

My father and I sent righteous thoughts outside a prison. After arriving there, I discovered slanderous slogans on the wall of the prison. Having no equipment to remove the paint, I wondered how to clean up the words, blurting out how nice it would be to have spray paint handy. To my surprise my father said, "Yes, we have some." We spray-painted over the slanderous words. On our way home, I felt a powerful and purely righteous energy field around me, making me feel so comfortable and peaceful. That feeling was beyond the words.

"Let Master Decide Everything"

My father suffered from illness karma and had a fever over 40 ^oC (over 104 ^oF) for over ten days, during which he did not get better and didn't have righteous thoughts.

I said to my father, "If you can't hold on, how about we buy some medicine? If you don't consider it an illness and don't want to go to the hospital, let me know whatever you want to eat. I will buy delicious food for you. It's up to you--medicine or food?" My father said, "It is not an illness. Let Master decide everything." He soon recovered and often said with gratitude, "The most important thing is to firmly believe in Master and Dafa."

My Father Reciting the Fa

My father began to recite the Fa, starting with Hong Yin. He can now recite every poem in Hong Yin. His voice can be heard reciting the Fa each morning and evening.

Udumbara flowers, the special flower that blossom only once every 3,000 years, appeared at my home many years ago. I knew it was Master encouraging me. My father and I will firmly believe in Master and the Fa and offer more sentient beings salvation.
