(Clearwisdom.net) Reading Master's new poem "Stirred by Reflection," I felt uneasy and guilty; that I was not worthy of Master's compassionate salvation. Today, I've summoned the courage to speak out about my opportunity to cultivate and of Master's saving grace. From now on, I will be a true disciple in the Fa-rectification period and cultivate diligently.
I have experienced various hardships and tribulations since my childhood, but every time, I was able to get away from them and survive. It must be that Master was already taking care of me back then. Here, I'd like to share with you how I obtained the Fa and how Master gave me hints.
Before I started to practice Falun Gong, I had practiced other qigong and felt frustrated at not being able to improve quickly. One day, as I turned around in my room, I saw a tall man in modern clothes standing on the balcony outside my parents' room and smiling at me. I can never forget that warm smile. I smiled back sincerely in return. The scene lasted for quite some time. Then suddenly I realized that it was not possible for me to see the balcony outside the other room through the wall. I ran to the balcony, but of course, the man was no longer there.
Not long after this, I obtained the Fa. When I opened the book Zhuan Falun and saw Master's photo, I realized that the person I had seen on the balcony was Master. I was so grateful! Whenever my determination to cultivate faltered, when I was in tribulations or persecuted, I thought of this and my determination and belief strengthened. I should never give up cultivation or belittle myself, as I am a Dafa disciple chosen by Master!
I'd also like to share two other miraculous incidents. When had I just obtained the Fa, I often went to visit my relatives and friends in the hope that they could also obtain the Fa. I went to the home of one good friend frequently and told him wonderful things about Falun Dafa.
When I went to his home one afternoon, I brought a book of Master's lectures with me. As we chatted for a long time, it became dark and I noticed that the book was open to the page with Master's photo. When I looked at it, I saw that Master, who sat in the chair in the book's photo, stood up, left the chair, walked in a big circle, smiled at us and then sat back into the chair. I couldn't help but scream with excitement. It was really a miracle.
My friend's father saw this as well. He grabbed the book and put it in an even darker place, thinking that this definitely could not be seen without light. But the miracle happened again: Master stood up from the chair again, walked a whole circle while smiling and then sat back into the chair. Everybody was dumbfounded.
Another day shortly after I obtained the Fa, I went to visit this friend again. A granddaughter of a neighbor, who was two or three years old at the time, came to his home as well. I showed her the Falun picture and asked her if it was spinning. She replied: "Yes, it is spinning, but I have seen it before." I was surprised and asked where she had seen it. She said: "It was in front of the water tap bench at my home. A man even talked to me." I took out Zhuan Falun, opened it to the page with Master's photo and asked her, "Is this the man you saw?" She replied: "Yes, it is him. But the clothes and hair were not the same. The man I saw was in a yellow robe and had curly blue hair."
After witnessing these two incidents, my friend started to cultivate in Falun Dafa with a firm determination. As the saying goes, "Buddha saves the predestined."
I continued my cultivation even after the persecution began in 1999. Though I went through a period of time when I relaxed in my cultivation and was not quite sure of the future, I never wavered in my belief. I can never forget Master's benevolent hints. Fourteen years have passed in a blink of eye, and I am now in my thirties. Though the persecution continues, my determination in following Master and cultivating diligently has become firmer.
More and more people are coming to know the facts about Falun Dafa, and more and more people are coming to obtain the Fa. I would like to say to all: Do not lose this precious chance that comes only once in millions of years, when the Lord Buddha extends his saving grace. How fortunate and blessed are we!
