(Clearwisdom.net) I am a technology specialist in China who obtained the Fa on May 13, 1996. I have personally experienced the wonders and beauty of Dafa.
Obtaining the Fa
I had been working hard for a promotion and felt extremely exhausted, both mentally and physically. I met all the requirements, and my friend told me to bribe the officials to get it done. I refused to do that and failed to land the promotion. I felt so indignant that I talked to the officials and the secretary of the mayor about it. Although I finally got the promotion, I developed the attachment to fame. During the next few years, I was too attached to my position. I felt that things were unfair. I couldn’t enjoy my food or sleep well. My body was in terrible shape due to drinking and smoking. I also lost some teeth. My wife worried about me and asked me to take walks in the park every morning.
In May 1996, people were practicing many kinds of qigong, but I noticed Falun Gong. It was free to learn and there was no membership. Furthermore, I really liked the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Therefore, I began to learn the practice.
After I obtained the Fa, all my illnesses disappeared, and I quit smoking and drinking. I felt so peaceful in my heart that I became a totally different person.
After reading Zhuan Falun, I had a new understanding of my job. Why did I always try to get a higher position? I was after fame and profit. That was something I definitely wanted to get rid of. After I let go of my attachment, my boss increased my salary. I just let things happen naturally, and the results turned out to be very good.
After the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, I asked myself a question: Should I still practice cultivation? I would have to lose out on some personal gain and possibly even my job. I thought it over and over again. My final answer was yes. I could not give up such a good practice.
My Experience of Floating in the Air
I have experienced levitating in the air twice. The first time was the spring of 1999. I was meditating in the park when it seemed that the people around me had disappeared and the sound of their voices became smaller and smaller. At that point, I realized that I was up in the air. I sprang up 20 centimeters high and came back down. I kept springing up and down. I knew clearly what was happening to me. I felt very comfortable and excited. Then a coordinator came and told me to control myself, so as not to distract others.
I agreed with her. Then I stopped going up. After the meditation, practitioners said that my Great Heavenly Circuit was open. From then on, when I meditated, I tried to make myself stay on the ground. The coordinator asked some tall practitioners to sit around me, so that other people could not see me. Two months later, I did not spring up anymore.
The second occurrence began when I meditated at night at home, and I levitated again. This also lasted for two months.
Two Laboratory Reports
In 2004, I got a new job. I made a lot of friends through networking, and I slacked off in studying the Fa and doing exercises. Sometimes, when I was with my friends, I smoked and drank some beer.
During a medical examination, I was told that my liver had some problems. My wife was a doctor, and she asked me to go to the hospital. I looked inward and knew that I was lazy in studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I said to her seriously: “I will do the exercises for half a month. After that, if I still have liver disease, I will go to the hospital. If not, please respect Falun Dafa.” Half a month later, I went to the hospital with my wife for an examination. My lab report showed that I was totally fine.
My wife compared that report to the previous one. She was so surprised. I could tell from her expression that she accepted the fact that Dafa was wonderful. She believed in science and couldn’t explain the result. She had read Zhuan Falun before, but did not practice cultivation. Before the persecution, she supported me in practicing Dafa, but the persecution really scared her. She began to stop me from studying the Fa and doing the exercises. After the examination, she totally changed. She did not restrain me from practicing anymore.
I put the two reports together on the bookshelf to show my friends. They were also shocked.
Being Compassionate to Sentient Beings
I have a friend with whom I worked for nine years, and then he was promoted to be a director. After the persecution began, he was actively involved with composing a pamphlet to discredit Falun Gong, and I really looked down on him for this. He used to be very healthy, but half a year later, he got heart disease and was in the hospital for a month and a half. I thought that his condition resulted from defaming Dafa, and when he asked me to visit, I refused. This upset him, and our friendship was broken.
Then I looked inward and felt that I had been wrong. I should have gone to see him as his friend. I wasn’t compassionate toward him. Although he had done something wrong, I still needed to talk with him about it. In the Chinese New Year, I called him, and we reconciled.
One day, he came to my house to visit. I showed him a video that analyzed the staged self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square. As he watched it, his facial expression changed and his hands shook. Since he was a scientist, he easily understood and agreed with what the video said. He could easily tell that the incident was a fraud. He watched the video twice. Then he said, “How cruel the Communist Party is!” He asked me many questions and we talked for a long time.
Finally, he came to realize the wonders and the beauty of Dafa. He shook my hand and said, “If I didn’t come over and learn the facts, I would have gone to work at a brainwashing center.” The officials from the 610 Office had invited him to work there and guaranteed that he would be well paid, and he had been thinking about accepting the job before our conversation.
