(Clearwisdom.net) In my cultivation, I realized that if we can cultivate to the point of constantly maintaining righteous thoughts, just as we use our natural inborn capabilities, then the evil will have no chance to take advantage of us. It should be just like the practitioner whom Teacher mentioned, who kept shouting “Falun Dafa is good” in detention in order to shock the evil, or the practitioner whose leg was fractured from torture, but still sat down in meditation and her leg was healed miraculously. In this way, we are constantly maintaining righteous thoughts and are able to send out strong righteous thoughts naturally and promptly. We won’t blank out when faced with emergency situations, nor will we forget what we should do during certain incidents. If all practitioners could do this, it would certainly be as Teacher said,

“When Dafa disciples' human thoughts become minimal, when their righteous thoughts become strong, and when they are levelheaded and steady, the evil has nothing to capitalize on then, which makes the situation of Dafa disciples' Fa-validation more stable.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. International Fa Conference”)

I used to have several illnesses, and when I first started to cultivate and my xinxing was not at the right level, these illness symptoms reappeared several times. Whenever it happened, I was able to follow Teacher’s words to maintain my xinxing and pass the test with righteous thoughts.

The most severe test took place one evening a few years ago. I suddenly felt nauseated, kept throwing up and going to the bathroom, as if I had food poisoning. I even thought that I was about to die. I shouted with all my energy, “No! Regardless whether I signed a contract with the old forces or not, I won’t fall! Even if I signed one, I absolutely will not acknowledge it. Teacher, I want to follow you and go home!” A few hours passed and I lay on the bed as if I was dying. It was time to send forth righteous thoughts and I urged myself, “Get up. Send forth righteous thoughts!” I was so weak that I leaned on the wall to send forth righteous thoughts, yet my body slid down. I called my name and told myself loudly, “Don’t fall down!” After sending forth righteous thoughts, I was totally soaked in sweat. The next morning when it was time to do the exercises, it was difficult for me to stand up, not to mention making any movements. I hung on to do the standing exercises. I kept reminding myself, while doing the exercises, “I'm Li Hongzhi's disciple, I don't want other arrangements or acknowledge them.” (“Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference”). That hour seemed to be extremely long. I passed it by counting second by second. When I was done, I felt a little relaxed. Then I did the sitting exercise. After that, it felt like my body had completely changed. Most of those terrible symptoms had disappeared. At nine o’clock, I went to my classroom. My students didn’t notice anything different about me, only a few saw that my face was a little bit pale. I had passed the test. I knew that Teacher suffered the pain for me. I felt very uneasy, yet grateful.

In 2001, I went with fellow practitioners to Tienanmen Square in Beijing to validate the Fa. The day after that, I started to vomit blood heavily. I didn’t think much about it and just said these words in my mind, “If that’s what I should endure, I will endure it! If it’s to persecute me since I went to Tienanmen Square, it should stop right away!” Suddenly, the vomiting stopped, and I never vomited blood again.

During the past dozen years of my cultivation, whenever I had “illness” symptoms, I reminded myself of Teacher’s words, “I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” (Zhuan Falun, 2000 version, Lecture 1: Characteristics of Falun Dafa). I simply trusted Teacher and Dafa, and never had a single thought about taking medicine. Once, I was hit by a motorcycle. My leg was covered with blood. I didn’t go to the hospital, just did the exercises. Another time, I had a cramp (according to medical theory, a cramp is caused by a calcium deficiency) during the sitting exercise. I said to the substance that made me cramp, “Dafa disciples do not lack anything. Go away! Don’t interfere with me, a Dafa disciple!” I kept meditating and the cramp symptom just disappeared. Once, I went to participate in a Fa-study group. All of sudden I felt dizzy and almost fainted while riding on the bus. I knew it was the evil trying to stop me from attending the Fa-study. I rejected it from my heart, and went to the Fa-study group after taking a little rest.

Our truth clarification is to save people, thus it is important to keep strong righteous thoughts. We should have the thought of “I must save you” when we tell people the truth about Falun Gong, and be patient. It may take more than one time to talk to people, sometimes even several dozen times or even over a year to persuade a person to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. My work requires me to visit different schools. Whenever I go to a school, I remind myself not to forget that my mission is to save people. Otherwise, there is no point for me to go to that school. Thus, when I arrive at that school, I will first go to the school administrators and tell them the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution.

I also ran into danger during truth clarification, but was unharmed with Teacher’s protection and Teacher's giving me strength. Once, I gave a teacher a Shen Yun performance DVD. She played it in the office immediately. One person said that it was Falun Gong material and reported it to a director in the school immediately. That director, who had quit the CCP already, said, “Why do you report this? It is a belief, and one should have the freedom to choose one's belief.” This settled the incident. I knew that Teacher had arranged this in order to protect me.

Concerning safety issues, I never take this matter lightly, nor do I bet on my luck. I often say to my apartment, “Remember, you must safeguard Dafa books and Dafa materials. Don’t let evil get close to you!” To all the people who come to my apartment, I have a thought, “If you are here to damage Dafa, you will never succeed!” When distributing truth-clarification materials, I have a thought, “Let people with a predestined relationship come to pick up these materials quickly; let those without a predestined relationship not touch these materials; and let evil beings not see them!”

Usually I keep a thought in my mind, “I am a Dafa disciple!” When walking, riding buses, or doing housework, I recite the Fa. I want to have Dafa fill my body in all dimensions and not leave room or an opportunity for my selfishness to exist.

I want to take this opportunity to tell those fellow practitioners who can’t see or feel their supernatural capabilities yet, “Believe in Dafa. Believe in Teacher. Dafa disciples do have supernatural capabilities for real!” The use of those powers is restricted by our xinxing. The purer our righteous thoughts are, the more powerful our capability is. The premise is: Have faith in Teacher and Dafa, never have any doubts; study the Fa and cultivate xinxing, and never slack off.

Please point out my gaps!
