Blessed to Be a Falun Dafa Practitioner During Hardship
I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from a rural area of Shandong Province. Before practicing Falun Dafa, I had stomach pain, enteritis, and other health problems. I suffered with tremendous pain and it seemed that life was not worth living. From time to time, the stomach pain was unbearable even though I didn't eat vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, or Chinese cabbage. The stomach pain was so severe that at times I had to be hospitalized.
In the autumn of 2006, one day after lunch, my son wanted me to take him to a neighbor’s house to play. However, the neighbor was just about to leave for Fa study. My son wanted to go along, so my neighbor let us go with her. At the Fa study group, most of the people were elderly and middle-aged. My neighbor recommended that I read an experience sharing paper to the group because I was the youngest and had better vocabulary than they did. Afterwards, the coordinator asked me if I would like to take the book Zhuan Falun home with me. I said “yes” without any hesitation! From then on, I started to practice Falun Dafa, and my health got better and better. Eventually all my illnesses went away.
My Life Was Saved by Master Li During a Car Accident
I went to the market quite often and clarified the truth to people who might have a predestined relationship with Dafa and helped them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). One day in the winter of 2010, after breakfast, I rode my bike to the market, encountering a woman on the way who was from a different town. We biked together. I started to chat with her and told her about the persecution of Falun Dafa, as well as the movement of quitting the CCP. I asked her if she would like to quit the CCP and her answer was “Yes.”
As we continued on our way to the market, a motorcycle suddenly came up behind me and hit my bike. The force of the collision pushed me about 10 meters away and I landed on the grass. The motorcycle driver fell flat on his back and was lying on the concrete. I got up and had a thought that I was a Dafa practitioner and I would be alright. Looking at the motorcycle driver, I realized that we were from the same village. His hands were badly hurt and bleeding. Some parts of his motorcycle were broken. When I helped him pick up his motorcycle, he started to blame me for the accident and said I rode
my bicycle over the line.
Soon a lot of people gathered. They criticized him, saying, “You shouldn’t hit someone even if they were riding in the middle of the road!" Another one said, "Sooner or later you will get in trouble again. You drive crazy, like a rocket in the sky." His clothes, shoes, and coat were torn. By contrast, I wasn't even hurt one bit. Just as described, bystanders even found it strange that I did not exploit him and ask him for money. I told them that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and that Master Li taught me to be a good person. Therefore, I wouldn't ask this man for money, because I didn't want to create hardship for him.
After arriving back home, my father wanted to find out who the perpetrator was. I said to him, “I am all right, I didn’t get hurt at all. Think about it. My shoes and clothes were torn so badly, but my skin didn’t even have a scratch and I am not in any pain at all. Don’t you think that Master Li protected me? Why try to find out who he is? Do you want to ask him for money? Master Li taught me that an accident is a tribulation." After I said that, my father never brought it up again.
Master Helped Me to Get Rid of Sleepiness
After the 2011 New Year , as I studied the Fa more, I realized that saving sentient beings was urgent. So whenever I had time, I went out to clarify the truth on my bike. Whenever I got the chance, I would talk to the people I met, like laborers, students, farmers, and so on. As I kept clarifying the truth, I became very good at it and loved to do it. On the other hand, I didn’t have time to do the five exercises on a regular basis. I had a hard time waking up to do them in the morning. In my mind, I knew that cultivation was a very serious thing. When I had this thought, I suddenly remembered what Master said: “Cultivation is the process that enables a human being to ascend to heaven and become a god, so how could it not be hard?” (“My Version of a 'Stick Wake-up'”) I was very unhappy with myself because I couldn’t get up and do the exercises. Maybe Master knew my feelings and tried to help me. One night I heard someone calling my name. At first I thought it was morning, but after I woke up, I realized it was still dark. I looked at my watch—it was 3:49 a.m. I knew right away it was help from Master, who didn’t want to leave me behind. He wanted me to participate with fellow practitioners in the global exercise time early in the morning.
An amazing thing happened. I could wake up at 3:50 a.m. every day after that! I knew that Master’s compassion helped me to get rid of sleepiness. I would like to write down what I have experienced and express my great gratitude to Master. As a practitioner, I want to be more diligent to show my appreciation for Master’s compassion.
Amazing Things Happened after Taking Good Care of a Young Practitioner
During the 2011 winter break, Grandma wanted my son to stay with her for awhile. Ten days later, one evening in a dream, I saw my son fall into a river and then disappear. I realized his cultivation state was not very good. He loved watching TV and he spent time surfing the Internet while staying with his grandma. Also, I felt that his relatives might influence him in the wrong way and his cultivation might be at risk. I realized that taking good care of a young practitioner is my responsibility. I immediately called and told my son that he had to come home. After he got home, we had a good conversation on the Fa. I told him that his current cultivation state was at risk and that Master didn’t want him to fall behind. I also told him I was his mother in this life and as I had the responsibility to take care of him, it was part of my cultivation as well. Also, as the Fa-rectification process nears the end, it is more and more important for practitioners to help Master rectify the Fa. He said he would study the Fa, cultivate himself well, and clarify the truth. Since then, we have studied the Fa on weekends, holidays, and in the evening. Sometimes, my son and I went out to put up posters and distribute truth clarification materials after dinner. We cooperated with each other very well. My son didn’t surf the web anymore and didn’t watch TV either. That was amazing!
My father works out of town. He spends little time studying the Fa although he carries Zhuan Falun with him all the time. He was back home in March and stayed with us for awhile. My son and I suggested that we study the Fa together. My father had a better understanding of the Fa after group study.
His copy of Zhuan Falun somehow didn’t have Master’s picture in it. He thought someone had taken it and showed it to me sadly. He stayed at my home for a month, and then it was time for him to return to work. He thought he needed to carry some truth clarification materials, CDs, and posters with him. When he again read Zhuan Falun, surprisingly, master’s picture somehow was back in the book! He was so excited! In less than a month, my father witnessed the miracles of Dafa on two occasions.
He said that he wanted to be a good practitioner and do the things he should do according to the Fa. I was so happy to see our family cultivate together. There are so many miracles that I have experienced and what I wrote above are just a few examples.
