(Minghui.org) I am an old practitioner who began to practice Falun Dafa in 1997. I was once an ill and weak person, who cared about nothing but personal interests. Now, I am illness free and take no interest in fame and personal gain. My life became more substantial and my family is happy and peaceful.
After Jiang Zemin and his regime launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, the place where I worked had meetings every day to discuss how to persecute the employees who were practitioners. My supervisors warned me that I would be fired if I did not stop practicing Falun Gong. With Master's protection, I did not back off nor give up my belief. I have walked my path safely until this day.
When the persecution started, I felt terrible and decided, even if it cost me my life, I would go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and ask the authorities to give Master the justice he deserved. I left for Beijing on January 1, 2001. I learned at the train station that I had to show my ID if I wanted a ticket to Beijing. Yet, the Health Bureau had already confiscated my ID. However, the ticket officer did not ask me for an ID. I also passed many check points where the police checked for IDs. When I boarded the train, I knew Master had helped me all the way. Otherwise it would have been impossible for me to be on that train.
I got to Tiananmen Square on January 2. Every entrance to the Square was covered by police officers. I could not get inside the Square that morning and was very worried. When I was at the front gate, I saw five westerners. I followed them and got into the Square. It was around 4 p.m. and I yelled, “Falun Dafa is good! Return the reputation of the Master of Falun Dafa!” The police came from all directions and held me down. Some kicked me and some tried to choke me. They handcuffed me and put me in a police car. I was excited because I knew that I had validated the Fa but I was unlawfully detained in a detention center. Because of what I did that day, I was fired from my job. My daughter got into trouble because of my appealing in Beijing, and officials at the hospital fired her as well.
I was incarcerated in the detention center for 76 days. My wife, not a practitioner, spent 20,000 yuan to bribe the staff at the center and had me released.
I tried to clarify the facts about the persecution to people at the hospital and the Bureau of Public Health. I wanted to have my position back. With Master's help, the Bureau agreed to issue me a license so I could open up my own clinic.
I had a lot of patients and I told most of them the truth about Falun Dafa. I made a lot of money and was able to have a convenient occasion to clarify the facts to a lot of people. Master had arranged all of this for me and took care of me. I have no words to express my gratitude to Master. Now, when I look back, I can understand the miracle and magnificence of what Master has said,
“Everything has been prepared, and all that’s missing is for you to carry it out.” (“Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa - Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 Washington DC Metro Area Fa Conference”)
“The old forces have done some things, but amidst their interference Master has been turning the tables on them.” (“20th Anniversary Fa Teaching”)
I truly experienced the immense Buddha grace. When the evil beings had me fired, Master used this opportunity to create a better environment for me in which I could validate the Fa, save people, and do the three things.
I talked to my patients from the angle of illness karma. I then told them what Falun Dafa is and why so many people practice it. I explained the Tiananmen self-immolation hoax to them in order to expose the ultimate evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many have been shocked by the persecution and understood the truth. They changed their attitude from being against Falun Gong to admiring practitioners. I also know that Master allowed me to improve in my professional knowledge and skills so that my reputation can bring me more sentient beings from more places.
The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published in 2004 and brought the Fa rectification progress one step forward. In addition to clarifying the truth about the suppression, I told my patients what the CCP really is, about the disasters the CCP has brought upon the Chinese people in the past 60 years, and the enormous number of people the CCP has killed. I helped many quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
When I return money to my patients, I use bills on which I have the truth printed. Last year, I was running out of ink when I was printing these bills and I thought, “Ink, you can not run out. Printing the truth on these bills can save sentient beings!” From then on, I always had ink and I still have it today. It seems that the ink is endless. What a miracle! Early this year, I had planned to print a lot of bills one day. I thought about greasing the machine but then I decided not to and gave it a try. As of today, I have not greased the machine and it has not stopped printing the truth on these bills. Master is encouraging me to continue on the path of saving people!
Of course, I came across interference when helping people quit the CCP and its affiliates. When I did not study the Fa well nor cultivate well, I had problems helping people quit. When I did not want to clarify the facts and help people quit, my thoughts were interfered with by various attachments. The old forces then exploited my gaps and persecuted me. When I helped people quit, I did so with compassion. When people refused to quit, I cried because I knew how miserable they were. I did not complain and instead looked within to see why I had not been able to help them.
I talked to a chief of the Bureau of Health about quitting the CCP and its affiliates. I gave him the Nine Commentaries and a lot of informational materials. He said nothing at that moment and put the materials in his drawer. Later, I went back to his office again. Before I said anything, he opened the drawer and returned the materials to me and told me he would not quit. I went home and looked within. I had always thought that he would read the materials because he took them. I was on good terms with him and I thought he would definitely quit. My human notions had prevented me from clarifying the facts and eliminating the evil beings behind him with righteous thoughts. I wanted to use my friendship with ordinary people to pressure him to quit.
I saw the chief again later and I immediately eliminated all evil factors which are manipulating him and interfering with me. I asked Master to help me and said to him, “Chief, everything I said about quitting the CCP and its affiliates is true. I want nothing from you but to save your life. A man needs a future and you should choose to believe it. Please nod your head if you want to quit sincerely.” He nodded his head and said, “Yes, I will do as you say.”
I know that I still have a lot to improve on. With Master's help and care, with the guidance and teachings of Falun Dafa, and with the help of fellow practitioners, I have been able to continue practicing until this day. I thank compassionate Master! I thank fellow practitioners!
