(Minghui.org) I grew up in a rural area and have one son and two daughters. I retired after operating a restaurant for over thirty years. In November 2011, my wife and I began practicing Falun Dafa. I would like to share some of my experiences when attending the 2012 Taibei Experience Sharing Conference in Taipei.
As part of the conference activities, we planned to sit together in carefully arranged formations to create written characters and images. In the early morning of November 11, we prepared for the character and image formation despite heavy rain. On finding my spot by following a practitioner, I noticed that her pants were soaked by the rain. I thought, “Why do we go ahead and continue with our activities despite this heavy rain?” Then I thought that this rain may be for testing our xinxing.
When we did the exercises as a group, it was pouring harder. Especially when doing the standing exercises, my entire body was soaked. All practitioners continued doing the exercises while the exercise music was mixed with the sound of rain.
On returning home, I decided to take a bath, when I suddenly felt a chill. I wondered, “What is all this about?” But I knew in my heart that Master was telling me not to worry. I did the first exercise without the music. Oddly enough, I felt a warm current moving throughout my body and then I felt better.
Master said, “Cultivation is up to you, gong is up to the master.” (Zhuan Falun, 2003 Edition) This was my first experience of the miraculous power of Falun Dafa since I started practicing Dafa one year ago. I shared this experience with fellow practitioners, because I had gained a deeper understanding of believing in Master and the Fa.
The next day I attended the 2012 Taiwan Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference. It was the first time I had attended such a sacred grand meeting and I was very excited and very honored.
I was moved to tears listening to the practitioners sharing their cultivation experiences. A woman practitioner who lived a hard life persisted in practicing Dafa and participated in a lot of Falun Dafa activities. Another practitioner said that a true practitioner would not seek an easy life. I admired very much a young girl in her twenties, who has been practicing Falun Dafa for over ten years. It is such a pity that I attained the Fa so late. But I'm determined to strive forward in order to keep pace with the Fa-rectification.
That night, I dreamed about a lot of Buddhas, Taos, and Gods sitting on yellow, red and purple lotus flowers. At about 2:00 a.m., I realized that this was not my imagination working overtime, because my consciousness was very clear at that time.
Please kindly point out anything that is not on the Fa.
