(Minghui.org) I am from the countryside. My health was very poor even when I was young. I suffered from rheumatic heart disease, gastroptosis, gastroenteritis, sciatica and headaches. I was sick every day. Even my husband thought I was too much trouble and lived somewhere else with another woman. He even brought her home. I had nowhere to go and wanted to commit suicide. This was in 2004.
One day my auntie called and asked me to visit her. I told her my stories and my suffering. She was sympathetic and asked me to stay at her place. She was very compassionate and looked after me like she was my own mother. She told me that Falun Gong is a great practice and has amazing healing effects, and that if I lived my life according to the principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, I could become healthy and uplifted.
The next day she taught me the exercises and we studied the Fa together. I only had one and a half years of formal education and didn't know a lot of characters. But with her help, I managed to read Zhuan Falun within a short period of time. All my diseases disappeared within a month. She told me that Master saved my life, purified my body and soul. I no longer had the thought of committing suicide.
Now I can do all the housework at home, and my husband has become better as well. Our whole family quit the CCP and lives a harmonious life. Master saved our broken family. I decided to cultivate diligently and help Master to save more sentient beings. I worked as a nurse and most of the time I looked after elderly people. The first job I had after finding Dafa was to look after a retired officer from the district political and legal department. He was in his seventies. One morning he was hospitalized for an emergency. His family needed a nurse for him, so I went.
I looked after him well. I told him the facts about Falun Gong and how wonderful it is for healing illnesses and keeping fit. I told him my personal stories of cultivation and how I benefited from Falun Gong. I told him why the CCP persecutes Falun Gong and about the staged Tiananmen Self Immolation Incident and the peaceful appeal on April 25, 1999. He said to me: “Thank you for your clarification. So it is wrong that Jiang Zemin ordered the persecution of Falun Gong.” I gave him the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party book and some other materials. He agreed strongly after reading them. I said to him: “For your health, shall I clean out all your old books?” He nodded and agreed. So I cleared out all his books – some I burned and some I sold. I invited my auntie to come to his house to send forth righteous thoughts to clear the field and clarify the truth to him. I cooperated with my auntie. She clarified the truth to him while I sent forth righteous thoughts to clear away the dark minions and rotten demons. Within two hours he agreed to withdraw from the CCP. He wanted to practice the exercises with us.
My auntie brought a copy of Zhuan Falun for him and taught him the exercise movements. Soon he recovered. He was very thankful to Master and Dafa who gave him a second life. I worked there for three months and then left.
After that I had a chance to look after an elderly couple who were in their eighties. They had chronic diseases. The husband lost consciousness when the disease kicked in while the wife poured her urine over her head when she had a heart attack. She started to swear at people when she regained consciousness.
I was not patient and was not able to keep my xinxing at the start. Looking back, I am so ashamed of myself because I missed chances again and again that Master had arranged for me to improve myself.
They had Chairman Mao's poems, badges and CCP books. The wife held onto them tightly and wouldn't throw them away. She said that they were a “revolutionary family” and party members. I asked my auntie to come and clarify the truth and send forth righteous thoughts. My auntie clarified the truth very well. Finally the couple agreed to quit the Party.
I worked there for four years. I clarified the truth to her children and other relatives. They all withdrew from the CCP. One day the wife told me that her daughter-in-law practiced Falun Gong before July 20, 1999 but gave up due to fear after the persecution started. So I grasped every opportunity to approach her. I said to her: “This is a good practice that you are not able to get in a thousand years or a tens of thousand years. Do not miss the chance. Master is looking forward to your return. Do you understand?” She smiled. I told her of how the Fa rectification has progressed and gave her Master's new articles and some other materials. She was very touched and said: 'Thank you very much!” I said to her that she should thank Master instead. Now she is reading Dafa books.
To thank Master for his saving grace and to complete my historic mission, I took the opportunity as a nanny to clarify the truth to every household I worked with and to help them withdraw from the CCP. I made a pledge that I would save at least one person each day from the day that I obtained the Fa.
I tried to reduce my sleeping hours so that I could have more time to do the three things. I didn't have much spare time working as a nanny because I had to follow the host's arrangements and do the work well. So I clarified the truth while shopping or even when I took out the rubbish bin. Whenever I met a person, I clarified the truth to him/her. Sometimes I was not able to go out during the day. I still was very concerned with saving people.
One day I went out to do some business. A couple was in front of me. I started to send forth righteous thoughts to clear away the evil beings and factors that might prevent them from being saved. Then I walked to them and greeted them: “Hello uncle and auntie.” The wife asked: “You are...” I said to them: “You look very much like my uncle and auntie.” “Really?” I chatted with them for a little while and then started to clarify the truth to them. I asked them: “Have you heard of “three withdrawals”? They said no.
“You know so many calamities and man-made disasters happen. Government official are very corrupt. The CCP has caused 80 million unnatural deaths since it came to power. Disasters are everywhere on this earth. But Buddha is compassionate and has come down to the earth to spread the universal Dafa. Dafa requires practitioners to be good people according to the principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. This is a wonderful practice. But out of jealousy, Jiang Zemin has mobilised all the legal departments, government departments of all levels, NGOs, universities and schools, community centers, businesses and factories etc. to madly persecute Falun Gong. What a society! This, however, is not allowed by heaven and earth. Heaven is going to eliminate the CCP.”
Then I asked them if they had joined the Party, Youth League or Young Pioneers. The wife said she had joined the Youth League and Young Pioneers and the husband said he had joined the Party. I said, “It is best if you make the three withdrawals to keep yourself safe.” The wife readily agreed, and they withdrew from the CCP using an alias.
The wife took an amulet and thanked me. I said to her: “It is our Master that you should thank.”
I treat sentient beings as my relatives so they can be saved.
It is very crucial that I study the Fa a lot and have ample righteous thoughts so as to save more people. Sometimes I was slack in studying the Fa and my righteous thoughts were not as strong, People then would not listen to me, even though I talked to them for a long time. Instead, they spoke in favor of the CCP and made me speechless. Sometimes I was not able to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP. I felt sad then. Master has suffered a lot in order to save us. Am I helping Master to rectify the Fa? I have been practicing Dafa for eight years but sometimes I don't behave like a practitioner. I caused trouble for another practitioner because I didn't cultivate my speech. Master gave me hints in a dream, and I felt very sad after I woke up. I was so sorry to Master and to the practitioner.
I looked within and found many attachments, such as the show off mentality, complacency, competitiveness, jealousy and resentment. I'd like to expose all those human emotions and cultivate them away, and only let the heart of compassion stay with me. I would like to be a true Dafa disciple who helps Master rectify the Fa.
