Master Gives Me Everything I Need When I Do Well

(Minghui.org) In recent years, we’ve heard the salaries of many Falun Dafa practitioners and even elderly practitioners’ pensions have been confiscated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Since last year, this persecution tactic has continued to occur, and it has turned into a major issue.

As Dafa practitioners, we should realize that everything of ours comes from Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, and is given by Master. If Master didn’t begin the Fa-rectification, the entire universe would have been destroyed a long time ago. Master’s Fa-rectification has given all beings a chance to survive.

Since our lives and everything are given to us by Master, why can the old forces use the CCP to deprive us of what belongs to us? Do we have strong attachments regarding wages? Is it because we are unclear about the Fa principles and let the old forces take advantage of that? If this is the case, do we have a loophole and give the old forces an opportunity to allow sentient beings to commit crimes?

In the course of my cultivation, many things that ordinary people thought were simply impossible to do, I did. I would like to share some of them

ID Card

At the beginning of 2001, I got divorced and went through the divorce procedure while I was in the detention center. I was later sentenced to forced labor, but the labor camp wouldn’t accept me. After returning home, I didn’t pick up my residential certificate because I was not aware that I had to have it on me. After the divorce, my ex-husband left my residential certificate with my company. I didn’t know that, either.

At that time, my first-generation identification (ID) card was still usable, so there was nothing that inconvenienced me. After 2007, the first-generation ID card was gradually phased out, and everyone had to have a second-generation ID card. In 2008, I went to the police station to apply for a new ID card. The registering officer told me that I would need a residential certificate and a real estate certificate. I went twice but could not get it done.

In the spring of 2009, I decided to go to the director of the police station and ask him to help me apply for my ID card. If he said that he would not do it because I practiced Falun Gong, I would clarify the truth to him. I took some informational materials and went to the police station. The director was not in his office on the second floor, but two men were cleaning in other rooms. The taller man asked me who I was looking for. I replied, “I’m looking for the director.”

The taller man went to the door of the director’s office and asked me why I was looking for the director. I told him that I needed help to apply for an ID card. He seemed a little surprised and said, “Apply for an ID? You can just go ahead.” I told him that I didn’t have a residential certificate or a real estate certificate. He asked why. I told him that I was divorced. So he said, “Give me your ex-husband’s number and I will get it on your behalf.” I told him, “I don’t need you to contact him.” He was a little angry and maybe thought I was being funny, but he asked, “Then what can I do to help?” I said calmly, “Would you please call your people?”

He thought about it, then dialed the phone. He told the person who answered, “There is a woman here who needs to apply for an ID card. I'll send her down and you can help her.” Then he told me to go downstairs and give it a try. I went to the first floor, where a female officer at the window asked if I was the woman that had been sent from upstairs. I told her I was.

She asked me my name and then looked up, asking, “Where do you live now?” I told her I’d gone back to my parents’ township. When she asked why I didn’t transfer my residential certificate, I told her because no one in the township asked for it. Then she told me to go to get my photo taken. Just like that, I got my ID card. And it wasn’t associated with any persecution information.

Retirement Pension

I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1999. Since the end of 2004, I have devoted myself to producing truth-clarification materials. I’ve been arrested and persecuted more than a dozen times. I was subjected to forced labor and heavy sentences. However, I was protected by Master, and all the attempts by the Party to make me give up my faith failed.

In 2012, I was arrested again and prompted to look inward. In addition to looking for my own human attachments, I was also wondering: “Different periods have different requirements for cultivators. Should I change my cultivation state? Should I return to ordinary society now to support myself and save people in my spare time?” Because everything Dafa practitioners do is reserved for the future, it is very important to follow the path of righteous cultivation. I decided to find a job.

After I started working again, I didn’t think about a retirement pension. I’d held jobs before 2001, then I was persecuted and laid off. I had contributed to my retirement pension only for 10 years and a few months. Then I didn’t have a job so I didn’t contribute to the pension plan.

A year later, in the summer of 2013, a lady came to the mall to buy clothes in the store where I worked. After she made a purchase, she stayed and talked to me for a bit. This lady happened to work in the Social Pension Service Department. She asked me how old I was and I told her I was 51. She said, “Then you should get your retirement pension.”

I said, “How can I? I didn’t contribute to the pension for many years.” She asked how many years I did contribute, and I told her a little over 10 years. “Then you should do make-up contributions and get 15 years pension,” she said. When I declined, she asked why. I replied, “I’d have to pay late fees, make up contributions, and bundle medical insurance. That’s a lot of money!” But she said, “Go do it now! Starting from this month, there is no need to pay late fees or bundle medical insurance.”

I asked her how much I’d have to pay, and she said about 20,000 yuan. I said that I didn’t have any money so I couldn’t do it. She was very concerned and accused me of going wrong. So I told her that I would consider it. After I went home, I told my older sister about it. She said, “If you need it, we can lend you money.” I set it aside for the moment.

In the early winter, it was time for me to retire. I thought about it and realized that it might be better to borrow the money to get the pension. About 10 days before my birthday, I paid the make-up contribution and successfully got my pension. Now I can concentrate on doing the three things again. People who know me thought that I couldn’t get a pension. They were surprised and happy for me.

Getting a Passport and Going Abroad

I was persecuted very badly, which is well-known in the local area. In 2017, I saw that many people were going abroad, so I decided to apply for a passport, too. When I reached a certain age, I planned to apply for a visa to go abroad.

I went to the passport office and got my passport without a problem. Because my address was not fixed, and I also didn’t want anyone to know where I lived, I left my sister’s phone number and address. After I got home, I told her that I had applied for a passport and was having it mailed to her address. My sister and brother-in-law laughed and said, “You? Get a passport?” I replied, “Why not?” They said, “You must be dreaming!” Over 10 days later, my sister called to say, “Your passport arrived!”

A year later, I’d reached the age that they said qualified for a 5-year visa, so I went to apply for it. It turned out that I didn’t meet a lot of conditions. The staff suggested, “Just give it a try. It’s only 1,200 yuan.” I agreed, “Let’s do it.”

That night I had a dream: I saw two rows of big old houses with a large avenue between them. I was walking down the avenue looking at the front yards. When I woke up, I knew that the country I was going to was the same as ours. It was just like going from one side of the avenue to the other.

In less than 10 days, I was notified to pick up my visa. I bought a plane ticket and took a trip aboard. Many fellow practitioners and ordinary people who know me thought that was incredible. Why am I always so lucky?

I know that all of this is given to me by Master. For example, when I applied for an ID card, I didn’t have any complicated thoughts. My mind was pure, so Master helped me. Also, I should realize when Master is giving me a hint. Someone came and told me to get the pension. It was Master who sent someone to help me and remind me.

If we don’t protect what Master has given us, we need to consider what our problem is. If we are deprived of our pension and our survival is at stake, isn’t that a big problem? At the same time, we should pay more attention to sending righteous thoughts and deny the persecution of Dafa practitioners by the old forces.

This is my understanding at my current level. If there is anything inappropriate or not in line with the Fa, please compassionately correct me.
