(Minghui.org) I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner in my seventies and started cultivating in 1997. Falun Dafa is what I was searching for in my life. I deeply treasure the opportunity to cultivate.
I couldn’t read all the characters in the book Zhuan Falun at the beginning. However, under Master Li’s (Falun Dafa’s founder) compassionate care, I learned all the characters. Now I can read through the book as well as all of Master’s other teachings. I can also recite many poems from Hong Yin, and understand the experience sharing articles on the Minghui website.
I was walking down the street one day when I heard a voice saying loudly, “You should establish a truth clarification materials production site.” I looked around but didn’t see anyone talking to me. I immediately realized that it was Master’s instruction. I told Master in my mind, “Please rest assured, I will live up to my mission to make it happen!”
I started learning everything from scratch, including securing funding, purchasing equipment, and consumables, renting an apartment, finding technical support, etc. Despite all the difficulties and frustrations, I eventually accomplished everything needed under Master’s arrangements and guidance. I have produced a lot of truth-clarification brochures over the past few years.
Master has also guided me through every step of my cultivation. The only way to know the wonders behind them was to personally experience the process. The following are a few examples.
Filing a Criminal Complaint Against Jiang Zemin
When the strong tide of filing criminal complaints against former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Jiang Zemin reached our city in 2015, some fellow practitioners dared not to send their complaints. Some post offices refused to take them as well. Some practitioners managed to send out their complaints but didn’t receive any receipt. Some fellow practitioners asked me for help and I agreed to shoulder the responsibility of helping them to send out the complaints.
I sent out a few in a post office. The second time I went, the post office was closed, so I decided to go find another one. As I was walking down the street, a strong force turned my head to a direction where I saw the huge words “post office” before my eyes. I headed straight in that direction. After I got close to the building, I found that the words “post office” were actually very small. I realized that Master must have enlightened me to go there. Gratitude filled my heart. I sent out several complaints smoothly. The post office employee didn’t ask me anything. It wasn’t until after I used this post office three times that the employee told me that the police department wouldn’t allow it.
I was looking for a post office one day when a courier came up to me to talk. I asked her if her company accepted documents. She told me they did. I thanked Master in my mind. I was able to send out several complaints through her company. I eventually used three post offices and four courier companies.
The process of sending complaints was a process of eliminating fear and other attachments. It was also a process of disintegrating the evil and saving sentient beings under Master’s protection. It was a great opportunity Master gave me to improve myself.
Hiring an Attorney
Seven practitioners in our city were arrested in October 2016 and were put on trial. We hired an attorney to defend them. A practitioner and I went to pick up an attorney from the airport one afternoon. It was around 5 p.m. on a winter day. It suddenly turned dark and started snowing heavily. We had to drive slowly because we could only see ten meters ahead of us. The practitioner and I sent forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate the interference from the evil factors. We asked Master to strengthen our righteous thoughts. The attorney needed to attend the trial and stop the court from persecuting our practitioners.
The snow stopped after about ten minutes and it gradually got brighter and brighter. The bright sun eventually lit up the sky, radiating bright, rosy rays. It was amazingly bright and magnificent as if it was a heavenly world. We realized that Master had encouraged us with this marvelous scene.
The practitioner and I clarified the truth of Falun Dafa to the driver. The driver said that he was convinced of the power of Falun Dafa after seeing the change in ten minutes. We further told him the importance of quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He happily agreed to quit with his real name. We thanked Master for his painstaking arrangements to save the driver! As it says in the book,
“Buddha’s light shines everywhere, propriety and righteousness harmonize everything.” (The Third Talk, Zhuan Falun)
The attorney presented a strong defense during the trial. All judges, legal professionals, and policemen on site were able to hear the reasons why Falun Dafa was legal under the current laws. Master gave them a great opportunity to learn the truth of the persecution.
Saving People During the Pandemic
Cities and alleys became empty during the pandemic lockdown. We Falun Dafa practitioners knew that the pandemic was a warning for people and a grave test for Falun Dafa practitioners. I continued to clarify the truth without hesitation. I understood that the criteria for cultivators don’t change no matter how the external situation changes and that we still need to study the Fa well, send forth righteous thoughts, and clarify the truth every day. My fellow practitioners and I worked together to distribute truth-clarification materials and post notes on the streets.
When I went to visit a practitioner one day, a security guard asked me to show a permit to enter their residential compound. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind him. I told him with a smile, “I’m taking corn porridge to my brother while it’s hot. If you don’t mind delivering it to him, I can wait here.” The guard didn’t say anything and I walked right in.
During the months surrounding the dragon boat festival, some practitioners and I distributed gourds with truth-clarification messages written on them as well as many brochures. I told people to quit the CCP and repeat “Falun Dafa is great” to stay safe. Most people we talked to agreed to quit and thanked us.
Making Improvements Together
I live by myself, but practitioners usually come to my place to hold discussions. Over the past ten years, I have had practitioners suffering from the false appearance of sickness karma stay at my home. We studied the Fa, did the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts, and looked within together. I undertook the whole process of helping elderly practitioners purchase and repair music players. It made me anxious to see some practitioners failing to step out to clarify the truth. I reminded them about Master’s sacrifice and our long wait for this final moment in history. Sometimes, I went a long way to accompany practitioners when they clarified the truth.
I’m honored and proud to be chosen to be a Falun Dafa practitioner. Though I am far from the requirements of the Fa, I’m determined to correct myself according to the Fa and never let Master’s salvation and trust down.
