(Minghui.org) I heard about Falun Dafa in 1996 and even bought some Dafa books. However, due to strong thought karma and interference from other dimensions, I wasn’t able to read them. As soon as I picked up the book, various bad thoughts came to my mind.
I suffered from long-term insomnia and had a hard time falling asleep. The longest time without being able to sleep was 18 days. I was very weak and couldn’t tolerate any sound, even that of my child cracking melon seeds in the next room. I became irritable, and no one dared to provoke me. When my children came home from school, they would be very careful not to make any noise. Living with me was tough for my husband and kids.
I knew that Dafa was good and I really wanted to cultivate. However, as soon as I tried to study the Fa, bad thoughts kept popping into my mind. I was afraid that if I couldn’t handle myself well, I would tarnish Dafa’s image. So I had to give up on the idea of cultivation. During those ten years, I couldn’t study the Fa, and felt like my life was worse than death.
For those ten years, I often recited in my heart, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good”. In January of 2006, I finally started practicing Falun Dafa with the help of practitioners. After practicing for just two months, I could fall asleep at night, and my cholecystitis and other ailments all disappeared. I felt great! Dafa saved me and my entire family.
When the practitioner who managed the materials production site moved to another city, she wanted me to take over. I had only been cultivating for a month and had never used a computer before.
She showed me how to use the mouse, and I accidentally clicked on an article. It was about a practitioner transferring a materials site to another practitioner. The practitioner who was teaching me told me that Master was showing me how to print truth-clarification materials. I told my husband that the practitioner asked me to take over the materials site after she left, and he didn’t object. I knew that this was a very sacred thing and I must do it.
With Master’s help, I quickly learned how to copy and paste, and print a Dafa book, etc. The practitioner took me to buy materials only once, and after that I bought all materials by myself. I have been supplying truth-clarification materials to our local practitioners for over five years. It has run very smoothly.
I met a male former classmate during a school reunion. We hadn’t seen each other for over forty years, and I couldn’t even recognize him. He said he liked me since high school. He even asked me if my husband was handsome and if he treated me well. He took a picture of us and hugged me. Later, he kept sending me pictures and messaging me. I have always thought that I had no feelings of lust. I am a decent person, and have never thought about such things at such an old age.
However, whenever I thought about this person, I had feelings toward him. Sometimes, I looked forward to his messages. I knew that this was lust, and was determined to let it go. I asked Master for help, and exposed this attachment to other practitioners.
A fellow practitioner came to my home. She was overcoming a sickness tribulation at the time. She told me that she just wanted to come and talk to me. After she left, I thought that her words hinted at my attachment to lust. I started to pay attention to it and sent righteous thoughts to get rid of it. When the lust was reflected in my dream, I immediately realized that it was not me and I eliminated it.
Since then, I don’t have any feelings for that classmate.
I was doing the exercises at my daughter’s home, when suddenly, my heart started beating faster, blood rushed to the top of my head, and it felt like I was going to die. I shouted out, “Master please help me!” I sent strong righteous thoughts: “My Master has the final say about my cultivation and I don’t acknowledge any other arrangement.”
After a while, I felt relieved. But this situation occurred a few times. Every time I asked Master to protect me and sent righteous thoughts to disintegrate the persecution. After that, it never happened again.
My daughter suffered from depression and was always sarcastically demeaning her husband. Their relationship was getting worse, almost to the point of getting a divorce. I went to their home, and often comforted my daughter and talked to her about Dafa’s principles. I told her that she was accruing karma by being so harsh to her husband. Since then, she changed. Their relationship has improved and they now get along very well.
My grandson suffered from neurological disease. Acupuncture, massage, and other traditional Chinese medical treatments have not been effective for the last 2-3 years. I asked him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He understood and quit the Young Pioneers, one of the youth organizations of the Chinese Communist Party. His symptoms soon disappeared and he doesn’t need any medical treatment.
Recalling my cultivation path, each step is inseparable from Master’s compassionate enlightenment and protection. Thank you, Master! I will be more diligent in cultivation, look inward, and help to save more people.
