(Minghui.org) I had the great good fortune to have become a Falun Dafa practitioner at the end of 1997. One month into the practice, my plethora of physical ailments disappeared without a trace. I could not have been happier!
The first time I broke through my human attachments and went out to make calls to clarify the truth, I persuaded two people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. I knew that Master Li, Falun Dafa’s founder, was encouraging me.
From that day on, I have gone out every day regardless of the weather—in storms or the freezing cold—to clarify the truth. The more calls I made, the more attachments I seemed to shed and the more people I could save. At first, the responses I got were more negative than positive, but that changed over time, too. Many people were grateful that I called them. I’d like to talk about a few touching experiences of mine, all thanks to Master.
I had a most moving experience during one of my calls; it was with a gentleman in his 40s. He did not say anything at first but as he listened and took in what I had to say, he became excited, “Auntie, you know what? I am in the stock trading business. Because I found out I have a serious illness, I put all my money on this one trade thinking I could make a decent profit to fund my medical expenses. Alas, I found out today that I lost all my money; my life was not worth living anymore. I was going to kill myself this afternoon but after listening to you telling me the facts about Falun Dafa, something clicked and I changed my mind. You have saved my life, Auntie! Please don’t hang up! I am bowing to you right here. Thank you.”
He was crying as he spoke and I could hear his head hitting the floor as he kowtowed again and again. I was so grateful to Master that I could not stop crying myself. I told him to not thank me but to thank Master because it is Master who gave me the opportunity to save people. He kept kowtowing as he said, “Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!”
“Auntie, I must meet you because I want to practice Dafa, too.” I told him, “Where you live is quite far from me. I am sure there are Dafa practitioners where you are and you will have an opportunity to encounter them. Please frequently recite, ‘Falun Dafa is great, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great,’ and you will get well; then you can make money again. It wasn’t entirely a bad thing that you lost all your money. Because of that, you got to hear the facts of Falun Dafa. By believing in Dafa, you saved your own life and that’s got to be more important than money. Even if you have a lot of money but you get a serious illness, not even hospitals can help you. You would not gain anything without losing something!” He withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations with a pseudonym that I gave him.
I clarified the facts to an elderly man at a bus stop. He told me he has three sons and one daughter but only his daughter looks after him. I said it’s a real blessing to be able to hear about Falun Dafa. He sobbed as he listened. “Oh dear, do you not have any money?” I asked. I took out ten yuan and gave it to him, “You can get yourself something nice to eat with this.” Sobbing even harder, he grabbed hold of both of my hands.
I also had tears in my eyes. Choked with emotion, he said, “I can’t take your money. What you have told me is the most precious thing. It’s better than any amount of money. Thank you.” I told him he should thank Master instead of me because it’s Master who has made it possible for me to meet him and save him. He said, “Thank you, Master.” He told me he was a member of all three CCP organizations and that he wanted to quit them all.
One autumn afternoon, I was clarifying the facts to a middle-aged woman. As she was listening, she suddenly took off an amulet hanging from her neck. “Do you have any of these? Please give me another one. I’ve had this one for more than a year and its color has faded.” I told her I did not have one on me but I might be able to get her one later. She said her amulet has mysterious powers and proceeded to tell me about the story of her amulet.
“When my husband was dying of lung cancer, he wanted me to die with him. I refused because I was not sick. As he got sicker, he got more insistent, which really scared me. He passed away not long after. One day not too long after he passed away, while I was half asleep I heard my late husband knocking at my door asking to be let in. I was petrified and the knocking sound still rang in my ears as I woke up.”
She continued, “After that he kept knocking at my door a few more times. He came knocking one day as I was about to fall asleep. He told me to take off that thing I wore on my neck. He said it was blindingly bright and he dared not get close to it, but he could come in if I took it off. I touched my neck and felt the Dafa amulet that a Falun Dafa practitioner had given to me. I held it tight, “You are already dead. Don’t come to scare me again.” He never came again. I realized the protective power of the amulet and I have had it on me ever since.”
