Helping Fellow Practitioners Log onto Minghui.org

(Minghui.org) I am a female Dafa practitioner who works on a farm, and I am 61 years old this year. I started cultivating in Falun Dafa to get rid of my illnesses. After a few years of body cleansing and going through a few rounds of life and death tests, I became illness-free. Time and again, benevolent Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) has saved me from the brink of death.

Learning to Produce Truth-Clarification Materials

In 2015, with the wisdom gained from following Master’s teachings, I started learning skills with the help of my children and encouragement from fellow practitioners. Although initially I didn’t even know how to hold a mouse, I learned how to use a computer, go online and print truth-clarification materials. After grasping these skills, I started making all sorts of truth-clarification materials and went out with fellow practitioners to help people understand Falun Dafa and the persecution. We did such things as distributing materials face-to-face, talking to people, pasting stickers and hanging banners with information about Dafa.

During those few years, people who lived very far from us could also see truth-clarification materials, stickers and banners. Later on, I became very busy making truth-clarifying materials, so I seldom went out. The other practitioners continued to help save people. Even when the pandemic became quite serious during the past two years, such that our village and roads were sealed off, not only were these practitioners not discouraged, they felt all the more the preciousness of the remaining time and how urgent it was to offer salvation to people.

Printers Broke Down Frequently As Demands for Materials Increased 

In 2019, as there was a limited amount of materials that I could produce with my two printers, a practitioner in the city helped me buy another printer. Practitioners kept distributing the materials and more people came to understand the truth, and the demand for truth-clarification materials kept increasing, especially for the calendars with information about Dafa. In order to not delay saving people, I bought the same printer in 2020. I thought I would use one printer to print materials, while the other could be used to print calendars. Then I could have more time to study the Fa. However, things did not go as planned. 

The new printer’s print head was ruined just nine days after I bought it. The technician practitioner came and took away the new printer, giving me an old one instead. I did not think about it too much, as I felt that whichever printer comes to my house was here to assist Master in saving people with me. This was its affinity so I cherished it.

However, before long, both printers took turns having problems and the technician practitioner kept having to help me repair them until spring this year. Although quite a lot of money had been spent repairing the two printers, both of them still stopped functioning. I let go of my attachment to doing things and started to study the Fa in a down-to-earth manner. Despite this, the problems persisted. Practitioners were rushing to save people. While they were doing such an urgent and sacred task, I had stopped producing materials. I felt very lost.

During this period of time, a veteran practitioner who used to coordinate this project passed away due to illness. That day, I went to the city and exchanged cultivation understandings with a few practitioners. One practitioner mentioned many shortcomings of the coordinator who had passed away, criticizing and complaining about the person at the same time. Although I stopped that practitioner’s negative talk, this incident disturbed me a lot. After returning home, I started to change my notions and reflect on the cultivation path that I had taken over the past few years while participating in this Dafa project.

Attachment to Doing Things and Having Practitioners Relying on Me

I remember that when I first joined the project, I did things out of gratitude and my desire to repay Master for saving my life and also with a pure attitude, to assist Master in saving people. As time passed and the demand for truth-clarification materials kept increasing, my attachment to doing things formed. This was especially true for the recent few years, when the practitioner who was in-charge of buying raw materials went to live in her son’s home far away and handed over her tasks to me.

I discovered that other practitioners had gradually developed an attachment to relying on me. They would use the issues of safety and not knowing how to do something as an excuse to not settle these issues themselves, and then openly and uprightly say that I am a latecomer who outdid them and that this was my mission. This troubled me a great deal and I did not know how to resolve these problems. I thought to myself that they are all Dafa practitioners who obtained the Fa more than ten years before me. How could they be in such cultivation states? Although I have a lot of things to do, I have my own standards. No matter how busy I am, if there are no special situations, I will persist in memorizing the Fa every morning and study the Fa and practice all five sets of exercises with fellow practitioners every night. Through studying the Fa, I learned that it was time for me to improve my xinxing.

Encouraging Practitioners to Produce Materials on Their Own

After I stopped producing materials, I let the practitioners go and look for their own truth-clarification material sources. Some practitioners gossiped, while others were not happy about it. I felt it was unfair that I had gone to buy the raw materials all by myself all this time, and now that I had stopped producing the materials, they all were in this state.

However, the veteran practitioner’s death really woke me up. I calmed down to study the Fa, memorize the Fa and send forth righteous thoughts to clear my own field and my negative thoughts that were not in accordance with Dafa’s standards. I corrected myself based on the Fa and understood that I should let go. I should not stop every practitioner on their cultivation path.

This has been especially true since the start of the pandemic. I really felt the helpless and anxious feelings of the practitioners who cannot go online or get truth-clarification materials in that sealed up environment. I gave the phone number and address of the place where I buy my raw materials to the coordinators of every village and encouraged them to go and get the materials themselves. Although some practitioners were really unhappy about it, I did not waver, because every practitioner is being watched over by Master, so every one of us can do well.

After letting go of this, my body changed quickly. For so many years, I could not spread my right hand, despite using all my strength to do so, when I did the lotus flower hand position while sending forth righteous thoughts. Now, my fingers were all able to open at once and the back of my hand, which used to be very painful due to my forceful stretching, no longer hurt. For a very long period of time, I could not see the characters clearly with my left eye while studying the Fa. I can now see the characters much more clearly with that eye. I know that this was because I had corrected myself based on the Fa and thus Master helped me get rid of the negative matter. With that, I continued to let go.

Helping Practitioners Browse the Minghui Website

Two years ago, I found it unbelievable when I read a cultivation sharing article online about how everyone should log onto Minghui.org, and how practitioners who are making materials should not rely on technician practitioners. This was especially true for our village, as some practitioners have a very low level of education, such that they only managed to finish reading the whole of Zhuan Falun during the recent few years. It was thus impossible to achieve the cultivation state whereby everyone could log onto Minghui.org.

However, my experiences made me start to change my notions. I wanted to try to do this project. With this thought, Master gave me hints in a dream. However, given the village’s financial state, I worried that practitioners wouldn’t dare spend money on buying a computer. But I also realized that now that Master had enlightened me, Master would definitely help us. One day I asked practitioners if they had old computers at home that their children were no longer using. I said that if so, we could make use of them.

After hearing that, practitioners who had one or two computers at home all brought their computers to me. Coincidentally, my son, who studies computer software and programming, was also at home. He helped repair those computers and install operating systems in them for the practitioners to use. This was still not enough, so my son repaired an old computer that we had at home and we gave it to a practitioner. I also sold a new computer at one-third of its price to an elderly practitioner couple. After all this, we still needed one more computer. I went to the city to ask a practitioner to help me buy one more.

After going to the city a few times, I still had not managed to buy a new computer for many reasons. Another practitioner in the city, who was involved in another Dafa project, learned about our situation and felt that he should do his best to promote every practitioner being able to log onto Minghui.org, so he was very supportive. Seeing that I was going through so much trouble about this matter, he decided to donate two computers to us. I know that this was Master helping me, and no words can describe my gratitude. I thanked that practitioner for his selfless help.

After a few months of hard work, letting go of human notions, getting rid of the attachment to laziness and being afraid of troubles, and getting rid of the disturbance of the pandemic, under benevolent Master’s watch and protection, two practitioners stepped forward who were willing to keep teaching the other practitioners how to log onto Minghui.org.

Now, apart from the elderly practitioner who has no broadband at home, the nine remaining practitioners in our village are all able to log on to Minghui.org. The old computers from two practitioners in a neighboring village have also been put to use. During the spring, when the pandemic was quite serious, although the village and roads were blocked off, practitioners have Master watching over them and Minghui.org to guide us to keep up with the Fa-rectification progress. 

I also no longer need to print Minghui Weekly. This has saved not only Dafa resources but also time. Whenever Minghui.org has any notifications, practitioners will remind each other and try to do well. Not only have I corrected myself, the xinxing of other practitioners has also improved. Originally, I did not want to spend more money on buying equipment, but the new equipment that I had just bought for another practitioner was not needed by him anymore, so I just followed suit and bought it back from him and now use it to print truth-clarification materials for practitioners every day. 

Another practitioner used to produce truth-clarification materials in the past, but had not been doing it in recent years for many reasons. Now, after understanding the Fa principles, he bought equipment and continued on the cultivation path that Master has arranged for him. Another practitioner also started producing truth-clarification materials. Practitioners are all correcting themselves based on the Fa and continuing on their cultivation paths arranged by Master, trying their best to do the three things well to repay their gratitude to Master.

Now, the practitioners in the surrounding villages are full of admiration when they see that even the nearly-80-year-old veteran practitioner in our village can log onto Minghui.org. Many practitioners are changing their notions and are asking their local coordinators to help them buy a computer so they too can log onto Minghui.org and walk the cultivation paths that Master has arranged for them.
