(Minghui.org) I’m 70 years old and I’ve practiced Falun Dafa for 20 years. Under Master’s compassionate protection I persevered in cultivation and witnessed the extraordinary power of Dafa. I’d like to share some of my experiences in clarifying the truth about the persecution and helping people withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
A friend saw my positive changes after I began practicing, and in 2004, decided to practice. She later advised her husband to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He said the CCP paid him well and he refused to quit. Many Chinese people share this notion—that their salaries come from the CCP.
The husband is an intellectual and the director of the information department of his work unit, and he writes fluently. Many newspapers and magazines ask him to submit articles, but he only writes about what interests him. Because he is highly educated he looks down on others and it’s hard to convince him of anything.
I suggested he read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and talked with him about the changes in body and mind I experienced after I began practicing. I said, “I never met Master, but he resolved our illnesses and did not ask for a penny. The world is deteriorating, morals are declining, and corruption is common. Can such a society last long? It can’t. Besides, no government lasts forever. When one dynasty ends, the next one comes. No one can stop the change.” He agreed.
I continued, “I don’t agree that the CCP gives us our salaries. There are twelve people in my work unit’s political department. We all say they are redundant. They sit in their offices and do not produce anything, yet they are paid and even receive bonuses. The work would be done even if they were not there.” He said it was true.
I added, “If the political heads didn’t collect a salary the workers would get more bonuses. Where does the money come from, the Communist Party?”
I explained that the CCP uses its power to control various departments of the national government to serve it. “Our salary is the result of our hard work,” I said. “You are more capable than a CCP official, so why doesn’t the Communist Party give you a larger salary and bonus?”
I told him that millions of Chinese withdrew from the CCP and that many natural disasters were actually man-made. He agreed. I said, “Withdrawing from the CCP guarantees peace. It is a change in the celestial phenomena. We follow the changes of the celestial phenomena and follow the will of divine. If we quit, we will be protected. It is better than buying insurance and it does not cost anything.”
I also told him that during the recent earthquakes people who quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations survived. “There are many such examples. Don’t people just want to be safe? So why not quit? Over 100 million have withdrawn from the CCP (the number of people who had withdrawn from the CCP at that time). They are no longer afraid of disasters.”
He agreed and happily said, “Okay, I will quit the CCP with the pseudonym I use to write articles.”
My Friend Recovers from a Strange Illness
A friend in my work unit contracted a strange disease. She was examined at the city hospital and the provincial capital hospital. Well-known hospitals and medical experts said she was not sick. She told me she was so uncomfortable that she wanted to die. She felt helpless and sad.
I saw how pitiful she was, and I told her that Master doesn’t cure diseases, but if she sincerely wished to practice Dafa, Master would purify her body.
She cried and said firmly, “I want to practice.” With this determined thought, Master quickly purified her body. She began practicing in early July 2005 and she is still as determined as ever.
After her health improved, her family members asked about the April 25 appeal and the CCP-staged Tiananmen self-immolation incident. I explained and advised them to withdraw from the CCP. When her son also came home during Chinese New Year he saw her positive changes. He sincerely believed that Dafa was good. I also clarified the truth to him and persuaded him to quit. He received blessings, and started his own company which produces a high-end technology product.
No Injury After Falling from a Horse
After a factory-level leader of my unit retired, he often chatted with us. He abhorred the social chaos in China and the CCP’s corruption. He also said that the persecution of Falun Gong was wrong. How can a government be afraid of people? He went abroad every year and saw Falun Dafa display boards at tourist attraction sites. He said that it was different from the CCP’s propaganda in China. He also accepted a pamphlet about Falun Dafa, and read it. He was afraid of being videotaped and persecuted, so he did not bring the pamphlet home.
He was sincere when he talked about the divine. He said his mother practiced Buddhism and was kind. She often told him the principle of good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds are punished. I reminded him about ancient teachings, and celestial phenomena. I talked about the current trend of withdrawing from the CCP. He agreed and renounced the CCP.
When I returned to my hometown in 2019, I saw him in high spirits and he looked happy. He told me about his amazing experience. He never had illness before. On his 75th birthday last year, he went riding and fell off his horse. He said he was not hurt, just a little scratch. His children were worried and insisted on getting him checked in a hospital. They were shocked to know that his systolic blood pressure was 220 and his diastolic pressure was 120. He didn’t feel any discomfort. He fell off the horse and nothing happened. He was puzzled. I smiled and said it was because he quit the CCP and believed in divine. He looked thoughtful and nodded silently. With the protection of divine, he was safe from the dangerous fall.
Concluding Remarks
I tell people about Falun Dafa and the persecution with my heart. Whenever I meet people I maintain righteous thoughts to eliminate the communist specter behind them and the Party culture in their minds. I hope that they will hear the truth and be saved. I send righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings and factors in other dimensions that hinder the salvation of sentient beings. This is to pave the way for the salvation of all sentient beings and give every person an opportunity to be saved.
I also noticed many of my inner thoughts: fear of hardship, desire for reputation, anxiety, competitive mentality, fear, joy, and complacency. When these thoughts show up, I first study the Fa and look inward. After getting rid of these thoughts, I feel that my mind is broader and more tolerant.
I still have a lot of attachments. I will study the Fa, cultivate myself, eliminate my last attachments, and do the three things required by Master. I will not be obsessed with time. I won’t be attached to anything. Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation.
