With the Fa in One’s Heart, One Can Cultivate Well

(Minghui.org) After Master Li published “How Humankind Came To Be,” “Why Save Sentient Beings,” “Stay Far Away From Peril,” “Cultivation in Dafa Is Serious,” “Treat Master’s Family Members Properly,” “The Ordeals Our Spiritual Disciplines Faces,” and “A Wake-up Call,” I read them all and burst into tears.

I started practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) in 1994. I was fortunate to see a picture of Master in the home of a Dafa practitioner. It felt as though I was seeing the dawn of hope, and I burst into tears. I said to the practitioner, “The Buddha portraits in my home are just pictures of a Buddha. The Buddha portrait in your home is a living Buddha.” Seeing that I had a predestined relationship with Master, she lent me a copy of the introductory Falun Gong book. I took it home and read it in one sitting. I decided that this was what I had been looking for for as long as I could remember.

I fully believed in Master and Dafa and that Master was here to save all sentient beings. After that, all my ailments disappeared. I recovered from heart disease without surgery, and my gallstones disappeared. It was because of Master that I changed from being critically ill and full of karma into someone healthier than when I was young. I became a Dafa practitioner of the Fa-rectification period.

I have read every article and lecture that Master has published several times and hand-copied them to remember them more deeply. I have copied Zhuan Falun seven times. Each time I copied it I checked it multiple times. I have copied Hong Yin volumes I -VI twice, and some of them I have memorized and read again and again. I have never stopped studying the Fa and doing the exercises for 30 years.

I went to Beijing to validate the Fa on July 20, 1999. Three leaders from my company came to my home the next day. One of them said, “The police came to ask us who practices Falun Gong. The company has reported you and wants you to hand over all your Falun Gong books.”

I had just returned home from Beijing with my husband, and I told them, “Zhuan Falun is more important than my life. No one can take it away from me, and no one can touch it.” The tribulation became small with my strong righteous thoughts. They left without taking anything and never returned.

Dafa practitioners across the country sued Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader, in 2015 for initiating the persecution of Falun Dafa. I was one of them. The receipt I got for filing the complaint was transferred to the local police station within a week. The police started calling me every three days. I explained the facts about Falun Dafa to them, and said, “How could one not practice such a good exercise?” They said I could practice at home.

They called my husband and said that I had to go to the police station that afternoon. I sent forth righteous thoughts and called the police station. They said they were waiting for me. I told them I had to take care of the elderly at home and could not leave. I asked them to give me a break since they knew that Falun Dafa was good. I told them I wouldn’t go. They never called again.

I took to the streets to clarify the truth to people in person. I have been doing this since 1999. I go out three to five times a week, rain or shine. Most of the time I go with two or three other practitioners, one who has been going with me for 16 years. We work closely with each other. One of us sends forth righteous thoughts, while the other clarifies the truth.

To make it easier to write down the names of those who withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, we don’t wear gloves in the winter, but our hands are always warm.

We go out and return home every day, gratified by what we are doing. We sometimes bring food home with us to cook. We always prepare meals for our families on time. We conform to the state of ordinary people to the maximum extent and fulfill our prehistoric vows to save sentient beings.

I was once clarifying the truth to several people as we were walking and helped a few of them quit the CCP, but I didn’t know the police were following me. The officer came up and grabbed some of my brochures and was going to take me to the police station. I begged Master in my heart, “Master, I’m in trouble. Please help me.”

The officer didn’t listen to me when I told him the truth about Dafa. A young man came over and scolded the officer for being nosy and told me to leave quickly.

I escaped and moved on. I finished distributing the materials I had with me before I went home. I looked inward and found that it was my lack of inner peace that had caused me trouble. From then on, I paid attention to not clarifying the truth to crowds of people, and to be focused and not distracted by random thoughts, let alone being anxious. From then on, I always asked Master to help me find a suitable person when I went out to clarify the truth. It has been more than 10 years since that happened, and I have never had any further incidents.

Master arranged for me to attend a Fa study group at a fellow practitioner’s home only three minutes from my home. We start at 2 p.m, and finish at 6:30 p.m. after we send forth righteous thoughts. It’s great to study the Fa in a group. I find different Fa principles every day and can feel Master’s enlightenment. The energy fills my entire body and makes me sweat.

Master has always told us to study the Fa more. With Master and the Fa by our side, we can do the three things wisely. In addition to sending righteous thoughts four times a day, I also send righteous thoughts twice in the Fa study group. So I send righteous thoughts at least six times a day. Only when the Fa is in one’s heart can one follow the path of cultivation well.

I am still far behind other practitioners when compared to the requirements of Dafa. I will study the Fa more, hold myself to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, steadfastly follow the path arranged by Master, completely negate the old forces’ arrangements, and use the Fa to correct myself so that I can assimilate to Dafa and follow the path to my true home with success.

Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation!
