Gratitude from a New Falun Dafa Practitioner

(Minghui.org) I am a 59-year-old new practitioner. I have studied Zhuan Falun several times with my Fa study group. I would like to share some amazing experiences to express my gratitude to Master and Dafa, and prove that Dafa is extraordinary.

I live in a rural area and have nearly ten acres of land planted with 600 cherry trees. Taking care of them seemed like endless work and I was miserable. I used to be impatient doing farm work in the fields, and the more impatient I was, the more tired I became. Now after I study the Fa, I always have a calm mind. I work the fields efficiently and am not tired. I sometimes only sleep two or three hours a night, but still am full of energy.

I used to have unbearable pain in my right calf below the knee, After I obtained the Fa and did the exercises, the pain disappeared when I meditated. Once when I was working in the fields, my leg started to bother me, I immediately sat under a tree and meditated. It was so comfortable and reminded me of Shakyamuni meditating under the Bodhi tree. I didn’t even want to get up.

Another time, I was driving on the road and my calf started to feel bad again. I had trouble even pressing the brakes. I stopped by the curb and meditated. It took less than five minutes and everything returned to normal. I truly felt that Master’s Law Body was always watching over me, a new practitioner. I realized that the bad things in cultivation are also good things.

I often share with my colleagues, friends and neighbors about these extraordinary events. Falun Dafa is good and has miraculous effects in curing diseases and keeping fit. Although I have just started practicing Falun Dafa, I understand what Master said, “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun) I need to focus on my own cultivation before I could feel the sacredness of Dafa.

I firmly remember what Master said,

“…Let each and every thingbe measured against the Fa.Only then, with that,is it actually cultivation.” (“Solid Cultivation,” Hong Yin)

In the past, I had a short temper and easily became irritated and angry. Now I think of what Master said, “One’s gong level is as high as one’s xinxing level” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun). I should be considerate of others and should keep in mind what Master said, “Let joy be found in hardship.” (“Tempering the Will,” Hong Yin)

I still have a lot of attachments, but I’ve benefited immensely already. I will rectify myself in the Fa and become a true practitioner. Thank you Master for your compassion.
