After Three Years of Searching, She Finally Found Salvation

(Minghui.org) I have encountered many touching stories over the years when clarifying the truth. Many people I met were not ordinary. Some, upon seeing me, would immediately open up and pour out their hearts, as if they had been waiting for me to listen to them. I could feel their trust and sincerity. When they left, they would express deep gratitude and hope to meet me again. Their divine sides understood everything because they had finally found the way to their true homes.

Here is a short story from one of my experiences.

Late in August of last year, I was out riding my electric bike when I noticed an old electric bike parked by the road. Nearby, under the shade of a tree next to a flower bed, sat a woman of about 60 years old. She was wearing an outdated long skirt with an old black blazer, an outfit that seemed quite mismatched, especially since the weather was still quite warm. Her face was dull, and somewhat grayish and haggard. I stopped and asked, “Ma’am, what time is it please?”

“Almost 11 o’clock,” she replied. I parked my bike, sat down beside her, and started chatting. It was as if she had finally found someone to confide in—she poured out all the pain she had been holding inside. When we next checked the time, more than two hours had passed. With joy in her heart, she said to me, “Thank you, you saved me.” I told her it wasn’t me, it was my Master who saved her.

Here’s what happened: Over a three-year period, she had lost three of her loved ones—her parents and her husband. They passed away suddenly without any warning, leaving her completely unprepared. For the past three years, she hadn’t spoken to or greeted anyone. Each day, after breakfast, she would ride her electric bike aimlessly until there was only enough power left to get back home. She had suffered from insomnia for three years. Unable to sleep at night, she paced from one room to another. When exhausted, she would sit on the couch for a while, but she could never truly rest. It was a painful existence. Her two daughters, very filial, signed her up for various activities like swimming and yoga classes to help her socialize, but she refused to participate. Every day, she would just wander around, passing time without knowing what she was looking for. My instinct told me that her knowing side was searching for a Falun Dafa practitioner who could help her and her family attain salvation.

She said to me, “Today is very strange. This morning, I slept for an hour and felt extremely comfortable. I was so happy that I can’t even describe it. Look, I even sent a WeChat message to my friend about it. Everything I saw today looks fresh—the buildings, trees, and flowers—as if I haven’t seen them for years. I originally planned to keep walking, but for some reason, I turned back and sat here. I never used to sit down like this.”

I realized that Master had purified her mind that morning, allowing her to finally get some real sleep. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have even talked to me. She said to me, “In the past, if you had spoken to me, I wouldn’t have responded. I never talked to strangers, but today I talked to you for a long time.”

She told me about a dream she had. One day, she dreamed that she was burning paper offerings for her husband. In the dream, her husband floated out from the grave, dressed in the attire of an immortal. His clothing was different from what we usually wear. He told her not to worry about him because he was doing well over there—neither cold nor hot, and he didn’t have to work in the fields. The food he ate came from fruits picked directly from trees, so there was no need to burn paper offerings for him, as he didn’t need them.

She also said that there were no tall buildings over there, only small pavilions. Her husband told her that he was with her parents and that he took care of them, so she didn’t need to worry about them either.

I told her, “They are not in the netherworld. They are in the celestial realm. You can rest assured.”

I shared with her the blessings of Dafa and told her real-life stories of people who had benefited from sincerely reciting the auspicious phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I urged her, “You must recite these phrases sincerely, and you will see its power. Tonight, you will sleep soundly until morning.” In the end, she gave me the names of her parents and husband, and asked me to help them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. Before we parted, we agreed to meet at the same place the next day, because she expressed her desire to learn Falun Dafa. I planned to bring her the book Zhuan Falun.

We met the next morning, and she was a completely different person. Her complexion looked fairer, and her face radiated with joy and happiness. She arrived early and was sitting there waiting for me. As soon as we met, she eagerly and excitedly said, “I read the materials you gave me as soon as I got home. Last night, I slept from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m.. I felt wonderful! I wanted to sleep a little longer, but we had an appointment, so I got up. Otherwise, I would have slept even more because I felt so comfortable. This morning, when I washed my face and looked in the mirror, I felt like I had become fairer and looked prettier. That heavy feeling in my chest is gone. I just feel happy. I can’t stop smiling!”

I saw that she was truly immersed in happiness. Her face was glowing with happiness, and she had even changed her clothing. Her complexion looked much healthier. From the bottom of her heart, she sincerely said, “Thank you for saving me! You don’t know, but I was barely holding on. If this had continued, I would have been done for.”

I said to her, “You should thank my Master. Everything was arranged by him, including our meeting. Master is here to save people.” She deeply believed it. I then told her, “You helped your family quit the CCP, so you have accumulated immense virtue. They will all be grateful to you.”

For three years, she had endured many sleepless nights and wandered alone day after day, through the changing seasons, exposed to the wind and sun, walking through countless streets and alleys. What was she searching for? She was looking for her true master, for a way to be saved. She had been following the traces of Dafa practitioners, longing for spiritual salvation.

She told me that in an alley in her hometown, there were Dafa practitioners who would meditate daily on large cushions. However, no one had ever told her the truth about Falun Dafa. Hearing this, I felt somewhat uneasy.

I have noticed that some practitioners did not place enough emphasis on face-to-face truth clarification. They may believe that staying at home to help produce truth-clarifying materials or assist in other ways is sufficient, as long as they remain occupied with Dafa work. However, direct interaction with people allows us to truly resolve their doubts and open up their hearts. If we can step forward, speak to people, listen to them, and personally hand them truth materials, we would know that this is a process of personal elevation—one that genuinely refines and improves us. It nurtures our compassion, helps us let go of “self,” and allows us to reach higher realms.

Master brings predestined people to us. They are the sentient beings of our world, waiting for us to save them. It is to see whether we can let go of concerns about life and death, release our fears, and abandon our attachment to saving face, in order to fulfill our historical mission and honor our sacred vows.
