Living by Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and Receiving Blessings by Understanding the Truth

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa as a youth in 1996, and now, having reached middle age, I am deeply grateful to Master for guiding me to be a better person and helping me understand our origins, our purpose, and the meaning of life. Through cultivating in Falun Dafa, I have gained a healthy body and a more upright character.

In an era dominated by materialism and the pursuit of wealth, I have chosen not to follow the crowd, and have instead remained kindhearted, and live an optimistic and fulfilling life. I put the principles of Falun Dafa, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” into practice and showcased the beauty of Dafa to people around me through my actions.

Putting “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” Into Practice at Work

Because I refused to renounce my faith in Falun Dafa I was detained in a provincial women’s forced labor camp for two years. After being released in 2004, I returned to work and resumed my normal life.

My job was relatively light—I was responsible for issuing receipts, and each receipt had to be signed by a supervisor. At the end of each month, I had to compile all receipts and submit them. I also never missed a day of work.

I always reminded myself that I was a practitioner and should strive to be a good person wherever I went. I arrived at work early every day, worked diligently, and carried out my duties conscientiously.

Since I arrived earlier than all the others, I always cleaned my department, including sweeping and mopping floors, taking out the trash, and wiping down every desk, chair, and workstation. My colleagues noticed my efforts and genuinely respected me as a Falun Dafa practitioner.

Some colleagues wanted to share with me a portion of their so-called “gray income.” Although it was not much, I explained to them that as a Falun Dafa practitioner, I must follow Master’s teachings, remain free from greed, and never take what did not belong to me.

A cashier once discovered that 500 yuan was missing from her safe. Since I was the only person present at the time, she assumed I had taken it. She lost her temper and made veiled accusations against me. I kept Master’s teachings in mind, remembering that when conflicts arise, I should maintain a noble demeanor rather than stoop to their level.

I calmly said to her, “Please look carefully. The money has not been lost.” She calmed down and eventually found the money.

Afterwards, one of my colleagues said in front of everyone, “You can suspect anyone else, but you should not suspect her!” All my colleagues knew that as a Falun Dafa practitioner I was neither greedy nor corrupt.

Following the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Master called on practitioners to save sentient beings and help people withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I sincerely cared about my colleagues’ futures, so I told them about the changes in celestial phenomena and explained that the CCP had committed too many evil deeds, and would ultimately face Heaven’s judgement. I encouraged them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations so they wouldn’t be implicated. Most of them agreed to withdraw.

However, not everyone was willing to do so. One day, just before the end of the workday, I was explaining the facts about the CCP to a coworker, and tried to persuade her to withdraw from it. Suddenly, she snapped at me, “Don’t talk to me about this! You are just cursing me.”

She continued hurling harsh remarks at me. I don’t remember exactly what she said, but her words came at me like a barrage of bullets. I was completely stunned (and other coworkers witnessed what happened). I wondered whether I felt wronged or whether my pride had been hurt. My mind raced as I tried to figure out what I had said that had offended her.

Holding back my tears, I silently walked outside, where I could no longer contain my emotions. I thought to myself, “Why is saving people so hard!”

Just then, I happened to see countless golden Faluns spinning before my eyes. I realized that Master was encouraging me not to lose heart on the path of saving people.

I continued to look inward after returning home. I was probably too eager to help her, leading her to misunderstand that she must “withdraw from CCP and its affiliated organizations.” I realized that I had not clearly explained the true meaning of “withdrawal.”

The next day at work, I greeted her warmly and naturally, as if nothing had happened. She seemed to be influenced by my attitude and didn’t act any differently either. We were back to being as close as ever.

From then on, I held myself more strictly to the principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and sought to inspire those around me through my actions. Eventually, that coworker agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She even asked me to help her husband withdraw from the CCP’s affiliated organizations.

Long-time Party Member Recites “Falun Dafa Is Good”

An old colleague of mine, who was also a longtime member of CCP, helped me find a job. I call him Uncle Wang. When I explained to him that “Falun Dafa is good” and that the Tieananmen Square self-mmolation incident was a hoax, he listened quietly.

I was later transferred to an office where I often saw Uncle Wang. Whenever we were alone, I talked to him about Falun Dafa, shared the stories of how it heals illnesses and promotes health, and discussed the CCP’s history of killing, including the campaigns launched by the CCP that have led to the unnatural deaths of 80 million Chinese people during peacetime. I told him that Heaven will hold the CCP accountable for its crimes, and only by withdrawing from the Party and its affiliated organizations can one ensure their safety.

Uncle Wang always listened and agreed with me. Once he told me that he really hated the CCP. I said, “The CCP has done so many terrible things, killed so many people. You should quit the Party. When Heaven brings it to account, you will be safe.” He looked around and whispered, “No one will find out, will they?” I told him that he could us a pseudonym to withdraw. He nodded solemnly, and I was relieved that he had chosen a bright future for himself.

About one year later, Uncle Wang was diagnosed with hepatitis. Afraid of contracting the disease, his colleagues avoided getting close to him. I was the only one who continued to interact with him as usual.

One day when no one was around, I gave him an amulet bearing the words, “Sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good,’ and you will be blessed when disaster strikes.” He put the amulet in his pocket.

A few days later, he went on sick leave and never returned to work.

I lost track of how much time had passed, when one day Uncle Wang suddenly reappeared at work. I greeted him warmly. He patted his jacket pocket and said, “It’s all thanks to this (pointing to the amulet)! I went to a small hospital for a checkup, and they said all my test results were normal. I was afraid it was too good to be true. I went to another hospital for a double check, and they confirmed that all my test results were normal!”

When I looked I saw a smile on his face that I hadn’t seen in a long time. I was truly happy for him, for his recovery, and for the salvation he had found through Dafa.

During the Lunar New Year, he sent me a text message expressing his gratitude. I still remember one line, “Your heart is as beautiful as a blooming flower!” To me, these words were not only praise for a Dafa practitioner but also a heartfelt tribute to the practice of Falun Dafa.

My Friend’s Sister Is Blessed

I have a very kind friend who works in the government sector and often praises me for my good character. She knows I genuinely have her best interests at heart, so when I mentioned withdrawing from the CCP, she agreed.

Her older sister is a teacher, and whenever I see her, I tell her about the greatness of Falun Dafa and explain why she should withdraw from CCP and its affiliated organizations. She has always refused.

One day, the older sister and I visited my friend’s house and we stayed there overnight. Her sister and I shared a bed.

As we lay there, I resolved to help her understand the truth this time. Unable to sleep at all, I spoke to her about many things, including how Falun Dafa heals illness and promotes health, its global spread, the CCP’s brutal persecution and the world’s outrage, the CCP’s corruption, and even changes in celestial phenomena.

We talked until almost midnight. I asked her, “How about I use a pseudonym to help you withdraw from the Party?” She replied, “Sure!”

From then on, whenever I saw her, I would gently remind her to recite “Falun Dafa is good.” I told her, “These words will protect you in times of danger.” Afterward, I would move on to other topics. She was touched by my sincerity and kindness, and these beautiful words gradually took root in her heart.

Later, when I learned that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, I told my friend to make sure her sister remembered the auspicious phrase.

After her sister underwent surgery, something remarkable happened.

My friend recounted that after surgery, patients like her sister usually experience severe pain, but not only did her sister feel no pain, she was even sitting up in bed. The doctor advised her to lie down, saying, “You will start feeling pain in a moment.”

While her sister drifted between sleep and wakefulness, she saw a tall man in a long robe come in and say, “You are all right now.” She also saw a Buddha statue, with me standing beside it.

I told my friend, “You sister has been saved. Master saved her!” My friend looked very excited and was deeply moved.

Today, my friend’s sister is still alive and well—it has been almost 20 years now.

I hope my experiences can shine as a beacon of light, dispelling confusion and bringing hope and blessings to others. I sincerely hope that more people will come to understand the beauty and goodness of Falun Dafa.
