Cultivating Diligently and Telling People About Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I’m in my 80s and I started practicing Falun Dafa in May 1999 after my niece told me about it. My family ran a small workshop and despite my poor health I had to do the grocery shopping and cook. A few weeks after I began practicing, all my illnesses disappeared including my bone spurs, gynecological issues, severe headaches, hand problems, and aching feet. It was truly amazing!

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Dafa in July. As a new practitioner, I didn’t understand the Fa principles well, so I was afraid and returned the Dafa books to my niece. I stopped practicing for two years. Not only did all my illnesses return, I developed additional health problems. My niece told me, “The only way to resolve your illnesses is to do the exercises.” So, I resumed practicing the exercises, studying the Fa, and clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa to others. I haven’t been ill since then. Through these experiences, I realized how precious Falun Dafa is, and I vowed to never give it up again. Thank you, Master!

After my health improved I told my relatives, friends, and everyone I met that Falun Dafa is good. In 2004, when the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, I carried large bags filled with copies of the book and I distributed them every day. Sometimes, I caught a bus to a busy market dozens of miles away and I distributed them. The market was packed with people, and I distributed the books without fear. I did this for more than a decade. I also encouraged people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations for their safety. I even spoke to our village Party secretary about this, and I helped him withdraw. Some people told me, “You are fearless!” I felt there was nothing to fear, because my thoughts were focused only on saving people.

When local practitioners planned to hang banners, another practitioner and I went to the city to buy four bolts of yellow cloth. We were both elderly, yet we each carried two bolts and rode the bus home. To conserve ink, we wrote the banners by hand. We made banners this way for many years. We also went out to hang banners, distribute materials, and clarify the facts to people.

My niece and I went out to hang banners one evening. We got lost and couldn’t find our way home. We began reciting the poem from Hong Yin II:

“No Obstacles

Cultivation paths are differentYet all are within DafaWith no attachment to anythingThe path underfoot is naturally clear”

As we recited, we found our way home. It was truly miraculous! I still go out every day to clarify the facts and distribute flyers. Thank you Master for your protection!

My daily schedule includes waking up at 3 a.m., washing, and then doing the exercises. After I send righteous thoughts and eat breakfast, I team up with other practitioners to go out and tell people the truth about Falun Dafa. There are usually two of us, and sometimes three or four. I occasionally go alone. I can’t write, and when I help people withdraw from the CCP organizations, I can only memorize a few names. I usually pair up with other practitioners so they can help me record the names of those who’ve withdrawn. I return home around noon. After lunch, I rest for two hours, and then study the Fa. I don’t go to bed until after I send righteous thoughts at midnight and sometimes not until 1 a.m.

While talking to people about Falun Dafa, I’ve been arrested by CCP agents and illegally detained. There were times when I broke free through righteous thoughts, but other times I failed to pass the tribulation. Yet, I got up again after falling and continued doing what I ought to do.

I set up a Fa study group in my home so practitioners can improve together, and read the Fa together as Master told us. Our group has been going for over a decade now. On one occasion, CCP agents came to my home to harass me. My husband usually goes out every day after lunch, but that day he was home, watching television in the front room. When the CCP agents knocked on the door, he refused to let them in and told them that he was the only one there, so they didn’t come inside.

Why were the CCP agents so compliant and refrained from entering? It was because Master protected us. As long as we walk the path Master arranged for us he will protect us. Thank you, Master, for protecting us every step of the way! We must cherish this rare and precious opportunity to cultivate diligently and earnestly.
