Miraculous Cultivation Experiences

(Minghui.org) I’m a 71-year-old woman who began practicing Falun Dafa in March 1999. I have always sensed that Master Li Hongzhi has been safeguarding me all these years. Even though I’m nearly illiterate, I want to write about my miraculous experiences in doing the three things to validate the extraordinary nature of Dafa.

Zhuan Falun Is Truly a Wonderful Book

I used to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, migraines, and bronchitis. I was 45 years old then, and my life was miserable.

After I began practicing, I could only read a few simple Chinese characters, so I listened to Master’s recorded Fa lectures as opposed to reading the Dafa books. The very first time I heard the lectures, I already knew that they were sacred. Master’s voice didn’t seem to come from the recording but, rather, from my celestial eye. Sometimes, it affected my face, making it twitch. And there were other times when I sensed something in the back of my head. It was amazing!

As I listened to the lectures, I sometimes fell asleep without meaning to, but I could still hear Master’s voice. After I finished listening to them all, I didn’t sleep for two nights in a row, but I was full of energy and not at all sleepy. At first, I didn’t know why, but by studying the Fa more, I realized Master was clearing bad substances out of my head.

After this experience, all my ailments were completely gone. When I walked, I felt light, as if walking on air. It was a very comfortable feeling. I knew Dafa was truly good and that I must practice it diligently! I met other practitioners and joined their Fa-study group. Three months later, I could read all of Zhuan Falun.

I cherished this precious book and read it whenever I had time. I was once so engrossed in reading that I didn’t even realize it was getting dark. When my husband came home and saw me, he asked, “What are you reading? How can you see in this darkness? Why don’t you turn on the light?”

Only then did I realize that it was truly dark. But when I was reading, every word of Zhuan Falun lit up like a small bulb, giving off a soft red glow. So my reading wasn’t affected at all. This was extraordinary! I couldn’t help but say to myself, “This is truly a precious book, such a precious book!”

A Vision of Master in a Dream

Only four months after I began practicing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa. Even though I was fairly new to the practice, I was steadfast in my faith.

It was my brother who introduced me to the practice. He lived in another city and was an assistant at a Falun Dafa practice site. He was later imprisoned by the CCP for two years. I went with my parents and sister to visit him periodically.

On one visit, a police officer at the prison entrance asked me, “Do you practice Falun Dafa?”

I replied, “Yes. What about it? Why would I not? Falun Dafa teaches me to be a good person by following Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, so of course I’ll practice.” He didn’t say anything and let me in.

On another occasion when I went to see my brother, a police officer asked me again, “Do you practice Falun Dafa?”

I replied, “It teaches people to be good. Of course I do.” Then he, too, just let me go inside.

I sat across from my brother and told him about the proper way to send forth righteous thoughts. The officers present asked us not to talk about Dafa, but I didn’t pay any attention to them. After my brother learned the phrases for sending righteous thoughts, it helped him endure the torture he was subjected to in prison.

During the two years my brother was illegally detained, I began to slack off in my cultivation. I didn’t want to get up in the morning to do the exercises until, one night, I had a very clear dream. I saw someone outside my window floating toward my apartment building. I lived on the second floor and, as the person got closer and closer, I saw it was Master Li wearing a yellow kasaya. He landed on the ground floor below me, and I shouted through the window, “Master! Master! Master!” When he looked up at me, he smiled.

I knew it was Master encouraging me to be more diligent. From then on, I was diligent about doing the three things well.

The Earth Shook and Mountains Trembled

Master’s article about instructing practitioners on how to send forth righteous thoughts was published on the Minghui website in 2001. At the time, I didn’t have a deep understanding and only went through the motions of sending righteous thoughts. I wondered what could actually be accomplished in those few minutes?

I fell asleep after I finished sending righteous thoughts one day. In a dream, I was reciting the Fa-rectification formula, when, suddenly, there was an earthquake. I was shocked and surprised.

When I woke up, I realized that Master was giving me a hint about the importance of sending righteous thoughts and their true manifestation in other dimensions. I then sat up to send righteous thoughts again. While clearing my mind for the first five minutes, I could feel that something bad was being eliminated around me. I then saw two tiny dots appear in front of my eyes, then slowly disappear as my surroundings became clear. I knew it was my righteous thoughts cleaning out a bad substance. I came to understand those dots were dark minions of the old forces. As this went on, I was sweating profusely.

I began to pay a lot of attention to righteous thoughts from then on. Before talking to people about Dafa, I always clear out my dimensional field as Master taught us.

Lost Money Returns to Me in Different Way

I was self-employed when I was younger and rented a booth in a shopping mall to sell merchandise. Since practitioners occasionally used currency with information about Dafa printed on the bills, I felt I could do that to clarify the facts to people when transacting business.

I understood, that as a practitioner, telling people the truth about Dafa was most important. So whenever I got ready to do that, I sent righteous thoughts and asked for Master’s empowerment to eliminate any negative factors interfering with our efforts.

At first, I used this currency exclusively in my own business. But since I often went to the wholesale market to buy goods, I started exchanging this currency with the merchants who knew me. They asked, “Why is there writing on these bills?”

I’d then say, “It’s good to have one of these bills! Everything written on them is the truth. It’s life-saving advice and a blessing.” They accepted my explanation, so I started exchanging those bills with them regularly.

There were also xinxing tests. I once went to exchange money with a merchant. He wanted 100 yuan in one-yuan bills, but I was in a hurry to get home and mistakenly gave him a wad of 10-yuan bills instead. When I got home, I realized I had overpaid him. The next day, I went back to the merchant, but he denied it, saying I only gave him 100 yuan. I wasn’t really bothered by it and went home. I later remembered that there is nothing accidental in one’s cultivation, so, if the money hadn’t really belonged to me, I’d have paid back a debt. I completely let it go and didn’t worry about it anymore.

The next day, my sales skyrocketed, and I made a net profit of about 600 yuan, which had never happened before. Sales went very well over the next couple of days, and then they went back down to normal.

I thought this was Master encouraging me. It truly proved what he said;

“If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)

The lost money had come back to me in another way, which validated the extraordinary and miraculous nature of Dafa.

I continued to exchange 5,000 to 10,000 yuan in these bills every week. However, this practice stopped with the rise of mobile payments. Over 10 years, I had exchanged untold numbers of these bills with the merchants. Looking back, it was quite unbelievable. I knew that everything came down to Master’s benevolent guidance and protection.

A Close Call

Before I went out, I always sent righteous thoughts in advance to eliminate any evil factors of the CCP that might try to interfere with talking to people about Dafa.

On one occasion, I struck up a conversation with a mother and son. I said, “Young man, you are very good-looking—just like your mother!” He seemed quite pleased, so I continued, “Let me share some good news with you about Falun Dafa.”

The man’s smile vanished as he said with a stern expression on his face, “I’m a police officer. Don’t speak about Dafa here.”

I wasn’t intimidated and continued, “I’m doing this for your benefit.”

He stopped me again and started searching for something at his waist, murmuring, “Where did my handcuffs go?” After searching for a while, he said he didn’t bring the cuffs with him and was about to make a phone call. I quickly sent righteous thoughts to stop him from committing a crime against a practitioner and then managed to escape.

There have been similar experiences, yet I was safe each time under Master’s benevolent protection. Thank you, Master, for protecting your practitioner.

After having experienced the miraculous and extraordinary nature of Dafa, what I came to realize is that Master asks us to send righteous thoughts diligently, which is a very powerful tool. So before I do anything, I send righteous thoughts so that I can get every task done well and ensure my safety. Fellow practitioners, let us all complete our cultivation journey using the extraordinary abilities that Master has bestowed upon us.
