(Minghui.org) I am 74 years old, and I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2014. With Master Li’s protection, I am committed to following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance while traveling the path of returning to my true self. I am deeply grateful to Master and Dafa. They taught me the real meaning of life and the purpose of being in this world. I would like to tell Master about my cultivation experiences and share them with fellow practitioners.

I Changed Completely

My husband and I worked at the same company, but the company-assigned house was in my name. My salary was higher, so our savings account was in my name. My husband’s many siblings were poor, so he often helped them out. I was unhappy about that, saying I didn’t do the same for my family. We fought frequently over issues like this. He asked me why I always spoke to him in a condescending tone rather than in a normal one. I truly looked down on him at the time.

After I learned Dafa, I realized I had been totally immersed in the culture of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and had spoken and acted in line with that culture. If it were not for Dafa, I would have been completely destroyed. I totally changed once I became a cultivator. I learned the principles of Dafa and corrected myself according to them everywhere I could. The first attachment I let go of was resentment for my husband.

I soon realized that my husband is very kind. He is diligent at work, cooks, helps with household chores, and can fix our telephone and appliances. He has a good reputation in the company and in the company housing complex. He is also very respectful of my parents.

Master helped us move into a larger house, and the title is now in both our names. All the savings accounts are in my husband’s name, so he is in charge of them. His parents live in another city. I asked him to give them more money each time he visited them. At Chinese New Year and on other occasions, I asked my husband to send them money. When we visited them, we prepared meals for everyone. My sister-in-law said she liked coming home when I was visiting because I took care of everything. We treated everyone to a meal at a restaurant to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday. It was a happy occasion.

Now I speak more slowly at home. My husband and I can have a conversation and discuss matters peacefully. Our home is one of my cultivation environments. I accept my husband’s criticism and try not to become defensive. I correct my mistakes and avoid repeating them. I want to use every tribulation to look inward and elevate myself.

To me, cultivating Dafa is wonderful. I missed so many opportunities to learn Dafa in the past. Had I learned it earlier, I would have known how to behave properly and be a good person a long time ago.

Now I get up at 3:10 a.m. to do the exercises with practitioners around the world. I study one lecture of Zhuan Falun in the morning, and go out to tell people about Dafa and the persecution in the afternoon. Then I read practitioners’ sharing articles on Minghui.org and memorize the Fa when I have time. In the evening, I study Master’s new articles. My life is simple. I used to be someone whose main goal was to make money. Now I am a cultivator who follows Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Master has told us many times that we need to study the Fa frequently. I used to become distracted when I sent righteous thoughts or studied the teachings. Now I tell myself that I need to have a respectful mindset to be enlightened to the inner content of Dafa and assimilate to it. I should not treat studying Dafa as a duty. I need to evaluate everything I encounter with Dafa’s standards, cultivate away human concepts and attachments, and truly obtain the Fa.

Telling People the Facts About Dafa

Master has told us to do the three things well. Whenever possible, I go out at noon after sending righteous thoughts. The following are a few incidents that touched me.

One day, I saw an elderly woman sitting on some steps and told her she looked fit. When she said that she was 86, I told her, “You look so kind. Heaven will protect you.” She said she asked Heaven for protection every day. “You need to recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’” I told her. “You can avoid tribulations and your health will improve.”

When I asked her if she had ever joined the CCP or its affiliated organizations, she said she had joined the Youth League. I asked her to withdraw from it in her heart, and she said she would.

I reminded her of the CCP’s disastrous political campaigns, including the Great Leap Forward, which led to the Great Famine, in which 40 million people starved to death. Then came the Cultural Revolution. They also killed so many students on June 4, 1989, and began persecuting Falun Dafa in 1999. I said, “Falun Dafa is a high-level dharma. Heaven will punish those who persecute it.”

She responded, “Indeed! The CCP hasn’t done anything good. They fight all the time. They attack one group today, another tomorrow. They have never cared about people’s lives. The three years of COVID-19 was an even worse disaster. People cannot afford to go to the hospital these days.”

I gave her a Dafa amulet and told her it was priceless, that it could keep her and her family safe. She smiled and put it in her pocket.

I advised another elderly woman I met to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and asked if she had joined the CCP or any of its affiliates. She had joined the Youth League, so I asked her to quit it so Heaven would negate the vow she made when she joined. She agreed, and I wished her peace as we neared her home.

She said loudly, “Same to you. I hope Falun Dafa will become stronger and stronger.”

People are awakening. More and more are learning the truth about Falun Dafa. They have waited thousands of years to hear the Fa. We need to remember our mission and not miss any predestined people Master wants us to encounter. I will do the three things well. I hope everyone will recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and choose a good future for themselves.
