In June 2001, I went to Beijing once again to validate the Fa [law and principles]. After arriving in Beijing, I bought a return ticket for that evening. During this busy tourist season, I even unexpectedly happened to obtain a seat.

In the evening when I got on the train, the passageways in the railway carriage were filled with passengers that didn't have seats. A young man saw an empty seat beside me and asked me for that seat. I very naturally moved to the empty seat inside and gave my seat to him. I thought, "This young man looks very kind, and I should introduce Falun Dafa to him before the passenger who booked this seat comes." Thus I started our conversation.

This young man was from Xinxiang City, Henan Province. He knew a lot about what Yue Fei (a well-known national hero in the Southern Song Dynasty in ancient China who bravely resisted the invasion from another country yet was later framed and killed by a betrayer) and Sakyamuni said. He told me that a fortune-teller once predicted he had a predestined relationship with Buddha. He was doing some temporary job in a city and planned to go to school when he got enough money to pay for tuition... Then I started to talk about the implications of reading books and gradually changed the topic to Falun Gong and its teachings, such as people's need to let go of fame, self-interest, and sentimentality... In this way, we talked for the whole night, losing track of the time.

In the end, I asked him, "Why did you buy a ticket, even though you knew there would not be any seat, in such hot weather?" He answered, "I don't know why. These days I feel uneasy in my mind while being at home (in Xinxiang) and just wanted to come back [to the city where I have a temporary job]. After coming to Beijing [to change trains], I thought I had to take this train even though there weren't any available seats. I don't know the reason." After listening to him, I understood right away. I asked him to think about why he had to take this train back without knowing the reason. Why the passenger who booked the seat I was sitting in didn't get on this train at all? Wasn't this his predestined relationship with Buddha? I didn't know what kind of predestined relationship I had with him in a past life. How many thoughts and efforts has Master Li made to help predestined people to obtain Dafa! It is indeed:

"Taking care of all affairs in human world,

Showing concern over heavenly suffering."

("Unbearably Cold in Higher Places," Hong Yin)

Before leaving, he left me his name and telephone number. Later, I made a special trip to the city where he had a temporary job to give him Dafa books and a truth-clarifying CD. Another predestined person has obtained Dafa with Master Li's careful arrangements.

Because of this, I deeply feel that I should take my steps well on this route Master Li has arranged for me and complete my historical mission.
