The Fa Rectifies the Heart: a "Prodigal Son" Changes for Good
Nov 25, 2002
(Clearwisdom.net) In one town, there was a "prodigal son." One day he met
a Dafa practitioner and told him that he wanted to learn Falun Dafa. The Dafa
practitioner thought this guy wasn't a good person and said, "A person like you
is not good enough to learn Dafa!" After saying that the Dafa practitioner
walked away without any further words. Not very long after that, the "prodigal
son" got drunk and again found that Dafa practitioner, he said angrily, "What
right do you have to reject me from learning Dafa?" The practitioner came to
realize that he might be a predestined person and taught him the five exercises
to start.
Later the practitioner brought Dafa books to his home. Seeing that he still
had decadent VCDs and the other messy things, the practitioner told him, "To
practice Dafa one cannot immerse himself in the base things of everyday people;
you must get rid of this obscene stuff!" He followed the Dafa practitioner's
words and cleaned his home.
Since he started learning Falun Dafa, his body and mind went through enormous
changes: his celestial eye opened, he had many experiences that were difficult
to put into words, and he gave up the bad habits that he had before. When one
person obtains the Fa, many people receive benefits as well. Because of him,
many of his old friends also obtained Dafa, and now his home has become the
place where he and his friends learn Dafa.
He called one of his friends serving in the police force and told him his own
experiences of practicing Falun Gong. This policeman said to him, "Nobody will
bother you if you indulge in eating, get drunk, messing with prostitutes, and
gambling, but you will be arrested if you practice Falun Gong!" He laughed and said
to the policeman, "Come, I want to discuss with you [about how good Falun
Gong is and how ridiculous the persecution is]."
Master said,
"If people do not value virtue, the world will be in great chaos and out
of control; every one will become enemies of one another and live without
happiness. Living without happiness, they will not fear death. Lao Zi said,
'If the populace doesn't fear death, what good will it do to threaten them
with death?' This is a great, imminent danger. A peaceful world is what
people hope for. If at this point an excessive number of laws and decrees
are created to secure stability, it will end up having the opposite effect.
In order to solve this problem, virtue has to be cultivated around the world
- only this way can the problem be fundamentally resolved." ("Pacify the
External by Cultivating the Internal," from Falun Dafa Essentials For
Further Advancement)
