College Entrance Exams and Righteous Beliefs
By a practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) The College Entrance Exams, the only path to attending
college, occur only once a year in China. For me, they were also a test of my
righteous beliefs.
Before the exams, another practitioner and I openly clarified the truth to
the other students in our main teacher's classes. Afterwards, we did not think
"If we expose the evil we will be persecuted," which I see as wrong thinking,
but sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference and persecution.
As a result, not only were we not persecuted, but we were both given "good
student" awards by the school.
The day before the exams, I felt dizzy and weak, and my mind was unclear. At
first, I fell into an ordinary person's thinking process and attributed this to
the pressure and reaction to the exams, which allowed my unclear thinking to
last throughout the first day of the exam. On the second day of the exam, I
awoke at 5 a.m. to find that I was feverish and my head would make a "woo" sound
whenever I moved it. All of my family members are practitioners, so we started
to think from the Fa: Teacher always chose for my body-cleansing processes
[which may manifest as discomfort in the body] to occur during the holiday
periods so they never prevented me from attending my school courses. This time,
if it were a true body-cleansing process, why did it happen during the college
entrance exams? This must not be a body-cleansing arranged by Teacher but a form
of evil persecution--it wanted me to fail the exams and destroy Dafa's
reputation. Furthermore it also knew that nothing could affect the righteous
beliefs of the practitioners who have experienced various "tests" and
persecution, so it could only persecute my body. Just like Teacher said, "It is
bad, it is venomous, and it is evil. And just like poison, if you want it not to
poison people it can't do that--that's just how it is." ("Teaching the Fa at the
2001 Canada Fa Conference," Guiding the Voyage). After we enlightened to
this, my whole family sat down and started sending forth righteous thoughts to
eliminate the evil. We finished around 7 a.m., and my physical status became
better and better. Within half an hour, the fever completely disappeared. When I
started writing the exam at 9 a.m., my mind was clear and the discomfort in my
body had disappeared.
Due to Teacher's compassion and caring as well as my success in eliminating
the evil, the results of the exam were very good. In two subjects, my marks were
the highest, and my total score was 40 points higher than my best record. In
addition, the miracle Dafa manifested in my body spread through my school and
further validated the greatness of Dafa.
Looking at Teacher's picture, my family and I could not stop our tears.
Recalling these miracles, I suddenly realized: In today's great moment, the evil
is nothing. The degree to which it can damage Dafa depends on Dafa
practitioners' beliefs. If you give it importance or have doubts and fears, you
will follow the dark path it arranges; if you keep a righteous mind and
behavior, an incomparably bright and spectacular path arranged by Dafa will
welcome you.
Tens of thousands of words form one sentence: Thank you Teacher, Dafa is
marvelous!
