Young Beibei's Cultivation Stories
(Clearwisdom.net) In May 1997, Beibei started to cultivate Falun
Dafa along with his mother. At the time he was 9 years-old. Dafa is now deeply
rooted in his heart. The following are some of the stories from his cultivation
practice.
1. One day in September 1997, Beibei accidentally bumped into a classmate who
was holding a cup of steaming hot water. The water spilled, and scalded the
classmate's hand. Angrily the classmate poured the remaining water onto Beibei's
chest causing severe burns that blistered immediately. Despite the injustice of
the retaliation, Beibei kept silent and didn't blame the boy. Other classmates
were scared by the wound and called the teacher. The teacher informed the other
student's parents, and together they went to Beibei's home.
Beibei's mother asked about what happened, but she mainly consoled the
teacher and the classmate's parents without blame. Beibei said to his mother,
"I feel uncomfortable bringing so much trouble to the teacher..."
Hearing this, the other student's parents and the teacher were too moved to say
anything. "We were prepared to face anger, but..." said the other
student's parents, "now we feel so ashamed."
That night, when Beibei laid down to sleep after finishing his homework, his
mother asked him, "Do the burns hurt?" "No," answered
Beibei. To a cultivator, good and evil come from one's instant thought. The next
morning the blisters had disappeared, and the skin looked normal. After that the
trouble-making student was no longer as naughty as before.
2. In 1999, Beibei was attending his second semester of middle school. He
ranked among the first five in the middle school entrance exam.
One month after the beginning of the new semester, Beibei's mother went to
appeal for Falun Gong in Beijing. Afterwards Beibei and his father also
appealed. They were arrested. The three family members were sent back home on
the same day. Beibei's father was arrested, while he and his mother were taken
to the local "610 Office." Seeing the miserable look on his mother's
face, Beibei encouraged her saying, "Mom, don't worry. I'll go to school
all the same, but you must not write any guarantee." This shocked everyone
in the room. His mother was sent to a detention center. It is hard to imagine
that an 11 year-old kid was forced to live alone.
Although he had never been to his grandmother's house before, Beibei took the
bus there alone, and brought his grandmother back to his home. Arriving back in
school, the principal and all the teachers talked with him one by one, urging
him to give up practicing cultivation. Beibei said, "I should not
lie." Under the pressure, his teacher said sternly, "You'll be
expelled if you don't write the promise." Beibei, however, replied firmly,
"Whatever!" At home, Beibei's grandmother and many other relatives
anxiously tried to persuade him to write a fake promise, but Beibei firmly
insisted that following "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" and
striving to be a good person is not wrong. He refused to speak any lies against
his conscience.
3. Over the last 3 years, the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners by the
regime has continued to escalate. Beibei has been forced to live without the
care of his parents and has borne cruelty he should never have had to witness.
On December 5, 2001, Beibei's mother was arrested again for distributing
materials that clarify the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. His father
was still in a labor camp. The police officers escorted his mother to their
home, ransacked it, and stole a computer and other materials. His mother was
handcuffed and Beibei watched. Their righteous thoughts stopped the police
officers from swearing, but they still sent Beibei's mother to a detention
center, leaving Beibei without his parents once again.
The neighbors all knew Beibei's mother was a good person, so they helped to
look after Beibei while she was being held in the detention center. Once, Beibei
went to visit his mother, and he comforted her by saying, "I am fine,
neither hungry nor cold." His mother relaxed a lot in her heart and became
more determined in the jail. She fearlessly and continually clarified the truth
to the criminals and wardens, thus helping those with predestined relationships.
After conducting a hunger strike, his mother was finally released
unconditionally on April 19, 2002. The "610 Office," still refused to
leave her alone. 10 days after her release, she was forced to leave home to
avoid arrest. Beibei had to part with his mother, but he was proud of her when
he told her story to his classmates. His father kept clarifying the truth to the
police officers in the labor camp and was very determined to remain steadfast in
belief. He was released at the end of his sentence.
After reading Beibei's experience, what thoughts do you have? Perhaps you are
a mother, a teacher, or a youngster the same age as Beibei. The persecution of
people who believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" by the
lawless Chinese regime has made countless families suffer tremendously. They
could never deserve such unjust conditions. |
