By Falun Dafa Practitioner in China

November 14, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) One rainy day, three practitioners, including myself, decided to go to a remote village to clarify the truth. However, one of the practitioners who had agreed to go was late, and by the time we all met the bus had already left. My umbrella was also broken. However, we understood in our hearts that saving sentient beings is the task of Falun Dafa disciples and no evil old forces could stop us.

Because we missed the bus, we had to walk to the village in the rain. We had not walked too far when it started raining heavily, but we still didn't give up. After we had walked a long way, finally we saw lights. At this moment, we were soaking wet and our hands were frozen and numb from the cold. The residents of this village are spread out over a large area. Family dwellings are quite far from their neighbors. The road was full of thick mud and we frequently slipped in the mud and water. However, we didn't miss one single family. We could not let them lose the opportunity of tens of thousands of years for the sake of our temporary comfort.

One of the practitioners among us was an elderly lady of almost 70 years. When we went down along a sharp slope, she went along the slope like a young woman. We all laughed and said, "You are so great." She said, "We are all Teacher's disciples, and we can endure the pain ordinary people cannot and accomplish things that ordinary people cannot." Sometimes fatigue and pain made me feel that I could no longer walk a single step, and at these times I repeatedly recited in my mind:

"A Great Enlightened Being does not fear hardship

Having forged an adamantine will

And with no attachment to living or dying

He walks his path of Fa-rectification openly and nobly"

("Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions")

As I was doing this, my whole body became very warm.
