Family of New Practitioners Validates the Fa and Experiences the Blessings of Dafa
(Clearwisdom.net) In August 2001, a practitioner told me the truth about the
persecution of Falun Gong. What on earth was the reason that over a hundred
million people would rather face imprisonment than give up the practice? Since I
had always been interested in cultivation practice, I borrowed a copy of
Zhuan Falun from her and finished reading it in two nights. I understood
that it is what I had been searching for my whole life, and that it is a
precious book.
Someone told my father that I had learned Falun Gong. My father had been
deceived by the lies on TV. Though he was a kind person, he was so angry that he
wanted to burn down my house. I wouldn't give up practicing Falun Gong because I
solidly believe that there is nothing wrong in being a good person who follows
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. I didn't blame him. I knew that he was also a victim
of deception. Seeing that I was not perturbed, my father turned to force my wife
to divorce me. My wife had also read the book, and understood the principles
quite well. Seeing that this didn't work, my father threatened to drown my
child. As we dragged the child back, he picked up a bottle of farm chemicals and
threatened to commit suicide. At that moment, my wife could not take it any
more, and asked me to give up cultivation. I was wondering why it had to be so
hard simply because I wanted to be a good person following
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. I quietly begged Master to help me. I firmly told my
sister, who was there at the time, that I was not doing anything wrong in being
a good person following Truth-Compassion-Tolerance, and that I would not give
this up. I told them that I would have to leave home if father insisted on doing
this. Then my sister snatched the bottle of farm chemical away from him. At that
time, I had only attained the Fa 3 days before, and I had read Zhuan Falun
only once.
After that, my father didn't want to talk to me for quite a while. I felt he
was in a pitiful state, and I wanted to help him attain this genuine Fa, which
is hard to get in thousands of years. When my father was not home, I clarified
the truth to my mother. My kindness touched her finally, and she started to read
the book. Immediately she understood that it is a book that teaches people to be
good. After she learned the exercises, her leg pain that had lasted for years
was healed. Led by my mother, my father started to listen to Master's lecture
tapes. Due to his long hours of farm work over the years, my father could not
sit for more than half an hour; otherwise he would get a backache. This time he
sat there and watched the lectures until almost midnight, and did not mention
anything about any pain at all. What's even more miraculous was, he fell asleep
during a later section, but he remembered all of Master's words and did not miss
a single sentence. Now he understood that Falun Gong was not an ordinary Qigong.
It also helped to strengthen my belief that what Zhuan Falun talks about
is all truth.
"Though they may sleep soundly, they hear everything without missing a
single word." ("The Issue of Pursuit,"
Zhuan Falun)
The next day, my father put aside his farm work and read four lectures. He
told my mother that if we wanted to learn, we should cultivate to the end, and
that we should not give in no matter how heavy the pressure is. When I got back
from work, my father was reading lecture 8. He said that he could not continue
anymore, that all the characters were fuzzy, and that the whole book was golden
and shining. The last 2 lectures were read to my father by a veteran
practitioner. My father had been smoking and drinking for more than 30 years and
he had never been able to quit. This time, he gave them up within a week, and he
did not even notice it.
My father had raised a pond of fish. It was the end of the Lunar calendar
year --the Chinese New Year [the Chinese calendar is lunar, i.e., based on
the moon's cycle], which was the good season to harvest the fish and sell
them for money. He remembered Master's words, "For practitioners, we have set
the strict requirement that they cannot kill lives." (Zhuan Falun) He
gave up two thousand Yuan worth of fish. At that time, it had been only two
months since he attained the Fa. Once I was dissolving karma, and this serious
illness healed by itself within a week. Folks in my village saw the miracle of
Dafa. Although they did not join to cultivate, over 90% of them understood the
truth about the persecution of Dafa. Some people in charge of the persecution of
Falun Gong heard that someone in this area had learned Falun Gong lately. They
came and gave a villager 400 Yuan and asked him to lead them to find my house.
The villager, who knew the truth, rejected the temptation of money, and
protected us.
We saw the veteran practitioners risking their lives to clarify the truth,
and save the kind people who had been deceived. Though we attained the Fa
somewhat late, we joined Dafa disciples' Fa-rectification immediately. In our
journey of Fa-rectification, I have experienced the miracles of Dafa several
times.
Normally when strangers come into a village, the dogs in the entire village
would bark. I was thinking that I wanted to save the kind villagers. When
tremendous compassion and kind thoughts rose up in my heart, I never worried
about my own safety. Every time, only after we left the village would the dogs
bark a little bit.
Once on a rainy night, six of us went out to distribute flyers. After we came
back, seeing the rain still falling, my father touched his head and was
surprised. He told us that his hair was dry. My wife and I touched our bodies as
well, and found that even our clothes were dry. All of us knew that our mighty
compassionate Master had been watching us all the time. Sometimes, the adhesive
tape on the flyer did not stick well onto the object, and would fall off. In the
dark night, we could see golden light on the ground, and it would surely be our
Dafa material when we picked it up.
Once my wife and I went to a school to distribute flyers to clarify the
truth. The person who saw us told others the next day that he saw an old man
distributing the flyers. At the time, we did not have any bad thought, nor did
we worry about "Will he report us?"
One night, my father, my wife, and I walked over 60 kilometers and
distributed several thousand flyers. Suddenly a police car drove up. We felt
alarmed and bewildered, but soon we calmed down. I knew that my complacency had
been taken advantage of by the evil. I then thought that I was saving people and
that I was following the path of Fa-rectification arranged by Master. I was
doing the most righteous and greatest thing, and the most sacred thing. Mighty
compassionate Master must be watching us! Standing on the street in the late
night, three of us held our palms erect and sent forth righteous thoughts. The
evil that was chasing us drove by.
When we go out to distribute materials that clarify the truth, often we have
6 to 7 people, or even over a dozen people together. If we argue with each
other, then we definitely cannot do it smoothly. We enlightened that, only when
we follow Master's Fa, can we avoid taking the roundabout course. Now we
coordinate and work with each other very well.
There are many miracles in our journey of Fa-rectification. I write these
down hoping to encourage those practitioners who have not yet stepped forward,
to stand up and catch up with Fa-rectification. A new practitioner wants to tell
you, the opportunity of cultivation is hard to get. Please don't miss this
chance that is hard to get in ten thousand years. Please don't fail to live up
to Master's compassion and his tremendous effort in saving us.
