By a new practitioner in Mainland China

On August 23^rd, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) In 2001, when I was about to graduate from school, I apprenticed at a state-run enterprise. On my last day there--I remember very clearly it was April 23^rd--as I was packing up, my trainer asked if I could do one more thing --- keep an eye on a person. It turned out that there were several Falun Dafa practitioners at the workplace; the party committee and security department were afraid that they might go to Beijing to appeal, so they held them at the factory and attempted to force them to write pledges. At the time, I had yet to come across Dafa, but I knew that it was illegal to forcibly detain a person without legitimate grounds. My trainer said to me before taking off: "The party committee director said: 'Per instructions from above, she is not to leave the factory even if she writes the pledges, lest she stir up trouble in Beijing.'" I was then left alone with the practitioner. I was a little afraid, as I didn't know how the practitioner, Ms Zhang, would treat me. Ms Zhang came over to talk to me, and we ended up talking for the whole evening.

I worried about her situation, but whenever I broached the subject, she always reassured me with a sincere smile. She related about how she obtained the Fa, the purpose of life as a human being, how Dafa changed her life, why she believed in Dafa, and why she took "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" as her guiding principle to live by. I saw on her face a kind of tender, maternal kindness and a quiet dignity, and even though I didn't quite understand, I was deeply touched and moved by her. I asked: "Is Falun Gong really that good?" She took out the book Zhuan Falun from her bag and said: "Young man, you are a predestined person. It is not me but my Teacher who wants me to give you this book. You must treasure it, and cherish this precious chance of once in tens of thousands of years! Although the media is spreading all kinds of lies, you must read this book, as it has what you want. Put the book away for now and read it when you are alone."

Thus, I acquired the most precious book, and after I finished reading Zhuan Falun in one sitting, I knew that it was what I had been looking for. Many of the problems that had been puzzling me in my mind were suddenly made so clear! At the same time, I thought of the darkness, the many lies and crimes in society, and if people were able to read the book Zhuan Falun and conduct themselves by the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance," it would be truly wonderful! Yet the evil is madly persecuting Dafa. My only regret is that I have heard no news about Ms. Zhang since that day. When I think about it now, I realize how precious the book must have been to her! No matter what, this book will always be my most precious possession. It is the predestined relationship and Master Li's compassion that gave an ignorant lad like me, at a time when the evil was running wild, the chance to come across Dafa and begin my cultivation. This book, Zhuan Falun, has been guiding me forward in my cultivation.

Later on I applied myself to learn about computers and the Internet, and broke through the Internet blockade to access Clearwisdom.net. Since then, the articles on Clearwisdom have helped me greatly in studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts, keeping up with the pace of Fa-rectification, and affirming my belief in Dafa. At the same time, they also helped me to understand and realize the extent and severity of the evil's suppression and persecution of Dafa and Dafa practitioners, the contrast between the false, vicious and ugly things in society and the truthfulness, compassion and tolerance of Dafa practitioners, and the importance of clarifying the truth to people!
