Nine-year-old Disciple: Our Effort Will Be Smooth If We Make Our Hearts Righteous
By a nine year-old Taiwanese Practitioner in Hualian 8/31/2003
(Clearwisdom.net)
Greetings dear Teacher, greetings fellow practitioners--I am Zhang Yuxin and
I am nine years old. I have been practicing Falun Gong since 1998.
When I first obtained the Fa, I was still in the middle class in
kindergarten. I did not recognize many characters so my mom helped me to read
character by character. After we went through Zhuan Falun for the first
time, I was able to read the book by myself. I could also do the meditation for
one hour in the full lotus position without feeling any pain. After only half a
year I could do the full two-hour exercise everyday. Now, I read one or two
lectures of Zhuan Falun and other lectures by Teacher each day.
At the beginning I had some fear about telling the truth, so I only wrote
addresses on envelopes. Then I got involved with a simple Internet chat room.
Now I am doing more and more. Even my five-year-old brother knows how to help.
Once I saw my mom clarifying the truth over the phone. I wanted to do it but
felt a bit scared. I thought to myself that I should at least give it a try.
Since I am a Dafa practitioner I should not be affected by the attachment of
fear. Thus, I told my mom I wanted to clarify the truth over the phone. My mom
was very happy for me and gave me a sheet of reference material about calling
China. That was how I got started. The first time I was tense when someone
answered the phone and I started talking. I remained tense even though the other
side listened to me until I finished. Most people listened to me. In fact, if we
make our heart righteous, everything will turn out O.K.
When I was in the 2nd grade, one of my classmates suddenly said,
"Falun Dafa, Zhen-Shan-Ren, Free Exercise Teaching Class." I asked him
how he knew about that and he told me he saw it on a Dafa picture board. After I
went home that day I asked mom to give me a bunch of Dafa materials and
bookmarks to give to my classmates. I also gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun.
Finally he indicated that he would like to learn Dafa too! After that, I sent
truth clarifying newspapers, information packets, bookmarks, and copies of Zhuan
Falun to my teachers and classmates at school. During a spring field trip,
our bus passed Dafa picture boards along the road. Many classmates called out,
"Falun Dafa is great!"
Once there was a question in our summer school homework. It said, if you have
a guest, how would you entertain them? I wrote in my homework that I would
introduce Falun Dafa to my guest. I ended up receiving a good grade because I
did the homework well.
There were people who believed me when I told them the truth. There were also
those who did not believe me. But at times, some of them would change their mind
after listening to me.
I diligently keep up on my Fa study, exercises, and on sending forth
righteous thoughts. I must do everything well regardless of my situation!
Thank you fellow practitioners.
