(Clearwisdom.net) I am a young practitioner who has practiced Falun Dafa for five years. In those five years, I have experienced Falun Dafa's greatness. The following are some of my experiences.
Before I practiced Falun Dafa
One day when I was younger, my dad, who had just practiced the Falun Gong exercises, asked me to close my eyes and tell him what I saw. I said, "There is a sun is in my forehead!"
Dad often played the music of Pudu and Jishi [Falun Dafa instrumental works]. I often played while enjoying the music at same time. One time I was playing with building blocks and he was listening to Pudu. Suddenly, I saw a rotating wheel (I did not know it was a Falun at that time) in front of my eyes. I was amazed, but I had no idea what it was.
One day, right before I went to sleep, dad was doing the 5th exercise (the sitting meditation). I looked around casually and suddenly noticed golden lights coming from his body. I was a little afraid and didn't dare to say anything. The next morning, dad smiled and told me, "Don't be afraid, it is normal. Practitioners' bodies carry energy." Although I didn't fully understand, I had a sense of his meaning
The beginning of my practice of Falun Gong
At the end of 1999, because of an illness, I started to practice Falun Gong. I only read one paragraph of Zhuan Falun every day. Gradually, I increased my reading from one paragraph a day to one page a day, then one section a day, and eventually I was reading one lecture a day. My dad taught me the exercises. Every day, while I was in school, I could feel the turning Faluns. My whole body was warm and comfortable when I did the exercises. When I read the book, through my Celestial Eye, every word was in the form of a Buddha; even the parts of some words were in the forms of Buddhas. These Buddhas all had different postures, and were very beautiful. One night in a dream, I saw Teacher wearing a golden robe, standing in a lotus flower and smiling at me. I was extremely happy at that moment.
Going to Beijing to validate Fa
After the persecution began, in the summer of 2000 our family decided to go to Beijing to validate the Fa. On July 22, 2000, my mom, dad, and I stood in Tiananmen Square. Like other practitioners, we did the Falun Gong exercises to demonstrate to the people Falun Dafa's solemn greatness. The police arrested us and brought us to the Public Security Bureau, Tiananmen Square Branch. Later, we were detained at the Shuangcheng Liaison Office in Beijing. They eventually escorted us back to Shuangcheng. Once we arrived in Shuangcheng, my parents were thrown into prison, and I had to stay with my grandma temporarily. The night the police took my parents away, I had a dream that my main spirit flew to heaven. It was so wonderful there, with many celestial maidens flying around, scattering a variety of flowers to the earth. At that moment, I conjoined my hands while sitting on a lotus flower. I saw many Buddhas flying toward me. Among them was Teacher. Teacher smiled at me and left. I probably stayed there for several hours, then I felt my body becoming heavy and I gradually descended. Finally I woke from the dream. I thought, "Teacher is encouraging me, I must cultivate diligently."
Reaching the stage of gradual enlightenment
In April 2004, the city of Shuangcheng was in a horrifying state. Police from Harbin City and Shuangcheng City began to search for and arrest practitioners on a large scale, leaving no stone unturned. My dad had been newly released from a one-year term of forced labor for medical treatment. Late in the night on April 19, more than twenty policemen forcefully broke into our home. They took away my parents without any explanation. I was left home alone. In the afternoon of the second day, my parents returned home. My dad was not in a good mood and had a deep fear, but he resolutely kept studying the Fa and had me study with him. It was from that time that I began to gain a deeper understanding of the Fa, learning the difference between individual cultivation and cultivation during the Fa rectification. It was in that period that I reached the stage of gradual enlightenment.
One day around 6 p.m., while sending forth righteous thoughts, I was in a very tranquil state and entered into ding (the state of an empty, yet conscious mind). While I was sending forth righteous thoughts, my celestial eye suddenly opened. I saw a group of evil entities. They had various strange appearances, and each of them looked extremely vicious. I also saw some armored heavenly warriors fighting with the evil beings. I was very excited and kept reciting Master's Fa-rectification verses, "The Fa rectifies the cosmos, the evil is completely eliminated." Soon, many of the evil things were eliminated. I kept reciting, and a golden bowl flew over and held all the evil entities beneath it. After a while, the bowl was lifted, and there was nothing there but some blood, so I finished sending forth righteous thoughts. I saw many scenes that are beyond my ability to describe. Sometimes, I told my parents selectively about the scenes I witnessed. They felt very encouraged and they strengthened their determination in sending forth righteous thoughts.
With continuous Fa study, there was a period in which I could not only see the evil being eliminated, but I also experienced supernormal powers. One day, my friends and I were playing hide and seek at school. A friend of mine walked toward the door I was hiding behind. Just before he would have found me, I quickly shifted aside without thinking. Quite unexpectedly, I passed through the door and found myself on the other side of it. I tried it repeatedly, and my friend was unable to find me.
There were many times when my physical body shifted to different dimensions while I was sending forth righteous thoughts or doing the exercises. One day, around noon, my dad and I were doing the second set of exercises. My dad was standing in front of me. I closed my eyes and felt very good, I could feel the state that Teacher had described, wherein one feels as though he was in an eggshell. When we finished the exercises, my dad turned around and didn't see me. In fact, I had moved to the living room without being aware of it while I was doing the exercises.
Using divine powers
Through studying the Fa, the instructions Teacher gave us about clarifying the truth gradually helped me to understand that I too should take every opportunity to clarify the truth to people.
One night my family and two other practitioners went out to clarify the truth. Aunt Wang walked ahead of us posting truth-clarifying words on the wall, as we sent forth righteous thoughts. I saw with my celestial eye a few vicious ghosts trying to stop Aunt Wang from posting the words. I immediately recited the Fa-rectification verses silently, but the ghosts were seemingly not affected by it at all. I raised one hand and silently said, "Eliminate!" in my heart. A golden light came from my hand, and the ghosts turned into a pile of dust. Finally, the five of us returned home safely.
There was a time when I was distributing flyers in the community. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts to make the electronic gates open for me. Many electronic gates did open as I wanted, so I could easily place the flyers inside. As I was coming out of a residential building, a girl carrying a backpack was passing by. I noticed that the zipper on her backpack was open. I was thinking how wonderful it would be if could put a flyer in her backpack. While I was thinking, a flyer came out of my pocket and flew into the girl's backpack.
The state of those practitioners who are not diligent in cultivation
For a while, my dad was deeply engrossed in learning to use computers and his cultivation state was not very good. He used as an excuse the needs of the Fa-rectification to cover his attachment. For some time, he seldom studied the Fa or did the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts, or clarified the truth. Through my celestial eye, I saw his bodies in other dimensions were deteriorating. Whenever my dad was paying attention to the computer, Teacher's Law Body kept looking at my dad, worried and disappointed. Later, my dad adjusted his cultivation state to the right track, and was diligent every day. When my dad finally used the computer techniques he had learned to make truth clarification materials, Teacher's Law Body smiled at him.
I understand that what I saw was Teacher's encouragement for me and the practitioners around me, so at this final stage of the Fa rectification of the cosmos, I must do well the three things required, be diligent, and really be a young practitioner of the Fa-rectification period.
