Written by a Dafa Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) During New Year's Day of 2003, I told one of my co-workers about the changes that I have experienced after beginning cultivation and clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to her. I could not tell whether she had understood what I had said.

About six months later, she came to me unexpectedly and said that she had no other place to turn but to Falun Dafa for help. She had almost mentally collapsed and did not even want to live. She wanted to learn the exercises from me. I was certainly very happy to help her and lent her my only copy of Zhuan Falun, and urged her to read it from the beginning to the end. Since then, we meet with each other frequently. She always joyfully shares with me many of the positive changes in herself as well as the tests she has encountered.

She used to feel that her husband did not treat her well and so she was severely depressed. She felt that she could not live any longer. For the sake of her children, she knew that she must do something to help herself, yet she no longer had the strength. In her desperation, she remembered Falun Dafa. Prior to this, she witnessed a miraculous situation where another one of our co-workers began practicing Falun Dafa and then fully recovered from serious necrosis of his feet that was caused by diabetes.

Within a short period of time, she had read Zhuan Falun three times. Then she started to read Essentials for Further Advancement and Lectures in the United States. She can "Hold the Wheel" (Falun Dafa's 2^nd exercise, a standing meditation) for up to 30 minutes and do the sitting meditation for 25 minutes. Her headaches are getting better and her cold hands and feet are becoming warmer. She realized that her health had been poor because her character ("xinxing", mind/nature) was not good enough. After practicing cultivation for a while, she can enlighten from amidst trivial things from the perspective of the principles of Falun Dafa and is able to discover her own attachments.

She told me that all of the sudden she understands many things she had been confused about before practicing. On the day the television stations in China fabricated a story which claimed that a so-called "practitioner" had poisoned the food supply, she could not help but to laugh at it. She does not think that anyone who has read the Falun Gong books would ever do such a thing and also thinks that those who have read the Falun Gong books will never believe that such behavior could belong to a Dafa practitioner. Before she decided to practice Falun Gong, she once told her 7-8 year old child that she would practice Falun Gong to find out if he would approve of it or not. Her child told her that he would kill her if she did. Obviously, the lies spread by the media in China had misled the child deeply. The lies spread by Jiang's regime have created a lot of hatred which has poisoned many children.

I told her that she should correct her child's misunderstandings and let him know the truth so as to escape the lies and so that he is no longer deceived. After she read the book Zhuan Falun, she told her child how good Falun Dafa is and about the health benefits that she received from practicing it. She explained that Falun Dafa is nothing like what is portrayed on television. The child finally knows the truth and strongly supports her practicing. From this, we should realize how crucial it is to save the innocent children!
