Under Teacher's Compassionate Protection a Young Practitioner Comes Through Five Rough Years By a young practitioner in Jilin City
(Clearwisdom.net) Greetings to Master and fellow practitioners: I am a young practitioner from Jilin City. I have been practicing Falun Dafa
for six years. Before I started practicing I was diagnosed with congenital heart
disease. We spent a lot of money on treatment but to no avail. Every time I had
a heart attack the sweat would soak my hair as if I had dipped it in water. It
would frighten my family members. The doctor said that with this disease I
shouldn't get angry. So everyone in my household would listen to what I needed
and let me have everything my way. Also, I couldn't engage in any stressful
activities. Since I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998, my heart disease has gotten
better. I remember once I was undergoing an elimination of karma, and I had a
fever of 102.2 F. I was mumbling incoherently, but my mother sat by my side and
read Zhuan Falun to me. By the next morning I had recovered. I knew that
Teacher was taking care of me and cleansing my body for me. I would get up
around 5 a.m. in the morning every day and practice the exercises with my
mother. Then, after the persecution started on July 20, 1999, my mother went to
Beijing with my grandmother and my aunt to appeal for Falun Gong. My mother was
arrested and detained. My father let me stay with my neighbor because he was too
busy at work. I missed my mother and often felt like crying. But when I
remembered that I was a practitioner and that Teacher takes care of me, I would
feel better. After my mother was released she went to the riverside in Jilin
City to promote Dafa and demonstrate the exercises, and was detained again. They
sent her directly from the detention center to a labor camp. My great
grandmother on my mother's side became sick with worry over my mother, my
grandfather and my aunt. Only my other grandmother was at home taking care of me
and my cousins since both of my cousins' mothers were detained as well. She also
had to take care of my great grandmother. My great grandmother passed away few
days after my mother and grandfather returned home. Since July 20, 1999, the police have come to my grandmother's house and our
house to harass us. The police have disturbed the neighbors repeatedly. I wanted
to let those people, who have been blinded by the lies, understand the truth of
Falun Gong and to remember that "Falun Gong is wonderful," so I started writing
letters. I told them about how my health has been transformed since I started
practicing Falun Gong and that Teacher has given me a new life. I wanted to stop
them from believing the lies that defame Falun Gong and to know that Falun Dafa
is a righteous principle. Sometimes I would walk a few kilometers with my mother
and go house to house to give out flyers. It didn't feel cold during the winter
or hot during the summer; we only thought of bringing salvation to the sentient
beings. Over the last few years, I sometimes haven't done well during tribulations.
Then I would feel regretful and vow to do better next time. Under Teacher's
compassionate protection I have come through these last five rough years. From
now on I will become even more diligent, do what a practitioner must do, and do
it better. Posting date: 7/30/2004 |
