I Began to Cultivate in Dafa with a Compassionate Hint from Teacher
By Meixue, a new Dafa practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) One morning in the winter of 2004, after I woke up, I
opened the gate to enter my yard as usual. It was at this moment that I found a
plastic bag with some booklets inside. My husband picked it up and brought it in
the house. After reading them through, he said to me, "These are some Falun
Gong booklets and flyers. Just read them." Following his words, my son
started to read them. I said mindlessly, "Yeah, read them, but burn them
after you are finished reading them so as not to cause troubles." Right
after I said these words I was attacked by a dizzy spell, and was unable to
stand without losing my balance. I tried not to fall down, and supported myself
against the bed. My son then supported me so that I could lie down on the bed. I closed my eyes slightly and heard a compassionate voice say, "You
should not burn them! They are treasures." At these words, I immediately
regained my consciousness and stood up as if nothing had happened. For the whole morning I thought, "Why did this happen? I have been a
person of kindness all my life, but why did such simple words cause such a
dramatic reaction in me?" That night, my son brought up what had happened
in the morning. He said to me, "Mother, do you know why this happened like
that in the morning?" I said, "Yes, I also would like to know
why." He said, "I have been thinking about one thing. What we read
this morning were some Falun Gong truth-clarification materials.
This year is the fifth year of the persecution of Falun Gong and I am wondering
why this group of people refuses to give up their belief in 'Truthfulness,
Compassion, Forbearance' even under such extreme pressure. There has to be
something profound in Falun Gong, otherwise how can it be possible that so many
people practice Falun Gong? " I said, "Yes, I have been wondering
about this too. Maybe we can go to ask your aunt (my sister, who practices Falun
Gong). We may learn something from her." After the Chinese New Year, my mind was agitated. I was always unwilling to
leave home, but all I wanted to do was to go to my sister's home to stay for
several days. I finally went to my sister's home in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei
Province. Right after I arrived there, the first thing I saw was the book,
Zhuan Falun on the desk. Upon opening the first page I saw
the image of Teacher. I felt that I was familiar with him and was very happy to
see him. I then went on to read the book and thought to myself, "Wow, it is
so profound! Every word is drawing me in." When my sister came back home, with a red face, I told her why I was there
and what had happened to me. I blamed myself for my ignorance. The truth
clarification materials are made by Dafa practitioners with their personal
savings and are distributed at the risk of their lives to clarify the truth of
Falun Gong and to save sentient beings. How could I say that I would burn them?
They are so important to those who read them. I searched my mind and found that
I had been very selfish and fearful on this matter. It was actually a
manifestation of the strong impact of the party culture of the Chinese Communist
Party on me, which led to my false mentality. However, luckily Teacher hinted to
me right at that point and woke me up from delusion. My sister said to me:
"Great! Now is the time for you to cultivate in Dafa." I brought the
book Zhuan Falun home and started to cultivate. Compassionate Teacher is unwilling to abandon even a single person who has a
predestined relationship with Dafa. Teacher, please do not worry, I know very
well the profound meaning of being a Dafa practitioner in the period of Fa-rectification.
It is the responsibility and obligation of a Dafa practitioner to do well the
three things. I will return to my original home with Teacher. Thank you, Teacher, for your compassionate salvation.
