(Clearwisdom.net) I began Falun Dafa cultivation in 1999. I understood that Dafa is for cultivating the Buddha and the Tao. It was hard to describe my excitement. I am so fortunate. I will cultivate to the end. I brought this great news to my family, and our entire family began our cultivation paths and immersed ourselves in Master's enormous compassionate Buddha light. Our happiness is beyond words.
Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, my husband and I did not get along. We quarreled every other day and fought every third day, almost to the brink of divorce. After studying the Fa, we began respecting and understanding each other, and helped each other improve. From studying the Fa and doing the exercises, my husband's severe heart disease unknowingly disappeared.
When we were full of happiness and longing for a wonderful future, the evil persecution that darkened the sky and covered up the earth began. Out of jealousy, Jiang's regime began their frenzied oppression and persecution against an entire group of people who believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," and maliciously attacked and insulted Master who provided salvation to all. I was distressed, upset and anxious. What should we do? As a Dafa practitioner, I could not tolerate the evil slandering of Dafa and Master. Fellow practitioners and I went to the local government to clarify the truth. Contrary to our expectation, they not only did not listen to us but detained us and forced us to hand in our Dafa books. I felt that I should never hand in our Dafa books even if they kill me. I hid the books well after I came home and studied them secretly at home.
In 2000, many practitioners went to validate Dafa in Beijing. I felt that I should go too. But at the time the evil was furious, the persecution was unprecedentedly savage. Concerned for the safety of my family, my husband's job and our child's schooling, I had a strong attachment of fear. At the time I could only constantly study the Fa. Finally I was able to let go of life and death, fame, benefit and sentimentality, so I resolutely went to Beijing to validate Dafa.
During my brief stay in Beijing, the local police arrested and held me in the police station. They beat and cursed me. I was not afraid nor did I give in. The weather was extremely cold. I wore only a thin layer of clothes and could not help but shiver in the cold. When I could no longer handle it, I began learning Hong Yin and Zhuan Falun (Lunyu) by heart. I felt warmth all over my body and felt very comfortable. I suddenly realized that Master had never left me, he was beside me all along, and he cared for and protected me in every possible way. Master also helped me come back home smoothly. Whenever I remembered the support and encouragement Master bestowed upon me in Beijing, I could not help shedding tears.
In order to change people's misunderstanding of Dafa, other practitioners and I thought of all sorts of ways to clarify the truth. At the time, our local area was not able to receive Master's recent teachings, truth materials, stickers or posters. I went to other places to get the materials. During the "SARS" outbreak, there were roadblocks everywhere. The first was checking for "SARS," then checking for Dafa practitioners. I sent forth righteous thoughts non-stop and memorized Hong Yin II on the road. I came home safe and sound each time with Master's compassionate protection.
In order to let the world's people understand the truth and be saved, other practitioners and I went to deliver truth pamphlets and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, hang banners and post slogans. One night, another practitioner and I went to a village to post slogans and hang up a banner. We were satisfied with what we had done and planned to leave, when suddenly we saw a policeman running towards us. We were not scared and in unison said, "Hurry, send forth righteous thoughts and immobilize the policeman." The policeman was immobilized and we escaped safely. Many people saw the golden banner that greatly shocked the evil the next morning.
As a result of my sustained effort, all my relatives and friends, and many people in the world have quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated groups. Through my patient and thorough truth clarification, they all know that Falun Dafa is good, however I will not feel complacent and pleased with myself. I am clearly aware that many people still need to be saved, so I cannot slack off even a bit. I will try my best to save more sentient beings during this limited time.
I have limited education and my understanding of the Fa needs improvement. I cannot incisively and vividly express all my thoughts and my gratitude towards Master, but I can certainly say that I have a rock solid belief in Dafa and Master. I will learn the Fa better, look inward whenever a conflict surfaces, elevate my understanding and help Master validate the Fa during the final stage. I will not let Master down.
If there is anything inappropriate, please compassionately point it out.
