"The Memory of That Time Will Remain Forever"
(Clearwisdom.net) Prior to beginning Fa study I was an old person with many
illnesses. I had heard that qigong could cure illnesses, so I was thinking of
giving it a try. I attended Master's lecture in Harbin City on August 5, 1994.
Just two months earlier, my husband had died. I was at the poverty level, with
my son in college and my daughter still in high school. Adding these to my
illnesses, I was pretty depressed. The first time I saw Master I could feel his kindness. Master looked very
tall and wore simple, clean clothes. He had a compassionate smile and was very
amiable, making people feel at ease and respectful. The auditorium was quiet
during the lecture, even though there were thousands of people present. I
listened very carefully. I had never heard the universal law taught like Master
taught it, but it was very easy to understand. The whole lecture passed quickly,
just like a second. Master spoke very precisely and carefully. Once in a while
he would ask the students whether or not they understood. When he taught the
exercises he walked around the lecture hall, smiling and waving to students. We went earlier each day to wait for Master. We stood in two lines to welcome
him. He took students' written questions and answered them before the lecture.
The lecture was held in a gymnasium that was still under construction. The
blocks, tile, and sand were all over the floor. Master didn't mind the poor
conditions; he only thought about saving sentient beings. The last day, Master gave the lecture with gong. There were many people, but
the lecture hall was very quiet. In the middle of the lecture Master started to
cure students' illnesses. He told us to think of the illness we had or the
illnesses that our relatives had. He asked us to put out our hands and stomp our
right foot. We did that together, and then we stomped our left foot together. I
thought of my sciatica and my son's lumbago. After the eight lectures, many of
my illnesses were cured. After I went back home I asked my son, "Does your
back still hurt?" He said he didn't feel any pain any more. I told him that
Master had cured his illness. He said he appreciated Master a lot. I was so happy those days. I cannot express it in words. Though 12 years have
gone by, the scenes from that time are still clear in my memory. Master's kind
face is imprinted in my heart and mind forever. "The Memory of That Time Will Remain Forever" By a practitioner from Anhui Province Because of the CCP's mind-poisoning propaganda and their proliferation of
atheism I did not believe in the existence of gods or Buddha. On the other hand
I felt compassion and sympathy for the monks and Daos who "wasted"
their golden lives on cultivation. However, I didn't understand why there were
always successors in cultivation for thousands of years from home to abroad. At
the height of the Chinese qigong craze I found the
miracle of qigong by chance. At the end of 1992 one of my friends brought me a
qigong magazine; on its cover was a picture of a qigong master sitting
cross-legged. I looked at the picture. Suddenly I felt strong energy flowing
from my arm into my body. After I read the article I realized that the qigong
master was Master Li. I understood that Falun Gong was not only for having good
health but also for strengthening one's cultivation. In March 1994, with the weather becoming warmer, unexpected good news came:
Master would give a second lecture in Hefei City, Anhui Province, on April 15,
1994. It was just like the saying "Pursue nothing and it will come to you
without putting in any effort." Master brought the Fa to my door and put it
before me. The lecture was held in the auditorium of the provincial Party school. My
seat was in row 13. I could see and hear very clearly. From beginning to end I
paid constant attention to the lecture, afraid to miss anything. Master's kind
face and strong stature and his geniality and friendliness made me feel very
warm and secure. At that time I was dealing with an issue at work where I was being treated
unjustly. It worried and concerned me a lot. I always worried that it would
affect my learning the exercises. Master said that, when the tests come, just
see if you can control your xinxing. I felt that Master was
talking to me directly. So I thought, "Since I have started my cultivation,
I will listen to Master no matter what the issue." In my heart I was
wondering how Master knew about it so clearly. He knew what was in my mind. In
the lecture, he said that some people in the audience were chosen by him. He
said those words three times. The next day I saw Master's Law body. I felt
Master was really divine. Every day, Master came very early. Students would gather around him and ask
many questions. That day I didn't know what I should ask, so I just followed
Master around. His compassion and tolerance gave everybody one more teaching
from his own example. The last day of the class, students were sharing their experiences. One
student was a doctor. She said that, before learning Dafa, she had used other
exercise methods to cure illness for others. Later she herself developed many
illnesses. She was afraid that others knew she had illnesses, so she went to the
headquarters of that exercise method to ask to be cured. But the result was that
she became even worse. She thought her situation was hopeless, so she told her
family members not to let her work place know her situation and to send her back
to her hometown when she was going to die. After she attended all Master Li's
lectures, her body was purified, and she could walk with ease. She thanked
Master for saving her. She cried the whole time she was sharing her experience. On the day that Master took pictures with students, one of the students asked
us to take a picture of her with Master. I wondered how many people in this
group of one thousand five hundred had this wish. How could Master do that for
everyone? Without thinking I said, "Does Master agree?" When we went
to Master, he smiled and agreed to the students' requests. By that time there
were many new practitioners, and their xinxing levels were still not much
different from ordinary people. Two students even fought with each other to get
their picture taken with Master. Master looked at the one student on his right
and then looked at the other student to his left with a smile on his face.
Master was gracious and respectable. In my heart I felt that Master was just
like a senior member of my family. At the end of the teaching, everybody was reluctant to leave. The applause
was like thunder--as one crescendo faded, another rose. Master stood up and made
a set of big hand signs for us. Since I became a practitioner, I have diligently studied the Fa and been
strict with myself. On July 20, 1999, the Party began to libel Master; the
deceit was totally unacceptable. I refused to listen or to watch. I followed
Master's words using my wisdom to do the three things rationally.
Under Master's care I avoided many different forms of persecution. Many
supernatural things happened, but I also experienced the difficulties of
cultivation. Without Master's protection it would be hard to cultivate even for
a second. We have been admired by all the beings in the whole universe. The memory of
that time will remain forever. Master rebuilt our new lives. From now on I will
continue to do the three things well, walking with confidence the last leg of my
journey as Master expects.
