My Recollection of the Days When I Obtained the Fa in Wuhan City
(Clearwisdom.net) In the early 1990's when Qigong reached its peak of
popularity in China, I was in college in Wuhan. I often heard about supernatural
phenomena in relation to Qigong. I was very curious and wanted to learn more so
that I could attain some kind of supernatural power. Later, when a "Qigong master" came to my college, I attended his
class. There were several dozen people there. He briefly introduced his method
of Qigong and taught us some movements. I had many questions to ask, however he
seemed not very enthusiastic about answering my questions. Not being able to get
answers to my questions, I was depressed and thought that I might need to spend
more money so that another "Qigong master" could teach me more stuff. At that time, many Qigong classes required several sessions and the teachers
demanded lots of money. Students like us could not afford them. Therefore, my
first experience with a "Qigong class" ended there. In retrospect, the
purpose of many so-called "Qigong masters" at that time was to make
money. Although they might have some small supernormal capabilities, they did
not know the real mechanisms. Therefore, in regard to the many questions I
raised, it was not that they did not want to answer, but rather they could not
answer. One Saturday in March 1993, my classmates turned on the radio. When I
returned from the washroom, I found several of them listening to the radio. I
went up close so that I could hear as well. A radio station in Wuhan had invited
the founder of Falun Gong to introduce Falun Gong to the public. I was
immediately deeply attracted to the profound principles and miraculous effects.
I only had one feeling- that it was so marvelous! The program invited listeners
to call in with questions and the Master would answer them right away. Some
people called to ask whether the Master could rectify their bodies over the
telephone. Almost all the callers that followed asked Master to cure their
diseases. Out of curiosity, I wanted to attend Master Li Hongzhi's class. His class was
held in Hankou and my college was in Wuchang. It was a long distance. I was a
little hesitant as to whether I should go. The class had been held for two days
already. I still could not make up my mind. The next day, a mysterious power
urged me to go, so I went with three other classmates. When we got there, they
all hesitated and left. They later decided to attend the next day, but only I
stayed that day. As soon as I started the class, many of my questions regarding Qigong and
life in general were answered. Although I missed the first two classes, I truly
knew how to be a good person after attending the remaining classes. I looked
forward to the class every day. To get to the class, I needed to take a bus to the Yangtze River ferry. I
took the ferry and then again took another bus to the site. We always cheated
and did not buy bus or ferry tickets. After taking two classes, I felt that we
should no longer do that. However, my classmates did not realize it. I therefore
bought tickets for all of us. With every class I attended, I felt that my heart was changing. Gradually, I
came to understand what "cultivation" is. During the classes, I truly
felt a spinning Falun. There were two days when Teacher cleansed my body. I felt
pain in my abdomen. When it was hard to endure the pain, I sat down with my legs
double-crossed and my hands conjoined. The pain would stop, but it would resume
if I were not in this position. This lasted only for two days. When I first
started practicing the exercises, one time I was practicing the second exercise
and felt a hot stream from head to my feet. It felt very comfortable. I remember that one girl said she had been diagnosed with leukemia with no
hope of treatment. After attending Teacher's classes, she was completely cured.
Her parents were so grateful that they presented Teacher with a flag of grateful
words. Another woman I met explained how she had been to many other Qigong
classes before. Her Tianmu (celestial eye) could see some supernormal things.
She told me that although she had been in many Qigong classes, only Master Li
could explain the principles thoroughly and clearly. Therefore, she made up her
mind to give up all her other practices and to focus on Falun Gong. During breaks, Master always patiently answered questions. Sometimes Master
was next to the podium and many practitioners surrounded him and asked him
questions. He would answer them one by one. I always stood on the side and
listened. I came in late to the class and did not know how to do the hand
gestures. One time I asked Master how to make "Lotus Palm." Teacher
showed me hand by hand. In retrospect, I was a truly lucky and happy person. I
always remember that scene as if it had happened only yesterday. For me, all these great memories encouraged me to be diligent. I will do the
three things well and will be worth Teacher's compassionate salvation. Posting date: 8/4/2007 |
