(Clearwisdom.net) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Dafa has displayed many wonders to me, and my joy is beyond words. I used to have glaucoma, even after surgery to remove it. The glaucoma had such a bad impact on my vision that I couldn't see things as big as a chopstick on the floor. My eyeball was shrinking, and the doctor said that I was going blind. I was very sad. Right at that time, I began to practice. A fellow practitioner brought me the book Falun Dafa Fajie. Although the book was in small print and I had difficulty reading it, I thought, "Such a nice book, I must read it with my heart. I will read it even if I go blind by doing so." Suddenly, the font was enlarged, each character was almost one inch by one inch in size, and I had no difficulty reading them at all. I was so excited and determined. I thought that regardless of what difficulty I may have in cultivation practice, I will remember Teacher's words, "When it's difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it's impossible to do, you can do it." (Zhuan Falun)

Eliminating My Human Thoughts and Trying My Best to Validate Dafa

On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the insane persecution of Falun Gong. On July 21, I went with other practitioners to the provincial government to clarify the facts, but the police intercepted us. They kept us in a school with many practitioners. We encouraged each other and feared nothing. At night, when the police officers registered us, we talked to them about the wonderfulness and beauty of Dafa. The next day, I was picked up and taken back to my parents' home. I was told to watch the government's decision on TV at three o'clock in the afternoon. After watching it, I was heartbroken. I could not imagine that the Party and the government could do something so absurd and shameless. My heart was broken after hearing their vicious attacks defaming Teacher and Dafa. I was in a rage and said loudly, "This is defamation; taking quotes out of context." I cried for a long time. Since my younger brother had my mother watch me, I decided to return to my own home to continue to study the Fa and practice the exercises. I told myself, "Such a good practice; I'm determined to continue. I will never give it up, and no one can stop me."

In the summer of 2000, my husband was diagnosed with cancer. I was thinking about him in every aspect, caring for him and being good to him. He saw the improvements in me, both mental and physical. He developed good thoughts toward Dafa, and he was very supportive of me. However, he was too attached to smoking and alcohol to consider practicing himself. Later, he was hospitalized in the Provincial Cancer Hospital, and I went there with him. Without the environment to study the Fa and practice the exercises, I recited Lunyu (in Zhuan Falun), "True Cultivation," "Broad and Immense" (both in Essentials for Further Advancement), and Hong Yin. I clarified the facts about Dafa to his roommates and their family members. I explained that Dafa is good and that the government's decision on Falun Gong was wrong.

My husband was discharged from the hospital after 81 days. Upon arriving home, bad news came: my father was hospitalized after a heart attack. On my way to the hospital, I felt enormous pain in my heart. Upon arriving at the hospital, my daughter told me, "Mom, please go back home to take care of daddy. I will stay here to take care of grandpa for you." My father died three days later. Under such stress, my husband's situation deteriorated, and he died a few days later. My heart ached. I constantly recited "Tempering the Will" from Hong Yin. I told myself, "The evil forces want to ruin me financially and emotionally. No way." Three days after I settled the funerals, I resumed studying the Fa and practicing the exercises.

I had been clarifying the facts to the people in charge at my workplace. So, when the officials from the Municipal Political and Legislative Committee called them and asked about my practice of Falun Gong, they put them off with vague promises.

My child took a job and moved out. I was alone and felt lonesome. I thought, "Isn't this a good opportunity to study the Fa and improve?" So I studied the Fa, day in and day out. This laid a good foundation for future truth-clarification. Under Teacher's merciful protection, I made it through the financial difficulty and overcame all the difficulties caused by sentimentality and loneliness. I have been doing the three things stably and felt complete everyday. I was able to feel the happiness of thinking about others.

Keep up with the Fa-rectification Process and Hurry to Clarify the Facts

After constant Fa study, I teamed up with another practitioner, and together we have been walking our journeys of truth-clarification. We told our coworkers, relatives, and friends about the wonderfulness of Dafa from our personal experiences. We did so regardless of whether it was in the cold of winter or the heat of summer, in wind or during a storm. Many people have learned the truth from us.

When the Epoch Times published the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, I wanted to shy away from persuading people to do the "three withdrawals." I thought, "We have clarified the facts to people door-to-door. Doesn't persuading people to do the three withdrawals mean we have to do it all over again?" Later on, the Minghui editors published the cultivation practice stories of Milerepa, whose master had him build a stone house again and again. I thought, "His master had put a lot of thought into it, indeed. We are practicing cultivation in Dafa. Teacher had undergone numerous hardships in the Fa-rectification. To save more sentient beings, now Teacher is 'Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World' and rectifying the Fa in the human world. How can I treat such a sacred matter with human thoughts?" I suddenly felt that I was far away from Teacher's requirement. I then read the article several times and developed a great compassion for saving sentient beings. I understood that Teacher would not have our efforts wasted.

At a friend's party, a coworker said, "The CCP is so bad. I feel so depressed at my workplace. I want to quit. Please help me quit the party." I took this opportunity and said immediately, "I'll make a name for you and help you quit, so you'll have a bright future." He was very happy. He was the first person I helped quit the Party. At the party there were six to seven coworkers of my late husband who were Party members. They said the CCP was so bad, and they all wanted to quit. So I started with co-workers, classmates, relatives, and friends. I helped 200-300 people quit the Party.

One day last year, a fellow practitioner clarified the facts to a young lady on the bus. The young lady said she wanted to learn the practice and left her phone number. The practitioner asked me if I wanted to go with her to meet the young lady again. I was afraid. I asked her, "You only met her on the bus; what if she's a spy?" The practitioner said, "How can that be?" I let go of fear and went with her to visit the young lady. The young lady and her mother were both home and welcomed us. The young lady is 29 years old and had a tumor in her head. She had spent more than 200,000 Yuan on surgery and had after effects from it. For example, her period would never go away unless she went to the hospital to receive an injection to stop it. My fellow practitioner and I shared our experiences of cultivation in Dafa with them. They were very moved, and they were determined to learn.

On the next day, I went to the young lady's home to teach her the exercises. Her mother, elder sister, and niece were all there and learned the exercises. I told them about the wonderfulness of Dafa and that one had to follow "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and behave accordingly before the illness could be healed. I also told them that Dafa had spread to many countries and become more and more popular, that the CCP used all the media to fabricate lies to justify its persecution of Falun Gong, and about the CCP's crime of harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners while still alive. They all listened very attentively. When I was about to leave, the young lady's niece said, "Please don't go. I want to hear more." I almost cried upon hearing this. My fear had almost cost her entire family's future. A month later, I met the young lady. She said she didn't need to get injections at the hospital anymore. She said Dafa is truly wonderful.

After we had covered our co-workers, classmates, relatives, and friends, we continued clarifying the facts and persuading people to do the three withdrawals when we went shopping. One day, after we helped an older farm woman quit the CCP, she pressed her hands together and said, "Thank you!" There were obstacles as well. When we clarified the facts to one of my fellow practitioner's relatives, he refused to listen and threatened to call the police. We didn't give up on him, but we are trying to find other opportunities to save him.

Through years of cultivation practice, we have introduced Dafa to many people and more than ten people have started practicing cultivation in Dafa. I have come to understand from my personal experience that, as long as we follow Teacher's words and do it with our heart and attention and without pursuing results, then Teacher will bring those with predestined relationships to us.
