(Clearwisdom.net) I am 70 years old. Since beginning my Dafa cultivation in 1996, I've witnessed many miracles. Although I did not think much about them at the time they occurred, as time passes, I have gained a deeper understanding about them. I would like to write about these events, but for lack of higher education, only the easier ones to write about are compiled here to validate Dafa. May these stories inspire practitioners who are not diligent in their cultivation so that they may gain a firmer belief in Dafa and catch up with the Fa-rectification progress.
After the evil persecution started on July 20, 1999, the copy store I owned was monitored by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). At that time, truth-clarifying material distribution sites had not been established and it was quite difficult to obtain Dafa materials. While working to produce more copies of Dafa materials, I often forgot about the dangerous situation I was in. One time I was busy copying truth-clarifying materials, when suddenly something knocked at the skylight rapidly as if birds were slapping against the window with their wings. The sound came suddenly, so I was immediately alerted and quickly turned off the machine and hid the papers on the table that were being assembled. In less than two minutes, two policemen stormed in. They searched my home, but nothing was to be found, and they left in dismay. I knew that it was Master giving me a hint. He sent the birds to deliver the warning, and a huge loss was thus avoided. How amazing it was!
Not long after this incident, the copy machine malfunctioned. It could not be fixed, even by the repairman. I was at my wit's end and talked to myself while gently stroking the machine, "The evil is rampant and sentient beings are being deceived. How could we delay the mission of clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings?" I was getting more and more anxious when a customer stepped in. I apologized about the machine and suggested that he seek service elsewhere. To my surprise, the customer did not want to leave and insisted on trying to fix the machine. I kept explaining to him that the machine was broken and not yet repaired, but he still wanted to turn it on. Just as I was getting impatient, suddenly I enlightened to the situation and turned the machine on. As soon as it was powered up, the copy machine started functioning normally. I was utterly surprised, but this showed me that when a problem arises, as a cultivator, if one's mind and heart are aligned with Dafa and one can maintain righteous thoughts, surprising results await us.
Later, when the lease contract for that machine ended, I purchased a smaller copy machine and other related equipment for making Dafa materials and set up a materials distribution site at home. Because I was being monitored, the police tried several times to break into my house with a master key, but to no avail. For security purposes, I placed the copy machine in a spot that was easy to overlook, only there is not much room around it. One summer, as I was copying truth-clarifying materials, the copy machine suddenly quit working. I tried to give it some rest and let it cool down a little, but it would not resume working no matter what I did. Nothing else could be done, so I spoke to it, "Okay, so you want to fight for your labor protection rights. I will bring you to a bigger room to get some cool air." Having said that, I moved the machine to the center of the room, and it immediately started working.
After the copy machine was used for a long time, stains and dirt accumulated. I felt sorry for it and talked to it as if to my children, "You have worked so hard. After this batch is finished, I will give you a bath to clean up." Although I gave my word, when new materials arrived, I started copying them right away and completely forgot about my promise. When I turned the machine on again, it had no signs of life. I became worried and thought about what might be wrong with my xinxing? All of a sudden, I remembered my promise. How could a cultivator break his own promise? I immediately cleaned the machine up thoroughly. When I powered it up again, it was so happy that I could even feel its joy through the humming and turning of the parts. As cultivators, we should not only treat our tools with care, but also should stick to our word, because in other dimensions, these objects are all living beings.
There is a saying that "God exists to those who believe in him." Anything miraculous can happen when a Dafa practitioner holds righteous thoughts and actions. Last year, one of my molar teeth loosened up. The pain was unbearable and my cheek was swollen as well. It looked as if this tooth was about to fall out. I thought that maybe I should have it pulled before it got worse so that I could bypass the suffering, and I made an appointment with a dentist. That day as I was leaving for the clinic, a thought flashed across my mind, "I have practiced Dafa for more than ten years and have not taken a single pill in all that time. Didn't all of my illnesses go away already? How could a Dafa practitioner place himself under the care of an ordinary person?" I decided not to go to the dentist. That evening I had a dream. In the dream, a person asked me to open my mouth and bite into an object (it was soft and thin like a sheet of Tofu skin). I replied that it was not possible because my tooth ached so badly that I could not eat anything. It was so painful that my heart would ache when the tooth even touched food. However, that person insisted on having me bite into it and said, "It's not painful at all. You will be well when you bite into it." In a delirious state, I bit the object and for sure there was no pain at all. The next day, my cheek returned to normal, the tooth no longer ached, and I could eat as usual. Now more than a year has passed and the tooth is still there.
I know that it was Master who helped me again. As a practitioner, I deeply appreciate Master and will continue my cultivation diligently, following my path to assist Master with Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings, until I reach consummation.
