When a Practitioner Is Diligent, Miracles Can Occur
(Clearwisdom.net) This story is about how an 84-year-old practitioner
from Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, became more diligent in her
cultivation. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong, this
elderly practitioner felt very old and weak. Although a practitioner should do
the three things, she only studied the Fa. Moreover she
only listened to Teacher's lectures in bed every day rather than reading them
from the book. In order to relieve her worries, her children found a Dafa
practitioner to look after her and help take care of her daily needs. The younger practitioner told the older one that she had to take Fa study
more seriously and do it more carefully: she should at least sit up while
listening to Teacher's lectures. She also told the elderly practitioner that she
should send righteous thoughts four times each day at the same times as
practitioners around the world were doing it--so she did. The elderly
practitioner went to bed early every day, so the practitioner woke her up before
midnight and they sent forth righteous thoughts together. The younger
practitioner encouraged the older one to persuade her relatives and friends to
withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The elderly practitioner
did this, and also became more and more diligent. One day the younger practitioner noticed that someone had underlined the text
in the elderly practitioner's Dafa book. She knew that those lines had been
drawn many years ago by the former owner of the book. Every time they opened the
book they saw lines under Teacher's words on almost every page. It was very hard
to remove the lines so they decided they should buy another book. However, they
noticed that every day the lines became fainter and, within seven days, the
lines disappeared altogether. It was really a miracle! The elderly practitioner
then felt Teacher's mercy. She became determined to do the three things well and
to be one of Teacher's genuine disciples. Showing Gratitude after Receiving Truth Clarification Materials One evening, two days before the Chinese New Year, I distributed some
truth clarification materials in public. I walked up to a big iron
gate and inserted a bag of truth-clarification materials through the bars. The materials that I distributed to people were packaged in nice-looking
bags, so the majority of people accepted them gladly. As I walked away to
continue distributing more materials I suddenly heard a woman's voice from
behind the gate saying, "Thank you! Thank you!" When I turned and
looked, I saw a lady open the gate with the bag of truth clarification materials
in her hand. I understood that people really are waiting to be saved. April 20, 2008
