(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in July 1997. By studying the Fa repeatedly, I came to understand Master's teaching in "True Cultivation":

"Whether you can let go of ordinary human attachments is a fatal test on your way to becoming a truly extraordinary being. Every disciple who truly cultivates must pass it, for it is the dividing line between a cultivator and an everyday person." (Essentials for Further Advancement)

I would like to share the following three stories with fellow practitioners.

Dafa Saved My Life

In August 1998, a ten-pound piece of iron fell from about twelve feet above and bounced off my head during work. At the time, I thought that one of my co-workers was joking with me by slapping my head. But when I asked them, they looked at me in surprise. Then they picked up the piece of iron and gave it to me. That's when I understood. They asked me if my head was injured and if I wanted to go to the hospital to have it checked. I said: "I am practicing Falun Gong. I will not have a problem." I let them see my head. There was no problem. The story quickly spread in the factory, and many people asked me about it. They all felt that Falun Dafa is miraculous and incredible.

Supernatural Powers Come Out When Validating the Fa

On Chinese New Year's Eve in 2003, there was no moon. I went out to post Falun Dafa messages with only the light reflected off the snow. I wanted to write the best characters I could to save sentient beings. I sent forth righteous thoughts while I walked. I felt that I was walking fast and that I was calm. I hoped that sentient beings would quickly learn the truth about Falun Dafa. Because it was my first time posting Dafa messages, I thought that the characters I wrote should be written well, even if it meant that I could only write a few. I wrote many characters, some only about four inches and some about three feet tall. All the characters glimmered in the night. To my surprise, I wrote beautiful characters using 7 or 8 different styles, even though I only had a middle school education and had not practiced writing for many years. I painted messages in over 20 places with extraordinary skill, and I was surprised by the miraculous result.

After I returned home, I studied the Fa some more and my understanding improved again. I realized that as long as we validate the Fa and save sentient beings, Master will protect us. When we clarify the truth with righteous thoughts and without human notions, our Fa-validation is magnificient.

Eliminating Attachments

In order to save sentient beings, I set up a truth clarification materials production site at home. I didn't know anything about modern technology. I began making simple truth-clarification materials with help from fellow practitioners, but there was always some kind of error and I could not understand why.

After I shared my experience with other practitioners, I looked inward and found many attachments. I realized that I must use a pure heart to save people, have a down-to-earth attitude and spend more time studying the Fa, understanding things from the Fa, and sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate impure factors in my own space. I must use a god's attitude to validate the Fa and be benevolent to sentient beings. We know how gods solve problems. Gods use benevolence to educate sentient beings and solve problems.

Looking back, I found that I was anxious and impatient, or that I made up execuses when finding problems in making truth-clarification materials. Now, I understand the Fa better and I look within whenever I have problems. I have a peaceful attitude towards conflict.

I welcome fellow practitioners' comments.
