(Clearwisdom.net) Since I began practicing Falun Dafa, I have experienced many miraculous phenomena of the Buddha Law. To validate Dafa, I am writing them down to share with fellow practitioners.
Others introduced me to Dafa cultivation. Originally I regarded all cultivation ways as superstitious. I thought that, as a human being, as long as my mind was righteous, nothing bad would happen, and therefore I did not practice even when everyone else did.
During the summer vacation of 1994, a friend of mine was infected with a pox that spread over her mouth, eyes, skin and internal organs. She swelled frighteningly. She had a high fever and diarrhea. I was with her during that time. Amazingly, as soon as she started to practice Falun Gong, the pox on her body disappeared, and her skin became fair with a rosy glow to it . One day I said, "I would like to try the exercises with you." The strange thing was that as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt the Falun revolving.
Out of curiosity, I attended the exercise classes. The class was held in a business conference room. Ms. Qu placed Teacher's picture in front of us. As long as I stood in front of Teacher's picture, my right hand would slowly lift and extend towards Teacher. Just as babies do when they first start to walk, they extend a hand to let their parents lead them. No matter how hard I tried to control it, my hand still continued to go in that direction. Many people thought it was amazing. On the first day of exercise, when I followed the wonderful music, closed my eyes and did the meditation, it seemed as if someone was reading a poem in my mind repeatedly: "This tune should only exist in heaven; it will not stay in the human world very long." This situation lasted for about two months. When I asked the others whether they heard anything, they all replied that they didn't. I reached tranquility on the first day of meditation, and a wonderful world immediately appeared before my eyes. There were many graceful Taos and compassionate Buddhas. There were also mountains, holy waters, and rare and beautiful plants, too beautiful to behold. I continued to do the exercises day after day, out of both curiosity and the desire to experience this wonderful world. I then began to follow Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance in my daily life.
Subsequently, the tribulations came. A university graduate in our department started to have conflicts with me and spread lies about me. No matter what I did she was always unhappy and angry at me for no reason. It got to the point where even when I was doing the exercises, she would become angry and begin to cry. This allowed everybody to see our conflict and try to help us reconcile our differences. But I did not have a clue why this was happening. At the time I could barely endure it, but she was over eight months pregnant and so it wasn't a good time for me to argue with her. Although it was very difficult to forbear, I still had to! One day when I was doing the Falun Standing Stance, I recalled this grievance of the last few days and couldn't help but cry. I thought that I could not endure it any longer even if I lost all my gong. At that instant the coordinator came to correct my position and smiled at me, saying, "Can't you endure it? A practitioner has to endure." My mind started to calm down, and immediately the Maitreya Buddha appeared in front of me. Maitreya was sitting halfway up a very tall mountain. His upper body was as tall as the mountain and he was looking at me and smiling. I knew He was laughing at me and I felt very ashamed. If I couldn't even tolerate this much, how could I cultivate myself to a high level? I was able to settle down, and under the Buddha's guidance I was able to get through this tribulation. On the ninth day of the Falun Dafa class, I saw very clearly that a golden yellow Falun flew into my lower abdomen. Later I saw the only copy of Falun Gong (Revised edition) at our exercise site and read through the entire book without going home or eating lunch. I was happy and surprised to find such a good, moral, and focused practice in the world. It was exactly what I had been looking for. Although at that time I did not understand anything about cultivation, I had heard my grandmother say that a person had to do good deeds to accumulate virtue, and that good would be rewarded with good, and evil with evil. I started to seriously practice Falun Gong. At the end of 1994, I was very fortunate to have been able to participate in Teacher's last Guangzhou lecture and saw our compassionate Teacher. From that time, I followed Teacher and stepped on to the most significant path of returning to one's true origin.
In the spring of 1998, the Water Resource Bureau mechanical team leader told my husband that they were planning to move. They still had a lot of engine beds for sale and they would let him buy them. At that time my husband needed engine beds, so he borrowed a great deal of money and took an early withdrawal on our certificate of deposit (at that time the rate was very high). We collected between 70,000 and 80,000 yuan and bought the engine beds. The cash had been paid; the receipt had been written; and we had also rented several trucks and hired many people to be ready to load them. Then the Communist Party secretary of the team said to me, "Someone reported me to the bureau office and complained that I've sold the engine beds too cheaply, and so many people are competing to buy them. Please help me or I might lose this job as the secretary. I'll be responsible for your financial losses." I discussed this with me husband and decided that, as Dafa practitioners, we would not fight for something that other people wanted. We would just let them cancel the sale. I told the secretary, "If I didn't practice Falun Dafa, I wouldn't handle it this way." At the time he was extremely grateful, although when we asked him to cover our losses after the engine beds were sold, he became very angry and did not want to honor his promise to us and said many bad words. We could not get past this tribulation. It wasn't about the money. I just could not understand why he would treat us this way after we had helped him. I could not become tranquil during the daily meditation for over two weeks. One morning as I was doing the meditation and still could not become tranquil, Teacher's voice came to me and said, "If the person did not create this situation for you, how can you upgrade your xinxing? You should sincerely thank him from the bottom of your heart." Immediately I understood, and from my inner mind I really felt a deep sense of gratitude to him. Then I saw myself sitting in a golden and jade green resplendent hall, and on my side sat two huge Buddhas. A while later Teacher appeared in front of me, smiled, and left. Then I turned into a particle the size of a grain of rice. No matter how far I walked I couldn't reach the end; it was endless, and I realized that I had just truly entered into cultivation.
In 1999 the evil and brutal persecution on Falun Gong began. On the morning of July 18, 1999, I was doing the exercises as usual on Fuyou Mountain. When I was doing the Falun Standing Stance, I saw a big Falun about one meter in diameter with its emblem very clear and bright revolving in front of me. After five or six Falun passed, and bright rays shone from above my head like a sun. The rays became so strong that I could not open my eyes. Then Teacher's image appeared in the center. Words could not begin to describe his compassion and magnificence. I started calling Teacher from my heart and completed the rest of the exercises in tears. I shared this with many fellow practitioners at the practice site afterwards. They all said, "We are not as fortunate as you. We did not get to see Teacher." I told them, "I am not only telling you that I saw Teacher, but I think a big tribulation is coming our way." At that time my Celestial Eye could rarely see unless some significant tribulation was coming. It had never opened during the exercises before. Two days later, on the night of July 20, 1999, Falun Gong assistants were arrested nationwide, marking the beginning of the brutal suppression and evil persecution of Falun Gong. I was determined to take part in safeguarding the Fa.
In the summer of 2000, I was arrested for distributing Teacher's latest articles to other practitioners. They deprived me of sleep by interrogating me continuously for three days and nights. They employed various means to threaten and entice me, blasted me with intense light, and attempted to destroy my will. One night soon after closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep, a respectable and solemn young man stood in front of me and gently called my name. He told me that I was gradually reaching Consummation. I was startled and then saw the young man looking at me kindly. At first I thought he was a policeman, but later when I asked everyone there, they said that there was no such person. I then realized that it was Teacher encouraging me.
In 2001, I was sentenced to three years in the Jianxin Women's Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin. They tried to manipulate me through endless brainwashing sessions. There were no other books besides those slandering Falun Gong. I had never touched those books until one day I decided to find out for myself what cults were really like. Through careful examination and comparison, I drew the conclusion that, "Falun Dafa is genuinely the righteous Fa." The Communist Party, on the other hand, possessed the six main characteristics of a cult. Through my steadfast belief in Teacher and Dafa, I overcame my shortcomings and continued to cultivate firmly during the Fa rectification period, to validate the Fa and save the world's people.
The above are some memorable Buddha manifestations and hints that I have received since I began cultivation. I am sharing them here to validate the existence and magnificence of Dafa. This is to help people realize that a genuine Buddha is here to offer salvation and that they should awaken from this secular maze. Teacher takes great care in helping practitioners in their cultivation. We will never be able to repay our compassionate and magnificent Teacher. Only by devoting ourselves to validating Dafa and saving sentient beings can we live up to Teacher's immense compassion.
