(Clearwisdom.net) Since I began practicing Falun Dafa, I have not turned on the TV. Neither have I logged onto any everyday people's websites. Recently the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has intensified the Internet blockade and the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) has been sealed tight, but when I want to make truth-clarification materials for Dafa and my heart is very quiet and my mind very clear, I have found that I can smoothly access the Minghui website.
We have group Fa study every Monday and Friday night. After we study the Fa on Friday nights, we distribute all the materials (Minghui Weekly magazine, Minghui Weekly newspaper, brochures, Minghui Photo Digest) to our local Dafa disciples. I keep a righteous thought in my mind: "I must print out all the materials during the day on Friday." The Free-gate software symbol--the little dove--is also aware of the urgency of saving sentient beings, and it "cooperates" with me very well, so I have no problems logging on each time. (Editors note: Free-gate software helps practitioners circumvent the CCP Internet blockade)
Recently, after I opened the site, I immediately downloaded all the materials and printed them out. Shortly afterward, I tried to log on again, but could not re-open the Free-gate software. However, all the materials needed for one week had been downloaded. The evil could never really interfere with the mission of Dafa disciples saving sentient beings. I really enlightened to that. All these things are done by Master. How could the evil stop Master from saving sentient beings?
It was mentioned in Journey to the West that Monkey King had supernormal abilities, and he could travel thousands of miles in one somersault. But no matter how capable he was, he couldn't escape from Buddha Sakyamuni's palm. The benevolent compassion of Master is immense and the mighty power of Dafa is boundless. How can the evil block the Minghui website? At critical moments, if we use righteous thoughts instead of human mentalities, any kind of evil can be eliminated. Master said,
"But if your righteous thoughts are strong, the evil will be dissolved. The power of true compassion can dissolve all deviant factors..." ("Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan" March 26, 2006)
Therefore, the evil can't prevent us from distributing flyers to save sentient beings.
Clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings is all done by Master. To give Dafa disciples a chance to establish our mighty virtue, Master asks us to use our legs to walk and open our mouths to clarify the facts to save sentient beings. On one occasion, a fellow practitioner took me on his motorcycle to a town miles away from my home. The destination was a remote mountainous area and the road was very rough. The motorcycle broke down before we got to our destination. There was a couple resting at the roadside and the lady shouted at us, "Come over and take a break!"
We sat beside them and had a chat. We talked about their crops and our lives nowadays, then we led the conversation to the topic of Falun Gong. We asked, "Have you heard the news that Heaven will destroy the CCP, so quitting the CCP can save one's life?" They said no. We asked them about the organizations they belonged to. The gentleman was a member of the CCP and the lady had been a member of the Communist Youth League. We told them the importance of quitting the CCP and its related organizations. Before we left, the lady repeatedly asked us to help them quit. They told us to use their real names to quit the CCP. Two more sentient beings were awakened!
There are in total twenty-five precincts in our township alone. I've traveled to twenty of them by bicycle to visit all the former CCP secretaries. I told them of the corruption and the current disasters brought about by the Party. I persuaded them to quit the CCP, and as a result they followed my advice and quit using their real names.
I began practicing Falun Dafa in May 1998. At that time, I had just had stomach surgery and returned home from the hospital. I was extremely weak and couldn't walk by myself. My eldest daughter told me about Falun Gong, and I read the book Zhuan Falun. I also watched the video tapes of Fa Lectures given by Master. I felt that Falun Gong was very good.
In less than a month, I had become very strong and I could ride a bicycle to the practice site in other villages. At that time, I got up at 4:00 a.m. every day. Sometimes I didn't wake up by myself, but then I heard Master outside calling to me, "Hurry up! It's time to get up." Within a few days, Master had awakened me three times. Although I couldn't see him, I indeed heard his voice. I know that Master is by my side at all times.
In 1998 and 1999, Dafa spread rapidly in my county. Large-scale Fa conferences were held several times in one year. At each Fa conference, Dafa disciples shared their experiences about how they improved their xinxing and how their bodies changed greatly after they started practicing Falun Gong.
On July 20, 1999, the persecution began with the overwhelming suppression of practitioners. The CCP utilized the propaganda machinery of the state to slander Falun Gong, and repressed the unarmed practitioners without restraint. All practice sites were destroyed, and I had to practice the exercises alone in my home. But no matter how the evil CCP persecuted Dafa, my firm belief could not be shaken. With my strong righteous thoughts, I decided not to give up. I knew that no one could harm me, and whoever persecutes me has committed a sin. I tried my best to withstand the pressures. I decided that I should follow Teacher closely and steadfastly cultivate Dafa despite all difficulties.
In the days following July 20, 1999, a miracle happened to me. Since my youth, there had been a soft tumor, larger than a duck's egg, in my stomach. I never went to the hospital for it. One day I felt a sudden and strong pain in that area. The pain was so sharp and intense I almost couldn't bear it. But after five minutes the pain suddenly disappeared and so did the tumor. It was gone forever. How could I not show my gratitude to Master for saving my life? I really experienced what the Fa teaches us, that is, "Gain without pursuit". As long as we conduct ourselves according to the requirements, we can do anything.
For 365 days of the year, I have continued studying the Fa and doing the five exercises. I am very strict with myself. I tried to correct myself immediately if there was anything not abiding with Dafa's requirements. My body became stronger and stronger, and I improved my xinxing dramatically. My attachments became fewer and fewer, and Dafa corrected all my negative thoughts and actions. Studying the Fa and exposing the persecution became my everyday work, and I've never stopped doing the three things.
My xinxing has been continuously improving as I regularly study the Fa. Master said that materials production sites should blossom everywhere, but I didn't have a computer and I didn't grasp the high-tech technologies, so what should I do? I pondered over this problem. I thought that my fellow practitioners had taken too much responsibility already, resulting in not having time to study the Fa or even sleep. According to the Fa's requirements, as practitioners, we should always consider others first, so how could I relieve other practitioners' burdens? I then had a desire to make truth-clarification materials myself. My children were afraid of my being illegally arrested by the CCP, so they didn't agree to buy me a computer, but I was determined to share the burdens of my fellow practitioners. So I bought a computer and a printer, and little by little I learned how to use the computer to print. I can now basically make all kinds of Dafa truth-clarification materials all by myself.
I haven't suffered too many tribulations in the eleven years of my cultivation. Under Master's compassionate care, I have traveled my path very smoothly. However, my xinxing level has improved very slowly. When facing strangers to clarify the facts about Falun Gong to them, I recognized a lot of my shortcomings, such as differentiating people by human notions, observing people, labeling them, and judging them before deciding to speak. Sometimes I wouldn't open my mouth because I felt that maybe the person would be very hard to save. Doing so lost me many opportunities. I will try to immediately correct these kinds of human notions and save as many people as I can to fulfill my prehistoric solemn oath.
