Becoming Mature While Diligently Cultivating Dafa

June 29, 2011 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Heilongjiang Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) In 1993 and 1994, I attended Teacher's Fa lectures twice. Teacher purified my body and removed many of my illnesses, such as migraines, frozen shoulders, cervical bone hyperplasia, rhinitis, and other diseases. I experienced Guanding a few times, making my body feel light, like I was being lifted off the ground when I walked, and I felt like I was in an eggshell when I was meditating—how great and wonderful!

Strong Righteous Thoughts with Dafa's protection

As I recall, back in August of 1995, I was riding my bike to work when an automobile hit me from behind, and I was thrown with my bike up in the air for more than ten meters, made a backward somersault, then slammed onto the street and my bike landed on my leg. When I came to, I noticed that I was surrounded by lots of people, including my neighbor. The driver jumped out of his car and helped me up, asking, “How do you feel?” I said, “Don't worry, I am okay.”

The legs of the poor little driver were trembling. In my mind I said to Teacher, “Teacher, whatever happened, I'd like to be considerate, and I only listen to you.” Some of the bystanders said to call the police, others said I should be taken to a hospital, and some blamed the driver. The driver was so scared that he had tears in his eyes. I waved to the people around me, “I'm okay, you guys. Let him go. You (the driver) take me home because my bike is wrecked.”

I got into the driver's car. Since he was concerned, he took me to the Armed Police Hospital, and then drove me to the Military General Hospital for an examination. My family rushed to the hospital, where a CT scan showed nothing was wrong with me. The hospital wanted me to stay for further tests, but I refused and insisted on going home. When I got home, I went to bed and rested, then I saw a big colorful Falun spinning on top of the wardrobe just across from me. I knew Teacher was protecting and encouraging me.

One day, the young driver came to my home and gave me 200 yuan for my bike and my skirt, which had been ripped. He told me that he wanted to ask his parents to come from the provincial capital and talk with me about a compensation. I told him right away, “It is not necessary. Don't you see I'm perfectly alright?! Don't tell your parents or they will be worried.” He said, “Kind lady, you must believe in something? I have never seen or met a good person like you!” My younger sister, who was standing nearby, took over the conversation and said, “She practices Falun Gong, a Buddha school practice.” I continued, “Yes, our Teacher teaches us to be good, not to cheat others, and always care about others first, based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” He said, “It really is a miracle! I hit you so hard and you flipped so high and then fell to the ground, but you didn't get hurt at all—unbelievable! You Falun Gong people are really good!”

Clarifying the Facts about Falun Gong and Saving People with Reason

One day, when a colleague of mine asked me to go to his son's wedding, I immediately thought that this was another opportunity to clarify the facts. I went to a local hair salon to get my hair done for the ceremony the next day. When I entered the salon, a child yelled, “Mom, your customer is here.” I asked the owner of the salon how long it would take to get my hair done and she told me a little more than an hour. I sat down and let her do her work. As soon as she started cutting, I noticed that she seemed to be lack any skill, because I had some knowledge of cutting hair. However, I remained calm and realized that I was there to save this mother and her son.

Because her son was watching television in his chair, his mother began to lecture him. Then they started to exchange words. The mother walked over and kicked the boy, who turned around and kicked her, too. The mother asked him, “Why do you dare to beat your mother?” The boy said, “Because you hit me first.”

Seeing this, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the poisonous elements of the CCP in their heads and to get rid of the rotten ghosts behind them. Therefore, I enabled them to develop a compassionate mind and establish righteous thoughts that “Falun Dafa is good.” A few moments later, the mother's attitude toward her son changed for the better and she was more amiable. I said, “In order to educate a child, you have use good methods: First of all, you should not get angry. Second, you should not scold or beat the child. After hearing and agreeing with what I had told her about educating children, she liked it and wondered whether I might be a schoolteacher.

Then I said to the boy, “I told your mother what she did wasn't right, but what you did to her was wrong, too—do you agree?” The boy kept saying it was wrong, and I said, “I believe you're going to be a good boy and a great man, too.” Then I asked him, “Did you join the Young Pioneers?” He acknowledged that he did and I told him, “You should withdraw from this organization, and remember the words 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' Is that okay with you?” He nodded his head and said, “Okay.” I used nicknames for him and his mother when both of them withdrew from the CCP organizations, and then left the hair salon.

Getting Rid of Hatred and Saving Family Members

My husband is the oldest son in his family and my mother-in-law passed away long ago. We allowed his brothers and sisters to take advantage of us, and they split the family's wealth among them, while we didn't get our share. While I was pregnant, my sister bought me 11 chickens so that I would have enough protein from the meat and the chicken's eggs after my baby was born. My father-in-law ended up eating eight of them, leaving three of them to lay eggs, but I never got any. During the winter, my husband got new coal from his employer and brought it home. Logically speaking, it should not have been a problem to burn our own coal and heat our home, but my father-in-law didn't like this. He wanted me to burn his ten-year-old coal, which I had to scoop up from beneath the ground, when I was 7-8 months pregnant. I had other problems with my father-in-law and he always blamed me for everything, and my resentment toward him grew.

After becoming a Dafa practitioner, I began to understand something about karmic relationships, which I had not known as an everyday person. Teacher said,

“Ordinary human affairs, according to the Buddha School, all have predestined relationships. Birth, old age, illness, and death exist as such for ordinary people. Due to karma resulting from past wrongdoing, one has illnesses or tribulations; suffering is repaying a karmic debt, and thus nobody can casually change this. Changing it means that one would not have to repay the debt after being in debt, and this cannot be done at will. Doing otherwise is the same as committing a bad deed.” (Zhuan Falun, “Genuinely Guiding People Toward High Levels,” Lecture One)

I finally understood that feeling resentment or gratitude in my life were a reflection of the actions in my previous lives. Gradually, I started to have compassion toward my father-in-law, and every time I saw him, I told him about Falun Dafa. I also gave him an MP4 Player, which had the lectures “Disintegrate the Culture of the Communist Party,” “On the Culture of the CCP”, and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. At first he was afraid to watch them, but later on he not only enjoyed them, but also recited some of it.

My father-in-law's gastric cancer was in its advanced stages in 2009; he had not had solid food or water for five days. After finding blood in his stool and vomiting blood, we took him to a hospital, where doctors told us to be prepared for his final days, saying the chances of him surviving were slim. I noticed that his mind was still alert, but he lacked energy to talk, so I said in his ear, “Only Falun Dafa can save you; you should sincerely recite in your mind without thinking about anything else: 'Falun Dafa is good, Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'” He nodded his head. When his mind became clear and he was able to talk again, his first words to me were, “Protect Zhuan Falun and the Nine Commentaries in my home. I want to read them when I get back.” From then on, he improved daily, was able to eat and get out of the bed to walk, and within two weeks, he was released from the hospital.

When he returned home, I told him that people throughout the entire world are learning Dafa, about the public trials against Jiang Zemin and the devilish chief of the CCP and those high officials of the CCP. He also asked me to issue a solemn statement on the Clearwisdom website that he repented of his burning of Dafa books, and wanted to thank Master for giving him a second life!

Fellow practitioners, please kindly correct anything improper.
