(Clearwisdom.net) I have been in business since 1986 and obtained the Fa in 2007. I used to feel anxious for not being truthful to the extent required by the practice. I felt really very unhappy for not being truthful and I used to feel embarrassed to see Master's picture, which I kept in the center of my house. I always used to ask Master to show me the way to become a dignified, true practitioner.

While translating Zhuan Falun a lot of transformation took place within me. I am highly grateful to Master for having made me realize recently that not having any doubt requires an uncompromising heart and a mind determined not to indulge in any wrong. I was determined once Master showed me the path. I felt a great sense of relief and satisfaction.

In order to do things the way Master showed me, I told my business assistant to do things differently and, regardless of the cost, not to follow or look at or do things as previously. I knew it would be difficult, but I was determined.

To test my mind and heart, different difficult tribulations then appeared, and they continue even now. One tribulation was that the investors in my business decided that they wanted their funds back because the market was poor, money was scarce, and there was pressure from suppliers. A delay in the monsoon rains further aggravated the situation, and I couldn't pay salaries on time. But this didn't deter me. To add to my woes, due to my mistake, my vehicle hit a parked vehicle while going in reverse, and I had to settle the issue by paying the demanded amount.

I realized that all these things were happening to test me, to see how strongly I would be committed to the practice and also to my new standard of being truthful in my business.

I did not give in to temptation or change my mind. Then another big tribulation came my way. One of my distributors played a mind game with my employee, which seriously affected the business in his area. The employee turned totally against me and held up huge amounts of stock and even wanted to resign, giving me a list of debtors. The distributor offered him a new job in another company, too. As Master mentioned in Zhuan Falun,

"We say that when you take a step back in a conflict, you will find the seas and the skies boundless, and it will certainly be another situation."

Just as our revered Master said, the situation changed when I had a talk with that formerly good employee, who realized his mistake and stayed with my company. He also promised to meet all of his responsibilities, like collecting debts, etc.

I was so pleased with the turn of events that I lacked the words to express my profound gratitude to such a great Master, who took such care of me even in those adverse conditions. Many thanks to our great Master. Not only that, I wasn't disturbed even a little, in spite of all these developments.

Luckily, when I shared this with a foreign practitioner who was a student in my place, he told me his story. Many students were cheating on their exams in different ways, but he didn't. Thanks to Master's guidance, he simply studied well for the exam and did well. This helped me to a great extent to further dedicate myself to the practice and trust Master totally. My assistant was very doubtful whether we would be doing any business this year. After a month or two of turmoil (i.e., from the time I made the decision to be truthful in my business), slowly but surely, I am becoming hopeful about the business this year, beginning a few days back. I strongly feel that if I weren't as dedicated as I was during this time to pass the tests and, if I didn't handle myself as a practitioner, I would have lost myself on the way.

But thanks again to our great Master. Master did not leave me and has been with me all the way. I am more content now, since I am conducting my business in a more dignified manner. Our Teacher gave me full strength to face any adversity in the future, and all I can do now is to follow Master completely by cultivating according to Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance. I also realized that I should share such a great practice as much as possible. That is the goal for the rest of my life, and I will do it regularly. I am honestly blessed to take part in such a divine act.

Through these recent events I have come to a greater understanding of what our great Master said:

"When I practiced cultivation in the past, many great masters told me these words, and they said: 'When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.' In fact, that is how it is. Why don’t you give it a try when you return home. When you are overcoming a real hardship or tribulation, you try it. When it is difficult to endure, try to endure it. When it looks impossible and is said to be impossible, give it a try and see if it is possible. If you can actually do it, you will indeed find: 'After passing the shady willow trees, there will be bright flowers and another village ahead!'”

Please correct me if any mistakes in my understanding are observed.

Heshi to our Master.
