(Clearwisdom.net) I'm a 66-year old retired worker and I obtained the Fa in April 1996. After the persecution of Falun Gong started in July 1999, I was illegally detained and severely tortured. My husband died as a result of the persecution and some of my other family members are being held in forced labor camps to this day. With Master's ever-present care, I earnestly do the three things and have never thought of slacking off on the path of Fa-rectification cultivation.

Master Helps Me When My Thoughts are Righteous

On the morning of July 21, after I did my laundry, I sat down to study the Fa. While I was adjusting the chair, all of a sudden, I fell to the ground. It felt like my back was broken and my internal organs were tumbling about inside me. My first thought was, “How come? Then I began to send righteous thoughts and ask for Master's help. I have so many things to do. So many sentient beings are waiting for me to save. Get up! I must get up and go spread the word of truth!”

Right then, I felt a warm current flowing through my body. It was quite soothing, so I slowly stood up. I knew it was Master protecting me! I am 5'7 in height and weigh 165 pounds, either my back or legs could have been broken had Master not helped me. As I live by myself, Master has supported me on many occasions. I had Master worried about me again this time, so I thought to independently shoulder more of the burden this time. I sent forth righteous thoughts with great pain and was very sweaty. In the meantime, I calmed myself and looked inward. I realized my own issues and found many human notions that were deeply hidden.

Firstly, I have the mentality of showing off. I had been bragging about the number of people I helped quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) every day. Only then did I connect more personally to the Fa passage as follows:

“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” Zhuan Falun

I only need to have such a wish, listen to Master's words unconditionally and act according to Master’s requirements. In other respects, it is Master who saves them. Recently I have been doing well in helping people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Still I need to progress in comprehending the Fa, as I'm still far from Master's requirement.

Secondly, I have been too focused on completing external tasks, and sometimes 'study' the Fa in name only. I have stagnated in comprehending the Fa at deeper levels, forestalling the possibility of growing more upright, pure and noble.

Lastly, I have thrown my weight around at times – telling others how to do Dafa things. I was led by limited, human thinking. I have been busy doing things but the results have not been good. Especially with truth clarification, I asked other practitioners to learn from me and do it my way. Fellow practitioners did not follow, but took the Fa as the teacher and went about the task rationally. The root of my problem is that I did not study the Fa well and let a mentality of showing off get the best of me.

When I realized that, I felt a sense of relief. I did the exercises on the morning of July 23, two days after the accident. After sending forth righteous thoughts, I swallowed my pain and went downstairs. I recalled what Master said in (Zhuan Falun),

“When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it." and “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!'”

Then I was able to walk with ease. Everything went back to normal!

After the publishing of Master's new lecture “Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa”, I found the clear answer. In order to harmonize with what Master wants, save more sentient beings, and get twice the results with half the effort, Dafa disciples must study the Fa well.

Helping Ten People to Withdraw from the CCP in Half a Day

As I progressed on the Fa, success came naturally as people quit the CCP. I went out to clarify the truth after the rain stopped in the afternoon. On the way to the village, just a few houses from my destination, a man waved incessantly asking me to stop. So I pulled up a stool and sat down. I talked about the recent natural disasters, the persecution of Falun Gong and the historic trend of quitting the CCP. I became close to him as we chatted along. Then I found out that he was a retired worker from my workplace. He asked me to help him quit the CCP.

I left his house and met an old man. I asked him, “Do you know Falun Dafa is good?” He agreed, so I told him about quitting the CCP. He went into the room and took out the certificate of Party member. He showed me his certificate eagerly to prove that he is a Party member and he wanted to withdraw from it. I said that there is no need to check and it would be voided once he made the statement to quit. I told him to remember “Falun Dafa is great! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great!” and it will ensure his safety. He was filled with joy and the expression in his eyes was very sincere. He asked me to help him quit with his real name.

At a road crossing, I met two Party members. I clarified the truth to them and they nodded their heads. They told me their surnames and I helped them quit with assumed names. These things happened within half an hour and 100 meters in distance. However, they might have waited for this for many lifetimes. Because of Master's laborious arrangement, they are saved by Dafa today.

On my way home, there was a big yard by the road and lots of people were there. I said to myself, “Go in there and save these people!” A woman asked me what I wanted. I told her that I saw so many people and wanted to watch the fun. I sat down and told them about the growth of Dafa and the persecution from the CCP. They introduced themselves happily: three Party members, one Youth League member and one communist young pioneer. I helped them quit with assumed names. The rest had never joined any of the CCP's organizations. A woman picked a cucumber for me, washed it and gave it to me. She said, “Take it. It is hot today and it will cool you down.”

After I got home, I looked back on the afternoon's experience helping ten people to withdraw from the CCP. With gratitude, tears flowed from my eyes. I thanked Master for laying the groundwork and helping me to find the people with predestined relationships. Thanks to Master for giving me this golden and sacred opportunity.
