(Clearwisdom.net) I am an elderly practitioner who learned Falun Dafa in 1995. After I began cultivating, my body and mind dramatically changed. Before I began cultivation, I had all sorts of illnesses. Soon after I learned Dafa, Teacher cleansed my whole body and I became completely healthy and very energetic. I seemed to have forgotten what fatigue was, and sang all the time, just like when I was young.
My Freckled Face Became Smooth and Fair
I was born with a freckled face. After my son was born, I developed yellow spots and liver spots on my face. My whole face was spotty, and I appeared much older than my true age.
After I began to cultivate, I was very devoted. I learned the true meaning of life. Being able to learn the law of the cosmos and become a practitioner in the Fa-rectification period made me very happy. Not long after I began cultivation, friends often walked up to me and stared at my face, since my skin had become fair and tender, and glowed. Often young people asked me what skin care I used. I told them I washed my face with cold water every day and that was it, and that I didn't use any skin care products whatsoever.
Not long ago on our way home after group Fa study, we met a former classmate and colleague Peng, who was 74. He pointed at me and said to Practitioner G: “Look at her. She is 70 now, but she still looks like a young lady.” Practitioner G said, “It is all thanks to her cultivation.”
Teacher Gave Me a Hint to Eliminate My Attachment to Fame and Profit
I applied for my professorship in 1996. I was anxious when my qualifications were being evaluated. Teacher hinted to me in a dream, in which the elevator I was in kept sinking. I knew that my level would drop if I didn't work hard. Teacher was trying to eliminate my attachment to fame. I have said in the past, “An intellect lives for his name.” I did not care about money, but the fame was important to me. One can see how much I was attached to fame.
Teacher gave me another dream. My thesis was published, but it was in a magazine called Bad Luck. The magazine had a white cover with two big black words, “Bad Luck” on it. The law in human society is opposite of that in other dimensions. I knew that my promotion had been approved, but why would it bring me bad luck? Following everyday people’s law, if I can't control myself, I will just sink more and more in the pursuit of profit and fame, unwittingly create more karma, increase my evil nature, and move further away from the true way. One cultivates to eliminate one’s evil nature and enhance one’s Buddha nature. I enlightened that the difference between an ordinary person and a cultivator is that an ordinary person fights all the time. He is always stressed and exhausted. A cultivator doesn't fight and lets everything run its natural course. He believes that he won't lose things that belong to him and won't get things he should not have. In other words, one does not force his way through life. The difference is that our hearts are calm and peaceful, because we have learned the true meaning of life and know what we are living for.
My Body Goes into Another Dimension
While distributing Falun Gong informational materials, I escaped danger unscathed many times. The first time was in the winter of 1999 when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong. Once I heard a police car siren when I was still putting materials into a mailbox. My mind was strangely completely calm, and I was not even slightly disturbed. With my heart eager to save people, I was protected by Teacher who was next to me. I took my time and walked away, passing the police car.
Another time, seeing that no one was around, I quickly put some material into a mailbox. A person then came out of nowhere and ran toward me. I stared at his eyes without fear. As a result, he acted as though he did not see me. I enlightened that Teacher has put a protective shield around every practitioner, and that I was not in the same dimension as everyday people. Believing in Teacher and Dafa, we will remain safe.
Most recently, I moved into a new home. We bought a European-style bed that had a curtain around it. One weekend my little granddaughter came to stay with me. When I did the meditation, I was concerned that my hands would touch the curtain. I sent forth a thought, “Let my body go into a microscopic state.” I then felt that my body was shrinking and I couldn't touch the curtain even when I tried to. After my granddaughter left, I felt that I could stretch back and was normal again.
Seeing Teacher’s New Articles in Time
When I began studying the Fa, as soon as I opened Zhuan Falun, I could hear Teacher’s voice lecturing. This was the first supernormal event that I experienced on my path of cultivation. Teacher was treating me as a disciple and I was truly grateful. I regarded it as Teacher’s encouragement, making me more steadfast.
When Teacher published the article “What is a Dafa Disciple” in September 2011, I couldn't wait to read it. There was a problem with the battery in my notebook computer, and when I tried to fix it, stripes appeared on the computer screen. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interfering evil factors, dark minions, and the CCP’s evil spirit. Within half a minute, the computer returned to normal. I understood that Teacher had seen my eagerness to follow the proceedings of Fa-rectification and to read the new articles, and helped me.
With Righteous Thoughts, Teacher’s Fashen Helped Me
This past September, I forgot to turn off the stove when I rushed to make phone calls after I finished frying eggs. Ten minutes later, I smelled something burning, and my husband threw the spatula on the patio. When I walked over, he told me that the pot had been on fire. I said, “It's OK.” I put the burned eggs in a pan, tasted them, and decided that they were still edible. I felt that my thought of not wasting the eggs by throwing them away was righteous. It turned out the eggs tasted even better than usual and we ate them all.
In a northeast province of China, the winter was colder than ever. Food choices became scarce, and people stayed inside and were inactive. I had some left over radish that had not been eaten for a while, but I didn't want to throw it away and waste it. I cooked it to eat it myself, because my husband is not a cultivator. He is thrifty also, and wanted to share it with me. Both of us were all right after eating it. I enlightened that by my being thoughtful of others, and my husband’s being thoughtful of me, we both were unselfish and selfless. The law of the cosmos is controlling everything. That is why neither of us got sick from the food.
My level is limited. Please point out my deficiencies.
