(Minghui.org) I am 14 years old and started cultivating Falun Dafa with my grandmother when I was very young. I have really benefited from it.
Improving My Character as a Good Student
Falun Dafa is most precious and more important than anything else. I am very fortunate to have this scared relationship with Dafa. I study the Fa every day. I’ve memorized and can recite On Dafa, part of the first lecture in Zhuan Falun, and Master’s poems in Hong Yin. No matter how busy I get with my schoolwork, I always find the time to study the Fa.
During school holidays, I study one or two lectures in Zhuan Falun daily. When I do, my heart is calm and my body feels warm and comfortable. Sometimes, I’ve felt a warm current pouring down from the top of my head to the tips of my toes when I memorize the Fa. I enlightened that this was Master performing a ritual anointment on me.
Dafa has given me wisdom, to which my schoolwork can attest. I went from 25th in my class academically to 13th. I scored over 90 points in each subject.
Dafa has also taught me to be a better person. I always tell myself that I am a young Falun Dafa practitioner and have to cultivate my speech and not swear or lie. I am humble when I interact with my classmates.
I do the work that no one else wants to do during our annual school cleaning and picked the dirtiest job. It was winter and I had to carry buckets of cold water to scrub down the windows and walls. I wore out the towels I brought from home, but the dusty windows ended up bright and clean. Although my hands and fingers were freezing and hurt because of the cold water, I was happy. My teachers and classmates said I was hardworking and dedicated.
I am always well-behaved at school, and my teachers have never had to call my parents for behavioral issues.
Staying Safe in a Motorbike Accident
I was on my way to deliver lunch to my mother on my motorbike when someone else on a motorbike ran into me head-on. I fell down, and the basket on my bike was crushed.
As a crowd surrounded me, I slowly got up and heard the other driver say, “Let’s go to the hospital to make sure you’re okay.” I said, “I’m fine. It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me!”
One of the witnesses said, “That was not a minor accident. You should let him take you to the hospital! Don’t be stubborn!” I said, “Thank you, but I am fine.” I got on my motorbike and went home.
I told my grandmother about the accident when I got home. It really was quite scary. She and I put our palms together in heshi to thank Master for protecting me.
Being Compassionate and Considerate
My aunt and my mother had a quarrel and stayed mad at each other even after the fight. I thought to myself, “I am a cultivator. I need to help them get over it.” I called my cousin (my aunt’s daughter) and said, “Let’s persuade our mothers not to be mad at each other anymore. Anger isn’t good for your health. We should remind them to think positively of each other and be more considerate and tolerant. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone in the family got along?”
When my aunt’s mother-in-law heard what I’d said, she praised me for being a good child. She said, “I was so touched that I had tears in my eyes.”
A male student knocked me down one time at school. I hit the ground so hard when I fell that my nose bled and my face swelled up. He got scared when he saw how badly I was hurt and worried that he might get into trouble.
I knew that, as a cultivator, I could not take revenge and that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps I’d hurt him in a past lifetime and was experiencing karmic retribution. I stood up and did not blame him for anything, nor did I tell the teacher.
When my parents saw my swollen face, they asked, “Who did this? Did anyone bully you?” I told them that I had tripped. The headaches and swelling disappeared in a couple of days.
Fulfilling My Historic Vow and Compassionately Saving Sentient Beings
I am a young Falun Dafa disciple and have to help Master save sentient beings. My grandmother and I distribute truth-clarification booklets, clarify the truth, and help people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations at supermarkets and elsewhere during the holidays. I send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all negative factors while my grandmother clarifies the truth. If people are willing to quit the CCP organizations, I help my grandmother record their names.
One time when we were out, it began the pour. We did not bring an umbrella with us so we had to run home and were drenched by the time we got there. But when I took out the sheet of paper with the names of people that wanted to quit the CCP organizations, it was completely dry! My grandmother and I thought that this was a miracle. Master is constantly watching over us, helping and encouraging us to help more sentient beings understand the goodness of Falun Dafa.
At a big supermarket, my grandmother used currency bills with messages about Falun Dafa printed on them to pay. The cashier refused to accept them, claiming that the bills were counterfeit. She even asked my grandmother where she got them. I said with confidence, “Ma’am, we got these bills when we bought some groceries down the street. They aren’t counterfeit because everyone is using them. I’ve also heard from the grown-ups that these bills bring blessings to people who use them.”
That cashier was speechless and took the bills. I knew that the negative factors in her dimension were eliminated by my righteous thoughts.
Above are my cultivation experiences. Please point out anything that is not in accordance with the Fa.
