(Minghui.org) I was born in the late 80s. When I attended elementary school, I was a problem student that no one wanted to deal with. My grades were so poor that my parents were invited to school about different subjects, and I often had to stay back after school because I did not turn in my homework.
I also went around creating problems, such as beating up our neighbors’ children until their parents came to our house to complain. I beat up a classmate in school and a whole group of classmates ran to my house to look for my parents. Every few days, such things would occur. My parents and teachers were kept busy with my problems.
One summer before 1999, my mother had surgery to remove a polypus in her nose, but the surgeon accidentally hit a nerve, so half of her face often felt uncomfortable and she would have headaches. She also had bouts of breathlessness after the surgery. The side effects from the surgery were said to be incurable.
Qigong was popular everywhere at that time, so she went to a park in the morning to exercise and strengthen her body. She passed by a Falun Dafa practice site by the lakeside. She felt a very strong energy current, like a warm current, coming toward her. She exclaimed, “What practice is this? Its energy field is so strong!”
The practitioner who taught her the exercises told her that this is Falun Dafa, a cultivation practice rooted in the Buddhist tradition, and requires its practitioners to abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
When my mother was learning the fifth set of exercises, Reinforcing Supernatural Powers, she felt wonderful as she meditated, as though she was sitting in an eggshell. My mother brought me into cultivation in Dafa right after that. Her thinking was that no one could control me given my naughty nature, but such a good spiritual way would definitely be able to change me. So she brought me to the morning group practice and group Fa study.
After cultivating Falun Dafa, the headaches and breathlessness that my mother had suffered from disappeared, and her temper improved greatly. I also changed from a problem child to one who thought of others, and I even won a top national scholarship. After graduation, I kept improving myself in my profession in the arts.
Before cultivation, I caught colds easily and came down with fevers. I often had to go for intravenous drips because my health was poor. As long as any of my classmates caught a cold I would be infected, and I would often suffer from stomachaches without any obvious cause. Check ups at the hospital also could not find any cause. I just suffered discomfort.
After cultivation, I seldom got fevers or colds. When I was about to graduate from high school, I displayed some karma-eliminating fever symptoms at a fellow practitioner’s house. The practitioner asked me to lie down on a wooden sofa for a while and recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” sincerely in my heart. After reciting sincerely for 5 to 10 minutes, the fever miraculously subsided.
An uncle in my neighborhood went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that he had a tumor growing on one of his organs and it was cancerous. The surgery would cost a lot of money. His family could not afford it and the operation was also very risky. His wife was a Falun Dafa cultivator. She told her husband that since he did not want to cultivate Falun Dafa with her, he could try to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in his heart. He did not say anything to her at the time. Half a year later, this uncle went to the hospital for another check-up and the doctor said, “Did you go to another hospital for surgery to remove it? It is gone.” The uncle replied to the doctor, “My wife cultivates Falun Dafa. She asked me to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ sincerely in my heart.” This story spread throughout our neighborhood.
After I entered university, our school had an influenza outbreak one winter. Many of my classmates contracted the flu. In our dormitory, where six of us shared a room, apart from me, all five other roommates were either coughing or had runny noses and dizziness. They went through a lot of tissue paper in a short while. Despite going with them to classes, the canteen, and the dormitory to do our homework and rest every day, I seemed to have been protected by a shield. I did not catch a cold or cough or have a runny nose. After they had symptoms of influenza for about a week, my best dormitory friend said, “You’re really healthy. We have already been like this for so long but you do not have any symptoms at all. And we are together every day. You did not contract influenza at all.” I later found a chance to clarify the truth about Dafa to this friend. After that, she used a thumb drive to copy the electronic versions of Dafa books, cultivation stories, and traditional culture stories. She even quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.
The winter before last [in 2020], a good friend invited me to draw with her. While we were clearing our drawing tools after completing a drawing, I was surprised to see a drop of blood coming out from the back of her hand. I hurriedly asked her, “What happened?” She said that when she gave birth for the second time to a pair of twins, the doctor asked her to immerse herself in a type of medicine to close up the wounds. As she often needed to use her hands to grind up the medicine, the skin on her hand got damaged and would often bleed. I said, “Giving birth to a baby is a very big sacrifice. Let me copy the recordings of the Dafa lectures for you! Listening to it will benefit you!” She agreed and brought an mp4 to me the following week. I copied the recordings of the Fa lectures and some truth-clarification videos onto it for her. During that period of time, she would send her children to school in the morning, then proceed to the lakeside near her house to listen to the Fa. She said that the bleeding stopped after she listened to the fourth lecture. She exclaimed that it was really miraculous!
After graduating from university, I did my postgraduate studies at the same school. In this school, there was a professor who was also a practitioner, but I didn't know that at the time. Since he needed postgraduate students, I applied for the post. I still remember that this is how I got to know this teacher. During an ethics class, the teacher often added content about traditional Chinese culture and how we need to emphasize moral values and personal cultivation in our curriculum. This made me feel that this teacher was different from the rest.
During our second lesson, this professor mentioned uranium ore, so I started to think that he might be a fellow practitioner. So during the lesson break, I went over to him and said quietly, “Teacher, we share the same belief.” He asked me what my belief was and I replied Falun Dafa. He smiled and said that we share the same belief. Later, this teacher often taught me how to improve my professional skills and cooperated with me to clarify the truth. For one training, the teacher wanted me to become an assistant teacher. Before the class, he said to me that we could cooperate more to clarify the truth and save more people.
Once, when the lesson was over and the professor was not around, a female classmate was still drawing. She told me that she really wanted to pass the exams to enter this school. It was her dream. But when I saw what she was drawing, I could tell it was not good enough to get into this school. I said that the older folks in my family once told me that if I had the wish to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations, it could bring me safety and peace. I continued, “If you are really willing to give up your atheism and quit the CCP and its youth organizations, who knows, it may be of help to your exams.” She gladly agreed. After that, I talked to her about Dafa in more depth. Sometime later, I saw her telling the truth to some female classmates around her. Not long after that, she completed her exams and took a photo of her examination work. After the exams, she showed me the work. I saw that this was a piece of work that could attain beyond 90 marks as it was able to meet almost all of the examination requirements. I told her that she did very well on this exam so she just had to prepare well for her culture examination. Later, she also passed her culture exam. After entering the school, she came to the office to express her thanks to the professors. Actually, this all happened because of her choice and because she had a good understanding of Dafa. She said that she felt that she was helped by god’s power, which had expanded her wisdom. We were all very happy for her.
During my teachings and life, I try my best to clarify the truth about Dafa to every person I meet. This is because we have all benefited from Dafa so we must spread this goodness to more people. We are Dafa practitioners who are on the path to divinity.
