Greetings to Master!Greetings to Fellow Practitioners!
My name is Shi Zhen. I remember that the first time I shared my cultivation experience with fellow practitioners was when I was six years old. Time flies. Two years have passed, and I am already an eight-year-old in second grade at elementary school. Once, after a group exercise session, a practitioner came over and asked my mother if I would like to write a cultivation experience sharing article this year. My mother rejected the suggestion immediately because she knew that my xinxing appeared to be quite lousy for the past two years, so there was nothing to share about my cultivation experience. However, on the way home, I told her that I wanted to share. That gave me the chance to share my cultivation experience with everyone here today.
Sending Forth Righteous Thought to Get Rid of All Sorts of Disturbances
In the past, I was always able to see Master’s image in my mind. It was as though Master’s image was etched in my mind. No matter what I did, I could see Master’s image. However, that is no longer the case now. As I grew older, my xinxing started to deteriorate and some interference started to occur.
Although I am a model student who has good character and academic results, and I am also well-liked by the teachers and classmates in school, I am not the same at home. My mother often shakes her head in front of me. I often quarrel with my brother and fight with him about everything. I displayed strong attachments to fighting with others, selfishness, jealousy, and I also became lazy. I even frequently throw a temper at my brother and ignore my mother’s words.
During normal times, our mother often reminds us that this is the Dharma-Ending Age, in which chaos abounds. As cultivators, we must maintain our righteous thoughts and not interact with those bad and non-righteous things. I also discovered that many children’s stories have story segments about ghosts or witches. Mom mentioned before that if we were to see these types of bad content, we should stop reading those books. I was once reading a storybook when a bad witch appeared in the later part of the book. As the story was so exciting, I forgot my mom’s reminders and continued to read until I finished reading the entire story. In the end, the bad witch appeared in my dream that night. Everything was so real and it was really scary! I was so frightened that I did not dare to go back to sleep. My mom then asked me to send forth righteous thoughts to get rid of the interference. The witch no longer appeared after that.
Sometimes, some disrespectful thoughts about Master would appear in my mind, and I didn’t know why. I knew that that was not the real me and it made me feel very scared and sad. I cried sadly and told my mom hesitantly about it. My mom then sent forth righteous thoughts with me to get rid of the interference. After that, the thoughts disappeared.
There was a period when I felt very troubled because I often heard two voices conversing in my mind. I was buying food at school once and a classmate accidentally banged into me. The two voices then appeared in my mind again. One voice that represented good thoughts told me that I must treat my classmate kindly while the second voice that represented bad thoughts told me to bang back into that classmate. As I am a cultivator, I understand what to do in my heart. I want to treat that classmate with kindness.
In the past, I heard the adults talk about elevator malfunctions. Once, I took an elevator to the upper floors by myself. As I was alone in the elevator, I felt a little scared and worried so I started to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” At that moment, the two voices appeared in my head again. The first voice said that what I did was right while the second voice said that my reciting was not going to help. Then, these two voices started to debate again. I felt really tired of it and did not want to hear them anymore. I covered my ears and ran home once the elevator doors opened. I felt very troubled and told my mom about this matter when I reached home. My mom told me to send forth righteous thoughts to get rid of this interference. She said that I am Master’s disciple so I will only follow Master’s arrangements and reject all other arrangements. After sending forth righteous thoughts a few times, the two voices no longer appeared.
I recently started to study the Fa on the online platform. However, I started to feel tired just a short while after I began studying the Fa there. If I was not studying the Fa, I would not feel tired and would feel very awake instead. My mom encouraged me to persist with the Fa study and told me that this was a form of interference. Once, when I was reading the Fa, a mass of substances appeared in front of my eyes, such that the words became blurry, disturbing my Fa study. I knew that that was interference, so I maintained my righteous thoughts and continued to study the Fa. With that, I quickly overcame this disturbance too.
I like to study the Fa because I have discovered that studying the Fa can answer many of the questions that were troubling me. When I kept thinking about a matter but did not understand why it was like that or what I should do about it, I would get the answer once I studied the Fa. I will also understand some Fa principles too. Thank you Master for your benevolent enlightenment.
My Whole Body Feels Relaxed After Practicing the Exercises
If I can enter a tranquil state while practicing the exercises I am also in a good cultivation state. My body will often feel light and relaxed as though I am floating with my feet off the ground. This feeling is also very strong when I am walking. Sometimes, one leg would keep floating up and I could not suppress it, and it meant that I could not walk properly. This made me feel at a loss sometimes. Mom told me to recite the nine golden words, “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-and Forbearance is Good”. After that she told me to communicate with my legs, telling them to walk normally instead of floating upwards all the time. After that, my legs gradually became obedient and they no longer floated upwards. I can walk properly as usual too.
I Also Clarified the Truth
Once when I was preparing to send forth righteous thoughts, my mom said that as I was still young and had yet to clarify the truth, I do not need to get rid of the evil elements that are disturbing me while clarifying the truth. However, I said, “I did clarify the truth too. I have my classmates and discovered that when I was clarifying the truth to my classmate in the school bus, the classmate would need to get off the bus before I finished speaking. But when I wanted to continue clarifying the truth to him the next day, he just did not come. Things like that happened many times. I felt that it may be evil factors trying to prevent me from clarifying the truth. Therefore, I also wanted to get rid of all the evil elements that are interfering with me clarifying the truth.”
The Miracle That Happened at the Practice Site
Every Friday night, around eight o’clock, I go to a practice site below an apartment building with my family to practice the exercises. Once when I was practicing the exercises with my eyes closed, I felt that dazzling golden beams were shining on the practice site. I thought, “It is nighttime now and the sky is very dark so that cannot be sunshine.” I opened my eyes to see where the beams were coming from. When I looked around, I discovered that those beams were caused by a golden star that was slowly falling. The star stopped when it was near the ground and there was a divine being inside. He wore white garments, had a red dot between his eyebrows, and a 卍 on the front of his chest. He was smiling as he watched us practice the exercises and he waited till we finished practicing the exercises before he flew back into the sky together with the golden star.
Witnessing the Miraculous Nature of Dafa During Group Exercise
Once when we were doing group exercises at Bishan Park, I was standing in the back row. I was doing the Falun Standing Stance with my eyes closed when someone moved my arms to correct my movement. I thought that it was that veteran practitioner who was helping me correct my movements. However, when I opened my eyes to see, I was shocked because there was no one near me who could have been there to correct my movements. Everyone was doing their exercise movements and that veteran practitioner was standing right at the right, which was very far from me. However, someone did move my arms to correct my exercise movement. Puzzled, I looked around and continued to search for the person who had helped me correct my exercise movement. Just then, I discovered a divine being at the side of the practice site. His image was similar to that of Master’s portrait that is hanging on the wall of the Falun Buddha Society (Singapore). However, his body was golden in color and he was wearing golden clothes surrounded by golden clouds. One of his hands was holding a pink lotus flower steadily in front of his chest and there seemed to be some treasure in that lotus flower. His other stretched-out arm was giving off golden light that was shining on my body. I suddenly realized that it was those golden beams, that came from Master, that were correcting my exercise movements.
Thank you Master for your benevolent care and protection. The golden rays that were shining into my body made me feel warm and very comfortable. After that, Master sent a beam of golden light to every female Dafa practitioner followed by every male practitioner. Master’s other hand kept holding on to that pink lotus flower in front of his chest and he he kept smiling until we finished practicing the exercises, before flying back to the Heavens.
I am writing out these encounters at the two practice sites to share with fellow practitioners, hoping that all of us can cherish our group practice environment in Singapore. Master’s law bodies and the righteous divine beings are always by our sides, looking after and protecting us.
Conclusion
The human world is a big dye vat. As I get older, I have also developed many attachments and my xinxing has deteriorated. That brings about some interference. This has made me realize the importance of improving my xinxing and sending forth righteous thoughts. I am taking the opportunity of this Fa conference to write these things down in the hope of sharing my cultivation experiences and give everyone encouragement. Let’s cultivate diligently and do the three things well together so that we can follow Master home.
Thank you, Master for your benevolent salvation!
Thank you Master!
Thank you fellow practitioners!
