(Minghui.org) When I began talking to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution over a decade ago, I felt my energy field was weak, and I wasn’t able to explain as well as the other practitioners who had more experience. I eventually figured out a way to talk to people, starting from everyday matters, and I used an indirect method to introduce Dafa to them.
I felt compelled to go to the riverbank one afternoon to clarify the truth. As I walked along the shore, I saw a woman sitting on a stone ledge by the embankment. She looked pale. I sat next to her and asked if she felt well. She replied, “I have cancer. I had surgery and I’m now undergoing chemotherapy.”
I said, “No wonder you look like you’re in a lot of pain.” She nodded, too weak to speak.
I sighed, and continued, “Being sick is miserable. My mother used to be in poor health. She inhaled too much chalk dust when she was a teacher. Her lungs were ruined by the time she reached her 70s. She was often hospitalized because she couldn’t breathe.
“My friend visited her one day and said, ‘I’m going to teach you a couple of auspicious phrases and you’ll feel better after you recite them.’
“My mother didn’t believe. She was in excruciating pain one time. No one could touch her, and she had difficulty moving on her own. We couldn’t take her to the hospital. Our housekeeper urged her, ‘Just recite the auspicious phrases. It won’t cost you a penny, so why don’t you give it a try?’
“With no other options, my mother said, ‘I might as well try saying the phrases.’ She recited the phrases for more than 20 minutes and broke out in a heavy sweat, and the pain was gone.”
The woman looked at me and asked eagerly, “That truly happened? Please teach me the phrases.”
I took out an amulet, which had information about Falun Dafa on it and handed it to her. “These are the auspicious phrases, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ My mother recited them every day after her positive experience, and she was never hospitalized again. She passed away peacefully at home at the age of 86.”
I then talked about Falun Dafa and the persecution. She set aside her doubts and listened intently. She said, “I’ve just recited in my heart ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Oh my! It felt like I was bound by many ropes before and they’ve all snapped now. What a relief! What a miracle!”
I offered to help her withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party’s affiliated organizations, and said that if she did, divine beings would protect her. She told me her name and asked me to help her quit the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers.
She was delighted and said, “My mind felt foggy before, but it’s clear now. I no longer feel drowsy!”
The woman had a radiant smile, like a withered flower that suddenly bloomed. She had such a young and beautiful face! I was truly stunned by her transformation.
She was overjoyed and asked for my contact information so that she could treat me for a meal. I said, “You don’t need to treat me. Our encounter is a predestined arrangement.”
She exclaimed, “What an amazing day! I was in Guangzhou finishing a round of chemotherapy. My sister felt sorry for me and invited me to stay with her a few days ago. I didn’t feel like going anywhere, but then decided to come to the riverbank today. And I ran into you. The chemo left me looking like a wreck, but I feel better and alive now!”
Over a decade has passed since then, yet her radiant smile still flashes before my eyes from time to time. I wonder where she is now. I’m glad we ran into each other, as we’ve fulfilled the promise we made long ago to meet at the riverbank and share about Falun Dafa.
