(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who obtained the Fa in 1998. Before cultivating, I suffered from headaches, heart disease, rhinitis, and other diseases. I recovered after studying the Fa, and felt light and healthy.
After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its persecution on July 20, 1999, I went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa and clarify the facts about the practice. CCP personnel subsequently harassed me during all of the CCP’s sensitive dates. The police illegally arrested practitioners in my area in 2010. The police found several copies of the Minghui Weekly and Falun Dafa books in my home. I sent righteous thoughts so that no one could take the Dafa books. As expected, they left without paying attention to these books.
I would like to share a few stories about how I strengthened my righteous thoughts and eliminated attachments during my cultivation.
Experiencing the Power of Sending Righteous Thoughts
I have cultivated with my supernormal powers locked, so I thought that my righteous thoughts were not strong and that I had no energy. Additionally, I was not focused during the process of sending righteous thoughts, and therefore had no confidence in the effect.
I read stories from the Minghui Weekly about fellow practitioners who had strong righteous thoughts, which helped me believe that I could do it too. I began to study more Fa and Master’s lectures. I then joined other practitioners to hang banners and distribute fliers to spread the truth about Dafa. When going out, we sent forth righteous thoughts to prevent the evil from interfering with us or being able to remove the banners from the utility poles. Sure enough, the banners displaying “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” stayed in place for a long time. Since then, with Master Li Hongzhi’s help, I have felt that my righteous thoughts have become stronger.
Master said:
“Perhaps everyone has heard this statement in Buddhism, “When one’s Buddha-nature emerges, it will shake the World of Ten Directions.” Whoever sees it will come to give a hand and help this person out unconditionally. In providing salvation to humankind, the Buddha School does not attach any condition or seek returns, and it will help unconditionally. Accordingly, we can do many things for students.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
Overcoming Sickness Karma with Righteous Thoughts
I began to operate a small business in 2014, and spent little effort in cultivation. In the third month of the lunar calendar in 2021, I felt dizzy and weak as soon as I arrived at the market, so I returned home and went to sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I couldn’t move half of my body and could not even control my bladder when going to the bathroom.
My daughter cried, seeing my condition. I told her, “Don’t cry. I am fine. Master is watching over me.” My husband is also a Dafa practitioner. I told him to take me to a fellow practitioner, who would drive me to her spare house and help take care of me.
When the fellow practitioner got out of the car to get a wheelchair for me, I thought, "As a cultivator, I should walk by myself." I tried to get out of the car with all my strength, but I fell onto the grass next to the road.
When the fellow practitioner returned with a wheelchair and saw me covered with grass, she asked why I didn’t wait for her. I said that I wanted to walk by myself. She laughed. I knew my thought was right, and she encouraged me.
I needed her to help me with my basic needs. I drank and ate less, so I wouldn’t trouble her too much in taking me to the toilet. I endured the blisters in my mouth from drinking less water. I spent more time sending righteous thoughts, doing the exercises, and studying the Fa.
On the third day, my toes suddenly moved. From then on, I could hold onto the wall to use the toilet by myself. I said, “I am fine. I can walk. Thank you, Master, for blessing me.” I stayed there for over a month and then returned home.
Back home, I closed down my small business and let go of my desire for profit. I studied the Fa and did the exercises every day. I even began to create materials to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa. I often used currency bills with the facts about Dafa written on them. I also exchanged these bills with other business people I had already told the truth about Dafa to, so they were all willing to use them. I also delivered the truth-clarifying calendars promptly, rain or shine, to other fellow practitioners every year.
Removing Resentment
I was a very stubborn person. I didn’t like people to tell me my faults, even if I was wrong. My husband believes in Master and the Fa, and Master often enlightens him. When he reads The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection, he can see Master’s photo moving. Although my husband is usually very nice to other people, he was picky with me, and I wouldn’t give in. Being impatient, I easily got anxious and cried when I felt wronged. I could not help but argue with him because of my attachment to fighting, resentment, and the desire to not let others correct me. One time, after quarreling, I thought of Master’s Fa:
“As a cultivatorOne always looks for one’s own faults’Tis the Way to get rid of attachments most effectivelyThere’s no way to skip ordeals, big or small[During a conflict, if you can remember:]“He’s right,And I’m wrong,”What’s to dispute?”(“Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong,” Hong Yin III)
I suddenly realized that my attachments to fighting and resentment, and the desire to not let others correct me caused these troubles. I thought, “Am I a cultivator when my behavior is not compliant with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance? Am I worthy of Master’s compassion and salvation?”
Since then, I have studied more Fa, sent more righteous thoughts, cleared bad thoughts, looked at myself first when encountering conflicts, focused on the good in others, and aligned my responses with the Fa. My husband and I are now making progress together in cultivation, doing things to assist the Master in Fa-rectification, and, in the end, consummate and return home with Master.
