(Minghui.org) A local practitioner, Weiyi, told me many amazing stories about her clarifying the truth to people in China and Canada. I was very touched by these stories and wrote some of them down to share.
Fifteen years ago, Weiyi worked for a property management company in an office building in mainland China. One day after work, she was walking home when she came across an old lady sitting under a tree. The lady was sitting in a chair, holding both hands over her ears, looking as if she was in great pain.
Weiyi went over to greet the old lady and learned that her ears were full of pus, she had a constant headache, and was restless day and night. Weiyi chatted with the old lady, told her about Falun Dafa, and told her to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to help alleviate her pain. The old lady wanted to learn the words immediately. Weiyi taught her, word by word, and urged her to recite them sincerely and often. The old lady nodded continuously and began to recite the words over and over.
The next day, Weiyi passed by again. The old lady spotted her from a distance and ran over to greet her. She thanked Weiyi, saying, “The auspicious phrases are truly miraculous! I’ve been repeating them in my heart ever since I got home, and my head no longer hurts, and my ears aren’t discharging pus anymore. I can’t even remember how many days and nights I endured it, but I finally had a good night’s sleep last night. I felt healthy and refreshed when I woke up this morning, as if I had endless energy.”
The lady had been waiting there all day for Weiyi. She was grateful to Weiyi for teaching her the auspicious phrases that had eliminated the chronic illness that had caused her so much suffering. She also wanted to say goodbye, as she had decided to return home to tell the villagers about her miraculous experience.
The old lady sighed, “Most people in my village are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled. They really need their family’s care, but unfortunately, no one can take care of them. It’s truly pitiful. All the young and able-bodied people from the village have gone to work in distant cities, working tirelessly to barely make ends meet.”
She said happily, “I’m going back to tell everyone in the village to recite the auspicious phrases! I hope they can all get better like me.”
One evening, well past office hours, the building was nearly empty when Weiyi left work. As she walked past an open office door, she saw a middle-aged woman she knew well, still sitting at her desk, lost in thought.
The woman greeted her and Weiyi asked, “Why are you still here?”
The woman said, “My back pain is acting up again. It’s been worse these days. Every time I stand up or move around, it hurts so badly that I can’t take it. I had to sit down and rest a while before leaving.”
Weiyi said, “That’s not a good solution. No matter how long you sit here, it’ll still hurt just as much once you stand up or move around. Why don’t you come with me and practice Falun Dafa?”
This woman had previously practiced Falun Dafa. After the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting Falun Gong in July 1999, she faced pressure from her workplace and neighborhood. Also, her husband frequently beat and verbally abused her in an attempt to stop her from practicing Falun Dafa, so she stopped.
She worried that her back pain would prevent her from doing the exercises. However, at Weiyi’s urging, she stood up and began doing the first set of Falun Dafa exercises. It had been years since she last practiced, and she couldn’t remember the movements.
She followed Weiyi’s movements and began to practice. Her movements were initially awkward and unfamiliar, but gradually became more familiar. She went from stiff and clumsy, to smooth and graceful; from heavy and laborious, the movements became lighter and more powerful. Before she knew it, the woman had completed the first set of exercises and was delighted to discover that her excruciating back pain had completely disappeared!
Earlier, the pain had been so severe that she could only sit in her chair, enduring it with great difficulty, unable to even walk to the restroom just down the hallway. Now that the pain was gone, she urgently needed to use the restroom. When she returned, she looked even more relaxed.
She thanked Weiyi profusely, saying in amazement, “I still can’t believe this is real! Just a few minutes ago, I couldn’t even move without excruciating pain in my back, but now I feel completely fine! Falun Dafa is truly miraculous!”
Early one morning, Weiyi went to the Falun Dafa truth-clarification booth in Toronto’s Chinatown to hand out truth-clarification flyers to passersby, especially Chinese people.
Just then, a young Chinese man crossed the road and ran up to Weiyi. He asked her to help him make a statement on the Epoch Times website declaring his withdrawal from the CCP and related organizations, and nullifying all the oaths he had taken when he joined.
The young man looked worried and told Weiyi, “Actually, I came here a few months ago, and another person helped me withdraw from the CCP and related organizations. I am a Christian and attend a Chinese church. When I mentioned my decision to withdraw from the CCP to other church members, some of them spoke badly about Falun Dafa and urged me not to believe it and not to withdraw from the Communist Party.”
The young man said he gave in to their persuasion and returned to the website to cancel his withdrawal from the Communist Party. Unexpectedly, a few days later, he encountered a strange incident that endangered his life. He was overcome with anxiety that this might be the evil spirit of communism coming to claim his life, in fulfillment of the oath that he had sworn under the banner of the Chinese Communist Party.
Then the night before, his late grandfather, who had passed away many years ago and had always been the most loving relative to him, appeared to him in a dream.
His grandfather told him that because he had been a member of the Chinese Communist Party during his lifetime, he had been suffering in hell ever since he passed away and was now begging his favorite grandson to help him declare his withdrawal from the Party in the human world.
His grandfather repeatedly urged him, “I have already passed away and fallen into hell. I must receive help from my living relatives, and it must be done using my real name and full name, making a solemn declaration of withdrawal from the CCP, so that I can be truly saved and escape the endless suffering of hell. I also hope that all my living and deceased relatives will declare their withdrawal from the CCP and escape the torments of hell.”
The young man woke in a panic, rushed out early that morning, and came to the truth-clarification booth on his way to work. He asked Weiyi to help him re-publish his three withdrawals statement. He also helped his grandfather solemnly withdraw from the CCP using his real name.
After Weiyi helped him, the young man’s face immediately relaxed, as if he had become a different person. He thanked her repeatedly, waved goodbye, and rushed off to work.
Falun Gong practitioners in Toronto, Canada have been in front of the Chinese Consulate for decades, protesting against the persecution and spreading the truth. They are a part of the daily landscape.
The day before the outbreak of COVID-19, Weiyi was in front of the Chinese consulate introducing Falun Dafa and exposing the CCP’s persecution to people who came to do business there.
In the morning, before the consulate opened, some people were already waiting in line. The last person in line was an older woman who looked a little unusual. Everyone else stood in line, but she sat on a small stool.
Weiyi approached the older woman and learned that she was sitting because she had a chronic back condition, making it difficult for her to walk or stand for long. She planned to wait until the consulate opened, at which point her husband and son would come to help her slowly go inside to complete the necessary procedures.
Weiyi told the woman, “You can try to silently recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ It has the power of the Buddha’s teachings and will definitely help you.” The old lady was interested and wanted to learn to recite the words. Weiyi taught her to recite it three times before she could remember it.
After finishing the third repetition, the elderly lady suddenly stood up, picked up her stool, and quickly walked across the street to where her car was parked. Weiyi thought, “This is a bit strange,” but didn’t think much of it and continued clarifying the truth to the other people waiting in line.
A short while later, a young man approached Weiyi, “Hello, thank you so much! My mother rushed over just now and told us with great excitement that she recited ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ three times, and her back pain immediately disappeared. Falun Dafa is truly amazing! My mother urged us to come over and thank you.”
Weiyi saw that behind the young man were his mother and father. Weiyi was so happy for his mother. She told them more about Falun Dafa, the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution, the book “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” and explained why people need to do the three withdrawals for safety. After listening, the family of three asked her to help them declare their three withdrawals online.
They asked Weiyi for all the materials so they could read more when they got home. After they left the Consulate, they picked up the bag of materials, thanked Weiyi again, and then happily left.
