(Minghui.org) I’ve practiced Falun Dafa for years. My health greatly improved. I’ve become optimistic and learned to consider others first. I also experienced many remarkable things. I often silently recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I’d like to share a few stories of people I encountered who seemed predestined to hear about Dafa.
A Chance Encounter
One autumn afternoon about two years ago as I was leaving my apartment, I saw an elderly woman I never saw before. She was in the garden, busily trimming persimmon vines. I paused, and she looked up at me with a warm, radiant smile. I thought, “We are destined to meet.” I walked over and greeted her, “Hello, Auntie. This is the first time I’ve seen you here.”
She replied, “I’ve hardly been outside for years because of my poor health. Today the weather is so nice, I thought I’d come to the garden. I don’t know when you’ll see me again.”
I said, “I have something good to tell you. Falun Dafa is a Buddha Fa that teaches people to be good. Please don’t believe the lies spread by the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. Just remember that Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She agreed. I asked if she joined any of the CCP’s organizations. She said she hadn’t. She was cheerful and even offered to pick persimmons for me, though I politely declined.
One afternoon last March, I went out for a walk. It was chilly, and the streets were almost empty. As I walked, a thin, middle-aged woman passed me with her head down. I hesitated, not wanting to disturb her. I was about to step into a clothing store when I suddenly heard her cough. A thought came to me: “She is a predestined person. I can’t miss this opportunity.” I turned around and said, “I heard you coughing.” Seeing she wasn’t wearing a mask, I said, “COVID is still spreading, and many people are getting infected. Hospitals are crowded with patients of all ages, and some people die from high fevers in just a few days. You seem like a kind person. Please remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ I’m not asking you to practice it, only to remember these words. Please don’t oppose Dafa and don’t believe the CCP’s lies. It will benefit you.”
She replied, “Sure, I don’t object.” Then she asked if I knew where she could buy a flowerpot. I pointed out a nearby shop and offered to walk with her.
On the way, I asked if she ever joined the CCP or its related organizations. She said she had. I explained that quitting the CCP would keep her from being implicated when it collapses, and that it would bring her safety during natural and man-made disasters. Before we reached the flower shop she agreed to quit.
Later that day, I went into a supermarket to buy fruit. When I came out, another woman stopped me and pointed at my shoes. “Where can I get those? I really like the style.”
I told her, “They’re winter shoes, and I just checked—they’re out of stock now. But let me recommend another store.” We crossed the street together, and I intended to leave. She insisted I go inside with her so the salesperson could see my shoes. As we browsed I told her about quitting the CCP. She was delighted and said, “I met the right person today. What you said really resonated with me.”
She bought a pair of shoes and was very happy. I quietly reminded her, “Please remember ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She told me that she doesn’t believe in anything. I reassured her, “I’m not asking you to believe in or practice Dafa. Just don’t oppose it or slander it.”
“Alright, I won’t,” she responded. She then quit the CCP. We left the store together, and I accompanied her to the bus stop. She told me she often goes somewhere to play the piano, and that I could find her there.
Conclusion
Looking back on these encounters, I see that the people I meet may appear to cross my path by chance, but they are not accidental. When we cultivate boundless compassion as Master asks us to, we can help him save those predestined to hear the truth.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dafa!
