(Minghui.org) I remember that on the day I learned about Falun Dafa I was herding sheep on the mountain. I was feeling sick and exhausted, such that I burst into tears. I knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky, saying, “Why am I suffering so much? Is there a way to be free of this?” Just then, I saw a large Buddha statue shimmering with golden light on the mountaintop. The image disappeared when I ran up towards it.
After I returned home, someone approached me and asked if I wanted to learn Falun Dafa, and I said yes. I was 51 years old that year, and my eyesight was failing. But when I read Zhuan Falun every character appeared magnified, and I quickly recognized characters that were previously unfamiliar to me. Master Li saved my life.
I am now 78 years old. I was plagued with many illnesses in the past and had no money for treatment, so I thought I was just waiting to die. Then I learned Dafa in 1999, and Master purified my body. I felt a wave of warm energy flow through my body, and the illnesses disappeared within a month.
My relatives, neighbors, friends, and classmates witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa and later withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations. When one person cultivates Dafa, the whole family benefits. My family now believes that Dafa can save people, and they also received blessings as a result.
I’ve had many miraculous experiences while cultivating Dafa. I’m not educated and not good at expressing myself, but I understand things in my heart.
My husband’s older brother-in-law was 87 years old this year. He unexpectedly passed away at home earlier this year. It took four people to dress him because his body was already stiff. When they finished dressing him, he let out a long breath and came back to life. He said, “My name was removed from hell. They said they couldn’t find my name on the list, so they sent me back.”
I had visited him two years ago and told him about Dafa and the persecution. He used his real name to withdraw from the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. Thus, he understood why his name had been removed from the list in hell after he came back to life. He had his son and daughter-in-law tell me about it and thank me. I told them to “Thank Master instead.” His son said, “Thank you, Master.”
Master teaches the Fa to offer salvation to all sentient beings, and instructs practitioners to assist him in Fa-rectification and saving people. I often think about my responsibility and put it into practice.
Another practitioner was going to send forth righteous thoughts with me at noon, and then go with me to a village to post and distribute truth-clarification fliers to save people. The village was about 2.5 miles away and we had to climb a ridge with graves on it. Something came up and the practitioner couldn’t go with me, so I went by myself and distributed the materials. I used to be very afraid of graves, but I wasn’t afraid at all this time, and I haven’t been afraid since.
Another time, I went to a village by myself in the middle of the night to distribute truth-clarification materials. The mountain roads were difficult to walk on, the ridges were steep, and it was pitch black. On my way back, a beam of light miraculously shone on the road and illuminated my way home. I felt that Master was by my side, so I quickened my pace, feeling as light as a swallow. I arrived home safely. We cannot walk on the path of saving people without Master’s protection. He has already paved and illuminated the way; all we have to do is to walk the path.
I took a village minibus to go out to clarify the truth to people one day in 2023. As I boarded the bus, the ticket seller said, “There are police at the front section of the bus. Stand in the back for a while.” The bus was full, and someone said, “It’s officially determined that Falun Dafa is a certain type of organization.”
I asked Master to strengthen my righteous thoughts. Then I patted the man on the back and recognized him when he turned around. I said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Falun Dafa is not an organization. You’re welcome to learn it if you have a predestined connection, and are free to leave if you don’t want to practice. It’s a Buddha Fa and our Master is here to offer salvation to people. Master teaches people to be kind and to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Falun Dafa is not illegal, and it complies with China’s Constitution. It’s the CCP that does not allow people to believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The morality in our society is declining. The low-level officials are corrupt, and the high-level officials are even more corrupt.”
Many passengers looked terrified for me. They stood up to see if the police officer up front heard what I said. Most of them knew that Dafa is good and were worried about me. That person stopped talking nonsense. With Master’s strengthening, I let go of fear and spoke up for Dafa. Master protected me and eliminated the bad elements.
I’ve been picking up Dafa truth-clarification materials from a production site every week for many years, rain or shine. I save the people I meet on the way there, unafraid of hardship or people’s misunderstandings, seeking no comfort, only hoping that the people can be saved.
After I sent forth righteous thoughts on the morning of March 1st of this year, I saw that the road was icy, so I decided to take the minibus to pick up the materials instead of riding my bike. The minibus was leaving just as I got to the main road, and I missed it. The Dafa materials production site was 6 miles away and it would take 90 minutes to walk there. There would be no other bus to take, so I decided to walk. I recited the poem “Righteous Thought, Righteous Action” from Hong Yin II as I walked:
“Great enlightened beings fear no hardshipTheir will is cast of diamondLife or death, they have no attachmentForthright and broad-minded on the road of Fa-rectification”(“Righteous Thought, Righteous Action” in Hong Yin II, Translation Version B)
After I walked for a long time, a car pulled over and offered me a ride. I said, “Thank you, but I’m almost there.” Then I thought I should tell him about Dafa, so I accepted his offer. I asked if he had heard about quitting the CCP for his safety, and he said no. I told him about the Mystical “Hidden Character Stone” in Guizhou Province that predicted the collapse of the CCP, and that he should withdraw from the Party. He agreed to quit using his real name. I gave him a Falun Dafa truth-clarification amulet and told him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” for his safety. I offered to pay him for the ride, but he declined, “You’re a kind person. Some people wouldn’t pay me even if I asked for it, but you’re willing to pay me even though I’m not asking for it. Thank you.”
I replied, “I’m a Dafa practitioner. Our Master teaches us to be kind and not take advantage of others. Please thank our Master instead.” He said, “Thank you, Master.”
I felt gratified knowing that he understood the goodness of Dafa and withdrew from the CCP.
My oldest son’s wife had a fiery temper and often snapped at me. When my son wasn’t home, she would order me around, shouting loudly and slamming the doors. I chose not to argue with her. I worked in the fields, and cooked dinner after I got home. But once the meal was ready and my son was about to come home, my daughter-in-law would come out of her room and say, “Mom, please come inside. I’ll take care of the rest of the dishes.”
We welcomed my son with smiles when he came home, and I never complained about his wife. Over time, my neighbors became fed up with my daughter-in-law’s behavior. I am a Dafa practitioner, so I endured it, and not only on the surface, I made sure not to harbor any anger towards her. I was worried about her and hoped she would improve. I offered her advice on how to conduct herself, but she wouldn’t listen.
Years later, I got into a car accident one day and was unconscious. I was covered in blood that came out of my mouth. My family rushed me to the hospital where I remained unconscious the rest of the afternoon. My son’s work colleagues came to visit me. My family was told to prepare for my funeral; they were terrified. I woke up and wanted to go home, but the hospital staff and my family wouldn’t let me go, so I stayed overnight. I knew I couldn’t move my back. Then in the middle of the night I felt a change in my body, and I asked someone to help me to the bathroom. I felt better and knew that Master had put my back into its proper alignment. A little tribulation was nothing under Master’s watch. I would have lost my life if I didn’t practice Dafa.
I asked to be discharged the next day, but the hospital staff and my family said no. I told them I was fine, that Master was helping me, and I would recover much faster if I studied the Fa and did the exercises at home. And I didn’t want any medication. The doctors were shocked by my recovery, being so quick; they considered it a miracle. They were convinced and agreed to let me go home.
After I returned home, my oldest and second daughters-in-law burned incense to express their gratitude to Master. My oldest daughter-in-law said, “Mom, you would have lost your life had you not learned Dafa. Why don’t you study the Fa on the kang (a heatable brick bed) and stay in bed?” I told them that I’m living proof that Master will protect me if I cultivate Dafa. My daughter-in-law offered fruit to Master and told me, “Mom, I believe what you said. Keep studying the Fa.” I felt good enough to resume my work in the fields after returning home, but my daughter-in-law wouldn’t let me. I survived a great calamity because Master protected me.
My oldest daughter-in-law was transformed after seeing the power of Dafa and the kindness of a practitioner, and she hasn’t snapped at me since. She believes in Dafa, is more understanding, and does her share of the work. My neighbors are now envious of my good relationship with her.
