(Minghui.org) As practitioners, it’s our responsibility to cultivate ourselves well and help Master save sentient beings. Guided by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, I started with small things in daily life, so people could see how wonderful Falun Dafa is.
My village built a public laundry room which had access to free water. The villagers were very happy. As time passed some people left the faucet running, while others stole the stainless-steel drain covers from the sinks. Whenever I did my laundry I always turned off all the faucets.
I accidentally broke a faucet handle. The faucet still worked and no one noticed. Nevertheless, I gave the person in charge of managing the laundry room twenty yuan. She was surprised and said she didn’t notice any damage. I explained that half of the handle snapped off but it still worked. She insisted that I didn’t need to pay as this fell under normal wear and tear and the village would replace it.
I told her I practice Falun Dafa and our Master told us to hold ourselves to a high moral standard. After I repeatedly insisted, she finally accepted the money. Although this incident seemed trivial it left a deep impression on the villagers and everyone said, “Falun Dafa practitioners really are good people!”
Returning to One’s True Self
Although I’ve been doing three things Master asked us to do, I still have many human attachments and notions. Even though I fall short of Master’s expectations he constantly encourages me and restored my health. I look younger than I am but I know this is to validate the greatness of Dafa.
I am 64 years old. My menstrual cycle, which stopped ten years ago, returned this year. My skin is smooth and has a rosy, youthful glow. People who know me say, “Don’t tell people you’re 64. People would believe you if you said you’re 46!” Whenever the older villagers see me, they loudly say how youthful I look. I smile and tell them, “It’s because I practice Falun Dafa. If you acknowledge ‘Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good’, you will benefit too!” They often nod and say, “That’s wonderful!”
Our Home Envireonment
I came to realize that the home environment offers excellent cultivation opportunities and can help me eliminate my attachments. In 2020, my husband had a stroke and became infected with COVID. He was hospitalized three times. Since our children live elsewhere, I cared for him meticulously day and night, and I lost 20 pounds. My husband told all the visitors that he would’t even be alive without my devoted caring. My neighbors witnessed this and praised me. I told my husband, “I cannot take credit for Heaven’s work. It is entirely because you believe Dafa is good and support my cultivation, that you were rewarded with good. Our great Master saved you, as well as our family. We should be eternally grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation.” He wholeheartedly agreed and began saying “Falun Dafa is Good” every day.
While he was hospitalized, the doctors, nurses, patients and their family members all said how fortunate my husband was to have such a filial “daughter” who devotedly took care of him (due to my youthful appearance). My husband proudly corrected them and said, “This is my wife!” They all looked at us with envy. I naturally took this opportunity to clarify the truth about Dafa and encourage them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Validating Dafa While Illegally Detained
Once, I was reported to the authorities by malicious individuals while clarifying the truth face-to-face and distributing Dafa materials. I was taken to a police station where I was forcibly subjected to blood tests and fingerprinting. The police handcuffed me and announced that I was to be sent to a detention center in another city for ten days’ detention. Throughout the process, the conduct of the CCP personnel was utterly evil. I questioned them, “What crime did I commit that you treat me this way? Heaven is watching everything you do.” A male and female police scoffed, “Then let us be struck by lightning!” They forced me inside a police car. My attachment to saving face and pride surged and I felt frustrated.
They took me to the hospital for a physical examination. There were six police officers and two criminals inside the car, yet I was the only one in handcuffs. When arrived at the hospital, everyone including patients and doctors stared at me. I thought, “I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner and I am doing the most righteous thing in the universe. I should let the people see the CCP’s true nature.”
I exclaimed loudly, “I practice Falun Dafa! The police are persecuting the good people!” A police officer whispered, “If you just sign a statement saying you’ll stop practicing, this will all be over. Why are you making a scene?” I replied, “I greatly benefited from Falun Dafa. My illnesses were resolved and it didn’t cost me a penny. I cannot let Master down, nor betray my conscience. Falun Dafa is righteous! Tell me, how could I possibly sign such a statement?” He remained silent.
After the physical examination I was taken to detention center. Six policemen guarded the gate. I was suddenly gripped by fear, “My physical examination shows everything is normal. The CCP is known to harvest practitioners’ organs while they are alive. My life could be in danger.” My heart began to race. I immediately realized that this unrighteous thought did not come from my true self. Master is always by my side and there is nothing to fear. I let go the fear of the death and entrusted myself entirely to Master.
As soon as my righteous thoughts emerged, I felt a great Falun spinning powerfully above my head, lifting my body as if I were about to float. I remained in this state throughout my ten-day imprisonment. Tears of gratitude streamed down my face because I realized Master is constantly encouraging and guiding me. I understood that he meticulously arranged my cultivation path and my mission is to help him save people. I just need to have righteous thoughts!
I treated everyone I encountered with kindness, regarding the endurance of hardship as a joy. A detained petitioner’s blood pressure soared to 230. She refused to eat and drink, and collapsed in the restroom. The guards were afraid of being held liable, yet they refused to release her. I tended to her with great care and offered her spiritual comfort, sharing the greatness of Dafa and the principle of “no loss, no gain.” Her emotions stabilized, and her physical condition gradually returned to normal. The prison guards and all the inmates in the cell witnessed this transformation.
She told me, “I am incredibly lucky to have met you—what a profound predestined relationship! Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget you.” Over the ten days, everyone in the cell learned the truth about Dafa and withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
During the daily half-hour outdoor recreation period, a guard took the initiative to talk to me, “Falun Dafa is good. Please practice at home and don’t go out and distribute materials. Everyone knows how evil the CCP really is.”
The day before I was released, an officer spoke to me loudly in front of everyone, “You’re going home tomorrow. I’ve been observing you and noticed your mental state is truly excellent, and you look so young.” I smiled and replied loudly, “This is because I practice Falun Dafa. So, my mind and body keep getting younger. If you believe Dafa is good, you’ll become youthful too!” He nodded, “Please be careful. There are surveillance cameras everywhere.” Everyone looked at me with admiration. At that moment, I felt I did what I came there to do and I was filled with great joy.
Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation!
