(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1999, after the persecution had begun, when I was suffering from illnesses and was in constant pain. Dafa gave me good health, and since practicing I have witnessed the extraordinary and magnificent power of Dafa. I would like to report my cultivation experiences to Master Li and validate the miraculous power of Dafa and the greatness of Master.
Dafa Resolved My Health Issues
In 1999, I was only in my 30s, yet I was suffering from many chronic health issues, including migraines, costochondritis, bronchitis, and constipation. During childbirth I developed rectal prolapse and anal fissures. Going to the bathroom was extremely painful.
My aunt practiced Falun Dafa, and recovered from all her illnesses. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa in July 1999, she continued to cultivate. She saw my many illnesses and what I went through every day, and she wanted to help. She told me about the greatness of Dafa and shared her health experiences, and she repeatedly urged me to give Dafa a try. Due to my being educated with the CCP’s atheist ideology, I had no concept of deities or cultivation, so what she said did not make sense to me. Having never encountered qigong, I did not believe such a thing could relieve my pain.
My aunt said, “Like eating a pear, you only know whether it’s sweet or not by taking a bite. It won’t harm you. Why don’t you give it a try?”
Seeing her heartfelt concern, I replied: “Aunty, rest assured that I will practice this time no matter what.” With this thought, a miracle occurred.
It used to take me 40 minutes every morning to use the bathroom. However, on the morning after I said I wanted to cultivate, I was on the toilet for only two minutes. And there was no bleeding or any of the usual issues. I was so happy and kept bowing in reverence to Master. Is Master Li Hongzhi taking care of me because I said I would practice no matter what? Dafa is amazing!
From then on, I took Fa study and doing the exercise seriously. Before I knew it, all the health issues that used to torture me were gone, and I experienced the feeling of being free of illness. Since then, I have had no need to take a single pill. I am truly grateful to Master from the bottom of my heart.
My Mother’s Predestined Connection with Dafa
My mom was known as the “iron woman” (someone who can endure hardship) in our area. She was born into a poor family and did hard manual labor everyday, suffered, and was beaten and mistreated. Mom never had a good day and developed many chronic issues over the years. Seeing how I had recovered from such serious illnesses, my mom also started cultivating Dafa.
On my mom’s first day of doing the Dafa exercises, Master opened her celestial eye. And she saw Master turn the exercise music cassette over for us. Six months into cultivation, mom’s celestial eye saw that her body was as transparent as glass, and that she had achieved a pure-white body, just like Master said in Zhuan Falun. While doing the seated meditation, she felt a compassionate and peaceful field of energy surrounding her, eliminating all negative thoughts and leaving only inner peace and tranquility. Mom often told me about the miraculous scenes she saw in other dimensions, which increased our faith in cultivation.
My Mom had only studied the Fa teachings for a short time and did not know how to evaluate things based on the Fa. She felt she had lived an exhausting and hard life. Furthermore, when she was young, a fortune teller was only able to foresee her life up to 65 years old. This had been a burden in her heart. At that time, she did not know to deny arrangements made by the old forces.
Having worked her whole life and never taken a holiday or single day off, Mom suddenly went to visit her side of the family. She spent a month with her relatives and resolved any grudges they had in the past. Mom told me many times: “I no longer have any desires. How could I have lost all desires?” Mom fell from a greenhouse while working and died. She was 65 years old.
My mom’s sudden death left me completely stunned. I didn’t understand how this could have happened? I had only been practicing Falun Dafa for a short time and didn’t know how to think about it based on the Fa. I could not believe that my mom had died, and I didn’t understand that everyone’s life has it’s own path and destiny. Because I couldn’t let go of the feelings for my mother, I was in a mental fog for a while. Then a month after my mom passed away, I dreamed that I was kneeling down and begging Master to let me see my mom one more time. My mom instantly appeared in front of me, and I hugged her and cried loudly. Master granted me my wish, and at the same time, pointed out that I should let go of my sentimentality. Other practitioners also encouraged me to put down this attachment.
In another dream, Mom and I were running on a smooth, straight path. At the end of the path the setting sun shone brightly, and the evening clouds were glowing. It was a truly magnificent sight. Towering trees lined each side of the path. As I ran I fell into a mud pit. No matter how hard I tried, I could not pull myself out. Looking up, I saw that mom had already reached the end of the path, while I was still stuck in the mud pit. I got anxious and woke up.
Through Fa study, I realized that, as a cultivator, I must let go of attachments and not view the karmic connection with my mom with human sentiment. Mom’s predestined connection with Dafa, her cultivation path, and the status she attained are things I cannot see or view with human notions. From a cultivation perspective, my mom worked and endured hardship her whole life to repay her karma. All these are good things. Master has made the best arrangements for mom.
One night, as I laid down to sleep, a dark cloud pressed down on me. I immediately knew this substance was sentimentality, and I did not want it! With that thought, the dark material disintegrated. From then on, the attachment to my mom became less and less, and I was able to let it go.
Cultivating My Xinxing in the Family Environment
One day I prepared a few dishes and a pot of noodles. The family sat down to eat. My father-in-law suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said, “You just go through the motions every day!” I was a little confused and asked what was wrong. He replied, “Do you know any family who eats noodles without sauce?”
I was stunned for a moment, then replied, “Dad, don’t get upset, I will make it right now.” While making the sauce, I thought: “I am a cultivator, and cultivators have to think about others, especially the elderly. He is an elder in our family, so I should treat him well. He should enjoy what I can do for him as a Dafa practitioner.” As I calmly put the sauce on the table, my father-in-law realized he had over-reacted and was a little embarrassed. He tried to make it up to me by putting food in my bowl.
At group Fa study the next day, I sat very comfortably in the lotus position. My legs felt as relaxed as noodles. Regardless of how long I sat in that position, they did not hurt. I sensed Master’s compassion. It was clear to me that I had followed Dafa’s teachings when I was confronted by my father-in-law the previous day. Master was encouraging me and took away quite a bit of karma from me.
When my mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital, her 92-year-old mother-in-law (my husband’s grandmother) was left at home without care. I brought Grandma to stay with us. Grandma was blind. I helped her bathe, washed her clothes, clipped her nails, cut her hair, prepared food that suited her taste, and kept her favorite snacks within her reach. As a visual and safety aid, I tied a rope between her bed and the bathroom, so she could get to the bathroom when I was at work. When Grandma had a vertigo attack, I stayed with her all night. She said to me with teary eyes: “My grandson’s wife is so nice to me. I will become a chicken in my next lifetime and will lay an egg for you to eat every day.”
I responded, “Grandma, I cultivate Dafa, and our Master teaches us to treat everyone nicely. If I did not practice Falun Dafa, I would not be able to do what I do. Just recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good!’ and your health will improve.”
Every day since then, Grandma said, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good! Greetings to Master!” She lived with us for several years. Sometimes when the weather was good, I helped her down the stairs to bask in the sun. Grandma occasionally did things to me to help me elevate my xinxing. One time she scolded me for not cooking for her. I asked her: “Grandma, why do you scold me?”
She laughed, and said, “I am helping you to elevate your xinxing.”
Grandma praised me to everyone she met, saying that her grandson’s wife is great. Through her, all the neighbors in our community know Falun Dafa practitioners are good people.
Clarifying the Truth About Falun Dafa
When I worked at a bathhouse, Master arranged for me to meet many predestined people to save. When my xinxing was solid, just a few sentences was enough to help someone understand the truth behind the persecution of Falun Dafa. I felt it was miraculous. In fact, Master has already arranged all of this and then brings the predestined people to us to save. Master gives us opportunities to increase our virtue. My every step is inseparable from Master’s protection and strengthening.
I met an elderly woman and told her about Dafa’s healing power, the greatness of Dafa, and the importance of quitting the CCP. She gladly quit the organizations she had joined. The next time she came to the bathhouse, she pointed at me, and said to her friends, “This is my master.”
I said, “Aunty, please don’t say that. There is only one Master in Falun Dafa. Just remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good!’ Sincerely reciting it will bring blessings.”
The woman replied, “I recite it everyday, and I tell others to recite it too.”
My husband never objected to my clarifying the truth in public. Because he has righteous thoughts about Dafa, he has also received blessings. Master said: “... with one person practicing, the whole family benefits …” (Teachings at the Conference in Australia) My husband was in several accidents at work, but he was not harmed, and he never asked his employer for compensation.
Conclusion
On my path of cultivation, there were stumbles, moments of joy after overcoming xinxing tests, and frustrations when I could not let go of attachments. Master has protected me along the way and helped me hold on to my righteous thoughts. There is no way of knowing how much Master had endured for our cultivation or the effort put into our improvement.
I am not yet solid in my cultivation, as my heart is often moved by sentimentality. I am also not doing as well as I should with the three things. Nevertheless, under Dafa’s guidance, I will continue to improve.
I want to thank Master by staying diligent in cultivation.
