College Entrance Exams and Righteous Beliefs

Sept. 24, 2002 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) The College Entrance Exams, the only path to attending college, occur only once a year in China. For me, they were also a test of my righteous beliefs.

Before the exams, another practitioner and I openly clarified the truth to the other students in our main teacher's classes. Afterwards, we did not think "If we expose the evil we will be persecuted," which I see as wrong thinking, but sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference and persecution. As a result, not only were we not persecuted, but we were both given "good student" awards by the school.

The day before the exams, I felt dizzy and weak, and my mind was unclear. At first, I fell into an ordinary person's thinking process and attributed this to the pressure and reaction to the exams, which allowed my unclear thinking to last throughout the first day of the exam. On the second day of the exam, I awoke at 5 a.m. to find that I was feverish and my head would make a "woo" sound whenever I moved it. All of my family members are practitioners, so we started to think from the Fa: Teacher always chose for my body-cleansing processes [which may manifest as discomfort in the body] to occur during the holiday periods so they never prevented me from attending my school courses. This time, if it were a true body-cleansing process, why did it happen during the college entrance exams? This must not be a body-cleansing arranged by Teacher but a form of evil persecution--it wanted me to fail the exams and destroy Dafa's reputation. Furthermore it also knew that nothing could affect the righteous beliefs of the practitioners who have experienced various "tests" and persecution, so it could only persecute my body. Just like Teacher said, "It is bad, it is venomous, and it is evil. And just like poison, if you want it not to poison people it can't do that--that's just how it is." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2001 Canada Fa Conference," Guiding the Voyage). After we enlightened to this, my whole family sat down and started sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. We finished around 7 a.m., and my physical status became better and better. Within half an hour, the fever completely disappeared. When I started writing the exam at 9 a.m., my mind was clear and the discomfort in my body had disappeared.

Due to Teacher's compassion and caring as well as my success in eliminating the evil, the results of the exam were very good. In two subjects, my marks were the highest, and my total score was 40 points higher than my best record. In addition, the miracle Dafa manifested in my body spread through my school and further validated the greatness of Dafa.

Looking at Teacher's picture, my family and I could not stop our tears. Recalling these miracles, I suddenly realized: In today's great moment, the evil is nothing. The degree to which it can damage Dafa depends on Dafa practitioners' beliefs. If you give it importance or have doubts and fears, you will follow the dark path it arranges; if you keep a righteous mind and behavior, an incomparably bright and spectacular path arranged by Dafa will welcome you.

Tens of thousands of words form one sentence: Thank you Teacher, Dafa is marvelous!
