(Clearwisdom.net) I often recall how I felt lost and helpless before attaining the Fa. In those days, I always felt there was something important for me to do some day. I kept looking for it but didn't know what it was. When I finished reading Zhuan Falun for the first time (I had borrowed it from a friend who was a graduate student one grade above me), I was filled with joy. I quickly told nearly all my friends about how wonderful it was. Since I didn't have the book to read a second and third time, I was soon bogged down again in the misery of fame, material interest and emotion.
In 1998, another female graduate student who was a grade below me said to me, "Why don't you study Zhuan Falun?" I blurted out, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." In fact, that's all I had remembered, but I was awakened at last. I started to read all Dafa books; burned my phony Qigong books; went to the free of charge practice site in the city to watch video tapes of Master's lectures for nine consecutive days (even the rain couldn't stop me); practiced the exercises with fellow practitioners with different occupations at the practice site on campus; spread the Fa to many people, whether I knew them or not; and bought over a dozen 10 copies of Zhuan Falun (plus my own handwritten copy) to give to my relatives, friends and other predestined people. Several graduate students and teachers at the university went to older practitioners' homes in the city to study the books and to share experiences. Every time, the auspicious field of the gathered practitioners made us unwilling to leave. Men and women, old and young, with different occupations, all sat together genially, peacefully and harmoniously with no mingled thoughts. Only Dafa has such mighty virtue; only Dafa can produce such a pure land.
Since the beginning of my cultivation, Master often gave hints for me to improve my xinxing [mind or heart nature] and to pay attention to safety issues. Master's photo often looks happy or serious, depending on whether I do well or poorly. Under the guidance of Master, I broke away from associating with all other things that were not righteous. I left behind fighting for fame and material interests and indulging lust. I started to consider others and my xinxing improved more and more. I became a new person, and it's Dafa that changed me.
Even today, whenever I recall that day in 1998, I feel happier than ever. That day, I suddenly entered into tranquility and I felt so peaceful that I couldn't move at all. Then I saw Master sitting in front of me with golden light around him. Our mighty and solemn Master Buddha looked at me with boundless benevolence. Although he didn't say any words, I heard clearly his earnest and tireless teaching.
In the past several years, Master has given me guanding [pouring energy into the top of one's head] every day, and every time I could feel clearly that bursts of warm energy come down from the top of my head. I could feel guanding from Master at different times: when I was sending forth righteous thoughts, preparing truth-clarifying materials in front of the computer, reading Dafa books or considering things of the Fa.
Several years ago, when I was first doing sitting meditation, I could clearly hear the turning sounds of Falun when my hand passed by my ear. Also, since practicing Dafa, I have recovered from several diseases. Before I started to cultivate, I had imagined how wonderful I would feel if I had no disease. I have been enjoying this feeling for the past several years. I haven't even caught any colds since then.
In 1997, Master's hint helped me to avoid a severe train accident. Many people on the train that I missed died or were seriously injured. For a long time, the media outlets in China were afraid to report the accident to avoid frightening the public.
A clothing factory director, who had read Zhuan Falun because of me, once had an accident when his car hit a big tree near a bridge crossing the Yellow River. The car was damaged severely and its front end was crushed in a half meter deep. He pulled his legs from the damaged front and there were no severe problems at all. He recovered completely in a very short time.
In 1998, I received a hint from Master in my dream and took a train to visit the mother of my classmate, who was more than 1,000 Li [about 500 km or 300 miles] away. My classmate's mother had uterine cancer. I visited the home of my classmate in 1989 and had received a warm welcome from his mother. I remember that she accompanied me a long way to see me off when I left the village and was deeply concerned whether I was cold. Nine years later when she had the cancer, I had a dream that she was walking toward me and seemed to be asking for help. So I set out to see her. Once she saw the book Zhuan Falun, she immediately started to read it. I taught the exercises to her and her son. She continues to live well. Dafa brings good fortunes.
A fellow practitioner had told me a story about her relative in the countryside. Her relative recovered from his cancer by cultivating Dafa. After July 22, 1999, her relative still publicly practiced the exercises nobly and fearlessly while herding cows.
Since the year 2000, I have seen countless silver lights flying and dancing all over the sky that appear to be Falun. If I get a camera, I would like to take pictures and magnify them so that I can show them to the ordinary people who don't believe it at all. With the coming of the Fa-rectification in the human world, those who have known the truth of Dafa through the efforts of practitioners, and who therefore have righteous thoughts of Dafa and treat Dafa kindly, will be able to see it soon.
Since July 20, 1999, I have tried all kinds of ways to clarify the truth: through the Internet, by mailing letters or by directly clarifying the truth to people. Since I have strong righteous thoughts (I have been under the protection of Master), I haven't encountered any danger. I remember, in 2000 when I dropped letters in the mailbox on the street to clarify the truth, I told myself in my mind while I was walking, "If any evil dares to approach me, eliminate it immediately." Now, with the verses of sending forth righteous thoughts, the evil will be eliminated whether it approaches or not.
