(Clearwisdom.net) I started Falun Dafa practice in late June. After three months of cultivation, despite the fact that I'm almost fifty, my hair turned back to black, my skin became smooth and tender, and my body got stronger and stronger. I feel like I’m ten years younger. Although I’m amazed by these physical changes, what astonished me the most were the beautiful scenes and glorious splendors I’ve seen and encountered in cultivation. Comparing before and after I started practicing Dafa, it’s like going from earth to heaven. I'd like to write about what I’ve experienced. I hope this can help encourage those people who are predestined to learn Dafa yet are lost in the world to sooner obtain the law.

I. Beginning to Practice Dafa, Shocking and Frightening

I’m a taxi driver. In the beginning of June I always felt panicky for no reason. It was like I was under pressure all the time. Once I was turning around my car after dropping off a passenger, and the tire exploded. Though I felt lucky that it hadn’t happened on the road, I started to feel even more panicked. After learning about the situation, a Dafa practitioner in the district gave me an amulet. He told me to silently say, "Falun Dafa is good!" "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good!" He said by doing so it would keep me safe. I agreed and followed his advice, and miracles indeed happened. One time I sped up to get through an intersection. The car in front of me suddenly braked. Although I hit my brakes as quickly as I could, because we were too close and driving too fast, the cars collided. The powerful impact threw the person sitting in the back of the car to the front. Surprisingly, neither of the cars were damaged. Only the paint was missing where the cars had made contact, and that was all. From then on I was completely convinced of Falun Gong's miraculous power.

After this incident, because I was still having uneasy moments frequently, I found the Dafa practitioner who’d given me the amulet, and expressed to her my desire to study the Fa and my determination to begin cultivation. She gave me a Dafa book and several other supplemental materials. I began to study them eagerly. From knowing very little to progressing diligently, I finally became a true practitioner. Later one day, I parked my car by the road so that I could go get something to eat. Another car was trying to avoid hitting a pedestrian and suddenly hit my car. Luckily I wasn't inside. The first thought I had was that Master had saved me once again. Thank you Master for your compassionate care. From then on, my uneasiness completely went away.

II. Steadfastly Cultivating and Beginning to See Miracles

The difficulty and danger of obtaining the Fa made me treasure Dafa with all my heart, so in everyday cultivation I am very earnest and diligent. In order to get a broader view of the history of the spreading of Falun Gong, I obtained copies of all of Master's writings I could from fellow practitioners, and read them through. I used to drink a lot, but after reading Master's teaching concerning alcohol, I stopped without hesitation. Now I feel no desire to drink at all when someone mentions alcohol. Everyday, no matter how busy and tiring my job is, I always keep up my Fa study and practice, until very late at night.

Over three months of cultivation, I experienced some magical phenomena. When I do the exercises, I always feel that there is an oval-shaped, transparent, bubble-like structure surrounding me. The most miraculous thing I saw was a blooming lotus flower in front of my forehead. That beautiful scene was impossible to describe with words. For one who has cultivated for only three months and learned only two of the five exercises, I really appreciate Master's care for me. I will also remember what Master has told us:

I'll study the Fa often, and pay great attention to improving my xinxing.

III. Late Awakening

Though I was happy about my improvement in cultivation, I had a concern that always disturbed my mind. The more I improved, the more I felt guilty towards Master. As early as last fall, there were practitioners telling me about Falun Dafa, but back then I was so deeply poisoned by the evil CCP's fabricated propaganda that I not only spoke harshly to the Dafa disciples, I even spat words that were very disrespectful to Master. Now that I see the truth, I feel so ashamed. Our compassionate Master not only forgave me, but also saved me from danger using his mighty power. He granted the priceless Fa and is bearing tribulations for me borne of my own karma. Even with thousands of words, I can't describe Master's grace and kindness.
