Revered Teacher, greetings! Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I am a new practitioner who began Dafa study only a short while ago. I would like to share my own experiences during the Third Internet Experience Sharing Conference.

My wife began practicing Falun Gong in 1998. Back then I only knew that Falun Dafa taught people to be good. The wicked Communist Party banned people from practicing Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. My wife and other practitioners went to Beijing and the provincial government to appeal. They told people the truth about Dafa, while I supported her at home. I did not practice Dafa but went through three major tribulations and came out unscathed, which proves Teacher’s words that the whole family of a Dafa practitioner will benefit from the practice.

I gained a righteous understanding through these three experiences. I know very well that I would not be here today if it weren’t for Falun Dafa. I was not aware at the time that my wife was delivering and distributing truth clarification materials from the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. She and other practitioners in the area counteracted the pressure and put their hearts into doing everything to validate Dafa, spread Dafa, and rescue people. Although I did not practice Dafa at the time, I quietly supported her in many respects.

The Falun Dafa materials production site in our area was destroyed in 2001. Practitioners were arrested and the equipment was confiscated. As a result, practitioners no longer had access to Teacher’s articles or truth clarification materials. We couldn’t get any materials to tell people about Dafa, and this situation persisted for a long time.

One day my wife said she wanted to establish a Dafa materials production site in our home because of the rapid spread of Dafa and the severe circumstances confronting us. I thought it would be difficult because we needed courage, money, and technical know-how to do it. The Communist Party was still persecuting Falun Gong. I didn’t say anything for a long time, but I knew that everything Falun Gong practitioners did was open and righteous on the path of Dafa cultivation. Dafa gave me a second life, and even if overwhelming issues were thrown before us, I knew we could overcome them. I made the decision to help her and I firmly answered, "No problem!"

We used our own money to buy computer, scanner, and printer equipment, and I bought computer books to study. There was no computer whiz handy at the time, and I couldn’t rely on anyone to solve technical problems. Our production site was able to run smoothly after an initial period of trial and error. I was so excited when copies of Minghui articles and truth clarification materials came out of the printer.

Although I was still not a Dafa practitioner, I was determined to maintain a high level production site, which has functioned regularly since its inception. Looking back, the difficulties amounted to nothing.

We were initially confronted with technical problems, having started from ground zero with computer operation, printer operation, and the scanner. We learned as we went. We also had to learn to install and update software and change the printer cartridge. Furthermore, we overcame poor paper quality difficulties and eventually found supplies at an affordable price. Since the quantities of supplies entering and leaving our home were huge, delivery presented a problem. Sometimes we would print all day and night. The finished materials were taken out in plastic bags. We had to make tremendous effort as we took every step forward. Spreading the truth about Dafa is a magnificent feat, and to rescue more people we have to remember that we can make progress, even if it looks difficult.

I began truly practicing Dafa after I experienced three major tribulations and after I was able to discard some concerns through clarifying the truth and validating Dafa.

In early 2006, my wife, other practitioners, and I worked hard and ensured that our production site ran smoothly, from downloading information to printing flyers. We were convinced deep down in our hearts that this was the result of help from Dafa. Dafa endowed us with wisdom, courage, and power. As long as we respect Teacher and Dafa, we can do it, even if it looks difficult.
