(Clearwisdom.net) The Minghui/Clearwisdom website has held Internet experience-sharing conferences for Dafa practitioners in Mainland China three times now, but I always thought that I was not well educated enough and that I did not have anything to share. As a result, I lost a lot of chances to share my experiences. But now I would like to write about my cultivation. Please point out anything inappropriate.

Clarifying the facts with righteous thoughts and validating Dafa

I went to my colleague's wedding, where there were many guests. The hosts treated the guests with care and hospitality, and it was a good chance for me to clarify the facts. While I was talking with people, two local policemen came in. One was a kind person, while the other had always caused problems. My house used to be a practice site, and this bad policeman and his wife were monitoring our house. When he came in, my first thought was that he must leave and not hinder my clarifying the facts to people. After about five minutes, we heard a great commotion outside the door. This policeman’s wife had fainted in front of a shop, and he left immediately. The other policeman left, too, and I continued to answer people's questions about Falun Gong. Later on people told me how well the truth-clarification went, but actually, it was Master who arranged it all, and I only had the heart to validate Dafa.

Saving sentient beings and witnessing the miracles of Dafa

Once my daughter’s friend called her and said that her mother had undergone brain surgery twice in one year. However, neither operation was successful, and she could not look after herself. My daughter's friend said to her, "What can we do? It would be so nice if she practiced Falun Gong like your mother. She’s only 50 years old." My daughter replied, "It doesn’t work if you want her to practice. She has to want it herself. I can ask my mother to help you." Then my daughter said to me, "This is a chance for you to save sentient beings. She’s a very sick person. Would it be OK?" I said, "Everything will go as Master arranges." I took a copy of Zhuan Falun with me and went to her friend’s home. I clarified the facts to them first and then started to talk about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. I told them to get rid of their CCP memorabilia and quit the CCP. Through studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, her mother became much healthier, day by day, but she was still afraid and could not give up taking medication. She came to talk with me about this every two or three days, and I explained it to her patiently. Once she called me, crying. She had fought with her neighbor and had not handled herself like a practitioner. After the talk, she realized that she was in the wrong. Her family was amazed by the change in her health and temperament, and her husband started to practice, too. In order to help herself let go of the attachment to curing illnesses, she came to stay at my home. My house has a good environment and a strong energy field. I took her to clarify the facts, talk about the "Nine Commentaries," and help people quit the Party. We walked five kilometers to her relatives' home, where her relatives saw the changes in her firsthand. They withdrew from the Party, and the host started to cultivate in Dafa as well. She used to be a person who took medicine all the time, but now she can ride her bike to clarify the facts to people. In a short time, she has established a study group of six practitioners.

Validating Dafa during detention

Once, two other practitioners and I went to hang up banners and pass out flyers in the countryside. Because the people understood us very well, we started to have feelings of joy and complacency. The evil took advantage of this. We forgot to send forth righteous thoughts, and we did not maintain our vigilance. Some people turned us in to the police. One of us escaped, but another practitioner and I were arrested.

At the police station, the officers kept on tormenting us during interrogation. I kept reciting the poem "Mighty Virtue" to strengthen my righteous thoughts and keep my heart pure. After being sent to a detention center, I practiced the exercises, recited the Fa, and sent forth righteous thoughts with the other detained practitioners. One guard said, "Falun Gong is amazing. They even clarified the facts to us. We do not have any idea about how to deal with her." They witnessed the power of Dafa.

In detention, a prisoner heard me clarifying the facts. She eventually started to study the Fa and practice with us. She said that she wouldn't have heard the truth outside and that Master had arranged for her to obtain the Fa there. She said that she would help others in her family and her daughter to obtain the Fa. Not long after that her case was dropped and she was sent home.

In the detention center, there were two girls. One had killed her neighbor’s child and the other was in for theft. The guards used them to monitor us. They watched us all the time and sometimes beat us. They were in charge of reporting to the guards. They did not want us to eat, even the food that was going to be wasted. We patiently talked with them kindly. Our compassion finally awakened their conscience. They gradually started to become close to us and tried to protect us.

After a few months of detention, another practitioner and I were sentenced to two years of forced labor. That day, the other practitioner and I worked together. We sent forth a thought of "No Dafa practitioner can be sent to a labor camps. Please help us, Master." On the way there, we suddenly became very sick. We vomited and had headaches. We were cold and our faces even changed color. Master was arranging this. When the policemen discovered this, they were surprised and started to blame us. "You were quite all right before. Why are you pretending?" After they had us examined in a hospital, the result was that we had high blood pressure and heart problems. It looked like we were going to die. The doctor blamed them, "They are almost dead. You are tarnishing our name if they die here." The police answered, "They are just pretending." They asked us to stand in the sunshine and they went to have lunch. In the afternoon, we were sent to an army hospital, and the diagnosis was even worse. The labor camp refused to accept us. The policemen were angry and took us back. In the end they could only set us free for medical treatment. After my daughter heard about it, she took me to have another exam. The result was good, and my health was normal. Master saved us, and we had witnessed the miracles of Dafa again.

My husband's experience

My husband started to practice Falun Dafa with me when I did. After the persecution started, I was arrested several times. He was scared and not diligent. Once he had apoplexy and suffered paralysis over half of his body. He could not look after himself. I needed to take care of him, and he just could not get out of that situation. After other practitioners tried to talk to him, he started to study the Fa and practice the exercises, and he became much healthier. Master saved him. He told others about how he has come back to Dafa.
