(Clearwisdom.net) Master said in Zhuan Falun,
"There is another way to change one's life, and this is the only way: It is that this person takes the path of cultivation practice from now on."
After reading this statement, I thought to myself, "I'd better rely on Dafa to change my life. No one else can help me. I must focus on cultivation to change this terrible life I am living." It was avoiding family violence that brought me to Dafa.
I did not know what cultivation meant at the time. I just wanted to have a peaceful life. It was with this attachment that I began attending Dafa lectures. I missed the first two of Master's lectures on cultivation and started with the third lecture. Master nonetheless purified my body. The reaction I had was that my stomach hurt, and I needed to use the restroom. The pain went away just before I reached the restroom. After performing the exercises for a period of time, all my bodily ailments disappeared. I used to suffer from colds, a low fever, and a low blood pressure condition. These problems disappeared and I felt truly great.
After I had been practicing for over five months, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution of Falun Gong. My knowledge of Falun Gong was that it could bring good health and encourage people to be good. My neighbors and colleagues at work shared the same understanding. The persecution forced the closing of our meeting place and I lost contact with other practitioners, but I continued my practice at home. My character improved visibly, and my husband said, "We need to be thankful to your Master. If not for him, our family would not be at peace, and you would have left me."
In late 2001, Master arranged for a fellow practitioner to visit with me, and I was thus able to obtain all the articles Master wrote after July 1999, and I got flyers about Falun Dafa. I understood that I should validate the Fa and save sentient beings by telling them the facts about Falun Gong. I spoke to local practitioners about our lack of fact sheets for distribution, and we decided to write "Falun Dafa is good," "Jiang Zemin is guity of genocide," etc. on posters. I decided to prepare as many posters as I could, so that more people could learn the facts.
In 2004 the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, which was followed by the three withdrawals initiative (encouraging people to withdraw from the Party and its youth organizations). My husband used the excuse that our children needed a computer and bought one, even though we could hardly afford it. I knew it was for gathering facts about Falun Gong and communicating with other practitioners. With the help of my children I learned how to type and use the Internet. In 2007, a fellow practitioner helped me set up a truth-clarifying materials production center.
A few days ago the evil CCP was trying to block all Internet communication with Falun Dafa websites. I was nonetheless able to get on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net). At first I thought this was because my cultivation was good and my righteous thoughts were strong. Later, I realized that I should not be attached to zealotry and I sent forth righteous thoughts to remove evil spirits responsible for blocking the Internet.
In the spring of this year (2009) some practitioners wanted to clarify the facts about Falun Gong in the shopping area and distribute Shen Yun DVDs and flyers. When we mentioned the contents of the DVDs, most people were happy to take them. The response we got was quite good.
We spread the facts about Falun Gong to validate the Fa. It is also a process to improve our character. It is not necessary to be concerned about how we clarify the facts. We only need to be sincere and compassionate about what we do. The results will always be in proportion to our character.
