(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Gong in 1996. I'm of a minority nationality. With Teacher's care, I have been cultivating for over ten years. I truly validated the magnificence of Falun Dafa. I deeply feel Teacher's caring for me.
Beginning Falun Dafa Practice
Before 1996, I had chronic illnesses. I tried several kinds of qigong for a while, but I didn't see much improvement, so I stopped. In November 1996, I was transferred to a hospital in a different city. One of my sisters introduced Falun Dafa to me. She brought me Falun Dafa books, and at the hospital, I finished reading Zhuan Falun very quickly. I had special feelings about it since it is very different from other qigong books. Besides, when I read the book, each and every character appeared round, and seemed to be emitting light.
I asked to be released from the hospital and decided to go home and practice Falun Dafa. Before I went home, my sister taught me how to do the Falun Dafa exercises. She also gave me the exercise music and Fa-lecture tapes.
After I returned home, I started by crossing one leg and studying the Fa. My child sat by me and read Zhuan Falun aloud for me. As I read the book every day, I could tell that my heath was improving. Two months later, I bought a VCR player and a recorder. I started practicing the exercises. My child practiced the exercises together with me, but my husband didn't. However, he sincerely supported me. My whole family has benefited from Falun Dafa. I got better and better. My child did better in school as well and became one of the top students.
One day in a dream, I saw a little snake leaving my body. My whole body subsequently became lighter and even better. At that time, the Woman's Association in my company was selling underpants for profits. Those pants have Chinese medicine in them at the lower abdomen area. Many people bought them, and I followed suit and got a pair for myself. I put them on, and that night I had a dream and saw a shiny little round mirror in my lower abdomen. It was moving. Meanwhile, I had a very bad stomachache. When I woke up, I immediately realized that I shouldn't be wearing those pants. I took them off, and the stomachache disappeared right away. I came to realize that Teacher has installed a Falun in my lower abdomen.
Some of My Magnificent Experiences and Teacher's Caring for Me
During my cultivation before the persecution began on July 20, 1999, I had some experiences, as explained by Teacher. For example, I saw Chinese characters at the corner of my eyes. I felt very comfortable as if sitting in an eggshell while doing the meditation. I got rid of the illnesses like frequent urination and urination urgency, and my mind became very clear. I looked inside when I encountered issues. I was very strict with myself yet compassionate towards others, and I didn't fight for material interests. I was once on a business trip in the countryside. We were in the middle of a wetland. The electric circuits of the car suddenly caught fire. The driver handled the incident very well, and no one was hurt. When I think about it now, I know that Teacher was protecting us. Otherwise, the result would have been unthinkable.
The red horror has been all over the country since the persecution began on July 20, 1999. Under such circumstances, I have always believed in Falun Dafa. I continue to study the Fa and practice the Falun Dafa exercises. There has been all kinds of interference, but I wasn't moved at all. I firmly believe that Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. I study the Fa, practice the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts. I try my best to do the three things well.
Somehow I was given hints to help me see the truth of cultivation. I know it was because Teacher was caring for me, protecting me, and guiding me forward. Teacher let me see magnificent things in my dreams. I think I should write them down and share them with my fellow practitioners.
Some time in 2009, in a dream I saw a sky-blue curtain extending all the way up to the sky. Layers and layers of people stood on the curtain as if standing on stairs. I saw the new cosmos turning and replacing the old one. It was just like how Falun turns as shown at the beginning of the exercise tape. All those people were wearing beautiful clothing and smiling. I was standing in the middle. There were layers upon layers of people below me as well as above me. It was so magnificent. After I woke up, I could still see what I saw in my dream. I remember that dream very clearly even today.
A while ago, Teacher gave me another form of encouragement and let me see an amazing scene. It was a huge golden stage. There are no words to describe how beautiful and magnificent it was. I walked down the stairs to the bottom of the stage, and the stairs then went up again like a ribbon. I followed the stairs to the middle level and saw at the top of the stairs, to my west, there were a phoenix and a peacock. The peacock was blue and the phoenix was white. The phoenix had very long feathers. It was so beautiful. I kept going up along the stairs.
When I woke up, I clearly remember the things in my dream. Teacher said,
"There is one kind of dream that does directly have to do with you, though, and we can't really refer to these dreams as dreams: it's where your master consciousness, meaning, your master soul, sees your family approach you in your dream, or you have a real-to-life experience, or you see or do something. If that's the case, your master soul really did do something or see something in another dimension, it's you who did it, and you were clearheaded and you had a real experience. Those things really do exist. It's just that they exist in other dimensions and they were done in other space-times. So can you say they're dreams? You can't." (Zhuan Falun)
I know it was a true scene. Teacher has been caring for us and encouraging us all along.
I'm sharing this with fellow practitioners because we are all Falun Dafa disciples. We should firmly believe in Falun Dafa. As long as we have Teacher and the Fa, nothing can impact us or interfere with us. We should study the Fa, practice the exercises, send forth righteous thoughts, and do the three things well. We must assist Teacher with Fa-rectification, and strive forward diligently so we return to our true homes soon and realize the historic vows that we made.
