The Minghui Website Has Benefited Me Greatly

April 8, 2010 |   By a practitioner from Henan Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) I burst into tears several times today while reading "Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website's Founding." I could deeply feel the key role that the Minghui website (the Chinese version of the Clearwisdom website) has played in assisting Teacher during the Fa-rectification period in the past ten years. At the same time, it has provided practitioners in China a window to access news about the persecution and share cultivation experiences.

I am a practitioner from Henan Province and started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. During my initial cultivation period, I only studied the Falun Gong teachings with my elder sister and never had a chance to participate in group study. Later, when she was out explaining the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong, my sister was reported to the police by someone who believed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lies. She is still being detained in a forced labor camp. After my sister was arrested, I had to cultivate by myself because I had no one to share my cultivation experiences with. Under compassionate Teacher's protection, a practitioner from my hometown came and helped me install software that could break through the Internet blockade. Since that time, I've read Minghui articles daily, which has greatly inspired and encouraged me. I am often moved to tears by fellow practitioners' stories about validating the Fa and overcoming the persecution with righteous thoughts. I also identified my own shortcomings and gaps when I learned that practitioners did the exercises every morning and persevered in memorizing, reciting, and hand copying the Falun Gong teachings. I learned from them and started doing the exercises every morning.

After I read practitioners' understandings about hand copying the Falun Gong teachings, I started doing the same. While I was copying Lecture One, I thought that I might give up. I thought that it was too slow, and I would rather read the Fa. This experience exposed my pursuit of speed and lack of care. I thought to myself, "No, I cannot give up." Finally, I finished hand copying Zhuan Falun, the Fa of the Universe, within one and a half months. The process of copying Zhuan Falun was wonderful, as the principles of every sentence clearly imprinted themselves in my mind. Whenever I came across tribulations or tests, I could look inside and measure them against the Fa principles. In the process of copying the Fa teachings, I also removed the attachments of pursuing speed and lack of care. I just tried my best to copy the Fa as much as possible each day and made myself remain tranquil during the process. I also gained new understanding of many Fa principles that I had never understood before.

The existence of the Minghui website made me feel that I wasn't alone anymore. Whenever I read Minghui articles, I was immersed in them, just like being immersed in the Falun Gong study group environment. I focused on Fa study and cultivation and constantly reminded myself to be diligent.

I would like to express my thanks to the Minghui website, which provides us with a platform to share with each other. Many practitioners in China don't have access to the Minghui website, even though they all know about Minghui's important role as the platform for publishing Teacher's new articles, cultivation experience sharing, and persecution news in China. Dear practitioners outside of China, do you know that China's practitioners are eager to log onto the Minghui site? We are in China, where the CCP closely censors and blocks the truth, so only by viewing Minghui can we find out about the persecution in different parts of China, as well as practitioners' true state of cultivation as a whole. The Minghui website is of great importance for practitioners in China.

I can't express how much I cherish and appreciate this website. I hope that the Minghui website will do even better and more remarkable work. I hope that we can support each other, all reach consummation, and return home with Teacher.
