(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Gong practitioner from Liaoning Province. I started practicing Falun Gong on July 12, 1995. At that time, I did not have any Dafa books, nor did I possess any Dafa CDs. The exercises were taught to us by our neighborhood volunteers. We practiced together every day and tried to correct each others' exercise movements. Because we did not have the exercise music, our movements were not in-synch.
A month later, two practitioners brought copies of Zhuan Falun, tapes of the exercise music, and Master's picture to us from Beijing. We were all so thrilled.
I held Zhuan Falun and saw Master's picture and said, “Ah, I have met Master already. About a month ago, I had a dream and saw Master sitting on the edge of my grandmother's bed. Master said to me, 'You have a lot of diseases. Let me check.' Master squeezed my arm as he was speaking and said, 'You are fine now. The only thing is that sometimes you will have headaches. When you do have a headache, you will feel better after you pat your head.' I said, 'I have all kinds of diseases except headaches.' Master said, 'You will sometimes have headaches.' I noticed Master's fine skin and dark hair and that the shiny white light above his head that was too bright for my eyes. I suffered from heart and liver diseases for the past several years. I always felt a tightness in my chest. After Master's touch, I felt different and very comfortable. I turned around to ask my grandmother for some money for Master. I woke up then and realized that it was a dream. Since then, I have never again had tightness in my chest.”
After hearing my story, fellow practitioners all said I had a strong predestined relationship with Dafa and Master. Even though I had not started practicing Falun Gong, Master was already taking care of me.
Master Protected Me
After I began practicing Dafa, all my diseases disappeared. Every day, we went to the 32nd Middle School to practice the exercises and study the Fa until 10:30 p.m. Rain or shine, we never missed.
One night when we exited the school, it was almost 11:00 p.m. The snow on the ground was already knee deep and there was no way to walk fast. However, that night I felt as if I were floating over the snow—as if I were flying. It took me no time at all to reach the alley where my house was. I saw a person standing near my house. When he saw me, he turned his face away, turning his back on me to let me pass. When I turned around, I saw that my door was open. I immediately realized that that person was a notorious thief in our area and he was there to rob me. I entered the house and turned on the lights. The room was covered by a white light that came from Master's picture and the two Falun posters. The white light was very bright, and I noticed that nothing had been taken from the house. I realized that this white light was a divine manifestation from Master. Master had protected me and my house; I was so grateful!
The next night, a fellow practitioner told me about his experience: “Indeed, Master once also protected my house. The thief just wandered around my house and could not get in.”
Falun Spinning Everywhere
In Liaoning Province, everybody knows about Falun Dafa because there were exercise sites everywhere. Every morning the sites were full of practitioners who gathered to do the exercises. Big colorful Falun were spinning above the exercise sites and Fa-study sites. I once saw many spinning Falun above the 32nd Middle School for about eight days in a row.
After the peaceful appeal on April 25, practitioners were being harassed. Our large exercise group divided into several smaller groups. There was a Fa-study group in my house. One night as I stood in my backyard after I finished the meditation exercise, I suddenly saw nine huge Falun spinning very fast above my house. I couldn't see clearly the Taiji signs or the 卍 signs. I only saw the bright rosy color, which was so beautiful.
Master's Falun and Fashen
After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, we went to the square in front of the municipal government office at 7:00 a.m. The police department is also there. We were planning to go to the municipal bureau and the appeals office to clarify the truth. Within a short period of time, practitioners from surrounding counties and cities all gathered in the square. We waited quietly on the sidewalk for our representatives to come to work.
All of a sudden, somebody shouted, “Look! Master is up in the sky!” We looked up and saw the entire sky covered with colorful Falun and Master's Fashen. We were so excited that we had tears in our eyes.
The representatives showed up after a long while; however, the result was disappointing. The police were also treating practitioners rudely. In the afternoon, groups of police officers came to stand in front of us without saying a word. A while later, a police officer came straight toward us. He shoved a group of elderly practitioners who fell, and the backs of their heads hit the ground. Then he went over to push another group of elderly practitioners, so I jumped over in front of the practitioners and stood there determinedly, facing him. When he was within two feet from me, he suddenly stepped backward, breathing heavily and sweating. He did not dare come any closer.
I, in fact, did not do anything, but I knew that Master was right by me.
The Pen Master Gave Me
The evil arrested practitioners everywhere, and I cannot remember how many times I was arrested. However, no matter where I was, as long as the conditions allowed, I always clarified the truth to the police. Many of them understood the truth and tried their best to protect us.
The inmates did work that involved poisonous materials and the workload was always very heavy. The guards who understood the truth did not force us practitioners to take on those tasks. They merely gave us paper boxes so we could put our hands inside and pretend that we were working.
We kept clarifying the truth about Dafa and Master to the inmates, too, and telling them about the changes that we experienced after practicing Falun Gong. One day, an inmate asked us to write down Hong Yin for her so she could memorize it. In the prison, we were not allowed to have any pens or paper, so how could we write anything for her? When I reached my hands into my box, I found a pen in there! I couldn't believe it, and fellow practitioners were all very surprised, too. We immediately wrote down Hong Yin for her.
The Falun Emblem Master Gave Me
My grandson saw the Falun emblem on my badge spinning when he was five. The three words “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” were on the badge, too. My grandson said, “Grandma, the ball on the badge you wear keeps spinning. The three words do not spin, only the ball spins.”
Master said,
“The same is true for our small Falun badges, which are also rotating. Our cultivation practice is guided by Zhen-Shan-Ren, the characteristic of the universe, and by the principles of the cosmos’ evolution.” (Zhuan Falun)
In those years, we went to spread the Fa everywhere wearing Falun badges. No matter how late we returned home from those remote areas, we never felt tired. We felt sacred and wonderful. However, after the persecution started, my house was ransacked three times by the police. I was arrested and taken to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.
Although the evil guards and those who went astray kept doing bad deeds in there, Master always made arrangements for me. Every Saturday afternoon during break time, the monitors watched us very closely. They kept their eyes on me when I played basketball, so I passed the ball to them. They did not want to play because they were afraid that the ball would hit them, so they sat far away from the basketball court. Once, when I dribbled the ball to the other side of the court, I saw a practitioner. She quickly put a new lecture into my pocket. Then we looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, that was all arranged by Master. Those monitors knew that several of us always memorized lectures, so they often searched our beds without any advanced notice. However, every time, Master gave us hints to take the lectures with us when we went downstairs so the monitors could not find anything.
With Master's protection, I was released in a month. Those people who went astray were not released. I never forgot my Falun badge. One day I was cleaning the floor in my son's house. All of a sudden, I heard something drop on the floor—it was a Falun badge! I held the badge and jumped up and down with joy, just like a child. I said, “Master, you dropped a Falun badge from heaven for me!”
During the 16 years I have practiced Dafa, Master has given me many hints. Thank you, Master! As Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period, we feel extremely honored to be with Master.
