Greetings Master!
Greetings fellow practitioners!
I am a Falun Gong practitioner over seventy years old. I would like to report to Master some of my cultivation experiences.
1. Helping People Quit the CCP and Its Affiliated Organizations by Making Phone Calls
I started to encourage people over the phone to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations in April 2008. At the beginning, I didn't even know how to dial phone numbers, so my grandson and granddaughter helped me out. Once I picked up the handset, I felt too nervous to hold it firmly. After learning how to dial, I was still unable to speak fluently, but I just kept doing it every day. Whenever the feeling of fear popped up, I just asked Master to strengthen me. After a few years, it now comes easily. Seven thousand people have quit the CCP due to my phone calls. What happened was beyond my imagination. I am certain this is because of Master's compassionate help.
In my phone calls, I talked with many nice people, from common people to police chiefs. The following are some examples of people seeing the benefits of quitting the CCP:
One friend said that after quitting the CCP, several cars in front of him were involved in a car accident. He was totally fine.
A businessman said his business was getting better and better since quitting the CCP.
Another one was a police chief. I didn't know who he was when I made the phone call. He asked, “How did you get my number?” I replied, “I have no idea who you are. I just dialed the number.” Then he asked, “Do you know what I do?” I answered, “No, I don't.” “I’m chief of the police department,” he said. “OK,” I said. “Then I’d like to have a conversation with you.” I started to clarify the truth. “Do you know Zhangbu Town in Guizhou Province? A stone fell from a cliff and split in half, and the inner surface has Chinese characters on it, in very hard stone, that say, ‘The Chinese Communist Party Collapses.’ Many state-run media reported on the miraculous stone, but they left off the last character, ‘Collapses.' The CCP has done so many evil things against the people, and they have never apologized. Even older CCP members and cadres admitted it was real and true.” He said, “Oh, I also know the CCP is far too corrupt.”
I started to tell him about the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong. The self-immolation hoax on Tiananmen Square was performed by people hired by the CCP. Once it was over, the CCP murdered them to shut their mouths forever. In another case, the CCP claimed a Falun Gong practitioner had a mental disorder. But actually the neighbors proved the person had been a patient for years and had never practiced Falun Gong. The CCP started with the movement of the so-called three evils and five evils, then the Tiananmen massacre, and most recently the persecution of Falun Gong. I told him that the heaven are going to eliminate the Party, and asked him to please quit it immediately.
Upon hearing all this, he agreed to quit. He also helped his six family members and other relatives and friends—38 people in total—to quit the CCP. He asked, “Do I need to get my documents out of the party branch?” “No, that’s not necessary,” I said. “As long as you agree to quit the CCP. Keep in mind 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance are good.' It won't affect your job or your studies and will ensure your safety.” “OK,” he said. Then I reminded him, “If your boss wants you to persecute Falun Gong, never do it. You need to protect Falun Gong practitioners. That way you’ll accumulate virtue and benefit in the future.” He promised.
About one or two months later, I mentioned the police chief's story to another person over the phone. He said, “I’m also a police chief!” He ended up helping 42 people quit the Party.
Another who claimed to be working for the government dared not tell his specific position. He helped 31 people quit.
Through the phone calls, I have also learned how corrupt things are in China. A history scholar told me, “At the end of the Qing Dynasty, government posts could be bought or sold. In the city I live in, someone bought an official position for 120,000 yuan. With this sort of behavior, this society is coming to an end.”
Later, another person told me that someone in his area spent 1,700,000 yuan to get a CCP county secretary position. He said, “Nothing is upright nowadays. Do you think he’ll serve the common people? Just image how much money he steals. And who are the victims? The common people, of course.”
When people learned the truth, they expressed their gratitude to Dafa and Master. A young guy who had not been able to find a job said, “In this society someone just profiteered in hundreds of millions, but I can’t even get a job. I hate the CCP.” After I told him the truth, he called out, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance are good! Master Li Hongzhi is great!”
Before making the phone calls every day, I asked Master to strengthen me to save people with predestined relationships. At first I would say, “Master, help me save more people. One person is one person.” Later I made a change and would say, “Master, I would like to let people quit the CCP group by group, to collapse the evil party!”
2. Done by Master's Mighty Power
My deep feeling is that everything disciples do are done by Master, and the mighty power of the Fa.
I used to feel sleepy when I studied the Fa on my own. From December 2010, I started to study the Fa over the Internet with fellow practitioners. Fellow practitioners told me to turn the page, I spent half an hour but I still failed to find the right page on the computer screen. Later, a fellow practitioner tutored me over the phone step by step, until I could do it myself.
We studied Zhuan Falun and other lectures. I felt that I had discovered a treasure—there are so many of Master's lectures online that I had not studied before. I didn't know that Master gave so many detailed explanations. The more I read, the more energetic I felt, and the more I wanted to study. I just couldn’t wait to start studying every day. I sighed with emotion: How great Master is, how great His compassion is!
The Fa study every day helped me greatly with my phone calling task. In the first year, I had only encouraged just over 1,000 people to quit the CCP, but now I was able to encourage 2,000 to quit in a year, with a total of 7,000 in the past several years. It is all from the power of the Fa, and it is done by Master.
3. Passing the Test
During my ten plus years of cultivation, I ran into two big tests. The first one took place three years ago. My youngest son, whom I had not seen for many years, was killed in a car accident. My daughter didn't tell me about this until she had already arranged for me to live with some fellow practitioners in a seniors’ apartment in the U.S.— but I kept a calm mind. The next day when a fellow practitioner asked me to call my family in China, I said, “Let me do my calls to help people quit the CCP first. If I call my family first, my emotions will be influenced and I won't be able to help people quit.” With Master's strengthening and fellow practitioners' encouragement, I didn't fall into the tragedy of a white-haired older woman crying over a young man and passed the test.
Two years ago, I had a lumbar sprain. Walking with a limp, I was unable to get downstairs. At that time, a fellow practitioner's son had come to visit her from China. It awakened in me the memory of my son. I shed tears every day. An non-practitioner person friend suggested that I get massage therapy at the hospital. I was feeling lost, so I made an appointment. While waiting for the appointment day to arrive, I felt hesitant, and one night I had a dream. In it, a fellow practitioner wanted to drive me to distribute Fa materials, but I couldn’t find him. Then a lot of water showed up in front of me. Suddenly two beasts jumped out of the water and came at me. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and called, “Master! Master!” When I opened my eyes, both beasts and the water had disappeared. I realized only Master could save me. So I made my decision and canceled the appointment. I would listen to nobody but Master. As a result, my lumbar sprain got better quickly, and my crying stopped. I have Master, I am scared of nothing.
4. A Happy Life is the Truth
I came to Canada eleven years ago, later living in a seniors’ apartment. Due to living on a tight budget, I used to have the idea that I might do some babysitting to make a bit of money. But if I did that, I wouldn’t have time to encourage people to quit the CCP over the phone. So living was a little bit difficult, but I kept doing the three things.
Many residents in the building are senior Chinese. Most of them have significant titles, while I just have a background of three years of education in elementary school. But they admired me, saying, “Don't think about the fact that she hasn’t even graduated from elementary school or that she’s unable to read English—because she has a happy life. She does not fall behind on anything. We are far behind her.” They have two reasons to admire me. One is that I am healthy, and always happy. The other is that things always go smoothly for me, beyond what they can imagine.
Take my old age security (OAS) as an example. I was supposed to get OAS ten years after I got my resident permit, and at the earliest, ten years after the date I filed my permanent resident application. But my ten-year period was counted from my entry date in Canada, which was fourteen months earlier than that. What happened was big news in the Chinese community. “Your case is so special, truly rare to see,” people said. “Is that because of your Master's help?” They knew I was practicing Falun Gong and have Master’s protection.
The above are some experiences of my recent years of cultivation. Due to my limited educational background, I have just shared these few stories.
Thank you again, Master, and thank you to fellow practitioners for the help and encouragement over the years.
I have a firm righteous thought: Believe in Master and believe in the Fa. Return home with Master!
Thank you Master!
Thank you everyone!
