(Minghui.org) I am a woman from a rural part of the country. On July 5, 1998, I began practicing Falun Dafa. All of my prior diseases disappeared immediately. When my husband saw these miracles of Dafa, he began practicing as well.
First, I would like to start with the matter of validating the Fa. After I had been practicing for just barely a year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its evil and overwhelming persecution of Falun Gong. At this point, I did not really know what to do, but I knew for a fact that Master and Dafa are good, and that the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance held only positive energy. On July 20,1999, I was taken to the local police station and asked, “Do you practice Falun Gong?” I said, “Yes, I do.” The policeman replied, “Well then stop. You saw those practitioners on TV meditating themselves silly.” I said, “That was just a lie. I practice Falun Gong, and it cured my diseases completely. Do I look foolish to you?” He laughed and walked away.
During that period of time, Master arranged for me to share, help, and work with two other practitioners to improve ourselves and to cultivate better. One of my fellow practitioners said, “This is cultivation practice. We must stay above the persecution by continuing to clarify the truth.” Soon, fellow practitioners began bringing us truth-clarification materials, and we distributed them over a large area. From the beginning, we have always delivered a variety of materials in a timely way. I would like to thank all my fellow practitioners who helped me deliver them.
At first, we started with a few practitioners, and every practitioner carried around 200-300 fliers to distribute at night. I remember the first night I went out to distribute fliers, I was very scared. I was walking along the sidewalk when a motorcycle roared by from behind, and my heart skipped a beat. As another car drove by, I told myself, “I am not committing a crime. I am doing a good deed. I am not afraid.” Keeping those words in mind, I successfully gave out all of my fliers.
From then on, I knew what a righteous thought was. One time, when saving predestined people, I encountered a dog blocking me from reaching the family's front door. I sent a thought to the dog, “Dog, why don't you go home now. I am here to save your owner.” The dog went home, and the man from inside came out. I said, “Brother, I'm here to clarify the truth.” He laughed, and I laughed along with him. Another time, I saw a woman pulling weeds. I stepped forward and said, “Sister, I'm here to give you the truth about Falun Gong.” She looked up and replied, “You do know what all the TV stations say about Falun Gong, right?” I said, “Yes, I do know. But you know what? Before I practiced Falun Gong, I was very ill. No hospitals would let me in, so I began practicing Falun Gong. It cured all my diseases.” She said, “Thank you, that truly is amazing.” I thought, Master, you are great, indeed.
One time near the end of the wheat harvest, I met a woman cleaning up the fields. I gave her a flier, but she said, “No thank you, don't you have work to do?” I replied, “I must tell you the facts. Before practicing Falun Gong, I was very ill, and Dafa cured me completely. We met today because of fate, so please take one. You know Falun Gong is good.” She laughed and took one gratefully. I have encountered so many of these miracles that I need not tell of any more. I know this was achieved under Master's divine protection. Without it, I would not have been able to accomplish anything.
Now, I'd like to speak about the issue of clarifying the truth face-to-face to people. I always start with my friends, family, and the the young and old of the village. I also clarify the truth to the CCP secretary of the village and the newly “elected” officials of the village. I tell them about the words on a large stone that prophesied the CCP's demise, discovered in Guizhou Province. I tell them that quitting the CCP will guarantee security and peace for the rest of their lives. When there are happy occasions, like weddings, or sad occasions, like funerals, my fellow practitioners and I go and clarify the truth there. When people hold events to clean up litter or donate food, we are also there to clarify the truth. Wherever there are predestined people, we are there to clarify the truth. Most people we encounter quit the CCP. After helping them quit, we tell them to remember that Falun Dafa is good, and that Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.
Later, two of my fellow practitioners and I realized we had to work together more on our cultivation path. We were at a fair, helping people quit the CCP. I clarified the truth and sent forth righteous thoughts. We worked by ourselves, and in one morning we were able to help around one hundred people quit the CCP. Our dedication was solely focused upon saving sentient beings. When we met people, we called them our brothers and sisters, because we felt compassion just pouring out of our hearts. Our wish to save them made us feel as if they were our own loved ones. After clarifying the truth, I would give them an amulet(1) to protect them. Other people in the vicinity would see me and ask for one from me, too. All of them expressed their thanks.
One time, a fellow practitioner decided to go to the police station and town government to clarify the truth, so the rest of us practitioners decided to send forth righteous thoughts for him. The effect was very good. The town secretary's assistant cried when she first heard the truth, and she quit the CCP immediately.
One night, at two in the morning, several practitioners and I went out to hang truth-clarification banners around town. Whenever we hung up a banner, we could see golden light shining from it. We knew it was encouragement from Master.
Another time, a fellow practitioner and I headed to a fair to clarify the truth. As I entered the highway on my electric bike, however, a fast car clipped me on one side and dragged me about five or six meters. I was almost 60 years old at the time. I could not straighten my back, so I called out to the driver, “Help lift me up, please.” The driver knelt down and helped me up, asking, “Ma'am, do you need me to take you to the hospital?” I replied, “No, I am fine. I practice Falun Gong, after all.” Then, a fellow practitioner reminded me to clarify the truth to the people in the car. After I helped the three passengers in the car quit the CCP, the driver said again, “I think you need to see a doctor.” I dusted myself off and said, “No thank you, but just remember to bear in mind that Falun Gong is good, and Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.” I asked him to pull my bike out from under his car and gave him a truth-clarifying flier before ushering him to leave. He tried to give me some money, but I refused. When he left, I knew I was in no shape to go to the fair anymore, so disappointed, I rode back home.
When I got home, I flopped onto my bed. A fellow practitioner helped straighten my back. My son asked me, “Mom, what happened?” I replied, “I got hit by a car.” My son said, “A car? What was the license plate?” I shook my head, “No, I let him go, what license plate number?” My son replied, “Wow, you are really amazing. Your faith in Dafa is so strong.”
That afternoon, several more practitioners came to take care of me, and they stayed for a whole week. I healed quickly, knowing this was all arranged by Master. I realized I needed to do better and assured Master I would do just that.
Once again, I thank Master for His boundless compassion, and I thank all my fellow practitioners. Heshi!
(1) Amulet -- in China, Falun Gong practitioners sometimes clarify the truth by giving people something small to wear or cherish, bearing a few words reminding them of the goodness of Dafa.
