University Professor: Dafa Changed My View of the World

Sept. 23, 2013 |   By a Dafa practitioner from Northeast China

(Minghui.org) I am a professor at a prominent university in China. Since childhood, my mind was poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party's [CCP] materialism and atheism, and I did not believe in gods or Buddhas. Because of this wrong view of the world, I missed many opportunities to obtain the Fa, especially the great opportunity to listen to Master's Fa Lecture in Harbin City in 1994.

My mother was a Buddhist for many years. She became aware of Falun Gong by chance and then firmly decided to give up Buddhism and cultivate Falun Gong (she said that although she had been practicing Buddhism for many years she did not feel any improvement). My home was far away from the practice site and my mother was nearly 70 years old with many illnesses. It was not convenient for her to take the taxi every morning to attend group practice. Out of filial piety to my mother, I went to the practice site to learn the exercises so that I could show them to my mother at home. Because of this, I started to practice Falun Gong.

After I started to practice, I personally experienced many supernatural things. Master opened my celestial eye and I saw the colorful Falun turning around. The speed of the turning was not very fast so I could clearly see the swastika (an ancient religious symbol) and Tai-Chi symbols and their rotation. Falun are very beautiful, clear and transparent with bright colors. In fact, I could not describe the wonder with human language since I had never seen such beautiful colors in our human world. I was greatly shocked by what I saw and my view of the world changed. I also strengthened my determination to cultivate within Falun Dafa.

Initially the meditation was very painful for me. As soon as I crossed my legs in the lotus position, I started to feel pain. The pain went on and off. Especially my hip and knee felt like they were being cut by a knife. My feet turned black and purple, which was scary for me. The leg pain, numbness and swelling all came together, causing an unbearable upset of my heart. My entire body trembled and my facial expression looked painful. A fellow practitioner told me my face should remain peaceful. I thought that I was in so much pain that I did not care about my facial expression. I bore the pain like this for a year and could only do the meditation for 20 minutes at the most.

Then my happy and memorable moment came. I saw Master for the first time in my life during Master's Fa lecture. Master was about 15 meters away from me. Although I was very excited, I calmed myself and listened to Master's lecture quietly. While I was listening, I felt something inside my knees like a thread being drawn away. At the same time, there was a chilly feeling in my knees. Within a few minutes, it happened six times in my right knee and four times in my left knee. (During my meditation, I usually felt the right leg was more painful since I had some problems in my leg during childhood which caused difficulty in walking. My right leg had more severe symptoms than my left leg.) At the time, I did not realize what fortunate thing had happened to my knees during the Fa lecture.

I was very excited to see Master. The next morning, I started the meditation at the practice site at just a little over 3 a.m. Then the miracle happened. I suddenly realized that my legs no longer had pain while doing the meditation. Then I remembered what happened to my knees while seeing Master, and immediately realized that Master had adjusted my body, eliminated my karma and gotten rid of the bad matter in my legs. I was very grateful to Master. I was melted into Master's infinite grace and I was very happy.

Then I found that not only did my knees not have pain anymore, but also my feet did not look so dark and purple. My mind also calmed down during meditation and I could do the meditation for a longer time. The fourth morning after Master's Fa lecture, during my meditation, I suddenly felt my legs disappear, then my hands and body disappeared, then my head disappeared. I only had the main consciousness knowing that I was doing the meditation and listening to the exercise music. The feeling lasted for a while, then I felt my body again. It was exactly like Master said,

“There’s another cultivation state: you sit and sit, and then you discover that your legs are gone, you can’t figure out where they went, and your body is gone, too, your arms are gone too, your hands are also gone, and only your head is left. As you keep meditating, you discover that your head is gone, too, and only your mind is left—there’s just a little bit of awareness left knowing that you’re cultivating here. If you can reach that point it will be more than good enough. And why is that? When a person does the exercises in that state his body is being evolved to its fullest extent. It’s the best state. So that’s why we have you enter into stillness in that kind of state.” (The Eighth Talk, Zhuan Falun)

My experience fully verified Master's words.

I was engaged in empirical scientific research. I was a professor at a well-known university in China for many years. I have bachelor, master and doctorate degrees and am involved in natural science research. I never easily believed in anything. But the miracles I personally experienced during my Dafa cultivation deeply affected me and allowed me to believe what Master said,

“Nothing is as profound as BUDDHA LAW. Of all teachings in the world it is the most wondrous and highest science. To open up this field, ordinary people have to fundamentally change their way of thinking. Failing that, the reality of the universe will forever remain something of a myth to mankind, and ordinary people will forever grope around inside the box created by their own ignorance” (ON BUDDHA LAW, Zhuan Falun)

For the past years, I have gradually improved my understanding of the Fa principles by studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. The deeper I understand the Fa, the more firmly I believe in Dafa. Rationally, I understand that Dafa is the perfect and indestructible truth. While I clarify the truth, I often talk about my personal experience and my understanding of Dafa to my colleagues, students, friends and family members, and it has a great effect in clarifying the truth and persuading people to withdraw from the CCP. Many people have also thanked me a lot while accepting Shen Yun Performance DVDs.

I am very grateful to Master for bestowing so much on me. I feel so fortunate that I can cultivate Falun Dafa in this life, have the opportunity to do the three things Master requires of us and be a Dafa disciple in the Fa-Rectification period.

During truth-clarification, I saw that many Chinese people were scared of the evil CCP and deceived by the CCP's lies and I am very anxious for them. It is a great pity for them if they lose this one opportunity in thousands of years. Although I cannot display the miracles I truly experienced in the human world and show them to people, I guarantee with my human dignity and conscience that they are absolutely real.
