(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) in October 1997. I follow the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and remember to be considerate of everyone.
My neighbor asked if she could install an air conditioner next to my window. I immediately agreed. It was an old style air conditioner and very noisy. It was already very hot since we lived on the top floor of the building. Now with the loud noise we had to wait until after midnight to go to bed, but we endured.
The following summer the neighbor came to my home and heard the loud noise from her air conditioner. She said, “Ms. Yun, is that loud noise coming from my air conditioner? Doesn't it bother you and keep you awake?” I replied, “You have high blood pressure. It's very hot in the summer and you can rest well if you turn on the air conditioner. I practice Falun Dafa and am not bothered by the noise. I can fall asleep right away. Your air conditioner is okay where it is.”
A family on the first floor also installed a window air conditioner. A few days later their neighbor asked them to move the air conditioner to another location since it was very loud. They had to move the air conditioner to their balcony window. When she heard this, my neighbor was very grateful to me and said, “People like you who practice Falun Dafa are all good people.” She asked to borrow a copy of the bookZhuan Falun to read. She also borrowed Master's lecture videos.
The residential property management decided to renovate the staircase in our building. The construction workers needed water and electricity. The general contractor asked me, “Can we use your water and electricity?” At that moment I did not have any selfish thoughts and agreed. I said, “Sure, go ahead.” I prepared drinking water for them every day. I told them they could come to my home to take a break, drink some water and use the restroom. The construction team left their tools and materials in my yard. I later heard that my neighbor praised my family and told them, “You can leave your tools and materials in Ms. Yun's home since they are very nice people.”
When the renovation was finished, the general contractor told me, “I have worked in many houses and I've never met such nice people. People like you who practice Falun Dafa are really good people. You are very sincere, kind, and patient. I feel so fortunate to have met you! I now know that Falun Dafa practitioners are not like what is being said on TV. I now know that you are very good people. I believe that Falun Dafa is good! Truthful-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
