(Minghui.org) My life is very simple as a cultivator, I exercise every day and study the Fa teachings, and do the three things well. I use the Fa teachings to measure all that I do. I am able to have a new understanding of the teachings when I study Fa.
Several years ago when the persecution was happening in full force everywhere, I heard that one of my childhood friends was involved in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
My family was terrified that I wanted to clarify the truth to him. “He was so evil. What if he reports you?”
I thought that he was in a key position, so if nobody brings awareness of the persecution to him, he might commit even more sins and persecute more practitioners. I decided to visit his parents and then him.
When we caught up, we recalled the good old days. I told him Falun Gong is a great Buddha school teaching. It has spread to over 100 countries. I also told him about the cases of those who participated in the persecution and met with retribution.
He took out a letter that was written by a Falun Gong practitioner. He told me that he had a sense of fear while doing his job for a long time now. He promised me that he would no longer be involved in persecution. Later he made a solemn declaration that he and his whole family quit the CCP and its related organizations.
My understanding in Master has already granted us all the power that comes from cultivation before the persecution began. As long as we have a firm belief in Dafa, we can overcome all tribulations.
I was once arrested and held in a police station. When the police were ready to interrogate me, I saw the words “Interrogation Report” on the computer screen. I thought: I am a Dafa practitioner, not a criminal. How can they interrogate me? I stood up and walked out. A policeman followed me and asked, “Where are you going?”
When I raised my right foot, I disappeared. When I came to, I was at a place two blocks away from the police station. Master “picked me up!” A practitioner asked me what was I thinking at the time. I said that I had thought of nothing—my mind was completely empty. I only thought that I was a Dafa practitioner and they should not interrogate me.
I heard about a practitioner who suffered a great deal in prison and when he came out, others asked him what was it like inside. He said, “I did not remember much suffering, I was happy.”
Over the course of twenty years of cultivation, Master has protected me and held my hand step by step. Whenever I came across difficulties and tribulations, the power of Fa would manifest itself to inspire and encourage me.
I firmly believe that the power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will help me overcome all difficulties, and I will follow Master to go back home.
I learned how to look within, how to accommodate others, and enjoy a simple and happy life. I am so fortunate and happy to have Master's grace shining upon me. I am deeply grateful. Thank you, Master, thank you Dafa!
