(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa at the beginning of 1998. I found the answers to the questions I had for years and I understood the meaning of life. I was very excited and realized I was extremely fortunate.
Master Watches Over Me
In the winter of 2002, the heads of the local Domestic Security Division and the 610 Office organized the police to abduct Falun Dafa practitioners from their homes. To avoid being arrested, I decided to leave home and stay with a relative.
One day, I delivered truth-clarification materials to practitioners in two villages, and then I went to an experience sharing meeting at a practitioner’s house in yet another village. Soon after I arrived, a practitioner called me and said, “Your husband asked me to tell you that the head of the Domestic Security Division is looking for you everywhere, so don’t come home.’”
When I heard this, I was nervous and didn’t know what to do. The other practitioners said, “Do not acknowledge the old forces’ arrangements. They don’t have power over you!” I said, “Right, I don’t acknowledge it!”
Everyone continued talking about their cultivation experiences, but I couldn’t calm down. I thought, “If I don’t go home, I’ll be acknowledging the persecution, let alone adding an additional burden to the fellow practitioner’s family by staying there...” I couldn’t pay attention to the experience sharing.
I suddenly remembered what Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, said:
“Being a practitioner is supernormal, so as a supernormal person, you must conduct yourself with supernormal principles instead of measuring yourself with those of everyday people. If you do not know the karmic relationship of a matter, you are likely to handle it incorrectly. Therefore, we teach wuwei, and you should not do something just because you want to. Some people say: “I just want to discipline bad people.” I would say that you are best off becoming a policeman.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
I’m not a criminal, I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. How can a police officer arrest good people? Isn’t that committing a bad deed? Isn’t that creating karma?
Master’s merciful hints calmed me down. I was a little excited and shared my thoughts with fellow practitioners. I understood what it meant to truly negate all of the old forces’ arrangements.
After the experience sharing, I got on my bike and headed home. Around 11 p.m. I was passing through a village when I noticed four or five large dogs playing nearby. As I rode past them, they suddenly began to bark and chased after me.
As the dogs chased me, I peddled as fast as I could. I sent righteous thoughts: “Eliminate all evil elements that are using the dogs to persecute me!” followed by the verses.
One dog touched the back wheel of my bicycle, and another dog touched my foot. I shouted, “Master, please help!” I heard the dogs whining as if they’d been struck by a stick and they scattered. I burst into tears. Master saved my life! I knew Master was next to me. There are no words to express my gratitude to Master!
After I got back to my older sister’s house (she is also a practitioner), she told me that, when our brother saw the head of the Domestic Security Division a few days before, the official told him to persuade me to return home. He claimed that everything would be fine if I wrote a guarantee statement. That frightened my husband and that was why he phoned me and told me not to return home.
It was a false alarm! My fear caused the ordeal.
Stung by a Wasp
At 9 a.m. on August 31, 2020, I went to pick grapes and a wasp stung me on my left thumb. I squeezed out the venom with my right hand and then ignored it because I had been stung before. I figured that, as a practitioner, I would be fine, so I continued picking grapes.
Soon, I felt my ears burning, and my head felt heavy, as if was filled with lead. I washed the grapes and gave them to the children. I still didn’t take the sting too seriously and kept saying “Falun Dafa is good!” Discomfort spread to my entire body, so I went to my room, turned on the music, and began doing the exercises.
After I finished the first exercise, I felt my whole body was burning and I could barely stand. My heart started feeling increasingly uncomfortable. I sat down on the sofa with my legs crossed and began to send forth righteous thoughts.
At this point, my whole body swelled and was covered with red bumps, and I couldn’t open my eyes because they were too swollen. My son came in with my granddaughter in his arms. My son has always been very supportive of Dafa, but when he saw the redness and swelling, he wanted to take me to the doctor. I told him there was no need. I asked him to just keep saying, “Falun Dafa is good!”
I held the firm thought, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and I assist Master to do Fa-rectification and save sentient beings! All the living beings in this small universe of my body are under the command of my main consciousness.”
I sent out the thought, “Now, completely clear away all the evil dark minions and rotten demons, as well as all of the elements of the communist evil specter that persecute Dafa and interfere with practitioners. Master, please strengthen me.”
I remembered Master said,
“Falun is a miniature of the universe that possesses all of the universe’s capabilities, and it can operate and rotate automatically.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
“If it is given to you, it is yours, and it is dictated by your mind.”(Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
I asked the Heavenly Law-Guardians to help me.
I began to sweat profusely and continued sending righteous thoughts. About five minutes later, I felt the swelling all over my body going down. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock—it was 9:30 a.m., 30 minutes after I’d been stung.
I was supposed to meet two practitioners at 9:30, but there were still bumps on my arms and my eyes were still a little swollen. I thought, “If I go and let people see me like this, I will not be able to validate Dafa.” So I continued sending forth righteous thoughts. I decided I wouldn’t go out until I was completely back to normal.
Over the next 20 minutes, strengthened by Master, I felt every cell in my body cooling down like hot water meeting ice.
At 9:50, my whole body felt light and I knew I’d returned to normal. Our benevolent Master saved me once again and allowed me to witness Dafa’s profoundness and supernatural power!
Looking inside, I realized that, prior to this, when I was talking about a practitioner giving talks that disrupted the Fa, I was expressing a cynical resentment that had been hidden deep in my heart. I would not have detected it had I not measured myself with the Fa.
It’s easy to go along with surface appearances and be fooled by superficial diligence, thinking one is genuinely cultivating. When I noticed conflicts among practitioners, I felt they were doing poorly. I became indignant and blamed them.
Behind my resentment, I found other attachments, such as competitiveness, jealousy, self-righteousness, and stubbornness. These acquired notions and false reasoning confused my true self and hindered my true self’s diligent advancement and improvement.
When I discovered these attachments, I had a firm thought: “I don’t want them. Clear them out. Master, please help strengthen me.”
I got on my electric tricycle and rode to the practitioner’s home. When they asked why I was late, I told them the whole story, including about my attachments I’d just found. They were both amazed. We were all grateful to Dafa’s boundless power. We were all happy to bask in Master’s great compassion.
Due to my limited education, I am not able to fully express the beauty and magnificence of Dafa and Master’s benevolence that I have personally experienced. This concludes my true experience that I’d like to share to validate the greatness of Dafa.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
