(Minghui.org) Master saved me and gave me a new life. My life is not for me to live a comfortable life among ordinary people. It is for me to awaken people.
With a deep heartfelt appreciation to Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa), I would like to give Master my report.
Master Brought Happiness to Me and My Family
I am 68 years old with only an elementary school education. Before cultivation, I was tormented by different illnesses, including heart disease, chronic inflammation of the kidneys, neurasthenia, etc.
I was bedridden for three years. My daughter did all my housework. She would cry each time after visiting me because she thought I was going to die at any time.
I was really on the brink of death; I had lost all hope.
I was very fortunate to start practicing Falun Dafa in February 1996. Within four days of practicing many of the illnesses that had been torturing me disappeared. I did not have to pay a cent for medical care or take any medication.
I was a person who was well known for being ill. I became an entirely healthy person within just a few days. I was shocked. I firmly believed in Dafa from my heart, and vowed to follow Master and cultivate with determination until the end.
My story stunned our entire village. Many people were also anxious to start practicing Dafa. I established a Fa study group in my house. Around 30 people came. We studied the Fa and did the exercises together. We were improving rapidly with the help of Master. My life was filled with happy sunshine.
I lived according to Dafa's requirements. I thought about others first and had a good relationship with my neighbors, relatives, and friends. In my family, I treated everyone with kindness. I treated my daughter-in-law and son-in-law as my own children.
My husband and I lived with our son's family for more than 20 years. I brought up our grandchildren while my son and his wife worked. Our granddaughter is now 23 years old.
I have been caring and considerate of my daughter-in-law. In order to reduce her stress, I did all the housework. When we cooked good food at home I would let them eat first. Then I took care of the leftovers.
My dramatic changes after cultivation gained me respect and love from the whole family. They often helped me distribute materials to awaken people. As a result they also received great rewards.
Here is one example. It was snowing outside during lunar December of one year, and the roads were slippery. My daughter and her husband went out of town to get supplies for their seafood business.
On the way back, their tire suddenly burst as they were driving downhill on a highway. There were deep trenches at each side of the road. It was too late to brake.
My daughter yelled, “Falun Dafa is Good”, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is Good”, and “Master Li Hongzhi please save us!”
As she finished saying the words, their speeding car suddenly came to a halt. They found with surprise that two trees were just on the two sides of the car. They had avoided a serious car accident.
My daughter was touched to tears. My son-in-law said with excitement, “It was Dafa's Master who saved us. Otherwise we would have lost our lives.” They thanked Master from their hearts, as did my entire family.
There are nine people in my family. They all practice Falun Dafa now. They work hard doing the three things. My daughter's family also established a Fa study group. They work together during the day and then study the Fa together at night. Everyone compares the Fa teachings with how they put cultivation into practice and improve very quickly.
My daughter and son-in-law work with other practitioners and drive to the countryside at night to distribute materials.
In their business trading they act fairly, have proper minds, and treat people with honesty. Customers like to purchase items from their stand. In recent years, their family business has been more and more successful. Their family has also become happier.
Clarify the Truth and Saving People As a Team
I'm the oldest among the seven practitioners in our Fa study group. However, I feel like a youngster. Master has purified my body so I look healthy. I have fewer wrinkles than before; my gray hair became black again. My body feels light while walking. Every time the team has group projects, I always join. That is because the power of a team is very strong. It is also Master's requirement for disciples.
For the last four or five years, fellow practitioners and I have distributed materials in the distant countryside at least twice a week. I would go whenever they called me. We leave after breakfast and return before lunch. This way, we don't delay cooking meals for our family members.
Neither the cold winter nor the hot summer can affect our passion for saving people. With Master's reminders in my heart, I have placed the task of awakening people as my priority in life.
We have walked across the entire countryside surrounding my city. We have distributed more than 100,000 truth-clarification materials and brought the beauty of Dafa to tens of thousands of families. We put our heart into everything we do. We try not to miss any family that came for the Fa. Many villages have received our materials more than once.
We distribute materials to five or six villages in one morning. I can walk as far as the young practitioners. My body feels light while I walk. I have no feeling of tiredness. No matter how hot it gets in summer or how much I perspire, I never feel tired or thirsty. I know clearly that this is because of Master's compassionate support.
I feel very glad every time I see the happy smiles of the saved sentient beings. I wish them the best in my heart. During this process, some of my attachments, such as fear, anxiety, and zealotry, were eliminated by Master. He has helped me become purer and purer so that I could save more people.
For several years I have placed the task of saving people as my highest priority. I walk around the streets every day with two fellow practitioners and distribute materials, give out Shen Yun DVDs, put up small signs, and clarify the truth to people face-to-face.
We have encountered many touching stories. Below are a few examples that took place recently.
1. “Thank You Dafa's Master”
There is a large market to the east of our district. It runs about two miles from south to north. The market is open five days a week. A practitioner and I visit every booth and bring different kinds of truth-clarification materials to the vendors.
After we had been there several times, many people remembered our faces. Some people greet to us as if we were friends. Some people have yelled out “Falun Dafa is Good” when they saw us. Others remind us to be cautious and to avoid being seen by bad people. They all understand the facts about Falun Gong. We are very touched.
One time, fellow practitioners and I went to the market to distribute Shen Yun DVDs and truth-clarification pamphlets. At a booth that was selling meat, I asked the vendor warmheartedly, “Do you have a DVD player at home?” He replied yes and asked me why.
I told him, “Here is a DVD of a global Chinese New Year performance. It promotes our 5000 years of divinely-inspired culture.”
He took the DVD. I asked him to watch it when he gets home and to show it to his friends and family afterward. I said, “Whoever watches it will gain good fortune. Whoever sees it will be saved. I have watched it more than 10 times.” He kept thanking me.
I told him to thank Dafa's Master instead. He said, “Thank you Dafa's Master.”
The next time the market opened, we saw the man again. He looked very happy. I asked him if he watched the DVD. He said, “I did. It's very good!”
I gave him the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,“We Are Telling the Future,” and some software to break through the firewall. He told me joyfully that his business has been going very well. I told him, “That's because you gained good fortune after you learned the truth.”
I kept walking and saw a person selling vegetables. I asked him, “Do you want a DVD of a global Chinese New Year performance?” He accepted it and asked me for truth-clarification pamphlets. I gave him one and he said he would read it thoroughly as soon as he got home.
He then clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said, “Thank you.” I told him to thank Dafa's Master instead. He said, “Thank you Dafa's Master!”
2. “They Performed Really Well”
I saw a middle-aged woman at the market who was selling underwear. I asked her, “Do you want a DVD of a Chinese New Year performance?” She asked, “Is it for this year?” I said yes. Then she said, “I haven't seen this year's. I have only seen the one from last year. It's really good.”
I said, “This year's is even better. Take it home and watch it.” She took it with joy and said thank you. I told her to thank our Master.
After a few days, I saw her again at the market and asked her if she watched it. She said with a smile, “I watched it. They performed really well!” She also told me that things in her family had gone very smoothly after they learned the truth about Falun Dafa.
They used to have trouble getting their retirement pension, but this time it was approved very quickly. She also told her son and daughter-in-law that Falun Dafa is good.
I was very touched and said, “You are so nice. I am really happy that your family will have a beautiful future.”
As I kept on walking, I saw a man selling tomatoes. I smiled and said to him, “Do you have a DVD player at home?” He said with a cold voice, “Yes, but I still don't want it.” I still smiled and said, “It's okay. I won't force you. The most important thing is that you know 'Falun Dafa is Good' in order to be saved!”
He said with a tough tone, “At your age, you still do this?” I was not mad and continued with a compassionate tone, “I used to have many illnesses, to the point that I couldn't even cook. My family suffered because of my illnesses. I have been practicing Falun Dafa for 18 years. All my illnesses have disappeared. I did not take a single pill or have any injections. My family now has a very happy life. Is Dafa good or bad?”
He was quiet. The practitioner next to me continued, “Don't believe the lies made up by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The movements that it has launched have killed 80 million of our countrymen … ” She also told him about the staged self-immolation at Tiananmen Square and that many high-ranking officials in the CCP have been investigated and punished.
He understood us and took the Shen Yun DVD. The fellow practitioner said to him, “Watch it when you get home. I guarantee that you will not have the same attitude when I see you next at the market.”
When we next saw him at the market his attitude had really changed. He smiled as he spoke to us. The fellow practitioner asked him, “Have you watched the Shen Yun DVD?”
He clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said to us sincerely with joy, “I watched it. They performed really well.”
We gave him The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, “Walking between Heaven and Earth among Hardships,” and some other materials. He took them with both hands. We could see that he had truly understood the truth. We were happy that he made the correct choice. In our heart we also thanked Master for his compassion for this sentient being.
I saw a young man selling watermelons. I asked him if he wanted a DVD, but he said I gave him one last time. He then yelled out, “Falun Dafa is Good.” He yelled so loud that people far away could hear it. I was very touched. I was moved by his kindness.
Another time, I went to buy meat with my daughter. The owner knew my daughter. She asked her who I was. My daughter told her that I was her mother. She then asked how old I was. My daughter told her that I was almost 70. The owner wouldn't believe it.
I told her that it's true. Practicing Falun Gong made my body healthy. I then started clarifying the truth to her and gave her a Shen Yun DVD and some software to break through the firewall.
The owner's husband asked with a cold face, “It's Falun Gong right?” I said to them, “Yes! It is promoting the 5000 years of our Chinese civilization. It tours all over the world every year. This year it performed 37 shows in Taiwan alone and every show was a full house.” Then I started talking about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and my physical changes after cultivating Dafa.
His attitude softened. He asked me how much the DVD cost. I said, “No charge. It's free. It is a priceless treasure that cannot be bought with any amount of money. Whoever sees it will be saved. Whoever sees it will gain great fortune. Take a good look when you get home!”
His attitude changed entirely. He took the DVD happily and kept saying “Thank you!” I told him not to thank me but to thank our Master instead. It was Master who encouraged us tell people the truth so that they can survive the disaster. When I was leaving, I wished their business success and their family a bright future. He kept saying, “Thank you!”
3. Encouraging a Fellow Practitioner to Return to Cultivation
One time at the market, I saw a couple selling watermelons. I asked the man whether he had watched the show. He said he hadn't. Then he sat down and whispered to me that he also practices Falun Gong.
I asked, “How come you don't have Shen Yun DVDs?” He said, “There is a lot of work to do in the countryside. I don't have the time to study the Fa. And no one gives me the materials.”
I said to him, “Master's Fa rectification is nearing the end, but it hasn't yet ended so there is still time. When you go home hurry up and study the Fa! Then gather the people who learned it before to study the Fa, do the exercises, do the three things, and improve together. Otherwise, it will be too late for regret in the future when it comes to an end.”
Then I gave him Shen Yun DVDs, The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, “We are Telling the Future,” and some other materials. I asked him if he had eaten. He said he hadn't because selling watermelons was not that profitable. I bought two bowls of noodles and a bag of bread for him.
I went to the market the next day. I brought all the Shen Yun DVDs from 2007 to 2013 and some truth-clarification materials for him. I asked him to watch them a few times when he gets home. I gave him some more materials again a few days later when I saw him at the market. He told me with joy that he now has all kinds of materials.
I reminded him not to forget to study the Fa because of the large amount of work. I'm happy that he could come back to Dafa.
Treasuring Opportunities
One summer night last year, three practitioners and I started distributing materials and putting up signs about Falun Gong. Within a few months, we have walked through every residential area and every building in and outside the city. We all felt that what we were doing was sacred. We treasure every material.
We did not feel tired no matter how far we walked. But we feel that it is okay if we are tired or suffer a little bit, as long as more sentient beings can be awakened. This is our responsibility.
Over these years, we have gone out almost every day to clarify the truth. We have experienced so much and there are so many touching stories. We have done what we should do. We are fulfilling our vows. In the days to come, I will not relax and will maintain diligence and do the three things well.
Thank you benevolent Master! Thank you fellow practitioners!
