(Minghui.org) I suffered severe nearsightedness from an early age, and had to use spectacles with high power multifocal lenses. As I grew older, my nearsightedness progressively worsened. I was almost blind, unable to read or watch television unless I sat directly in front of the screen.
After I became a Falun Dafa practitioner, I used a magnifying glass to read the Dafa books. I persisted, even though reading just one page took an incredible amount of effort and made my arms sore. On the sixth day of Fa study, my vision suddenly became clear. I could see things clearly without using the magnifying glass, and I was able to read and study the Fa continuously for hours on end.
Incredibly motivated, I persevered in Fa study despite the persecution. Soon after, my chronic rheumatoid arthritis, neck pain, uterine fibroids, and my other illnesses disappeared.
Tribulations for Practitioners to Overcome
I tried my best to repay Dafa for the benefits bestowed upon me. When I was done with my work, I often went out to distribute Dafa informational materials. I also tried to persuade people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Most of my relatives, friends and classmates renounced the CCP.
Someone told me of a village woman who was so frightened by a large tree beetle that had landed on her that she had gone into shock. Her legs were too weak to stand, and she was unable to open her eyes. The local clinic administered five bottles of IV fluids, but she didn't get much better, and she wanted to go to a hospital.
When I heard what had happened, I went to visit her at home.
I gave her an amulet, talked to her about Dafa, and told her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance is good.” She recovered and was in good spirits when I met her a few days later. Many others heard of her recovery and asked for amulets. Some also began to recite, “Falun Dafa is good.”
In the past, my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law ganged up on me and bullied me. I was filled with pent up hurt and grievances. The memories of my humiliation made my heart tremble with rage. However as a cultivator, I use the Fa principles to examine myself and cultivate a heart of compassion toward others. All tribulations along the path of cultivation practice are prepared for practitioners to overcome. If I could not handle this, how could I elevate in levels? I should thank them instead for providing me with this cultivation environment.
With this thought, the grievances within my heart gradually disappeared. I have associated with my sisters-in-law over these past few years, and talked to them about Dafa. My sisters-in-law and their families have all quit the CCP.
Assisting Practitioners in Cultivation Practice
I live in a major city. Because of the severe persecution, our situation remains very grim. Our main coordinators were persecuted, and now practitioners rarely communicate with each other. There is a particular lack of communication with practitioners living in rural villages. Some do not have Internet access, and thus are unable to get the Minghui Weekly or Dafa materials. Others with physical disabilities are forced to live in nursing homes. I assumed the responsibility to deliver the Minghui Weekly and truth clarification materials to them year round.
Master has always been merciful towards Dafa disciples and sentient beings in this world. Although I am a more recent practitioner, I am determined to do my best as a Dafa disciple.
