(Minghui.org) Over 30 years since Falun Dafa was first introduced to the world, it has changed the hearts of millions of people. When people abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, they are blessed with peace and health. The following are a couple of examples related by two different Falun Dafa practitioners.
One Kind Thought Makes a Big Difference
On my way to work one morning on an eight-lane highway, I sped up to pass a pickup truck. The moment I passed him, I sensed he was changing into my lane. Suddenly, I heard a loud “bang” at the back of my car. We both stopped and pulled over to the side of the road. His truck had hit the rear of my car and the repairs would probably be costly.
I looked at the driver and saw he was embarrassed. “I was a bit drowsy and did not see your car when I changed lanes,” he said. I looked closely at his truck. It was old and worn and full of construction supplies. He must be in a hurry to get to work.
“You have to get to work so early, and I know it’s not easy for you. I won’t insist that you pay for the damage. I will fix it myself. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. Master Li taught us to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Do not believe the communist regime’s propaganda—it’s all lies and deceit.” The man responded, “You mean Falun Dafa is good?”
I clarified some basic information about Falun Dafa and the facts concerning the persecution. After I explained why we help people to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its organizations, he agreed to quit the Young Pioneers.
After I got to work, I went to clean the scratched and dented area on my car with a wet towel and, as it turned out, there was no damage whatsoever!
Master told us:
“We have said that good or bad comes from a person’s initial thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
Neighbor’s Life Changes After Learning the Truth
I went to visit a fellow practitioner in the spring of 2022. A neighbor of his was also there. She was very upset with tears in her eyes as she complained about how one of her other neighbors mistreated her.
I comforted her, saying “Most people nowadays think only about themselves. Particularly due to the Chinese Communist Party’s atheistic influence, some people do nothing but evil and dare to do anything bad. But it is heaven’s law that good is rewarded and evil is punished.
“I read an article from a Falun Dafa booklet that talked about how a poor village became prosperous. The village was very poor and people were doing bad things, such as stealing, fighting, quarreling, and disrespecting their parents. One of them learned Falun Dafa and helped the people who did these bad things to abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The villagers were able to accumulate virtue so that they could be protected and blessed by heaven. Gradually people changed and some also learned Falun Dafa. The village was indeed blessed with prosperity.”
I told the woman, “Heaven is watching over us. If everyone can abide by the principles of the universe, they will be blessed with a peaceful and prosperous life. How wonderful that would be! Also if you recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ you will be blessed just the same.” She smiled.
My fellow practitioner told me later that, ever since I told his neighbor the facts about Falun Dafa, she stopped complaining about her neighbor. Also, the leg pain she had endured for some time went away. This woman now works in the fields every day and is always in good spirits.
