In June 1994, we were very fortunate to be able to attend the Falun Gong class that Master Li held in Zhengzhou City. For me, that was the most unforgettable time of my life.
When I look back now, I realize the tremendous interference from different areas that Master Li faced when he was teaching the Fa. Before Master Li's class began, a fake Qigong master that was well known at that time had just finished a very expensive class. The auditorium that had been arranged for Master Li's class could not hold all the practitioners who wished to come, so the location was changed twice. In the end, the class was held in a simple gymnasium with a metal roof and metal walls. What impressed me most were the miraculous deeds that Master Li used to eliminate demons.
I remember that it was very hot on the third day of the lecture series. At around 6 p.m., as Master Li was lecturing, the sky that had been clear suddenly became black and cloudy. A strong wind started to blow, and rain and hail bounced off the metal roof, making a lot of noise. Dust swirled in the air. The power was knocked out and all the lights went off. It was raining very heavily. Master Li stopped speaking. He sat on the desk with his legs crossed on top of each other and started to do hand-gestures. Not more than 10 minutes later, it stopped raining and the sky became clear again. Some beams of sunlight broke into the auditorium through the windows and cracks. The lights went on again. I remember Master Li said one sentence, "Quite a lot come." Master Li also said he would treat all the practitioners in the class as disciples. We felt very excited by this. Seeing all this helped us to truly understand that Master Li is not an everyday person.
When I look back now, I realize that Master Li cleaned up many demons at that time, and he actually also endured a lot of hardships for us. After his lecture, Master Li said, "You should hurry home. It won't rain for half an hour." When we walked out, we saw some places on the street with potholes over 1 chi deep (note: chi is a unit of length, one chi is 1/3 of a meter, about one foot) and many trees were blown down by the strong wind. When we got back to our hotel, it started to rain again, but the rain was not heavy at all.
It was very hot in June in Zhengzhou City. When Master Li lectured, he seldom drank any water. After giving the lecture, Master Li also organized the teaching of the exercises and corrected practitioners' movements. I can't imagine how many hardships and sins Master Li endured for practitioners when he gave Fa lectures all across China. Every time I think about this, I burst into tears. The only way I can repay Master Li's compassionate salvation is through the righteous action of walking the path to validate the Fa and doing the three things well that Dafa practitioners should do: study the Fa (the teachings of Falun Dafa), send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth of Falun Dafa and the persecution to the world's people.
