(Clearwisdom.net) Before I started practicing Falun Dafa I had stomach aches, gastrointestinal problems, and nerve pain in my back due to reduced blood flow to my heart. I had received medical treatments for those conditions for a long time but nothing helped. Just when I was suffering with the most unendurable pain, a practitioner introduced me to Falun Dafa.
Years of pain simply disappeared the first night I went to the practice site. That night, I watched a video of Teacher's Lecture Seven. I started studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. My body was purified after I started practicing, and it felt very light when I walked. However, I soon became influenced by my attachment to money and opened a small shop. I also raised chickens. I had quit smoking after I started practicing but I picked it up again because I was always busy and tired with the shop and the birds. Although I knew that Teacher was purifying my body and I should not pollute it by smoking, I could not stop. Finally, I gave up the practice entirely and quit for about a year. During that year, all my illnesses gradually returned, and wrinkles appeared in my face. I decided to practice Falun Dafa again in August 1998. I went to the practice site to do the exercises and also went to group study to learn the Fa. My improvement was swift.
When Jiang and his gang began suppressing Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999, I went to the provincial capital and to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa. I was illegally arrested twice. When I was imprisoned in the Changping District in Beijing, I was injected with drugs and brutally force-fed. However, I managed to stay in contact with other practitioners in spite of the terror, and nothing could change my beliefs. I always managed to obtain Teacher's new articles. By studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and regularly sharing understandings with my fellow practitioners, I kept improving myself and was happy to help out other practitioners.
The first time I went to distribute flyers in my neighborhood, I was scared to death. I finished at night, and the next day I kept looking around to see if anyone was watching me or was coming to get me while I was at work. My mind was uneasy but my fear slowly subsided as I kept distributing flyers and posters and hanging banners.
By late 2001, practitioners in our region were able to make their own flyers to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa, and more and more practitioners became involved in distributing flyers. We were able to distribute 400 flyers at a time and our distribution area was expanding. Most of time we went to open areas in the countryside. We also posted posters and flyers on those trips. In one night, every household in the area got a flyer. Colorful posters could be seen in trees, on electricity poles, and walls. Later, "Falun Dafa Is Good" and "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance Is Good" appeared on walls and other places. People could read about the facts of Falun Dafa at home and look at Falun Dafa posters wherever they walked.
Fa-rectification advanced. We began using more convenient and cheaper tools to explain our standpoint. We used chalk to draw beautiful characters. We no longer waited for flyers, and just used chalk to write "Falun Dafa Is Good" around the towns and in the countryside. We also wrote "Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice" on walls and on the ground. On many walls and doors, we wrote a list of Jiang's crimes and the news that Jiang was being sued in international courts. We also wrote about specific cases of persecution and about the deaths of local practitioners, as well as cases of karmic retribution.
Almost everyone was familiar with the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and the resignations from the CCP and/or its affiliated organizations. Some teachers saw the messages about the Nine Commentaries and asked practitioners for the printed version. Some resigned from the CCP after they had finished reading the Nine Commentaries.
For several years, I spent my nights creating and distributing flyers that explained what Falun Dafa was all about. At the beginning I experienced a lot of serious interference. I got sick and thought that the illnesses from which I had suffered before I began practicing had come back. But no matter how I felt, no matter how bad the weather, nothing could stop me from participating in Fa-rectification. I also kept sending righteous thoughts.
Teacher has strengthened us. We validate the Fa with rationality and wisdom. All my sickness karma went away as I have Fa validated and saved sentient beings. Although I am in my 50s, I am still fit. My skin looks healthy and others envy me. Friends and colleagues always praise me. People who know me say that Falun Dafa is marvelous. They can accept Dafa, and many have resigned from the CCP.
My home is becoming ever more attractive to others. I organize and expose cases in which local CCP informers take part in the persecution. Teacher purifies not only my body but also my family environment. My kids and my husband are in good health and have good careers. I take things easy and things go well, and I am full of energy. I send righteous thoughts at the four designated times and every hour if I have extra time. I do the exercises at the nationwide exercise time at dawn and study the Fa in the mornings. My life is going well.
I hope that my experiences will help fellow practitioners who suffer from interference or karmic illness or are not diligent. We will eliminate the interference, save sentient beings, and cultivate ourselves in the process.
