(Minghui.org) I first learned about circumventing the internet blockade and visiting the Minghui website in 2013. Even though I knew how important this website was, I didn’t visit it daily until 2016. Reading sharing articles on Minghui every day has really helped me tremendously in my cultivation.
Master told us:
“It can be said that among the websites that Dafa disciples run, this is a crucial one.”
and
“Minghui is very important. The first-hand information that it gets from China is definitely reliable, and no other website approaches things from the same angle--that is, as a window into Dafa disciples' cultivation. Then as Dafa disciples, you must have a positive view of Minghui, regardless of whatever ordinary people may think.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website’s Founding”)
Master also said:
“Minghui.org provides Dafa disciples with a forum for sharing and exchanging ideas, while also offering non-practitioners a window into our world.” (“2018 Fa Teaching Given in Washington, D.C.” Team Yellow Translation)
“Study the Fa more, and take a look at some of the articles on Clearwisdom that students publish to share with each other. They are truly wonderful, and indeed very mature. Some of the articles were really well written. Compare yourselves with those and see where you fall short.” (Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005)
Improving My Xinxing and Catching Up
Whenever I encountered a xinxing test, I would visit Minghui. Oftentimes, I would come across an article about a similar situation. After reading it, I knew what I should do to elevate my xinxing. I sincerely thanked the practitioner and appreciated Master's guidance.
My father was hospitalized three times beginning in May of 2019. He was bedridden and relied on me for everything. As time went on, I started to resent my father and my fear of filth and stench intensified. But when I read the sharing article “The Story of Two Wills” on Minghui, I felt ashamed of myself.
In this article, a practitioner was taking care of her father-in-law, who had constipation and was miserable. While caring for him in the hospital, she helped him clean up after a bowel movement with her bare hands.
I was deeply touched by her kind heart. She could care for her father-in-law so compassionately, but I couldn’t do that even for my own father. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate my attachments and was able to be devoted in taking care of my father. I thanked Master for arranging this opportunity for me to improve.
Another article reminded us to pay close attention to the exercise music downloaded from the website and to verify the quality. I remembered reading a similar article in the past but I let it pass. I thought I would ask a fellow practitioner who was good at computers to check it for me, but then I just forgot.
After I read the newer article, I realized that I needed to overcome my fear of difficulty. I followed the steps in the article and checked the music myself. It turned out there were some issues with the music I’d downloaded earlier! I downloaded the file again and made sure I had the correct music to do the exercises with.
Husband Blessed after Learning the Truth
My husband is a police officer. When the persecution began, he was deceived by the propaganda and tried to make me stop practicing Falun Dafa. He tore up Dafa books and took my Dafa video and audiotapes to the police station. He even threatened to divorce me.
I did not give up on him, knowing that he had always been a kind person and was just poisoned by the CCP. I always found opportunities to talk to him about Dafa to clear up his misunderstandings.
I often told him about what I’d read on Minghui.org, including how people around the world expressed their sincere gratitude to Master and Dafa and how they sent hm beautiful postcards. I also shared with him the karmic retribution cases reported online.
I showed him the large characters formed by practitioners in Taiwan and New York and pictures of schoolteachers, students, and police officers doing the Falun Dafa exercises together. He saw for himself that Dafa is welcomed, respected, and cherished everywhere in the world.
In addition, I also showed him the video clip about the U.S. State Department’s decision to cancel visas for human rights’ perpetrators. Eventually he realized it was legal to practice Falun Dafa in China, and illegal to persecute it.
After understanding the facts, my husband told me that he made sure that nobody mistreated Falun Dafa practitioners where he worked and he would do his best to protect them. He no longer interferes with me when I study the Fa or do the exercises.
Blessed by learning the truth and changing his view of Dafa, his high blood pressure returned to normal.
