Doing the Three Things Well and Reporting a Satisfactory Result to Master

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa before July 20, 1999, and I am 86 years old. I didn’t have any schooling. Luckily, I obtained the Fa and now know the meaning of life. I’d like to share some of my experiences with practitioners and report to Master about how I started practicing and how I have assisted Master in the Fa-rectification.

Obtaining the Fa

I used to be a sickly person and suffered from severe neurosis and migraines. I was on medication all the time. I had sinusitis, chronic pharyngitis, anemia, an irregular heartbeat, arthritis, numbness in the hands, bone hyperplasia, and a heel spur. I was often in so much pain that I could not sleep the whole night, and if I slept I would sweat so much that my hair would become wet and tangled. I had to quit my job and stayed home for seven and a half months. I was on medication for more than three decades. I lived miserably.

One day in October 1996, I went out for a walk. I saw many people practicing some exercises at the senior center. I asked someone what kind of exercises they were practicing. The person said that it was Falun Dafa. She told me that this exercise had amazing health benefits. I thought to myself that I had hope now, since this practice was so good and it could heal my illnesses. I followed their movements to do the second set of exercises.

I went to the practice site at 4 a.m. to do the exercises and studied the Fa at 6 p.m. with the group every day after that. I was illiterate, so I listened to them reading the book. One day my son learned that I had started practicing Falun Dafa. He gave me the copy of Zhuan Falun that he was going to give to a friend. I was very happy. When I opened the book and saw Master’s photo, tears streamed down my face. But I couldn’t read. When fellow practitioners read the book, I tried to follow along, but I couldn’t keep up. I constantly asked the people next to me which paragraph we were reading.

The assistant arrived at the practice site early to open the door for us. She took a TV set on a trolley to the practice site on Sundays to play Master’s lecture videos for us. When I watched the video, I couldn’t hold back my tears until the video finished. I couldn’t stop my tears.

I went to do the exercises and studied the Fa at the practice site every day. Three months passed. I didn’t take any medication, but I didn’t feel uncomfortable. Instead I felt light. This practice was so amazing. I regretted that I had started practicing so late. I was determined to practice Falun Dafa.

I had to look after my three grandsons at that time. The eldest was seven while the youngest was two years old. I also had to do all the chores, cook three meals, and work on the farm, but I didn’t feel tired. I felt happy every day.

I was half asleep one day when I noticed that I had floated up. I was scared yet excited. What was going on? Then I came down slowly, just like Master had mentioned in the book. I told practitioners at the practice site about it. They said that Master was encouraging me. This incident reinforced my confidence in cultivation.

Safeguarding the Fa

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners on July 20, 1999. The senior center denied access to us. We had to study the Fa outside on the roadside. We shared and decided to go to the provincial government compound to tell the officials the facts about Falun Dafa. We called a taxi. We saw police officers everywhere, all the way to the government compound. They were stopping every car to check. We followed another car closely and the police didn’t check ours.

The taxi dropped us near the government compound, and we then walked toward the compound and met practitioners from many other places along the way. They told us that the government compound was full of practitioners. The police were clearing it, but the practitioners didn’t leave. Policemen were carrying practitioners into vans and taking them away. There were so many practitioners that the police couldn’t hold them in one place and sent some of them away to places outside the provincial capital.

When we arrived at the government compound, before we entered the yard, a policeman came and asked me if I practiced Falun Dafa. I answered yes. He asked why I came. I said, “I used to have all sorts of illnesses. I practice Falun Dafa and have recovered from all the illnesses without spending a penny. Why does the government not allow us to practice such a good exercise?” The policeman wore a straight face and didn’t answer. He pushed me into a bus. The bus circled around the government compound for over an hour and didn’t leave until it was filled with practitioners.

When all the practitioners were taken away, fully armed soldiers entered the compound and did a rehearsal there. I saw that military vehicles were everywhere on the roads around the compound. Green nets covered the cars. They looked frightening. I felt like there was going to be a war. The soldiers who were supposed to protect the country had turned their guns toward the citizens who were defenseless and just wanted to be good people. We just wanted to tell the government that we are a group of good people who assume their responsibilities in their respective roles in society, but the government treated us like this. Wasn’t this country doomed?

We were sent to a stadium at about 8 p.m. The stadium was full of practitioners. The police followed us, even when we went to the toilet. They tried to force us to give them our addresses. The loudspeaker broadcast content slandering Falun Dafa. Practitioners clarified the facts about Falun Dafa and how they had benefited from it to the police officers. One police officer said, “Some of us practice Falun Dafa as well. We know Dafa is good. But the leader orders us to do this. We don’t have any choice.”

Local policemen took us back at midnight. I refused to sign the guarantee statement. I had recovered from all my illnesses through practicing Falun Dafa. How could I betray Master and Dafa? How could I sell out my conscience? I would rather lose my life than sell out my conscience. I would definitely not betray Master and Dafa. My righteous thoughts eliminated the evil. The police contacted my family and released me.

Validating the Fa

Seven practitioners at our Fa study group started to give out Falun Dafa flyers to let people know the facts so that they would not to be deceived by the CCP’s lies. I went out to give out flyers, rain or shine. I photocopied the flyers at a photocopy shop when I ran out. I normally photocopied a big bag of flyers at a time.

My husband and I went to a rehabilitation center in a coastal city down south. I didn’t know any practitioners in that city and couldn’t get any Dafa materials. I hand wrote posters and put them up in the streets. I also spent cash with truth-clarification messages on it when shopping. I was reported to the police. They surrounded the place where we stayed. They tried to take me away but I didn’t cooperate.

I sent forth righteous thoughts for three days without sleeping. They tried to remove me. I said to them seriously, “We came here for his rehabilitation. My husband is seriously ill. He relies on me. Please don’t drag and push me.” One police officer said, “Yeah, you are elderly people. If you were young, we would have carried you away.” They scolded me for putting up posters everywhere, including on the bridge. When my husband took a nap at noon, I went out to put up posters as much as I could so that more people could get the message and be saved.

I felt sorry for the police officers who were used by the CCP to persecute good people. I clarified the truth to them and told them that Falun Dafa is beneficial to people and society, and that about 100 million people practice Falun Dafa nationwide. I also told them about the health benefits I had experienced from practicing Falun Dafa.

My husband was scared and called my children. A big group of people from my hometown came to see me. They negotiated with the police. In the end I returned home successfully.

My Whole Family Benefits

Everyone who has experienced the persecution in various political campaigns launched by the CCP knows its despicable methods of persecution. My family was afraid that I would be persecuted. They wouldn’t allow me to practice Falun Dafa after July 20, 1999. My husband watched me. I only read Dafa books when he went out.

I later realized that I should practice Falun Dafa openly and with dignity because Master had given me good health and I had become a good person after I practiced Falun Dafa. I shared my thoughts with my husband. I said to him, “You were persecuted without any reason during the Cultural Revolution. They criticized you for a whole night. They painted you with a ghost face and shaved your hair like a ghost. They put a metal hat weighing 12 kilos on your head. You stood on a stool with a bent back for a whole night. You were nearly suffocated. What crime did you commit? How do you still believe their slanderous propaganda?” He didn’t say anything. After I shared with him several times, he agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He supports me practicing Falun Dafa. I am very happy and look after him well. When other practitioners come to my home, he no longer opposes them. Instead he prepares tea for them.

My husband was hospitalized a few years ago. Our children took turns looking after him. He insisted that I look after him in the hospital. If I wouldn’t stay with him, he said he would not cooperate with the treatment. I was 80 years old that year. I thought that there must be predestined people there to listen to the truth, so I’d better go. I stayed in the hospital looking after him. The patients in the same ward were curious. I took this opportunity to clarify the truth to them. They were happy to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

One day he got ill again. I said to him, “You get ill again and again. You can’t sleep or eat well. How much suffering it is! Do you believe in Falun Dafa? I will read the Fa to you. If you accept it, it will help you.” He said earnestly, “Yes, I accept it. I accept it.” I read the Fa to him for a whole night. I didn’t feel tired or sleepy. When he woke up in the morning, he was happy and said that he had a good sleep. He hadn’t slept well for a long time. He thanked me. I said, “Don’t thank me. You should thank Master. You protected Falun Dafa practitioners before. You have been blessed. Master helps you.”

One day my daughter-in-law had chest pain and couldn’t see. She called my son and asked him to send her to the hospital. She suddenly remembered that I often told her to recite “Falun Dafa is good.” She then started reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” on the way to the hospital, and she felt better and better. The symptoms disappeared, as if nothing had happened to her. She felt excited and told my son that these phrases had indeed worked. They went home instead of going to the hospital. She has not suffered from heart problems since. She believes in Falun Dafa and reads the book Zhuan Falun.

My son fell from a four-meter-high ladder when he tried to fix a leak on the roof of the garage after he had parked his car at 6 p.m. one day in 2023. He passed out. When he came around, he didn’t know what had happened to him and how long he had passed out. He gradually recalled that he had fallen from the ladder. But he didn’t feel any pain and had no injury. He wondered how come he was completely all right even though he had fallen from a tall ladder. He had a checkup in the hospital the next day and the exam showed that there was a crack in his rib cage but it was not misaligned. The doctor said that it would be very painful. He recovered from it without any medication or treatment.

I couldn’t hold back my tears while he was telling me his story. I couldn’t thank Master enough for his protection. I said to my son, “Son, you have been blessed because you believe in Falun Dafa. When I was persecuted, you helped me. You carry the amulet with you. Master protected you.”

Clarifying the Truth

I remember that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and don’t miss any opportunity to clarify the truth. I had eye discomfort for some time. I looked within but couldn’t identify the attachments which had lead to this issue. My children insisted that I have an eye examination. I decided to take this opportunity to clarify the truth to the doctor. After I had eye surgery, a young nurse came to change the dressing for me. I took this opportunity to tell her about Falun Dafa and the persecution. She agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

My daughter was afraid and tugged on my arm to prevent me from clarifying the truth. I later said to her seriously, “Daughter, don’t do that. You see your brother helped me clarify the truth when he looked after me. You know how blessed he is.”

My children often invite their friends and classmates to our home. I never miss these good opportunities to clarify the truth to them. My son invited one of his classmates home one day in 2024. This classmate was very capable and had been promoted to become a high level government official. He was later transferred to a high position in another province. Due to a lack of connections in that city, he was forcibly deposed from his position and returned home. But he had already sold his house in his hometown. His friends and relatives knew that he had been promoted to a higher position in the other province. He felt he had lost face when he returned home. He felt depressed every day.

My son felt for him and invited him to have dinner with us in the hopes that he could talk him out of his anxiety. I took this opportunity to clarify the truth to him. I told him how evil the CCP is, how the CCP persecuted 80 million people to death, and why it is doomed. He was surprised to learn that the CCP had lied to people so much. I said, “It is good that you are no longer in that corrupt position because you will accumulate less karma. It is a good thing.” He laughed heartily and agreed to quit the CCP with his real name. He said, “Thank you, auntie! You didn’t receive much education but you know a lot. You spoke really eloquently. I admire you!”

My children took turns looking after me after my husband passed away. They played mahjong and were very noisy. My daughter later moved in with me. But I didn’t get along with her. After I shared with other practitioners, I realized that I didn’t behave according to the Fa. I was selfish and wanted my daughter to do things according to my will. Later on, when I had conflicts with her again, I recited Master’s teaching: “He’s right, and I’m wrong.” (“Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong”, Hong Yin III)

Practitioners study the Fa in my home. When they point out my shortcomings, I accept it, look within, and cultivate myself. I also help practitioners who have recently returned to cultivation. I often go out to clarify the truth to people in person.

Thank you, Master! Thank you for your protection. I am so lucky that I cultivate in Falun Dafa.
