Grateful for Master’s Boundless Compassion for Everyone

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa on January 1, 1997. The day after I finished watching the video of Master’s second lecture, all my eleven illnesses disappeared. I firmly believed that Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa and the miracles that Dafa manifested in me further strengthened my faith. I never doubted Dafa. I feel immensely happy and honored to be a practitioner during Fa-rectification.

Practicing Dafa has taught me to be strict with myself and to be considerate of others in everything I do. The people who know me have seen the beauty of Dafa through my behavior. They have come to see that practitioners are good people.

My Son’s Marriage

A relative introduced a girl to my son in January, 2005. As a practitioner I understood that a person’s fate is predetermined by Heaven, so I didn’t have any high requirements. I did not care about her education, job, or where she lived. I only asked that she be at least 1.6 meters (5.25 ft) tall, hardworking, thrifty, clean, and be down-to-earth.

When they met, the girl was 1.58 meters (5.18 ft) tall. I didn’t say anything, but my son liked her. He also knew that I was reluctant about her height. One day, while I was at my mother’s home, my son walked in, and loudly said, “Falun Dafa is good!” The girl followed right behind him, saying, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” Knowing that I follow Master’s teachings my son felt it was good to do this, and the marriage was arranged.

Before the wedding I helped the girl withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations using her real name. After they married, our relatives, friends, and neighbors said that I had a wonderful daughter-in-law.

My Daughter-in-Law Changes

Two years ago, my grandson was admitted to college. My friends were busy helping me prepare his luggage and some daily necessities. I took the initiative to handle all the matters, big and small, involved in preparing my grandson’s luggage. This greatly reduced the burden on my son and daughter-in-law, and the whole family was very pleased.

The other practitioners also helped. Their selfless assistance demonstrated practitioners’ sincerity and kindness and also created a better environment for my own cultivation. My family saw that practitioners are a group of kind, friendly, and helpful people.

My daughter-in-law was traveling with my grandson by plane to take him to college. Just before they left, she asked me for a Falun Dafa amulet. I was surprised that she would dare to take one on a plane and said, “It’s enough to remember in your heart, ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ It isn’t safe to carry it with you.” She said, “It’s okay.” She put the amulet in her backpack and happily left.

This may seem like a small matter, but I waited years for this moment. Thirteen years ago, I was imprisoned for five years for distributing truth-clarification materials. After I was released from prison, my family misunderstood me and had negative thoughts about Dafa. Tears of emotion filled my eyes upon hearing her value Dafa. Compassionate Master, I am deeply grateful to you!

Master said, “Don’t think about anything, and don’t worry about anything. Master is compassionate, and he’ll definitely arrange for you what’s the best.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Vancouver, Canada, in 2003”) I keep Master’s teaching firmly in my heart.

Seize Every Opportunity

After I was released from prison, a relative told me that a retired military officer often asked about me. In the past, I often clarified the truth about Dafa to him. He knew that Dafa is good and that it was being persecuted. I also talked to him about withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations so he wouldn’t be implicated for it’s crimes. He was concerned about his former status as a military officer, so he refused to withdraw from the CCP.

Whenever I thought about this while I was in prison, I felt deeply regretful. When my relative mentioned him after I was released, I visited him. He was already in his 90s, but his hearing and eyesight were still good. His daughter-in-law was there and asked who I was, and where I lived. I answered her questions.

His daughter-in-law went out for about five minutes. I took that opportunity to immediately ask the man to withdraw from the CCP. This time he happily agreed. I asked him to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He said he would remember. I felt so happy for him. When his daughter-in-law returned and saw that we were both smiling, she said nothing. I reminded the man to take good care of himself and said goodbye to them.

I wanted to help another elderly person quit the Party. It was the mother of one of my classmates. During the Cultural Revolution, she was the only female official in our local government. I often visited her and she liked us very much. But I hadn’t seen her since the persecution of Falun Dafa began. I kept thinking about clarifying the truth to her and helping her quit the CCP and its affiliates.

I happened to pass by her home just as she was coming out the door, and I greeted her. She was very happy to see me. She said she was 88 years old and started working during the War of Resistance Against Japan. I told her that Heaven is displeased with the CCP and but she’d be safe if she withdrew from the CCP. She immediately agreed. I asked her to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She happily agreed and I gave her an amulet. After we parted, I felt comforted that another person was saved.

Another experience was quite miraculous—it involved the father of one of my classmates. One day, I was riding my bicycle when I saw a small plastic bag being blown along by the wind. It was normal to see things lying on the road, so I did not pay much attention to it. Shortly afterward, I ran into the father of my classmate.

I got off my bicycle to greet him. The elderly man said he was on his way to collect his retirement pension, but he lost his pension booklet. It had just fallen out and was in a small plastic bag. I said, “I’ll look for it.” It turned out to be the plastic bag I saw being blown along by the wind which contained his booklet. I gave it to him and asked his age. He said he was 88. He had been an engineer in the 1960s and then became a senior engineer.

I asked if he joined the CCP and he said he was a member. I clarified the truth to him about the CCP and I advised him to withdraw from the Party for his safety. He immediately agreed. I gave him a Dafa amulet and told him, “Remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’” and he would be blessed. He happily agreed.

A Few Things I Encountered While Clarifying the Truth

I once told two elementary school children about the consequences the CCP would face and about withdrawing from the CCP’s affiliated organizations to ensure their safety. I helped them withdraw from the Young Pioneers. The two children were my relatives—one was in second grade and the other in first grade. The older child said, “I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.” The younger child said, “I’ve been looking forward to this day too.” I was surprised. How could such young children say something like that? I was deeply moved and asked them to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They happily agreed.

While clarifying the truth, I met someone who said he knew more evils things about the CCP than I did. He told me that during the Cultural Revolution, local Party leaders fabricated rumors about him and his brother and falsely convicted them as “counter-revolutionaries in the act.” They narrowly escaped execution. They were given heavy sentences and sent to prison, where they endured every kind of torment, hardship, and suffering.

He angrily cursed the CCP, and called it a gang of thugs and bandits that committed every kind of evil deed. He cursed those who harmed he and his brother. He was imprisoned when he was in his 20s and did not return home until the end of the Cultural Revolution, when their case was finally rehabilitated. He knew that Falun Dafa was being persecuted, he deeply sympathized with and supported Falun Dafa. He withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

When I was distributing the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and helping people withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates, I went to a coworker’s home to clarify the truth. Both the husband and wife believe that Falun Dafa is good and that Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. They happily accepted the materials and amulets. They also angrily cursed the CCP for persecuting Falun Dafa and good people. They told me they were also victims of the CCP. They said that during the Cultural Revolution, whenever the Party leaders wanted to harm someone, they would simply fabricate a rumor and then arrest and sentence that person.

When I told them about the persecution of Falun Dafa, and how the CCP harvests organs from Dafa practitioners, the various ways they torture them, and how practitioners were beaten to death or disabled, and the rumors fabricated by the CCP about suicide and self-immolation, it brought back painful memories of the persecution the couple suffered. They cursed the Communist Party even more angrily. The more they cursed it, the more impassioned they became. The couple said that those who practice Falun Dafa are good people and have been wronged, and that sooner or later these crimes will be redressed.

I have an old friend I’ve known for more than 40 years. Her husband had a stroke, and had diabetes, and other illnesses for years. This year his condition worsened and parts of his body became ulcerated. They took him to a major hospital. The doctors told them he didn’t have much time left and advised his family to take him home. His family took him to a local hospital to treat the large wound.

He was receiving oxygen and could no longer speak because of the stroke. I leaned close to his ear and told him, “Recite in your heart, ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ You will recover faster and suffer less. If you understand me, nod your head.” He nodded his head.

He was a retired government official, a CCP member, and a civil servant, and his son worked at the Public Security Bureau. When he was healthy, I clarified the truth to him and asked him to withdraw from the Party, but he refused to listen. After he became ill, I told him again, and he agreed to withdraw from the Party; however, he did not accept Falun Dafa. This time, when his condition became worse, I told him again, and he agreed to say, “Falun Dafa is good.”

The frightening wound gradually healed and formed a scab. The doctors, nurses, and family members were all extremely happy. But I knew it was because he recited, “Dafa is good.”

In July last year, he suddenly developed a high fever. His temperature reached as high as 38.9°C [about 102°F]. Every day he received intravenous fluids, oxygen, and liquid nutrition, but even after various examinations, they could not determine the cause. The high fever continued for more than a month. In the air-conditioned hospital room, his face was red with fever. My old friend was so worried that sores developed in her mouth. She could not eat or sleep.

There was no other choice, so they asked experts to consult on his case again. They recommended an imported medicine. One dose cost 18,000 yuan, and three doses were needed each day, totaling 54,000 yuan a day. And there was no guarantee that it would work. My friend’s family was well-off and could afford it, but if there was no guarantee that it would work and the fever did not go down, wouldn’t the money be wasted? My friend felt the pain of spending so much money!

I went to the hospital to see him. I said, “Why don’t we try our way? It won’t cost any money or cause any trouble. If the fever goes down, that’s great. If it doesn’t, you haven’t spent any money, so there’s no loss.” My friend agreed. I took out an audio recording card that contained Master’s lectures in Ji’nan City that I had prepared, and I put it into a player. I placed it beside the man’s pillow so he could listen to it, and I told my friend to listen to it together with him.

When I returned to the hospital two days later my friend was smiling from ear to ear. She asked me to touch her husband and feel his temperature. His body was cool, and his temperature was 36.6°C [about 98°F]. I said, “It worked, didn’t it? It was effective, right?” My friend said, “It really worked! It really worked! It’s incredibly effective!” The man’s younger brother was there, and I wanted to make sure that he also knew that Dafa is good. I told him, “Your brother’s fever went down because he listened to a recording of Master’s teachings.”

His brother was very happy. He withdrew from the CCP in 2005 and often read truth-clarification materials. Their family included people who worked in public security and the courts, government officials, and wealthy people. I normally did not have access to them or have an opportunity to speak with them. So I reminded him to talk to his family about withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliates for their safety. He agreed.

In September two years ago, a practitioner and I went to visit a patient in the hospital. There was an elderly woman in the ward who was suffering from severe heart disease. She was blind. She couldn’t lie down nor sit steadily, and she had difficulty breathing. Her face was contorted in pain. We felt distressed just looking at her. We told her to say, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

The louder she recited, the more energetic she became. Her breathing became normal when she spoke. She said, “It really works! Tell others about it, so that all the patients in the hospital can get better by saying it.” Her husband who was sitting next to her witnessed this and he thought it was miraculous. The other practitioner clarified the truth to him, and he agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The elderly woman continued loudly saying, “Falun Dafa is good.” The more she recited, the happier she became, and she smiled like a child.

I am immensely grateful to revered Master for his boundless compassion and wisdom and saving sentient beings in this chaotic world! I will do my utmost to move forward on the cultivation path guided by Master, and striving forward with all my strength, and cultivate diligently!
