Revered Master, fellow practitioners, I am a Dafa disciple from Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province of China, and it has been almost 4 years since I came to the U.S. in 2012. I would like to report to Master my cultivation experience and what I have enlightened to over the years in America at this sacred Fa conference, and share with my fellow practitioners as well. The topic of my sharing is “Be my true self.”
Expose bad behavior
I came to Atlanta on August 11, 2013, just in time for participating in Shen Yun promotion. So on the second day after I came, I joined other practitioners to go to main stream community to hang Shen Yun flyers on door knobs. That city is in the north and it was winter time, and there is ice and snow everywhere. When I put a flyer on the door knob of a house, I slipped and fell. All of a sudden my right palm turned to face back. But at that moment, I shouted “oh mother!” and turned my palm back and continued. When I got home, my hand was swollen very badly and fellow practitioners would not let me to go on. After a few days, my hand still couldn’t move, and then I realized my wrist was dislocated when I fell on that day.
Over the years, this hand of mine has never been able to exert force, and it would be quite painful as soon as I try to apply force with it. When this incidence took place, I did not think about it from the Fa perspective and find out why it would happen when I was doing something to save sentient beings. This continued for quite some time until one-day last year when I suddenly recalled something that took place on that day, which really startled me. What happened was on that day, I was very eager to urinate, yet I did not want to bother fellow practitioner, did not want to waste gas, and did not want to waste time to go back and forth, and when I found a densely wooded area around a house, I came up with the idea to solve the problem in situ, so as not to bother others. I actually did just that. Now looking back, that’s some deeply rooted evil party culture that’s at work, the wicked CCP really corrupted people. In China, adults would let their kids to urinate and defecate almost everywhere and anywhere, and nobody cares. But this is in America, a civilized society, how can I bring such a terrible habit to this land?
I had buried that incidence in my heart and never dared to tell anyone, and till that day when I enlightened to this, I then tried to become courageous and exposed that behavior of mine. I can’t protect the self, and protect those unrighteous thoughts and improper acts any longer. I must rectify those bad and improper thoughts and acts in human that were imposed on me via evil CCP culture. Then, soon after I exposed that act of mine, I found miraculously that my hand was no longer painful, and the dislocated wrist bone was no longer protruded. Dafa is really miracle, and Master is really so compassionate and merciful. As soon as disciple has the heart to correct herself, miracle would happen right away.
Sentient beings help me find the way
I once went to a neighborhood to do door-to-door distribution of Shen Yun fliers. I got off the car and took some materials. The driver practitioner said, take more, and remember do not cross the street. Then we were all on our own way. But, after I went door to door for a while, I found I went too far and there were no more houses, but just a lake on the left and woods on the right. I told myself, go ahead and take a look, since fellow practitioner asked me to bring so much materials, so I went ahead. But right then, I found myself lost.
I tried to find my way back, but I couldn’t. I was every upset and anxious. I then asked Master for help, “Master, I did not live up to the expectations and can’t find the way back. Please Master help disciple!” Just then, an American, a tall man in his 40’s walked out of a house and toward me. He said something in English that I could not understand, but I got a general idea, he was asking me if I needed any help. I tried to explain to him how I was lost with the help of hand gestures. He then opened his garage door, drove his car out, and asked me to get on his car. I was thinking, do I dare to get on his car? Think again, I told myself, what is there to be afraid of? Master is with me. I got on the car and he then took me back to where I started, where there was a lake on one side and woods on the other side. Yes, that is the place! I thanked him for being so warm and helpful. I know in my heart that it was Master who arranged to get people to help me. I experienced the miraculous power of Dafa first hand.
Tribulations big and small
Once, I went with a vehicle full of practitioners to go door-to-door. I was the last one to get on the car, and when a fellow practitioner closed the car door, my finger was jammed and I couldn’t pull out my hand. Practitioners on the car said, “Hurry, open the door. Is your hand jammed?” The driver said, “With that much force, how can it not jammed?” I said to them, “no big deal, it’s not painful, Master is protecting me.” It was indeed miraculous and I did not feel any pain, but I knew it was Master who endured the pain for disciple.
One day, I went with two sister practitioners to distribute materials. The younger sister went to a building, and the older sister went with me to go door-to-door. We distributed a while and sat curbside, waiting for the younger sister. But just as I sat down, all of a sudden I passed out. The older sister called my name and did not get any response, she was anxious and pinched under my nose and on back of my neck, and she yelled, “Master please help save big sister!” Soon, I woke up and felt some pain under my nose and on the back of my neck, and felt someone was asking Master to help. Upon seeing that I was awake, the younger sister said, “big sister, you scared me so badly.” This is really the time that Master saved my life, and eliminated a big chunk of karma for me. I am grateful to Master for His compassion and mercy. Dafa is simply too miraculous.
Teaming up with young practitioners to promote Shen Yun
I am a 70-year-old practitioner. On August 11, 2013, I came to Atlanta to help a young practitioner to babysit her two boys, ages 6 and 3. My daily work is to take the big boy to school bus in the morning and bring him home after school. Time flies and it’s almost three years now. Since I am old and can’t drive, and don’t speak English, and young people can drive, speak English, and act quickly, so I thought I was able to cooperate with young practitioner so she would not need to take care of the kids and able to go out to promote Shen Yun. I can do the best I possibly can to help. From the beginning I had this thought, I came to assist Master in Fa rectification and saving sentient beings, and I insist on not being paid a penny. I was thinking, the two kids are also little disciples of Master, and this is what Master has arranged for me: we study the Fa, exercise, and share experience together on the Fa. We work together harmoniously and collaborate with other practitioners in Atlanta to save sentient beings. We have done the best we can and done everything really well. From Monday to Friday, the young practitioner would go out to promote Shen Yun and do other projects, and I would stay home and save people by making phone calls. Over the weekend, the young practitioner or her husband would take me to Chinese community to persuade people to quit CCP, and we have been doing that very well.
As I write to this point, I feel ashamed of myself. Even though I have practiced for over a decade and went through many tribulations, but I still have many human attachments that I have not let go. My cultivation is quite painful and difficult. For example, for quite a long time, the demon of sleep is interfering with me tremendously. I don’t want to acknowledge that, yet I can’t suppress it. I can’t escape from this situation and feel very bitter in my mind.
I thought of the Fa Master taught, and I want to inspire myself and be more diligent. All the attachments and all the human notions must be let go, and be righteous in mind and action. As a disciple, I will follow what Master said in “Completely disintegrate all the meddler gods that interfere with Fa within the three realms”, “Dafa disciples should do the three things well and firmly, without any unsteady minds. Hope Dafa disciples will walk the last leg of the path with the righteous thoughts of the divine.”
I will walk on the road of Fa rectification to go back to where we came from, with dignity and righteous thoughts and acts, and be my true self.
