(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in the countryside of Hubei Province. I have been practicing Dafa for eleven years, ever since 1996. Although not diligent in my practice, I have always believed in Master and the Fa. No matter how vicious the evil is, I have never had any doubt about Dafa. I have been so deeply touched by the experience sharing articles on Clearwisdom.net that I have often wanted to write about my experiences. Nearly illiterate, with my highest education being second grade, however, I was afraid of not being able to write about it. One night a couple of days ago, I had miraculous experience when distributing truth-clarification materials. I shared it with other practitioners, who said that this was because Master was encouraging us and strengthening our confidence. I made up my mind to write about it.
One afternoon, carrying a dozen kilograms of truth-clarification materials, a fellow practitioner and I went to my aunt's home. We clarified the truth to her and urged her to quit the CCP. Everything went smoothly. Learning that no one had ever clarified the truth in this area, I made up my mind to go there to save people. After sending forth righteous thoughts, my aunt, the other practitioner, and I went out to distribute the materials.
In the past few years, I have frequently carried hundreds of pieces of truth-clarification materials and distributed them in the countryside. On the way there, I always sent forth righteous thoughts: "Plants, animals, or people, you're all here for the sake of the Fa. No matter where I go, my righteous thoughts are effective. Please do not interfere with my work. I am doing the most righteous thing in the world. Please assimilate to the Fa."
On the very night when we just stepped out, all the dogs in the village started to bark, even after we stopped to send forth righteous thoughts. I realized that Master was hinting to me that I should not rely on the non-practitioner to help us, so I asked my aunt to leave. As soon as she left, the dogs stopped barking.
When distributing the first piece of Dafa literature, I saw that the literature was glowing. I thought it was my imagination, but one by one, every truth-clarification booklet glowed in the dark. In spite of the numerous times I had distributed the materials before, this was the first time such a miraculous thing happened.
After we left one village, I asked my fellow practitioner, "I saw the booklets glowing. Did you see it?" "I saw it, too," she quickly answered.
We put down the bag of materials. Even through the bag, I saw the glowing of the materials. I made a Heshi to thank our compassionate Teacher for encouraging us and strengthening our confidence. "Teacher, we want to continue the work in the areas where nobody has ever done similar truth-clarification. Please guide us."
Along the way, we sent forth righteous thoughts, annihilating the evil elements and interference with the world's people to enable them to accept the truth, to treasure the truth-clarification materials, and eventually to resign from the CCP for their own sake.
Village after village, with full confidence, we distributed the booklets. Each booklet we placed glowed at night. It continued glowing even when we were leaving it behind, as if it were saying "so long" to us. The only exceptions were three booklets, which did not glow. I realized that there must be some problem in that family where we were trying to place the materials, so I picked them up and placed them at another house.
That was a fine day after snow. The snow did not melt in some shady places, and the roads were still wet. Both the other practitioner and I stepped into the freezing water. The crops looked white in the snow and our hair was frozen. My fellow practitioner got five blisters on her feet. We lost our sense of direction at night, but when it was dawn, we were told that we had walked for nearly 30 miles. Besides, it was exactly where we wanted to go. The whole night we did not feel cold or tired. Thanks to compassionate Teacher and His safeguarding, we accomplished what we wanted to do.
The reason I am writing about this experience is not out of my being too engrossed or from a mentality of showing off, but to share with those practitioners who have fears or are lacking in Fa-study, especially those in the countryside. We must treasure this rare opportunity.
In my experience, there is a tremendous difference between calmly studying the Fa with a steadfast and stable heart and with a righteous thought, and neglecting Fa-study and Dafa work. For example, during the latest harvest, I did not study the Fa frequently enough or clarify the truth much. I did not distribute Dafa materials and I neglected sending forth righteous thoughts four times a day. I stored a lot of truth-clarification materials at home and I was concerned. To not store so many Dafa materials, I held the idea of finishing the mission. As a result, my heart was not stable, and my righteous thoughts were not strong. Finally, I was shadowed by someone while I was distributing truth-clarification materials. After sending forth righteous thoughts for over an hour, the follower finally left. We had to go home earlier than expected without finishing the distribution. The next morning, I stopped doing anything but calmly study the Fa from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I also sent forth righteous thoughts at the set times. That night, I went out to distribute truth-clarification materials again and visited my relatives to urge them to resign from the CCP. The result was much better, and after learning the truth, they all thanked me. It was much smoother than the night before.
In the countryside we are very busy all year long, but we practitioners have fortunately learned Dafa. Teacher saved us from hell and taught us the Fa that everyday people do not understand. Our bodies and hearts have been cleansed by the practice. My husband is also a practitioner. He is healthy and looks younger than other people his age, but he overlooks Fa study and rarely does Fa-validation work. I told him that it is Dafa that has turned him into a healthy person again from a very unhealthy one. The reason that Teacher makes us healthy is not for us to pursue fame and gain.
We must diligently study the Fa, walk out of our homes to save sentient beings, correct our mistakes, understand the Fa from the perspective of the Fa, do well the three things, and catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification.
Greetings and Happy Chinese New Year to our compassionate Teacher.
