(Minghui.org) We have all experienced miracles along our individual paths of cultivation in Falun Dafa. I believe we should write about these experiences, so we can share them with fellow practitioners. Below are some experiences from my cultivation practice.
Clarifying the Truth of Falun Dafa Wherever I Go
My husband was once illegally detained and persecuted. My mother-in-law, who is also a practitioner, and I visited all the local police stations, detention centers, 610 Offices, appeals offices, courts, and lawyer’s offices. We inquired about my husband’s case and appealed for his release. We clarified the truth about Falun Dafa wherever we went. We also wrote a letter about how my husband had benefited physically and mentally from Falun Dafa, and about the persecution not being legal at all. We left a letter at each office we visited.
During that period, we were out every day for half the day, but we did not feel tired even without much to eat. We did not think about anything else, except how to tell people the true facts about Falun Dafa. When we took a taxi, we clarified the truth after greeting the driver. We answered people’s questions and corrected their misunderstandings. Many people became sympathetic and learned that Falun Dafa practitioners are reasonable, lawful, and fair.
My husband was eventually sent to a forced labor camp and we often went to visit him. Most of the time we were not allowed to see him, but we persisted in going there. We told the truth to people outside the labor camp, in the hotels, at restaurants, and everywhere we went. Many people learned the facts. One person who lived near the labor camp had a motorcycle transport business. I often used his service, so he knew the facts, and was very sympathetic to us. He inquired about my husband’s situation when he had passengers who were just released from the labor camp. He told me that many people said my husband was in poor physical condition and was not improving. I said he would become healthy once he could practice Falun Dafa again. Falun Dafa saved him before.
After my husband was released, we visited the man that ran the motorcycle transport business. He was surprised to see that my husband was healthy. After he saw my husband, he had a deeper understanding of Falun Dafa.
I was a salesperson, and when my husband was persecuted, I spent alot of time going out and telling the facts, but my business still continued to be successful. The orders came unexpectedly, one after another. After my husband returned home, I didn't participate in as many truth clarification activities as before. Instead, I spent lots of time working, but I noticed that my business was not as successful. This made me realize that I should continue to go out and clarify the truth.
My Pregnancy
After we were married, my husband and I wanted to have a baby to give our relatives and friends a positive impression of our marriage. However, I found that I could not get pregnant after two years of trying. Under my husband’s urging, we started to recite and memorize the book Zhuan Falun. I was successful in memorizing the entire book after one year and the next month, I found I was pregnant. This enhanced my mother’s confidence about Falun Dafa.
I faced a variety of tests after I became pregnant. The most serious occurred when I was seven months pregnant. I went for a medical check-up, during which the doctor said that the baby's heartbeat was very slow and not normal. The doctor asked me to stay in the hospital on oxygen therapy. When I told my husband he replied, “This is a notion of everyday people. Children of Falun Dafa practitioners aren’t like ordinary people. We are all supernormal.” After that, I no longer thought about this. A month later, my mother-in-law went with me to check the baby's heart again. She sent forth righteous thoughts at my side when I did the test. This time, the test results were normal!
Treating the Physical Interference with Righteous Thoughts
I am ashamed to mention it, but menstrual pain has been a problem for me for the past ten years. My mother-in-law said, “Such physical interference disappeared right after many other practitioners started practicing.” My husband also said, “Whenever you feel uncomfortable, you always lie down and rest instead of sending forth righteous thoughts.” I looked inward intently and found many things that needed improvement. First, I realized that this physical problem interfered with me going out to clarify the truth and help save people. Second, I needed to improve my status of doing the Falun Dafa exercises. I was easily distracted and did not have pure thoughts when I did the exercises. One night, my lower abdomen ached so badly that I could not even lie down properly. I pulled myself up out of bed and did the first exercise three times. I felt some air discharge from my lower abdomen and then I felt much better. I then knew it was the attachment to lust and desire. We needed to improve ourselves and eliminate the desire. My husband and I had not previously done well in this respect. I think this was one of the reasons for my menstrual pain.
In our current living environment, in everyday life, our righteous thoughts and behavior will have a great impact on the people and environment around us. Therefore, we should cultivate myself in everything we do and maintain the pure heart of a practitioner. People will feel comfortable around us if we behave well and have righteous thoughts. We will have power in our truth clarifying efforts if we do this.
Writing and sharing this experience helped me to improve in cultivation. When we treat ourselves as real practitioners and cultivate ourselves well, we can overcome any difficulties or obstacles that may occur. We must cultivate ourselves well in the process of clarifying the truth and saving people.
