(Minghui.org) I am a graduate student and started to practice Dafa at the beginning of last year. After only a year of cultivation, I could feel the power of Dafa and realize the urgency of offering people salvation. I treated everything as a good thing, while working to let go of my human attachments.
In December 2010, I met a practitioner who clarified the truth to me. Out of curiosity, I read the book Zhuan Falun, which made me realize how ridiculous those negative reports were, which the government had made about Falun Gong. I realized the vicious nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I understood what Falun Gong was and what kind of people practitioners were. I felt that Dafa was what I had been seeking for a long time.
In the beginning, my understanding of the Fa was poor. Slowly and through studying the Fa and experience sharing, I understood the difference between personal practice and Fa-rectification cultivation. I then understood a practitioner’s special mission. I felt very fortunate for having received Dafa, a feeling I could not describe with words. I have found answers for many questions, which I had been wondering about since I was very young.
Master talked about the attachment of zealotry, which I had when I first started to practice. In some situations, I appeared to be overly excited and wanted to share my joy of obtaining the Fa with others. I realized this problem later and tried to overcome it. I also had some attachments to lust. From exchanging cultivation experiences, I understood that different levels have different states and I still have human attachments. I should not be afraid and should control my mind. I have to get rid of these attachments if I really want to become a true cultivator.
Now, my human attachments of showing off, zealotry, and lust are much lighter, which is no longer an ordinary state. I also let go of the attachment to Qing and used righteous thoughts to eliminate my lust attachment by realizing that it was not me. The principles of Dafa have to be in one's heart. One can not fully recognize how extraordinary Dafa is, when he/she is not a true cultivator.
In the beginning of my Dafa practice, my motivation was not pure, because I knew that practicing could heal illnesses. I had a hearing problem. After reading many Dafa books and experience sharings, I made an effort to let go of my attachment to restoring my hearing. However, when I clarified the facts to people face to face, I frequently encountered hearing problems. I could not hear clearly what these people said, thus I became anxious and emotional. I have been hard of hearing for 20 years and was very attached to restoring my hearing. A fellow practitioner told me that had Master had restored my hearing, I would not remember the purpose of restoring my hearing. The purpose of restoring my hearing is to save sentient beings. I should not seek personal gain as ordinary people do, and forget cultivation. I overcame the difficulties and told people the facts face to face. I controlled my anxiety and listened carefully to people’s questions and helped them to have a better understanding of Dafa. I have been persistent in clarifying the truth for almost a year, even though I encountered many tribulations. I speak up and tell people the truth whenever there is a chance. I also tell people the facts using the internet. I helped many people to understand the truth about Dafa.
I am so grateful that Master has taught me the real meaning of life at the end of the Fa-rectification process. My life is filled with hope and happiness. Thank you, Master!
