(Minghui.org) Mr. Liu Dayou worked as a security guard in a hospital in Taipei. He usually worked the 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. shift, which over time took a toll on his health.
Many of Dayou’s colleagues were addicted to prescription drugs to keep them awake at night, and to help them go to sleep. Dayou was worried that he would also end up becoming addicted. Knowing that qigong was good, he searched for a qigong practice that would keep him from becoming addicted.
Predestined Relationship with Falun Dafa
Dayou started his search for a good qigong book at the Taipei public library not long after Jiang Zemin, the former head of the communist regime, initiated the persecution against Falun Dafa. He then found a shiny golden book called Zhuan Falun, the main book of teachings for the cultivation practice of Falun Dafa. He was intrigued, so he read it.
He finished reading the book within three days. He was particularly amazed when he read about the celestial eye because he had experienced exactly what was described in the book.
He saw with his celestial eye a huge majestic Buddha and a row of words which he could not understand. The Buddha appeared calm and dignified and the layers of his body seemed to expand endlessly.
After reading Zhuan Falun, Dayou thought that he must have a predestined relationship with Falun Dafa. Thus, he acquired all the Falun Dafa books from the Minghui website. He also learned the five sets of exercises by watching the exercise instructions online, and began to attend the morning practice in Huxiao Park.
As Jiang Zemin, the former head of the communist regime, had just launched the brutal persecution against Falun Dafa in Mainland China, Dayou began to get involved in Dafa truth clarification efforts in the early 2000s. He distributed Dafa informational materials and talked to people near his home about the practice.
He wanted people to know that Falun Dafa is good and hoped that they would not be deceived by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda against it.
Improvement of Character
Before practicing Falun Dafa, Dayou was ill-tempered and wanted everything to go his way without considering others. If his family members or colleagues did not agree with him, he would instantly lose his temper, which gave him a bad reputation.
After practicing Falun Dafa, Dayou changed completely. He followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and became kind and considerate. During times of conflict, he searched inward to find the cause instead of lashing out at others. He no longer expected people to follow his suggestions.
“Now, people will accept my suggestions,” he said, “because I no longer am belligerent and I listen to their concerns. Besides, I try to remind myself that I should not develop the attachment to complacency, arrogance, or showing off.”
Dayou’s improvement in character has shown the power of Falun Dafa. Dayou's mother and son started to practice Dafa after they witnessed the improvement of his character. His boss also appreciated his change in attitude and assigned him to a better position.
