(Minghui.org) I live in a rural area and was honored to discover the divine book Zhuan Falun in 2002. The first time I opened it, I was stunned – Master's photo emitted the Buddha's light. Since then, I have treasured this book and know that cultivation practice is no trivial matter.
I finished reading Zhuan Falun in two days. After practicing Falun Dafa for a while, the strong jealousy and all the illnesses I had were gone. I threw away a full basket of medicine. I knew I had been saved and felt like the happiest person in the world!
Enlightening to and Eliminating Human Notions
My son lives in the city, and I often went to his house to take care of my grandson. His home is on the fifth floor. I had to walk up and down the stairs seven or eight times each day, which made my legs very sore and tired. However, one day Master’s Fa suddenly appeared in my mind: “...you are not tired when going upstairs—no matter how many floors there are.” (“Lecture Eight” in Zhuan Falun)
I suddenly realized that “fatigue” is a human notion, and that I don’t want it! I also thought about my walking up and down the stairs as part of doing the most sacred thing in the universe—distributing truth-clarification materials. I knew that this should not a be a problem for me. After my thought changed, I went up and down stairs quickly and easily.
On another day, we needed to move some things upstairs from the ground level. I carried some heavy items, going back and forth seven or eight times. It did not bother me. However, my son and daughter-in-law only carried light items upstairs, yet they were exhausted. They needed to stop for a break on the way up. I told them that it was due to the power of Dafa that I could do these things.
Overcoming Adversity When Our Thoughts Are Aligned with the Fa
Similar experiences occurred in the field. For example, the cornfield needed to be fertilized, but several days of continuous rain made the soil very muddy. We had to get the bags of fertilizer out onto the field, and each bag weighed 50 kilograms (about 110 pounds). The wheelbarrow we typically used wouldn’t move in the mud. So I was thinking about how we could resolve this problem.
I immediately realized that I needed to change my notion and thought “I can move them to the cornfield.” I asked Master to help me. Then I asked my husband to put one bag on my shoulder. He refused, and then looked at me with puzzlement, “Can you carry it?” I firmly said to him, “I can do it!”
So I, a woman in her 50s, started carrying a bag of fertilizer weighing 50 kilograms into the field. My husband was immediately filled with respect for me. Each of us carried one bag per trip. This again proved the miraculous nature of Dafa! Since then, whenever my husband returns home from work, he shouts as he opens the door: “Falun Dafa is good!”
Master Whisked Me Upstairs to the Fifth Floor
One evening, it was almost 9 p.m., and I asked Master, “I want to go out tonight and maintain righteous thoughts while I distribute truth-clarification materials to save people. Please protect me. I also hope that I can return home soon.” That evening, I distributed the materials smoothly. When I got back to my building, I took out my key to open the building entrance gate. While my right hand was still turning the key, I found that I was immediately on the fifth floor in the blink of an eye. I understood that Master did this to encourage me.
Master, you have given your disciple too much, while I have returned too little to Dafa. Words can't express my gratitude. What I can do is study the Fa more, truly cultivate myself well, do the three things, and fulfill my vow to return home with you.
