(Minghui.org) I am a 19-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner. When my mother was pregnant with me, whenever she played the exercise music, I moved along with it. My family knew I came to obtain the Fa.
My entire family practices Falun Dafa, making me a fortunate child. The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance have been rooted in my heart since birth.
I was a very healthy child. When I occasionally didn't feel well, I knew that I was eliminating sickness karma. When I recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” I would be fine. I benefited a great deal from the practice.
As I grew a little older, I did the exercises with the adults. Master granted me wisdom when I was only four, and I was able to read the book Zhuan Falun.
When Dafa practitioners went out to clarify the truth about the persecution, I went with them even though I was young.
When we went to farms, most of the farmers had dogs that would bark. I would say to them in my heart: “Do not bark, I am here to save your owner.” And the dogs would be quiet.
One time it was late, and some of the villagers thought we were thieves. A large group of them got together with clubs and wanted to stop us. I held onto mother's hands and sent righteous thoughts. We just walked through the crowd calmly. They did not follow us. I knew Master protected us!
One elderly practitioner took his wife, my mother, and me to a faraway village with his electric tricycle. On the way back, his tricycle broke down, so we had to walk over 10 miles to get home. I was very tired but I made it!
I did well academically, play the piano, and enjoy singing and dancing. I scored the top in our school on the college entrance exam.
Before the college exam, the movement to sue Jiang Zemin, the former head of the communist regime who started the persecution of Falun Dafa, began. It was also my responsibility to bring him to justice. I used my real name when I signed the criminal complaint.
The local police came to my home to harass us in an attempt to have us give up our belief. We refused.
When the acceptance noticed arrived for a teacher's college, I had to choose between college and my belief. I chose my belief.
Many young practitioners have lost their opportunities to get an education and their jobs and families. Some have been tortured, sent to jail, and have even lost their lives. The evil will have to pay the price someday.
I became an after-school caretaker for students whose parents were still at work. Things were pretty rough in the beginning. Some students were quite naughty, refused to follow orders, and said inappropriate things. I lost my temper and cried, but they would still misbehave.
I am a cultivator, and Master wants us to look within to search for reasons. Master taught us:
“You should not be that way in disciplining children, and neither should you, yourselves get really upset. You should educate children with reason so that you can really teach them well.” (Zhuan Falun)
I then used kindness and sincerity to reach them, telling them stories from ancient times, and they listened quietly. Most of the children also withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party youth organizations.
Now, most of the children behave. When they make a mistake or say something improper, they look at me and apologize, “Sorry, I won't do that again.” The power of Dafa can also rectify things that are not right.
