(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa at the end of 2004, and I’m now 72 years old.

Master Li’s article “New Year’s Greetings” was published shortly after I began practicing. I was moved to tears each time I read it. I was an ordinary person on the edge of life and death. Master sent his greeting, calling me a Dafa practitioner. I had a Master who looked after me and I was happy. He saved me and gave me a future. “Thank you, Master!” I exclaimed.

My illnesses disappeared three months after I began practicing and I was healthy. How could I just say “Thank you” to repay Master? The only thing I could do is to follow Master’s teachings, look inward, be a good person, and put others first. Therefore, I participated in projects to awaken people, and did my best according to my abilities. I’ve been through a lot of hardships during my cultivation, but I have no regrets.

Around 2014, Ling handed me her computer and asked me to have Wang change the operating system. One month later, Wang asked me, “Did you take the computer back?”

I said I didn’t. But Wang’s mother-in-law, who is also a practitioner, replied, “You took it. I left it on the stool and you took it.”

I knew I didn’t take it, but how could I explain myself? I told Wang’s wife, also a practitioner, “There’s a surveillance camera here. Why don’t you look at the tape to see if I took it.”

Wang’s wife went to look through the recording, but said she didn’t know which day it was, and couldn’t find it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Wang’s mother-in-law wrongly accused me, and the family agreed with her. My attachments, such as anger, jealousy, combativeness, and resentment emerged, and I forgot I was a practitioner.

When I studied the Fa with other practitioners, I read what Master said,

“... when you come across a conflict you should not consider it a coincidence. This is because when a conflict occurs, it will take place unexpectedly. But that is not a coincidence—it is for improving your xinxing.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

Isn’t this a good opportunity to improve my xinxing? My mind became clear and I thought, “I didn’t take it, but there’s no need to get upset and argue with them. I shouldn’t have to explain myself. Just be a good person and put others first. But I’m far from it. Everyone forgets things and makes mistakes from time to time. I shouldn’t let my human notions block me, and I should have a bigger heart. I know what to do from now on.”

I bought a second-hand computer from another practitioner and gave it to Ling. Ling didn’t want it and asked me to return it. She said, “Although mine is lost, maybe we can find it later.” And sure enough, the computer was found two months later.

I understood this incident happened to help me cultivate and improve myself. I’ll know what to do next time.

This is my limited understanding. Please point out anything not in line with the Fa.
