I started to practise Falun Dafa in 2012. I am 79 years old.
I have been clarifying the facts at the tourist sites since I started my cultivation. As a Falun Dafa practitioner in the Fa-rectification period, it is my mission to save sentient beings. I don’t want to waste any time at the moment.
Clarifying the Truth in the City Centre
Master saw my heart and arranged my family to come to Melbourne. We live in the city centre and are not far from the truth-clarification sites. So my wish to tell people the truth about Falun Dafa has come true. I go to the scenic spots to clarify the truth every day and help Master rectify the Fa and save sentient beings as well as cultivate myself and improve my xinxing in the process.
One day I held a board displaying Dafa information with three other practitioners in front of a tourist bus. One man in his fifties jumped out of the bus and screamed at us. He didn’t stop. We didn’t say anything and looked at him quietly and at the same time sent forth righteous thoughts. After a while he stopped swearing and got back into the bus. At that moment I experienced the magnificence of the Fa principle of: “…just by having your heart unaffected you will be able to handle all situations”. (Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s), Essentials for Further Advancement)
Many tourists often ask us how much money we earn for being there. They said that we went there to earn money. Hearing that, I looked within. There is a female practitioner in Brisbane in her sixties. She wears light make-up and dresses well when she clarifies the truth at the scenic spots. Almost no tourist thought she went there to earn money. So I started to pay attention to my dresses and wear a bit of make-up so that I looked younger and healthier. I became more confident as well. This way the tourists asked less of such questions and had more chances to be saved.
The weather is unpredictable in Melbourne. No matter how bad the weather is, whether it rains or is windy, I keep clarifying the truth at the tourist sites with other practitioners. I have to hold the board when the tourists get off the bus until they come back and get onto the bus again. It is a fairly long time. I am small and the board is big. It is tiresome to hold the board. But when I saw the tourists inside the bus read the board carefully, I felt happy in my heart. I thank Master for giving me the opportunity to save Chinese people on the front line.
During the six years of my cultivation, not only was I reborn in Dafa but my family members were benefited from Falun Dafa. I’d like to share some of their stories so as to show the magnificence of Dafa and greatness of Master.
Starting to Practise Falun Dafa Because of Illnesses
I suffered from several illnesses in 2011, one year before I started to practice Falun Dafa. I had abdominal cysts, deafness, tinnitus, myocardial ischemia, palpitations, dislocation and fracture of my arm and depression. I felt just like what Master said in his poem “A hundred kinds of hardships fall at once, to see if you are able to survive” (Hong Yin).
During the whole year of 2011, I visited numerous hospitals and took endless medications. I saw the specialists at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital and paid a registration fee of 300 yuan each time. The nationally well-known doctors could not cure my illnesses. I also visited other hospitals but achieved no results.
I visited my daughter in Singapore in May 2012 with a poor health and carrying a large bag of medications with me. When I was about to take medicine the next day, my daughter told me that her daughter recovered from her illnesses after she had practised Falun Dafa for a few days. She suggested that I start to practise as well.
So I started to practise with them. Gradually my illnesses disappeared. From the very beginning, I could feel the Falun rotated in my lower abdomen and in my hands. I felt like I was floating and didn’t feel tired at all no matter how far I had walked. I became young again. I gave away all my medicines. I realized that I would no longer take any medicine in my life.
Dissolve Sickness Karma with Righteous Thoughts
Two years later in 2014 my heart felt strange one night and started to beat irregularly. I felt like my heart would jump out of my mouth. It was terrible. But in my mind I knew that it was fake manifestation of sickness karma. Master told us in Zhuan Falun: “…and we will push you beyond it, making your body reach a state free of any illness.” I am a practitioner and free of illness. This was interference from the old forces. I got up and sent forth righteous thoughts for a while but it had little effect. My heart still beat frantically and seemed to be against me. I started a dialogue with my heart. I put my hand over it and said: “We came to this world together and stay with each other and depend on each other day and night. Since I started cultivation, we have Master to look after us. Make sure you are not manipulated and controlled by messy stuff to persecute me. You’d better listen to my main consciousness and do not beat madly. Please recover and beat regularly.”
I repeated those words until I fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, everything was back to normal.
But the fake symptom appeared again after four or five days. I kept sending righteous thoughts and talking to my heart. Gradually the symptom became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.
My heart beat slowed down in August last year. It stopped some times. I didn’t have any strength. I felt like my heart was an empty shell and very uncomfortable. I sent forth righteous thoughts immediately and said: “You are not able to cheat me no matter who you are or how you manifest any false symptoms. Even if I have omission, I will rectify it in the Fa. Master will take care of me. You are not qualified to look after me or interfere with me.” I had a dialogue with my heart again: “You are very important to me. If you stop beating, I will die. If I die, you will die with me. Then how can we fulfil our pre-historic vows? How can we help Master rectify the Fa and save sentient beings? If you don’t have any strength and can hardly beat, please recite with me ‘Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Let’s ask Master to help us.” I kept reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and making dialogue with my heart until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was completely ok.
Miracles Happened to My Family Members
I received a call from my son in China one day in August last year. He told me that my husband was sick again with high blood pressure. His hands and feet were cold. He lapsed into unconsciousness several times a day. He was muddle-headed and had no strength to talk. But he insisted not going to the hospital and listened to nobody who tried to persuade him to see the doctor.
My son worried about his dad. He discussed with me to buy a plot in the cemetery in case he passed away suddenly. I worried about him too. He was stubborn. I used to ask him to recite “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good”. He actually didn’t believe it. I worried that he would refuse to recite it if I asked him again.
I didn’t know what to do. Then I remembered a story my daughter told me about a practitioner in Singapore. The practitioner’s mother passed away and her father had heart problem and needed a bypass surgery. The medical fee would be high. The practitioner was not able to go home to look after him. So she asked for help from Master. Soon good news came from her father. He recovered and surgery was not required.
So I asked Master to help my husband. Two days later my elder son called me and told me that my husband was much better and didn’t get sick these several days. When I talked to my husband over the phone, he said with a strong voice: “I am all right now. I haven’t been sick these several days.”
I didn’t tell him that Master helped him because I was afraid that he would not believe it and he might get angry with me. At that time my cultivation was only at that level. In my heart I thanked Master for saving him. I told him to recite “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and that my whole family would benefit from it. He did so but was not sincere.
A practitioner recommended an experience article on the Minghui website to me on July 6th. The practitioner in the article recalled her experience how she started to practise Falun Dafa. At the age of 15, she suffered from autism and adolescent obsessive-compulsive disorder. She wanted to commit suicide but couldn’t make up her mind because she worried about her mother who gave her a lot of care and comfort. Her mother practised Falun Dafa. Under her patient guidance, she started to practise Falun Dafa. Soon she recovered from her illnesses and became lovely again.
I believed that Master hinted to me to read this article because my fifteen-year-old granddaughter suffered from autism as well. She didn’t go to school, didn’t step out of her room and didn’t have shower. Meals had to be delivered to her door. She would take the meal inside and close the door immediately. She didn’t allow anyone to go into her room. I didn’t know what to do with her. I thought it was a test for me to let go of sentimentality. I didn’t think about it any further at the time.
After I realised it was a hint from Master, I asked for help from Master in my mind. Master said in Zhuan Falun:
“Under all circumstances, we must be good and kind to others, not to mention to our family members. We should treat everyone in the same way. We must be good to our parents and children and be considerate of others in all respects. Such a heart is thus unselfish, and it is a heart of kindness and benevolence. Sentimentality is something of everyday people, and everyday people just live for it.”
To be formal, I wanted to stand in front of Master’s photo and ask for Master’s help the next morning.
That night I had two dreams. Master appeared in front of me and talked to me with smiles. But I didn’t hear clearly what Master said. I gave heshi to Master and understood that Master would look after my granddaughter. In the second dream, my mother who had passed away brought several children and a black and white sheep to my home. The sheep went straight into a small room. When I looked up from the kitchen room, I saw the sheep coming out of the small room and going to the sofa table in the sitting room looking for food. I knew the sheep was hungry and looking for food.
I told my practitioner daughter the next morning about the two dreams. We realized that my granddaughter’s situation was hopeful and Master was helping her. She was born in the year of the sheep. The sheep in the dream going into the room indicated that she closed herself off from everything. When the sheep came out for food it meant she returned to normal.
That afternoon I called my daughter-in-law to inquire about my granddaughter after I finished truth clarification at the tourist site. She said happily that her daughter got up in the morning, had a shower and went to school.
“Master has saved her.” I blurted out over the phone and couldn’t hide my excitement. I told my daughter-in-law the two dreams I had. She felt it was amazing and believed even further that Falun Dafa is good. My granddaughter has recovered from her illnesses since then. She often sings songs at home.
My husband and son were stubborn. Though they never stop me from practising Falun Dafa, they didn’t believe it.
After this incident, I told my husband that he recovered from his illness last year because I asked Master to help him. From what I could see, he still didn’t believe it. But when I spoke to my daughter-in-law over the phone again, she told me that both of my husband and granddaughter said that my granddaughter recovered because I asked Big Buddha to bless her.
My son grabbed the phone and shouted over the phone: “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good”.
Master takes care of practitioners at any time. HE also looks after our family members. Thank you Master, for your benevolent saving grace.
Thank you Master!
Thank you fellow practitioners!
