Young Practitioners' Tales: The Story of Little Fabao

A Dafa Practitioner from China

PureInsight | June 21, 2004

[PureInsight.org] Little Fabao is a four-year-old boy. His mother and grandmother both cultivate in Falun Dafa. Fabao's stories are quite unusual. Before Fabao's mother started practicing Falun Gong, she was unable to conceive a child despite medical treatments at different hospitals. After she started cultivating in Falun Dafa, she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. The boy was named Fabao (literally meaning "Fa treasure" where "Fa" means "Law and principles in the Buddha School.")

After Fabao was born, his grandma noticed that he always kept his legs crossed [as in the full lotus position of the sitting meditation]. Each time the grownups straightened his legs for him, he would cross them again. Fabao likes listening to the audio and video recordings of Teacher's Fa lectures. Sometimes his grandma would ask him if he preferred watching TV or listening to Teacher's lectures, and Fabao would say, "Of course I prefer listening to Teacher's lecture!"

Fabao especially enjoys telling others that Dafa is good and introducing Falun Dafa to others. He often says to his dad, "If daddy would practice Falun Gong, I would be so happy!" When his father came home, Fabao would bring a tape player to his father so he could listen to the lectures. Gradually, his father also started practicing Falun Gong and became a cultivator. Fabao also really wishes that his uncle would practice Falun Gong as well. He imitates a grownup's choice of words, and tells his father and grandma, "If my uncle could start practicing Falun Gong, it would lift the worry in my heart."

Once his grandma took him shopping. A sales assistant praised his grandma, saying that she looked younger than her age and that she did not like a woman over 60 at all. Fabao stepped forward and told her that this was one of the benefits of practicing Falun Gong because Falun Gong is a cultivation practice of body and mind. He added, "Do you know why Teacher Li Hongzhi teaches Falun Dafa to the public when the society has become terribly degenerate? He has come to save all of us!" "If the mankind continues to decay in terms of morality, heaven will punish mankind." Everyone was impressed that four-year-old Fabao could reason and articulate so well at such a young age.

The local street administrative committee staff knew that Fabao's grandma practiced Falun Gong. One day they came to Fabao's home to take her away. Fabao happened to be playing outside at the time. He led them away with his wisdom and thus saved his grandma from danger.

Fabao is in the second level in kindergarten. One day, he and other children saw a row of ants on the ground. Some children wanted to stomp on the ants, but Fabao stopped them and told them that they would create karma if they killed living beings. Whenever Fabao found unattended items or money, he would turn them in to his kindergarten teacher. When other children bullied or cursed at Fabao, he did not fight or curse them back. In the kindergarten, Fabao is very much liked by children and teachers. His teacher even appointed him to be the class representative and praised him as being a good child because he can tell right from wrong.
