[PureInsight.org] I have been cultivating for fifteen years. In retrospect, infinite reverence and gratitude towards Master rise from my heart. Master blesses disciples’ righteous thoughts, resolves disciples’ tribulations and gives the best to disciples. I have nothing to give in return, but a heart of unremitting true cultivation and compassion. With the approach of the 15th annual Falun Dafa Day, I’d like to express my gratitude for Master’s great compassion by sharing my husband’s experience of returning to Dafa cultivation.
I was illicitly imprisoned during evil’s most rampant phase. When I got out of jail, I was faced with a broken family and my job was pillaged. My husband, who used to cultivate, driven by ordinary human notions and pressure, gave up cultivation and lost himself. Without any constraints on mind and behavior, his state was worse than that of any ordinary human. He got drunk every day and roughed me up after coming home. He made me unable to move, and my eyes bunged up like an egg, leaving only a slit between the upper and lower eyelids. My incisors became loose and almost fell off. He often yelled and cursed, “Why haven’t you been live organ harvested?”
I was aware that this was the manifestation of some life that deviated from Dafa. It was also an evil interference used to destroy him and to diminish my steadfastness in cultivation.
I denied the evil’s arrangements and wasn’t trapped by its malicious moves. Having experienced agonizing suffering, I determinedly sent forth righteous thoughts of awakening my husband and allowing his enlightened, true-self to dominate. Despite the fact that he caused my bruised nose and swollen face, I recited his name by heart, rousing his primordial spirit to awaken and stop being a ratchet man used by the evil forces to persecute Dafa disciples, thereby losing the opportunity of a million years. I thought, “Despite the fact that our predestined relationship as husband and wife has now ended, and we will now go our separate ways, please do not detest Dafa and thus lose the cultivation chance that takes place once in millions of years.” I called out every single word and phrase, “Sober up and get back on the cultivation track sooner. What you have been awaiting for generations is Dafa.”
My mother and older sister shared the same righteous thought. They believed that my husband was compassionate and wasn’t acting himself. His behavior was a manipulation by the evil’s control.
My younger sister was hot-tempered. She was so furious that she wanted to give him a lesson when she learned that I had endured his curse and beating. It was very late at night on January 1. I was beaten again and couldn’t take it. I called my parents and had them come to pick me up. My father, younger brother, younger sister and mom were provoked. They drove through the night from hundreds of miles away. After arriving at my house, they harshly trounced my husband. I was stupefied by what I saw! I deeply regretted calling home and cried my eyes out saying, “Please stop pounding him! If I knew that you would be injudicious, I wouldn’t have called you. He is not acting himself, but what about you guys?” I tried to reason with them, but to no avail. Falling on my knees, I begged them to stop hitting him. They, however, roared at me, slapped me in the face, kicked me and cursed at me that I was meant to be beaten to death.
I was severely hit, but I didn’t feel pains. As a cultivator, it was the despair of causing the fight that tormented me. I could barely suffer my husband’s beating. However, I never discredited Dafa. Unreasonable cursing and walloping from others wasn’t my fault. However, this was caused by my call home and getting families involved. I thus felt bad and continued to ask myself, “Am I a cultivator? Am I qualified?” I was taken home that night and demanded to divorce. My younger brother and sister stated that they would disown me if I didn’t divorce him, leaving me to sink or swim.
Had I been an ordinary people, it would have been impossible to take the hardships. It was because I am a Dafa disciple with righteous thoughts that I believed I could amend the family environment and that master would make the call for disciples at crucial moments.
My mother and older sister are practitioners, and they often remind me to look inwards on the path of cultivation. There were many shared articles on Minghui website and nearby fellow practitioners’ righteous blessings enlightening me.
I was determined to abide by what master said: do the three things well and not be stirred to quarrel and agonize. I would arouse him with cultivator’s compassion, treat him with benevolence and understanding and tend to him with extra care. Things didn’t turn out the other way and the situation remained. I wasn’t disappointed and still went out for material distribution, face-to-face truth clarification and made Nine Commentaries on the Communist party materials. In 2005, there weren’t many practitioners clarifying the truth face-to-face in my area, and soon I changed the situation. Back then, I figured that I should cultivate myself well, relinquish the attachments to a happy family life and affection for my husband so that evil forces could not interfere with me. I immersed myself in Fa study, Fa transcription and Fa recitation, forgiving my husband’s unreasonable conduct with inconceivable benevolence. Whenever I sent forth righteous thoughts, I steadfastly eradicated evil spirits and rebellious ghosts behind him.
Once my younger sister asked me what I thought of while sending forth righteous thoughts. I told her how I did it and how I sent forth righteous thoughts for him (my husband) so that he could reform as soon as possible. She heard this and said with scorn, “Ha! Sending forth righteous thoughts for him to let him be healthy and hit you harder? Let him die so that the problem will be solved!” She did not obtain the Fa back then and thus didn’t comprehend the divine essence and solemnness of sending righteous thoughts nor the state of cultivators. My sister and her child obtained the Fa in 2006 due to my influence. My brother-in-law identified with the Fa and took an amulet with him when going out. He would always return home for the amulet if he forgot to bring it along. As a driver, he was under Dafa’s protection plenty of times.
Starting from May 2005, I sent forth righteous thoughts for my husband to demolish the evil spirits that prevented him from returning to cultivation. Although he mistreated me, I insisted on sending forth righteous thoughts for him, adhering to Master’s words of embracing whatever comes to me with immense compassion and forbearance.
My husband gradually changed and worshipped Master. The situation, however, was inconsistent as he remained spiteful when a demonic streak broke out. I intentionally led him to read Dafa books and truth materials and sing Dafa songs.
After my husband lost himself, he became attached to fortune, drinking and concupiscence. Without Master’s immeasurable benevolence, extermination awaited him. Someday around August in 2010, he said to me, “I will restart cultivation, quit drinking and practice the exercises.” I wasn’t stoked since he had stated this more than once but had changed back once he was interfered with by drinking and lust.
I believe that Dafa is omnipotent. So long as I became detached from resentment and marital affection as well as truly looked within and amended myself, Master would grant evil spirits no mercy and destroy them all.
Dafa is divine power scooping my husband up from a chasm and purifying him yet again. It was in August 2010 when he relinquished his misdeeds. A lost life came back to life. His reform stirred the local area, especially because even ordinary people despised his wrongdoings.
He did better than me from time to time after returning to cultivation. Not only did he help with a great number of chores to save me time for Dafa projects, but he also bought me expendables. He didn’t interfere with me as long as it was about Dafa and was responsible for a project for saving sentient beings.
I remember him stalking me and stopping me from carrying out a truth clarification project and being in touch with fellow practitioners. I told him I went grocery shopping when I was in the truth material producing site. He would go home and check if I were home sometimes. If I was out, he would call to ask about my whereabouts. Before answering the phone, I would open the window and tell him I was in the market. The material site was by the market and vendors’ constant cries added credibility.
One early morning, I went to the material site after he left for work. Upon arriving downstairs, I encountered an acquaintance who was on his way to ask my husband for help. He said to my husband, “I ran into your wife. She was there.”
The acquaintance, in fact, had no malicious intent, did not know what I was doing and greeted me conventionally. My husband then called to inquire about my whereabouts in a rage, and I answered him with open windows. I was beaten badly later that night after he came home. He asked me where I had been every morning when I went food shopping. Because I was beaten without reason, it became clearer that evil persecution was coming from other dimensions. The evil knew what I was doing and manipulated my husband to interfere with me. From then on, I fortified my steadiness of righteous thoughts to eradicate evil and rebellious ghosts that obstructed my husband from returning to cultivation.
With Master’s blessings, my husband returned to Dafa cultivation, which endowed me with a stable cultivation environment and let me do what I am supposed to do. I hereby express my heartfelt thankfulness to Master and wish Master a happy birthday and World Falun Dafa Day!
