My Cultivation

[PureInsight.org] I am a female Dafa disciple, 58 years old, who has practiced for twenty years. Thanks to Master for changing me from an ordinary person with all kinds of karma into a firm Dafa disciple. Here is my cultivation story:

1. Personal Cultivation

In December 1997, I began practicing Falun Dafa according to the rules of “truthfulness, Compassion and forbearance”. Soon, miracles happened - all the aches and pains were gone. It was the first time for me to know how it should be without any disease. Dafa not only gave me a healthy body, but also improved my xinxing and morality level. After obtaining the Fa, I got rid of the addiction to Mahjong and my bad temper such as abusing people. I also volunteered to do a lot of things, such as cleaning the whole building, sheltering a blinded beggar, getting him new clothes, taking him to the bath and helping him cut his hair, making a bowl of meat noodles for a lady beggar plus donating some money to her. All beneficiaries felt my changes and declared, “Falun Dafa is good!”

2. Practice in the Fa-Rectification

On 20 July of 1999, Jiang Zemin launched a brutal persecution on Falun Dafa. In November, a fellow practitioner went to Beijing with me to validate Dafa and declare Master innocent. At that time, several people in my work unit including the director, deputy director, chief, etc. tried to stop me by scaring me at the front of my house. I sent forth a powerful righteous thought: I was a Dafa disciple, I must go to Beijing to validate Dafa under Master’s protection. They blocked the front door and I went through the back door to take the train to Beijing. At the Beijing train station, the police sent me and a fellow practitioner to the shelter. I did truth clarification to the police on the way there. Later, they sent me back to our province office. My local police station sent people to pick me up and detained me in the detention center. I experienced lots of persecution and anti-persecution.

In the first month of 2000, I called a fellow practitioner whose telephone was monitored at that time. Then the police took me again to the detention center. They asked me to assure them I wouldn’t practice and also required me to abuse Master. My work unit director, deputy director and chief came to pick me up. The police told the director that I could leave only after I wrote a guarantee about not practicing and abused my Master. The deputy director tried to persuade me. But I said an ancient Chinese parable with indignation, “‘The first is teacher, life-long is father.’ Master taught me Dafa which improved my morality level and made my body healthy. I would never betray my Master.” The deputy director agreed with me by thumbs up. The police forced me not to practice, but I must do it. They pushed me to kneel; I went on hunger strike for a week. The police chief pushed me to surrender. I said, “I am a Dafa disciple. I am not scared!” He scowled, and slammed the door behind him. Once, the police requested my signature; but I refused. They held my hair to hit the wall and slapped me. But I still refused to sign. Then a policeman kicked towards my heart when I was not noticing. My body flew and fell to the ground. However, I didn’t feel any pain. I knew Master was protecting me. Three months later, I was released.

In the winter of 2000, a dozen Dafa disciples and I were detained in the detention center. The section Chief directed other police to force me to release other Dafa disciples’ information. I refused. He slapped me and hit my head to the wall by saying, “I will beat you until you can tell. Nobody could survive from me.” I had firm thoughts that I wouldn’t release any information because I needed to protect them. He beat me from 2 pm to 7 pm. Then he received a phone call to arrest people. Two months later, I was sent to the labor camp at the lion mountain in Wuhan. I did truth clarification there and said, “It is not the place where I should stay. I must leave.” They told me that I had to listen to them and do labor work there. I said, “I was wronged.” Then she left me over and I was sent to Shayang labor camp for 5 months. During the daytime, they punished me and other disciples to stand like army men under the sun. During the evening, they let me memorize something about the evil party. I didn’t cooperate with them and said in my mind, “I only listen to my Master not you.” When she wanted me to read their stuff, I read the other words. She felt annoyed and left me there. Once the instructor asked me why I didn’t do any labor since I was detained there? I said I was not a laborer but a disciple under persecution. The instructor left me there as well.

In 2003, a fellow practitioner and I were framed by an old lady when we went to distribute the truth materials. The police came to arrest us. Since there were 5 farmers chasing me as well, I got into the thorns and pushed the documents further in it. When they put me in the car, they beat me and kicked me. I talked to the people out of the car, “Hi folks, my truth document is to save you. Please be sure to read it and understand it. Also remember: Falun Dafa is good, truthfulness-compassion-forbearance is good!” The police slapped me and closed the window. After a while, I opened the window and said the same thing. After four to five times, I heard an old man said some rudeness towards Dafa. His daughter in law said, “She was trying to save you. How can you say that? I won’t take care of you when you get old if you continue to do it.” The old guy daren’t say anything. I was so happy because people had righteous thoughts and they were saved. The police chief sent us to the police station. The deputy police chief asked my name and slapped me twice. Then I saw five police were beating my fellow practitioner. I said in mind, “Master, please save my fellow practitioner.” The police stopped beating. Then I did truth clarification to the police about “Good has its reward and evil has its recompense” He was scared and released me after 15 days of detention.

In 2004, I was framed when I distributed the truth document in H province. I hid in a place in a mountain and sent forth righteous thoughts. I begged Master to protect me and not let them find me. Until dark, they didn’t find me. Then I protected the documents by covering them with leaves and went back home. There were three side roads ahead and I picked the easy one to my home. However, I fell down three times on this one. I realized Master was telling me there was danger ahead. I switched to another one and went back home. After a few days later, I came back to pick up the documents and distributed all of them.

3. The Summary

In my twenty years of cultivation, there were success and failure experiences. I truly appreciated Master’s protection to make me keep going until now. It was almost the end of the Fa-rectification, I would fulfill my vow by saving more people to live up to the expectation of Master as in Predestined Return for Sacred Fruit from Hong Yin, “Consummate, return home with Master.”
