We know an eleven-year-old practitioner named Maomao. Both he and his mother are Falun Gong practitioners. Maomao went to Tiananmen Square with his mother several times to validate the Fa. He was never afraid of the police and he was always very resourceful and brave. He was able to overcome difficulties in order to validate the Fa, to expose the evil and to clarify the truth to people. Often, his yuanshen (primordial spirit) would leave his body and travel in the universe with the Teacher when he practiced the Falun Gong exercises. His yuanshen left his body once this February and the following is what he experienced.
One day after the spring semester started, Maomao went to the top of the school building during a class break and did the meditation exercises there. Suddenly, his yuanshen left his body and the Teacher took him to some heavenly worlds. Maomao became very excited. It was the second time this year that his yuanshen had left his body. The Teacher's fashen (law body) had come before and followed him around. When Maomao did something wrong, the Teacher's fashen would change into a person, such as a senior student to criticize him. Sometimes, the Teacher's fashen would pull Maomao's ear affectionately or talk to him in his dream. So, Maomao was not surprised when the Teacher took him to play this time.
Maomao followed the Teacher to a place. It was splendid beyond all words. The people there lived a peaceful and happy life.
Then he saw many people gathered, watching something on the ground. Maomao asked the Teacher, 'What are they doing there?' The Teacher said, 'Let's go and take a look.' So, the Teacher took Maomao there.
There was a hole on the ground and all the people were looking through the hole. Maomao found that all things happening on earth could be seen through the hole. The Teacher told Maomao that the people looking through the hole had children on earth. As parents, they all cared very much about how their children fared in their practice.
Many of the parents were very glad because their children had done very well in their cultivation. Some parents fainted right away when they found out that their children were forced under pressures of the evil to give written 'promises' to declare that they would not practice Falun Gong any more.
Maomao found his heavenly parents among those people also. They were very glad to see him and they patted him on his head and encouraged him to keep striving forward. They joked with Maomao, 'We will be blessed if you do well in your practice.'
Maomao felt he was only one or two years old there, yet at the same time he seemed to have lived hundreds of millions of years already. Although his parents looked like teenagers, they had also lived a very long time. All the people there looked young and beautiful and they were all very kind to him.
Later the Teacher took him to have a meal. The food was so delicious. He had never seen such food before and he didn't even know what it was. When he took a bite, he felt warm in his chest and all the channels in his body were opened. He felt so comfortable. He thought, 'It's so delicious. I should bring some to my Mom.' The Teacher immediately knew his thought since everything was transparent and his thoughts were exposed. The Teacher shook his head and sighed, 'What an ordinary human being.' Maomao then realized his attachment and hung his head in shame.
Maomao also went to some other places. He stayed there for two or three days. When he came back it seemed as if only a few seconds had passed on earth.
