To Trust Master Li

Recently, my son had a high fever for three consecutive days. I felt it was quite unusual this time because the situation had happened before, and generally the fever would be gone the next day after sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements causing the fever. However, this time it lasted a longer time and I didn’t see the effect of sending forth righteous thoughts. What’s even worse was that I found my son’s vision was feeble whilst staring at me. Naturally I became uneasy, and thus invited some practitioners to help send forth righteous thoughts together.

When entering his bedroom, uneasily, the tape recorder was playing Teacher Li’s lecture: “How does it protect you? If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” My heart was touched by Teacher Li’s words, and I awoke immediately. I suddenly felt relieved as if all the worries were discarded.
I remembered, in the initial stage after I started to practise Falun Gong, I was moved by these words so deeply that whenever I thought of them, I felt that there would be nothing to worry about down the road of cultivation as long as we trust Teacher Li. However, with the passage of time, this discourse had gradually somewhat faded away from my heart.

Talking about my son’s fever this time, when seeing his situation not improving, I became kind of nervous. I often thought about Teacher Li’s lecture at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, and wondered what kind of contract my son had signed with the old forces. The more I thought of this, the more I felt uneasy. Consequently, my confidence wavered as time went by. In reality, Teacher Li has made it clear about the issue of the contract at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia. He said: “But it's not that you can't get rid of it. As I just said, even if sometime in history you did sign some kind of pact, if today your righteous thoughts are very strong, you don't recognise it, and you insist on not taking part in it, then you can in fact reject it.” However, because of my own attachments, my confidence gradually dwindled.

As Teacher Li’s words once again touched my heart, I suddenly found that I did not fully trust Teacher Li, deep in the bottom of my heart. Teacher Li once mentioned at the Western U.S. Fa Conference: “...because for you, a cultivator, in the process of your cultivation you have fundamental tests all the way to the very end.” After I enlightened to this, my son’s fever was gone the following day.
