Continually Breaking Through My Own Barriers

The joy of Obtaining the Fa

My chance to obtain Dafa was a result of my husband’s brain trauma. The trauma looked like an apoplexy. Some friend introduced a person called Hu Naiwen to us; and Dr. Hu consequently introduced Dafa to us. I was stunned when I first saw the book, Zhuan Falun. I knew about the words Zhuan Falun, but knew nothing about what they meant because I have never officially went to school. I only took supplementary classes for half a year. However, I was happy to see the three characters, Zhuan Falun, and thought that I had a tough life. Isn’t it true that Zhuan Falun takes away bad things and brings good things?” Some fellow practitioners encouraged me to study Zhuan Falun. As I never officially went to school, it was only after one year that I started to read very slowly. Up to this point, I’ve read the book about a dozen times and other articles a few of times. I can now keep up with the pace in the experience-sharing sessions and study together with fellow practitioners. This is the biggest benefit for me after I began to study Dafa.

Overcoming obstacles in cultivation

I’ve experienced tough times after obtaining Dafa. One time after I came back from Fa-study, my husband was so angry that he produced a 30cm long fruit knife. He cut my clothes and threatened, “You are lucky that you ran away. If you had been too slow, I’d have killed you with this knife.” After this, things became better. Now I’ve become more flexibility in spreading the Fa and practising the exercises. I used to feel afraid after Fa-study and think in my mind, “Oh, I’ll be scolded when I get home.” However, after changing my mind: I said to myself that I cannot be afraid. It’s sacred for us to learn Dafa. We’ll have a high level in the future. What am I afraid of?” When I have righteous thoughts, I am no longer afraid.

Benefitting Physically and Spiritually after Learning Dafa

After learning Dafa, both my family and I have benefited a lot. I used to feel cold in my hands and feet during the winter, but now it is as if I am covered by a duvet at winter.

My father loved us very much when we were children and he liked to clean our ears. My ears used to hurt at that time. I was bothered by ear problems since I was very young and this was not cured for a long time. There was often water and pus in my ear, which was itchy and unbearable. The year before last when I was doing the 5th exercise, an insect entered my ear. It was so unbearable that I forgot the pain caused by the double leg crossing. I came to realise that Master has purified me several times. After the insect left my ear, the symptoms got better as there was not as much of an itchy feeling and there was no pus or water anymore. A couple of days later, another insect entered my ear. This time it felt different. It was like going to see a doctor and having the ear cleaned out. At this time my ear was cured and now it is completely healed.

Overcoming Difficulty in Clarifying the Facts

When I saw practitioners clarify the facts by mailing Dafa materials, I felt like joining in too. As I couldn’t read simplified Chinese, I planned to take some home and ask my daughter to write for me. My daughter, however, responded to me and said: “No, it’s time for you to establish your own benevolence. You have to do it yourself.” I then had to force myself to write it alone. I am slow and bad at handwriting. My understanding of this is that it’s alright as long as the address is correct, and the receiver would get the letter in the end! As long as it is mailed to the correct address, they’ll have the opportunity to be saved. Though my handwriting is not good, I’ve got a righteous heart. As I’m slow in writing, I can only finish five letters in an hour. One time when I shared my understanding with fellow practitioners on this, one practitioner was moved and said, “As a teacher, it takes me only three minutes to finish it. However, it takes you an hour to finish five. You overcame such a difficulty.

The first time I learned how to clarify the facts on a PC via a chat room. I didn’t have the chance to use a microphone, as I was too slow. One can be kicked out of the chat room if he/she speaks too slowly. When in Xiao-Nanmen computer chat room, some practitioners continued to encourage me and handed a microphone to me. They even provided a script for me to read. I do not speak fluent Mandarin and read very slowly. I couldn’t even understand the punctuation marks. As I didn’t read the script well, some practitioners next to me couldn’t understand. I read the script anyway. Afterward, some fellow practitioner told me that I was scolded by people in the chat room. Some of them asked me to leave the chat room and asked the chat room administrator why I was not kicked out. Some even questioned as to whether I had come to practise speaking Mandarin. The administrator, however, did not kick me out. On the contrary, I was continuously encouraged and cheered up. They said that I read very well and they all were willing to listen. I came to realise that whatever Dafa work we are doing, Master will encourage us when we make the first step. The effect of clarifying the facts is very good. It’s our Master who encourages us to continue!

Then we got another chat tool, 8751, which is easier to learn and simple to use. Now people in the Mainland say that I speak Mandarin well and wonder whether I am from Guangdong or Henan province. I told them it was not until I learned Falun Gong that I made such progress in speaking Mandarin. Besides, learning Dafa has opened my wisdom. Were it not for Dafa, I wouldn’t make friends on the internet and would not speak Mandarin as fluent at this age.

Many of my friends on the internet guessed that I was not over thirty when they heard my voice. I laughed and said that my children are now in their thirties and they were very surprised to hear this. I took the opportunity to tell them that it was only after I learned Falun Gong that my voice has become like this. I have become healthier and younger. There are so many good things to learn from Dafa. After I told them the truth, many expressed an interest in learning.

One day I met with a Ph.D. student, who studies in Germany. He was happy to hear my friendly voice and said that it was just like talking to his family. As he is returning back to China next year, he said that he was worried about a war between Taiwan and China. I said to him to not worry, wars are a state of affairs brought about by major changes in the overall celestial phenomena. None of us like wars. I told him that Falun Dafa is good and has spread widely to over sixty countries. I also told him that Zhuan Falun has been translated into many languages. The book, Zhuan Falun, is profound and covers all aspects of knowledge. I told him that it was a predestined relationship for us to talk on-line. He said that he would like to read Zhuan Falun.

Dafa is truly good and powerful. Thank you, Master. Thank you fellow practitioners.
