I started to practise Falun Gong in 1995. For the past eight years I have been following Master Li's teachings, behaving according to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance". Many people around me have realised the goodness of Falun Dafa, and this has made me understand that Falun Dafa can perfectly harmonise everything.
My Family
In 1995, I started to practise Falun Gong in order to acquire a healthy body. After I learned Falun Gong, I introduced it to my family members and close friends. I got books for them and practised the exercises with them. The result was very good. My sisters and friends all said that they had benefited a lot and many of them practised diligently in the group and never stopped studying the book or practising the exercises. They all continuously behaved according to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance." It is true that as long as you study the book you will make improvements.
As I strove to practise the qualities of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" in all circumstances, the atmosphere at home gradually improved. In my mother-in-law's family there are more than 30 sisters and brothers, and every one of them says that I am a good person. I can be tolerant of anyone. No matter how others treat me, I treat them with compassion and try my best to help them. Even though parents-in-law are normally the most critical people when it comes to their daughter-in-law, my parents-in-law tell everyone they meet that I am dutiful and respectful. I told them it is because I practise Falun Gong. Hence I won everyone's respect towards Falun Gong.
In August 2002, I went to visit my mother-in-law. I had forgotten to bring the Falun Gong books, so my mother-in-law, who was very ill, wanted to go out and borrow the book for me. I thanked her and refused. Later, my father-in-law borrowed Zhuan Falun for me. When he took the book out from inside his jacket and put it in front of me, I was really happy. My parents-in-law are not practitioners, but they respect Teacher very much and they think that Falun Dafa is good. A few of my relatives had formerly listened to the regime's lies and were manipulated by the media, but now they are also practising Falun Gong. They often tell me their experiences in practising Falun Gong. Even my elder brother, who had objections for a long time, also knows that Falun Gong is good.
Neighbours and Friends
Because I started to practise Falun Gong quite early, many of my neighbours know about it. I often talked to them about the principles of Falun Gong, even after the persecution began. I have been rationally introducing Falun Gong and clarifying the truth with wisdom as Teacher requested, and trying to communicate with them in my spare time. They all understand that I am strong and healthy.
Once, my neighbour Ms. Zhang did good deeds for the neighbourhood. I spoke with her and showed my admiration. She said, "Am not I learning from you?" Falun Gong caused my relationships with neighbours and friends to improve. The most important thing is to behave well as a practitioner and to show people the beauty of Falun Dafa.
Workplace and Colleagues
Since July 20, 1999 until now, I have had the position with most responsibility in my company. I require myself to adhere to the standards of Falun Dafa, because I deeply understand Teacher's instructions: "Study the Fa and obtain the Fa, Share in learning and share in cultivating, Following [the Fa] in everything, Compliance is cultivation." ("Hongyin", Unofficial Translation). Besides my work, I practise the exercises, read Falun Gong books, tell people about the truth of the persecution, and instantly correct myself when I do not do well.
After our company began a major construction project, people all thought that there would be lots of bonuses given out. However, I did not take one cent, but instead made many contributions. I worked overtime and also contributed financially to the project. I left home early and came back late, and travelled in my own car to sort out matters related to the project. My co-workers were really touched and said they have never seen a colleague like me before, without a bit of selfishness. How many leaders now are not corrupted? I told them that I behaved like that because of practising Falun Gong. Teacher taught me to be like this. They all admire Falun Dafa now because I try to use every chance to tell my colleagues how good Falun Gong is. Some of them have started practising Falun Gong, and they say that Master Li is really great. The book contains all kinds of knowledge and explains everything very clearly. Our workplace operates harmoniously, which had never happened before. If there is work to be done, everyone rushes to do it. We all work together and try to solve as many problems as possible together. My colleagues said, "We are willing to do anything by following this kind of leader." Society is corrupt to such a degree, and people are not willing to do anything; many feel angry whatever they do. None of my colleagues have objections to my leadership. Our relationship is very harmonious; it is the manifestation of Falun Dafa's mighty power.
Every time I speak at a meeting, I say that I have learned tolerance from Teacher. I speak to my colleagues about the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" in light of the various situations we find ourselves in. Once I was chatting with a colleague at lunch break and talked about Falun Gong. She said: "I know Falun Gong is good, I see it from you. After you practised Falun Gong, everything became smooth for you. You are not selfish and we all admire you." She also said: "Truthfulness is to treat people truthfully without deception; Compassion is to treat everything and everyone with kindness; Forbearance is to be tolerant when encountering unhappy people or a matter at work, and to take a step backwards in conflicts." I felt very happy upon hearing her words. She also told me that she had received some pamphlets about Falun Gong. She reads all the Falun Gong materials she gets and hides them at home. I said to her, "Good. After reading these materials, you can also give them to your family members to read."
Even though my colleagues may not understand the principles of Falun Gong completely, their sincere hearts towards Falun Dafa are very precious. It is Falun Dafa that has perfectly harmonised my workplace.
The Fa-rectification is moving so fast, and Falun Dafa practitioners' righteous thoughts and actions are very important. Falun Dafa can perfectly harmonise everything. We need to harmonise everything around us with actions according to the Fa. Falun Dafa can uplift people's morality and correct people's hearts.
