A Young Falun Dafa Practitioner's Cultivation Experiences

Greetings, Great Master!

Greetings, Fellow practitioners!

My name is Cai Pei-jun and I am a young Falun Dafa practitioner. Today, I'd like to share my experiences that I have encountered during my cultivation with fellow practitioners.

Practising the Falun Gong exercises with Mum at home

In 1998 when I was only four years old, my father started to practise Falun Gong and I also started practising with him. When I was four and half years old, I went to different places to hand out introductory materials about Falun Gong. At that time, my mum did not practise Falun Gong. In 2000, my little sister, Cai Pei-en, was born. She was the one who created many chances for me to improve my moral nature. Sometimes, I felt that Mum loved my sister more than she loved me. She never accused little Cai Pei-en of anything but she always criticised me. I felt jealous. Master said in Lecture 7 in Zhuan Falun,

"If jealousy is not abolished, everything that you have cultivated will become fragile. There is this rule: If in the course of cultivation practise jealousy is not given up, one will not attain Right Fruit--absolutely not."

The attachment to jealousy must be eliminated. I listened to Master's teachings and gradually got rid of my jealousy of my little sister.

In 2004, Mum had a serious illness. My sister and I were in panic. At that time, Mum went to see a doctor. The doctor said that Mum's heart valve was not completely closed. My sister and I were afraid that she would die. Dad suggested that Mum practise Falun Gong. So Mum began practising Falun Gong and her illness disappeared. I thank Master for saving my mom! After Mum started practising cultivation, our family joined other fellow practitioners to reveal the facts of the horrific persecution. My sister and I can practise all five sets of the Falun Gong exercises. We also sincerely send forth righteous thoughts, to eliminate the evil factors and to help prevent fellow practitioners in the Mainland from being persecuted.

My school work is pretty heavy. Besides, I am also learning to play the piano and the flute, learning English, and practising calligraphy. Because I'm a young practitioner, I also need to make sure to practise the exercises and study the Falun Gong teachings. Therefore, I have less time to practise calligraphy or practise my musical instruments. However, all of my teachers say that I am learning quite well. Mum said it is because Master opened my wisdom.

A year has quickly passed. On the Lunar New Year of 2005, our entire family went to New York. When Dad joined the waist drum practise, Mum, my sister and me and other fellow practitioners went together to distribute flyers and clarify the truth. We also went to the Associated Press office. Practitioners had very strong righteous thoughts. However, it was very cold there and there were too many evil beings in other dimensions. My sister and I are still young and we were unable to endure the cold weather. So we entered a shop to warm ourselves. We encountered an older lady who had come down from her office to take a break and smoke a cigarette. I then used the English that I knew to tell her how good Falun Dafa is. Later the lady said, "Then it is not good to smoke, right?" I answered, "Correct." She immediately put out her cigarette and threw it away.

In New York, we studied the Falun Gong teachings and practised the exercises in the morning. Then we handed out brief announcements about the NTD-TV New Year's Gala. We clarified the truth on the streets and we also went to the Chinese Consulate to send forth righteous thoughts. When we distributed flyers on a street corner, I met a Western couple. They were dressed very formally and they looked very nice. I told them about the persecution currently happening in China. Later, I took out my English script and asked them to read it directly. They sincerely expressed that they would try their best to help stop the persecution.

Although we are young practitioners, Master gives us equal amounts of opportunities. We should also make the best use of our time to strive forward. We stayed in New York for two weeks, and I felt reluctant to leave there when it was time to return to Taiwan. When we were about to leave, it became cold again. During the time that we were in New York, the sky was clear. We understood that it is because Master is compassionate and he prevented us little practitioners from getting cold. I thank Master from the bottom of my heart. I will be more diligent after I return to Taiwan.
