I Catch Up with Assisting Master with Fa-Rectification

I am a new practitioner who obtained the Fa in 2008. Looking back over my cultivation path of over a year, I have benefited so much. I have no words to express my gratitude to Master. What I can do is to strive forward and do the three things well.

Master said in "Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference:"

"To those Dafa disciples who have just obtained the Fa, I say that you are so fortunate. Do you know what kind of group you have joined? These cultivators have made it to today after going through the harshest of tests. Of course, this persecution hasn't ended yet, but the evil is no longer so abundant or rampant, and the pressure is no longer so great. However, it won't be that just because you have entered [Dafa] only recently the standard of cultivation will be lowered for you. So in cultivation you must try hard to do the three things that Dafa disciples should do well, and at the same time save sentient beings and fulfill the roles that Dafa disciples should. In order to do these things well, you must study the Fa well. Make great efforts at studying the Fa, and you will be able to keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification, and you will in an impressive manner become a Dafa disciple who befits that name and is of the Fa-rectification period."

I understand that I am the luckiest person in the whole universe because I am catching up with assisting Master with Fa-rectification at the last period of Fa-rectification in the universe.

1. I Become a Practitioner

In the summer of 1998, my husband obtained the treasured book Zhuan Falun from his colleague and embarked on his path of cultivation. I also read the book at that time, and sometimes did the exercises with him, but did not really start to cultivate.

After July 20, 1999, although I knew that Dafa was good and righteous, due to fear of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), I did not persevere in studying the Fa. Not only that, I
adversely affected my husband's cultivation.

At the end of 2007, my husband gave me a video that predicted society's future, which really shocked me. Nowadays, humankind is morally corrupt to the extreme, moral values are deteriorating daily, and compassion is nowhere to be found. I am very well aware of the bad in society, and I really feel that many people at present are almost not qualified to be human. Moreover, during the past nine years, I have been imperceptibly influenced by my husband's words and deeds and have been aware of the beauty and wonder of Dafa. Soon after I watched that video, I got the treasured book Zhuan Falun from my husband and started to read it eagerly. Within several days, I had read it three times. Several times my face was covered with tears because then I understood. I made a promise to Master that I would not let him down and that I would truly practice cultivation, strive forward vigorously, and succeed in consummation to go home with Master.

I was a little anxious because I had come to the Fa so late, and I hoped to catch up with the process of Fa-rectification. I cannot study the Fa during the day due to work, but once I get home, I find time to study eagerly. I have read every lecture that Master taught around the world. The more I learn, the more I love to learn and the brighter my heart becomes. I soon had strong feelings that Master had helped adjust my body and that a lot of Falun were rotating in each part of my body. This wonderful feeling also exists when I do the exercises.

After becoming a practitioner, I really felt that my view of the world changed. In life or work, I always act as a true Dafa disciple and try to do everything well. In the workplace, I do not complain and never compete or fight for profits. In life, I try my best to take care of others and remind myself every moment to remove selfishness and to think of others. Although sometimes I haven't done well, once I discover what is wrong I correct myself. Master had said in Zhuan Falun,

"No matter how the human moral standard changes, this characteristic of the universe remains unchanged, and it is the sole criterion that distinguishes good people from bad people. As a practitioner, one must then conduct oneself by following this characteristic of the universe rather than the standards of everyday people."

I must not only be a good person but also must be a true practitioner by following the requirements of the Fa to assimilate to the characteristic of the universe.

Xinxing (character, heart and mind nature) tests can occur at any time and in any place. In the beginning, I had not learned to look inside. At my job when I explained the facts about Falun Gong to colleagues and tried to persuade them to quit the CCP (Chinese communist party), some of them easily understood, which made me very happy. But that caused me to develop the attachment of zealotry and showing off. When I got home I often told my husband about my "successes" in the workplace. When he reminded me of the deficiency of zealotry, I was unhappy. I hadn't realized that it was my attachment to fame and the desire to hear praise. Some colleagues were deeply poisoned by the CCP and its culture, but I was not compassionate enough and only thought that I had strong reasons to persuade them. The result was that sometimes I unknowingly developed a competitive mentality and the person wasn't saved. I got very angry myself. At home or in the workplace, whenever an interpersonal conflict occurred, I always looked at others' problems. Although I knew I was a practitioner and I didn't compete with others, I often thought I did better than them rather than look inside myself to resolve the conflict.
Once when I exchanged experiences with a fellow practitioner, he repeatedly talked about looking inside. He said that we should find in the conflict what the exact attachment was, recognize that it was not you, and remove it. I suddenly understood that it was a hint from Master. Actually, Master has always said that looking within is a cultivator's magical tool. It is my fault that I hadn't realized. "Be considerate of others when you do things, and look at yourself when you get into disagreements." ("Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference")

2. Test

Soon after I became a practitioner, I once went home with my brother. While talking of the beauty and wonder of Dafa to my brother at home, my father overheard me. He at once flew into a rage. My husband had once been arrested and persecuted, causing my family to experience a hard time. Hearing that I, too, was cultivating, my father strongly opposed me. I talked with him peacefully about the beauty of Dafa, the wonderful changes in my husband's body, and the evil of the CCP, which only imbues people with rumours and lies. My father didn't eat and went to bed. This was the first test to see whether I was determined in cultivation. I knew that nobody could force me to leave Dafa, because my life had already melted into Dafa and Dafa is much more important than my life. However, I didn't do well enough at that time. Afterward, as I continuously upgraded xinxing and treated my family with compassion, I showed the wonder of Dafa through the changes in my body and mind and kept exposing the CCP's lies. Now my sister has become a practitioner, my mother's long-standing hypertension and diabetes have disappeared by repeating "Falun Dafa is good" every day, and my whole family is very healthy.

Last year before the Olympics, the CCP arrested many practitioners in our local area. My husband was worried that I would be afraid, but I said that I didn't have any fear at all--because I have Dafa, I fear nothing. I only follow the path that Master arranges for me and practice Dafa firmly. Nothing can shake me. We still studied the Fa, did the exercises, clarified the truth, and sought to persuade others to quit the CCP every day. One day the police arrested my husband on the pretext of asking for information. I had just gotten home. Hearing noises from downstairs in the building and seeing my husband being taken away, I was flustered, but I was not afraid. I kept on sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil and to stop the evil from persecuting Dafa disciples. Then I moved our Dafa books and truth-clarifying DVDs to a safe place, after which I went downstairs to clarify the facts to the police. The officers didn't dare to ransack our home even though they brought a search warrant with them. After they left, I calmly explained the facts to the colleagues and neighbours that came to console me and persuaded them to quit the CCP, which helped them choose a bright future after being more clear about how evil the CCP is.

"You should know that once a person learns the truth and the real meaning of life, he will not regret giving up his life for it." ("Some Thoughts of Mine," Essentials for Further Advancement II) I am a Dafa disciple, and nothing could scare me. My husband quickly returned home with his righteous thoughts and Master's care.

3. Assist Master with Fa-Rectification
Through studying the Fa, I understand that, as a Dafa disciple today, we should do the three things well (study the Fa, clarify the truth, send forth righteous thoughts). To validate the Fa and save sentient beings in the human world is the path that Dafa disciples should follow. Every day, I study the Fa, do exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts at the top of the hour to deny the persecution, purify myself, and eliminate the evil, and save sentient beings.

When I first started to explain the facts about Falun Gong to others, I didn't know how to do it and was afraid to talk to strangers. One of my former classmates is also a colleague. Once when we got together, I encouraged myself to tell him how evil the CCP is, that many people have already resigned from it, and that he should quickly quit in order to keep safe. It must have been Master helping me and giving me confidence, because he outright quit the CCP. I was very happy that day, not only for the saving of one more life, but also because I took another step.

Before July 20 this year, when my husband and I distributed informational materials, we were followed by someone sent by the company. My husband was under house arrest then. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts to dissolve every evil life and factor that persecuted us and deny the persecution. At the same time, I looked inside myself and found that I had been a little anxious lately and hadn't kept a pure heart while making the materials because I knew there was little time left in Fa-rectification process and I was a new practitioner, so I worried that I couldn't catch up with the process of Fa-rectification
Hearing the news about my husband, fellow practitioners in my area came as one body and kept sending forth righteous thoughts. Meanwhile, they discussed the Fa with me and helped me find my shortcoming, destroy the evil, and improve my understandings of the Fa. After we all upgraded our understandings of the Fa, the situation changed quickly. The directors of my husband's company finally realized the facts and my husband soon returned.

4. Leading a Young Disciple Well

After I became a practitioner, I often talked about the beauty of Dafa to my daughter and read the experience sharing articles from the Minghui website, especially those written by young practitioners. Gradually, she started to read the site on her own. When I made informational materials, my daughter assisted me, carefully sticking the labels on the envelopes and writing down addresses. This summer, she asked to study the Fa and read Zhuan Falun with us. She was very serious. Once when she fell asleep before sending forth righteous thoughts in the evening and I didn't wake her, she was unhappy with me.

Master said in "Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan," "I see that among the kids who practice, many have a significant background." Guiding them well on their cultivation path is also our responsibility. Right now, my daughter is busy with her studies and has little time to study the Fa. But when she has time, I ask her to study the Fa with us.

Practicing cultivation for over one year, I have nothing momentous to share, but I know that nothing can separate me from Dafa. I thank the website for this Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China. It gives me this opportunity to express my heartfelt wishes: Thanks for Master's revered salvation, thanks to all fellow practitioners who have helped me.
