A Stick Wake-up from Master

Recently, I became lazy and attached to comfort, and this loophole was exploited by the evil forces. Whenever I studied the Fa I would get sleepy and even fall asleep. When I woke up, half an hour would have passed. Nevertheless, our compassionate Master did not let me go and used another practitioner to give me a stick wake-up.

Yesterday afternoon, a fellow practitioner and I travelled to a neighbouring county's Fa study group to share our experiences and improve as one body.

A 70-year-old practitioner who had only obtained the Fa two months ago began describing her experiences. In the past, she had poor health and a lot of diseases, including heart disease. A frequent visitor to the hospital, her family members were all very worried for her. A Dafa disciple surnamed Sun clarified the truth to her, and this woman decided that she wanted to cultivate. Because there were no Fa study groups in her village, and she was illiterate, she had to go to another practitioner's home. Even though it was ten kilometres away, she insisted on going. Master helped her to cleanse her body and she saw Master removing three huge, black, dirty things from her body. She immediately realized that her heart disease was now cured. Indeed, she became very energized and all her health problems were gone.

Thanking Master for giving her a second life, she knew that she had obtained the Fa late and began to study the Fa diligently. Every day, whether she was walking, working or even cooking, she thought about Dafa. Since she was illiterate, she asked her daughter and granddaughter to teach her the Fa, working on memorizing it every day and asking for Master's support. Now she is able to read the entire book. Wherever she went, she would clarify the truth using herself as an example. Her husband soon began to practice. Her daughter also asked her mother-in-law to practice. Furthermore, this practitioner would travel many kilometres to put up posters and flyers in neighbouring towns and counties.

I was instantly touched. It was a stick wake-up. This practitioner was like a mirror in front of my eyes. Thinking about my own attachments to comfort and how I have been interfered with by attachments to sentimentality, I feel truly ashamed.

Realizing is not enough--we have to put it to work. I thought of all the places that I normally go and made posters and flyers to put up. Once we do something with righteousness, the power of Dafa will emerge.

When I walked towards one house to put up a flyer, a dog began to bark, but I was undeterred. While sending forth righteous thoughts, I arrived in front of the house, and the dog stopped barking. I know Master was encouraging me.

I will definitely be diligent. Please feel free to point out any inadequacies.
