Greetings, compassionate and great Master!
Greetings, respected fellow practitioners!
I was fortunate to encounter Dafa thirty-one years ago, and during this time both my body and mind have changed greatly. I would like to share some of my experiences here to report to Master and exchange understandings with fellow practitioners.
When I was young, I suffered from depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, neurasthenia, and insomnia. Life was filled with mental pain, and I often felt hopeless, even having suicidal thoughts. I read many books, tried various qigong practices, and even did conversion in Buddhism, but nothing freed me from suffering.
After finding Dafa, all my symptoms disappeared. I came to understand that the true meaning of life is to return to one’s original, true self. I became happy again and gradually learned what it truly means to be a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
1. Taking Personal Interests Lightly
Master said in Zhuan Falun, “Although great changes have taken place in human society, human moral values have declined tremendously. Human morality is deteriorating daily, and profits have become the sole motivation. Yet changes in the universe do not occur according to changes in humankind. As a practitioner, one cannot conduct oneself based on the standard of everyday people.”
When I worked in building design in China, kickbacks were common when choosing products. After learning Dafa, I politely declined all such money and donated the kickbacks and “thank-you” fees I had previously received to Project Hope schools.
Master also said in Zhuan Falun, “One practitioner works in a textile factory in X city of Shandong Province. After studying Falun Dafa, he taught other coworkers to practice. As a result, the factory has taken on a new look. He used to take home pieces of towels from the textile factory, and so did the rest of the employees. After practicing Dafa, instead of taking things home he brought back to the factory what he took home before. When others saw his actions, nobody would take things home anymore. Some employees also returned to the factory what they previously took home. This situation occurred throughout the entire factory.”
Since practicing Dafa, I have never taken even a sheet of paper or a pen from work. After the persecution began, I refused to use company resources to make truth-clarification materials and instead bought my own printer and supplies.
Because I upheld my faith in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and spoke out to clarify the truth, I was repeatedly persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party through illegal detention and forced labor. Before being dismissed from my job, I carefully handed over my work and returned all books and materials I had received.
After moving abroad, I applied for asylum. The government supported my language study and arranged internships in my field. As my language level was not yet sufficient and I did not want to burden the government, I volunteered for simple manual jobs. I worked in a nursing-home cafeteria, bakeries, restaurants, and factories before eventually finding employment at a social-welfare workshop.
Following the principles of Dafa, I brought my own lunch instead of eating at work. I never took company supplies and refused to follow others who did.
Earlier this year, I bought a new phone and accessories. When I discovered that the store had undercharged me, I went back to pay the difference. When I later realized that the welfare department might have overpaid my subsidy, I proactively informed them.
In a society where people think “you’re a fool if you don’t take advantage,” others might not understand my actions. But as a cultivator, I must act with integrity and sincerity, which brings true peace of mind.
Master said in Zhuan Falun, “Since studying Falun Dafa, these workers have been coming to work early and going home late. They work very diligently and will do any assignment the boss gives. They also no longer compete for personal gain. By doing so, they’ve made the whole factory take on a new look, and the factory’s economic returns have also improved.”
When memorizing this Fa, I remind myself not to arrive late or leave early, not to choose tasks, not to handle personal matters during work, and to take the initiative to clean areas like restrooms.
In today’s morally declining world, joking between male and female colleagues may seem harmless, but cultivators understand that behind it lurks lust. Guarding one’s moral character and resisting temptation is therefore a serious matter.
I have realized that every word and deed of a Dafa disciple is observed by both people and divine beings. Conducting oneself righteously is not only responsible for one’s own cultivation but also helps restrain the moral decline of society.
Letting go of personal interest also manifests in other ways. For example, when some of my videos were reposted by other practitioners and received more views than mine, I initially felt uneasy. Later, I reminded myself that they were also spreading the Fa and would perhaps recognize the issue on their own. I let it go.
Similarly, when I saw property prices falling or gold prices rising, I reminded myself that such things have nothing to do with cultivators. Whatever rises or falls, a cultivator’s virtue does not change. What matters is elevating one’s xinxing and not being moved by worldly fluctuations.
2. Strengthening the Main Consciousness and Overcoming Emotion
Last year I passed a major xinxing test by letting go of attachment to family sentiment. At that time, I often had improper thoughts and even heard voices in my mind. I recognized that these were not me but external interferences that needed to be eliminated.
To higher beings, emotion is like filth. My life has been extended by Dafa; I should not envy worldly “happiness,” as it belongs to human life. I should let it go.
I strengthened my main consciousness through reciting the Fa and told every cell and being within and around me to rectify themselves according to Dafa.
I do not acknowledge the mechanisms arranged by the old forces. I only listen to Master and am not controlled by desire, lust, or emotion within the Three Realms. I reject all low-level arrangements and restrictions.
To the being that kept “talking” in my mind, I said, “You are not me—stop.” I also recited Master’s words from Teachings at the 2004 International Conference in New York, “During the Fa-rectification of the cosmos, I can make a reasonable arrangement for those of you who don’t interfere with my validating the Fa; I can have you become beings in the future. Those of you who seek a benevolent resolution should leave me and wait in my surroundings. If you really cannot leave me, then don’t have any part in interfering with me. In the future I will be able to achieve Consummation, and I will offer you a benevolent resolution. Those who are completely bad, who still interfere with me and who cannot remain will, according to the standards, have to be eliminated. Even if I don’t eliminate you, the Law of the cosmos won’t let you remain.”
I came to cultivate myself well and save sentient beings, fulfilling my vow to the Creator and to all beings. Whatever of me has not yet been rectified is the postnatally formed part and must be corrected.
After this effort, the interference stopped, and my mind became clear and peaceful.
3. Removing Internet Addiction and Saving More People
For a period of time, I spent long hours online watching news and prophecies. My eyes and head began to hurt. I realized that although my initial intention was to spread the truth online, I had developed an attachment to preference and excitement. Even watching programs by fellow practitioners became a form of fascination. I had become addicted to the internet, delaying Fa-study and exercises.
Looking inward, I discovered an attachment to time—the wish to see the situation change quickly so I could return to China and visit my family. This attachment wasted precious time and needed to be let go.
Cultivators must do the three things well and not be delayed. No matter how the situation changes—whether persecution intensifies or support increases—we must cultivate ourselves well and use our time to save people.
I found that practicing the exercises outdoors helps a lot: it spreads the Fa and keeps me away from the internet. Studying the Fa with fellow practitioners strengthens righteous thoughts and helps remove bad habits.
After several rounds of effort, I finally let go of my attachment to the internet and returned to a normal state.
While making rescue calls or persuading people to quit the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), I noticed attachments of impatience, superiority, and the desire to teach others. I resolved to remove these and treat people with compassion.
Recently, I helped a friend I’ve known for ten years to quit the CCP. She is a Christian and never accepted what I said before. Perhaps my xinxing improved and the time was right—this time she agreed happily.
At a local train station collecting signatures for End CCP, I helped a young Chinese tourist find her platform and persuaded her to quit smoothly, as if fulfilling a long-awaited wish.
During another activity distributing materials, I met a woman who had lived abroad for years. After she quit the Youth League, she smiled brightly.
It is harder to persuade people from China’s public security and legal sectors, but I sometimes open with a short verse when calling them:
Friend, hello—please hear my words of gold:
Kind or evil arises from a single thought; good people receive divine protection.
Sons and daughters of China—do not be heirs to Marx and Lenin.
Heaven will destroy the CCP—quitting ensures safety.
Treat Dafa disciples kindly—your future will be blessed.
Conclusion
Amid the declining morality of the human world, I am deeply grateful to Master for saving and elevating my life, and grateful for the greatness of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Even in turbulent times when humanity faces danger, the universal Dafa continues to spread. I hope all who are predestined can find and cherish it, for it is the only path for beings to return home.
These are my limited understandings. Please kindly correct me if anywhere is inappropriate.
Grateful to Master!
