(Minghui.org) I have not worked at my school for nine years, but whenever I visit, the teachers—my former coworkers—welcome me and stay close to me. I now work in an administrative position, and I conduct myself according to Dafa's requirements. People here are very sophisticated, so I cannot slack off a bit; otherwise it would create obstacles for them to understand the truth. Over the years, my coworkers have come to respect me for who I am.

Now I'm healthy, broadminded, and optimistic. All of these miraculous changes are due to Master's merciful arrangements.

Remove Selfishness by Cultivating in Dafa

I used to be narrow-minded and had a short temper before I became a practitioner. I once got into a conflict with my wife's parents, which developed into something so big that everyone in my village as well as the surrounding villages knew about it, and everyone, including all their relatives and the old folks in my village, all turned against me.

After I started practicing Falun Gong and read Zhuan Falun over and over again, I understood the meaning of life as well as many other mysteries. I started making up for my mistakes, resolved old conflicts, and improved relations with my neighbors. I conducted myself according to the requirements of the Fa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Following our esteemed Master's teaching that one should think of others first in every circumstance and at every moment and become a better and better person, I became less selfish. My wife worked in the village factory and had to make dinner as soon as she came home. I told myself that I should try to make dinner for her. I didn't know how to cook, but Dafa has opened my wisdom and I learned how to cook. My wife was touched, and my mother-in-law was very pleased. Now I am an experienced cook and I am especially good at making steamed buns. Everybody in the village knows I make good buns. During holidays, before guests arrive at my parents-in-law's home, my wife and I go over to help make food and receive guests. We have been doing this and other housework for her parents for nearly 20 years without being asked. All my wife's relatives know I'm a good person. They all say I changed after I began practicing Falun Gong.

Before I started practicing cultivation I was very hard on my students when I was a schoolteacher. I would yell at those who didn't finish their homework or did not meet the requirements in other ways, and often spank them. After becoming a practitioner, I managed my students following Dafa's requirements, and sincerely cared about them. I made friends with them and visited their families as often as I could. All my students and their parents liked me. They knew I was indeed thinking of them and that I was a good teacher.

They all knew that I practiced Falun Gong. In the beginning, influenced by the regime's evil propaganda, they had bad thoughts about me and Falun Gong. But now their opinion has completely changed.

In addition, I conducted myself according to Dafa's requirements and never got into conflicts with coworkers or fought over things with them. I looked inside and worked extra hours every day. I fetched hot water and swept the floor without being asked and obeyed every rule at school. My achievements in teaching were in the top of the entire county every year, and the principle, my coworkers, the students, and their parents were all happy with my work.

Live Healthy and Happily

Before practicing cultivation, I often got sick. Doing housework or working in the field was very tiring for me, especially harvesting wheat in the fall.

After practicing Dafa, my body significantly improved. I became very healthy and my body was light and free of illnesses. I have not needed any medicine for 15 years, and I do not get tired working. During fall harvest, I am always far in the lead. Even those who work in the fields all year long cannot keep up with me, and I am not tired.

One year, my family teamed up with another family to bring in the harvest. The other family hired several young men in their 30s. Our job was tying the straw into bundles. In a short while, I was in the lead. They tried to keep up with me but couldn't, no matter how hard they tried. I wasn't tired at all and I was much older than they. They knew I practiced Falun Gong but didn't know Falun Gong was so wonderful.

After I was transferred to the administrative position, I participated in a hiking trip organized by the management. In the beginning, there were many participants, but gradually the crowd became smaller and smaller. At the end, only a few of us made it to the peak, including me. While others were breathing heavily and sweating badly during the hike, I was very relaxed throughout, even though I was the oldest among those who made it to the peak. Everyone gave me a thumbs up and expressed their admiration for Dafa.

Having practiced cultivation in Falun Dafa since March 1998, I can proudly tell everyone, "Falun Dafa is good. Zhen-Shan-Ren is good!"
