Recalling Teacher's Visit to Linqing City, Shandong Province Written by Xiaolian, a Dafa practitioner from Linqing City, Shandong Province (Clearwisdom.net) On May 7, 1993, our great Teacher paid a visit to Linqing City, Shandong
Province. Sparing no effort to save sentient beings, he gave a series of ten-day
lectures on Falun Gong in Linqing City. More than ten years have since passed,
but the lofty image of Teacher, soft-spoken and ever smiling, remains in my
mind, ever inspiring me to walk firmly the path of returning to my true self. We saw Teacher for the first time in a park. Teacher was dressed neatly in a
dark blue suit, with a white shirt and black leather shoes. He looked very
young, less than 30. Myself and a relative drew about two meters away from him
when he smiled warmly to us. A relative of mine asked Teacher to cure his
disease, and Teacher agreed. Teacher was so kind and approachable that after
spending a long time with him we still did not want to leave. Later, I heard
from a fellow practitioner that Teacher had selected for us a place in the park
as a practice site, and had purified that area with his supernormal abilities. During the Fa lectures given by Teacher in Linqing City, there
was a lot of interference. I still remember that some music suddenly started
playing from the speakers when Teacher was giving a lecture. He said, "They
just do not want you to listen to the Fa." Then he put down the microphone
and started to give the lecture directly. He asked us in all directions,
"Can you hear me clearly?" He did not continue with the lecture until
all of us answered: "Yes, we can!" He was always smiling warmly and
was considerate of us all the time. After all the lectures were over, Teacher
bought a big tape player with his own money and gave it to the practitioners of
Linqing City to use at the practice site. Teacher purified our bodies while giving the Fa lectures. A practitioner had
been saving money for a long time to have an operation for her breast cancer
before she came to the Fa lectures. But after she heard that there was a Falun
Gong lecture in Linqing City, she chose to attend the lecture instead of going
to the hospital. After she attended the lectures, she found to her amazement
that the cancerous tumor in her breast was gone. She has been symptom-free ever
since. When the lectures were over, she shared her understandings, but she was
so excited that she could hardly speak and could not help shedding tears of
gratitude to Teacher. I had also been in bad physical condition. I had suffered from insomnia,
irregular heart beat, three uterine tumors and spurs in the heels. My heels gave
me so much pain that I did not dare let my feet touch the ground when I got up.
I also suffered from another disability that I had developed after childbirth,
which prevented me from lifting my arms. My leg also gave me constant pain, and
I sometimes had high fever and had to stay in bed for days on end. Life was very
hard for me at that time. After I attended Teacher's 10-day lecture series, all
these diseases were gone, and I began to enjoy a sense of comfort that I had not
felt before. During the lectures, before Teacher started to purify our bodies,
Teacher asked us to think about the illnesses that we had or, if we were not ill
ourselves, to think about our relatives or friends who were ill. At the time I
even forgot that I was a seriously ill person. Above all, ever since that lecture I started to understand that the genuine
purpose of human life is to return to our true selves. My understandings about
the world and my life were so completely revolutionized that I felt that I had
turned into a new person both physically and mentally. I remember Teacher said that we were extremely fortunate to attend the
lectures, and that we were awarded such a precious opportunity because of the
mighty virtue of our ancestors. He asked us to cherish such an opportunity. At
that time, however, I failed to understand the profound meaning of Teacher's
words and the great blessing the gods had given us. Now I have come to realize
that nothing can be compared to the fortune that Dafa brings to us. On the night
when all the lectures had ended, Teacher stood at the side of the lecture table
and watched us all leave the lecture hall. We fixed our eyes upon Teacher and
were reluctant to depart. How time flies! More than a decade has passed! Whenever I recall the time of
Teacher's visit to Linqing City I always feel overwhelmed. Teacher, Dafa
practitioners from Linqing City miss you dearly. Amidst the hardships of the past ten plus years, Teacher has taken care of me
at every moment. Following Teacher closely, I have walked the path of my
cultivation to this day. When the slander and lies of the Communist regime were
cast upon Dafa and Teacher, I knew very well that they were not true. On the
contrary, they allowed me to ever more clearly distinguish good from evil. Our
Teacher is the greatest, the most compassionate and the most righteous. I will
continue to do well the three things and never let Teacher down. I
will do my best, so that Teacher may rest assured and be pleased. Posting date: 1/7/2007 |
