(Clearwisdom.net) I live on a busy street of a small town. All kinds of buses from different directions stop there, and people often come and go. Meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruit are bought and sold here.
In my hometown, the fact that I cultivate in Dafa is known to almost everybody. I obtained Dafa in 1996. Before I obtained Dafa, I had many diseases, such as a gastric ulcer, and I was terribly thin. After I obtained Dafa, I was freed of illness and threw away a lot of medicines and changed for the better. My home is more than a half-mile away from the market. I am almost 70 years old and my hair is gray. Every day, I ride a bicycle to the market and sell vegetables and fruit. The fellow villagers all see this with their own eyes. The people I come into contact with are very numerous and diverse. I tell people how to become a good person and cultivate Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I do not pick up money from the ground when I see it, I am honest, and I treat everyone with compassion. If someone irritates me or scolds me, I do not fight with the person. I also clarify the truth to them. My Teacher was treated unjustly, and the self-immolation on the television was false and the suicide cases were also false. My Teacher taught us absolutely not to kill or commit suicide. They all know that I am a Falun Gong practitioner and say my heart is good and that I am kind.
One day, I sold green onions to a wholesale store. It was 0.5 yuan per Jin (One Jin is equal to 1.1 pounds) and the total was 31 Jin. The owner paid the money. I put it into my pocket and did not take a look. After I left, I found that he paid me 15 extra yuan. On the second day, when I went out to sell vegetables, I returned the over-paid money to the owner. He had not realized the mistake. There were several vendors in the store. I told them: "I study Dafa. Otherwise, I would not return the money. My Teacher taught us to be truthful." At that time, people who bought vegetables all looked at me and asked "Are you not afraid?" I said, "Afraid? My Teacher teaches me to be a good person and to cultivate Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Have I offended anyone? What is there to be afraid of?"
On one particular morning, I rode a bicycle to take vegetables to the market. When I was passing the intersection, I was hit by a big freight vehicle, which passed me from the same direction. Suddenly, the big freight vehicle turned to block my road ahead. Once I saw it, I immediately stopped and stood there. However, it was a long vehicle, so the rear wheel reached my back, in its turn. At that time, after I was hit by the wheel, I rolled out from below the wheel. I just remembered Master's words:
"a good or bad outcome comes from one thought." (Zhuan Falun)
I thought in my mind: "I am okay." As a result, I stood up at once. The driver was frightened badly. He got out and walked over to me. At this time, many people surrounded us. I said to the driver: "I'm ok. You can leave." I pushed my bicycle to leave. My nephew was amongst the crowd of surrounding people. He saw that it was me and said to the driver: "You hit my second aunt, and you want to leave? Aunty you cannot let him leave, go to a hospital to see if you are injured." The driver saw this and feared blackmail, so he took out money to give me and said: "Ma'am, you go to a hospital for an examination. I have an urgent matter. I have to go." He tried to give me the money, but I did not want to take it. One voice said from the surrounding people: "You hit a Falun Gong practitioner. If it was another person, it would have been a serious accident." When I heard this, I was very happy and felt proud in my heart.
Later on the driver called his friend to come over. I said to the driver: "You can leave. You have an urgent matter. I am okay." When the driver saw this, he hurried to ask his friend to deal with it and left. At this time, my son also came. My son said: "Mom, we do not want his money, but only if we have you examined in a hospital can we feel relieved." The driver's friend accompanied us to go to a hospital. Both my feet had scratches, and my fingers were crushed by the wheel and bleeding, but my bones were fine. They used medicine to wash the wounds and gauze to wrap them up. At that time, I was not afraid, either. When I returned home and took off my clothes, my back had an imprint of the tire. I immediately walked over in front of Master's image and kowtowed to Master. It was Master who pulled me out from the wheel. It was Master who gave me a second life.
At the beginning when we were persecuted, people saw me and kept far away from me when I walked on the street. Now when they see me, they come and greet me. When other vegetable or fruit vendors had to leave to take care of another matter, they asked me to cover for them. I helped them to sell their goods as if it were my own business. When they came back, I gave the money to them. They all say that I am good-hearted. I am happy that they can see this because through my actions, I have validated Dafa.
