I started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. One morning in early lunar November 1996, the temperature dropped suddenly due to a strong wind. I went home from the practice site, and I felt like I had a serious cold. I was cold and felt feverish. I had heard from fellow practitioners about eliminating sickness karma. I wondered if this was the elimination of karma. I just got cold from the chilly weather, could it be counted as elimination of karma? In my mind I believed it was the elimination of karma for one moment, but after a while I questioned it. I became firm after thinking of what Master told us.
However, the sickness karma occurred so quickly and suddenly. When I felt cold, even after covering up with two quilts on a warm bed, I still had shivers and my teeth chattered. When I felt feverish, I even sensed that my heart was burning. I removed the quilt but still felt hot. I turned from side to side all day. In the evening when my family members returned, I suffered a lot from this turning from side to side. During the night I was afraid that my symptoms would become even worse.
When my temperature was checked at the hospital, it was 38 degrees Celsius (100o F). Everyone said that it might not be correct. After a while the temperature was still 38 degrees. I felt puzzled about how I could struggle through that. Then I was given a shot for the cold and three packs of medicine. I took one pack of medicine after going home, and the doctor said that at 12:00 o'clock I should take another one. I slept until 12:00 o'clock, and when I woke up I thought that I felt better after taking medicine. I got off the bed and took another pack. Immediately after I took the medicine I threw up. I hurried to the keg in the outhouse and tried to vomit. However I could not throw anything up. I breathed heavily, and sweat was streaming down my back. My body was weak, and my brain was blank. My mouth bolted out, "Master, please let me throw it up." Shortly afterwards, I threw up three pills. I recovered at once just like nothing happened.
I slept again, and I dimly heard a voice saying:
"It is not that it's painful on the path of cultivation,
Karma of lifetimes and lifetimes impedes;
Steeling the heart, eliminating karma, cultivating xinxing,
Forever possessing a human form is a Buddha."("Causality" from Hongyin)
I suddenly awakened and thought, isn't this the voice of Master? I was moved to tears because it was Master giving a hint to me. It also tested if I firmly believed in the Fa and Master. This time I thought a lot, and I was determined in eliminating the karma. However, when I started to have some food, I could not eat.
In my family, as I could remember, my great grandfather died from throat cancer at the age of 32, my grandfather died from throat cancer at 36, my father's elder brother died from throat cancer at 56, and my father died from heart disease. Seeing that my father's elder brother died from hunger, I was even more afraid as I thought of it. However, when I thought that I was a practitioner, my confidence increased greatly. At that time, I did not have the strength to go to bed, but I grabbed the bed cover and was very determined. I did not know how much time passed. My son came back from evening study and woke me up. When I sat up, I did not have any symptoms. Then I thought of eating something, and I did not vomit what I ate. I thought that Dafa was so miraculous, and I just thought that Master was around me. Thank you, Master. If I had not met Master, I would have died of disease several years ago.
Several days later, when I just put the bed-cover on, I soliloquized in my heart, "Master, how did I meet the requirements when my karma was eliminated?" Just when I closed my eyes, I saw through my celestial eye that there appeared a deep-red Falun above my head as big as a washbasin. The Falun was turning down from my head to my body, making some slight sounds at the same time. When the Falun turned at the top of my head, I felt very comfortable. When the Falun turned between my heart and my stomach, I felt light as if there was nothing inside my body. The feeling was just terrific! When the Falun rotated around my legs, I levitated into the air with the bed-cover on me. Exactly when I was about to levitate completely into the air from my bed, the Falun rotated to my feet, and my levitation ended. Again, the status of my body reverted to the former situation, and I felt that I was as heavy as a stone and my body was being pushed down solidly to my bed. I came to understand that it was Master who was telling me that I still had karma in my body. If I hadn't had any karma, my body should be able to levitate just as I did a moment ago. My experience had showed me what the status of the body was when it was completely purified.
After a large piece of karma was eliminated, with the protective hint from Master, I saw many magnificent things with my celestial eye and understood many Fa principles. Once I saw scenes of Master and Lao Zi. Lao Zi talked to Master with his finger pointing at me, but I could not hear clearly what he was saying. However, Master's voice saying the Chinese word "Neng" (meaning "able" or "can" in Chinese) was unforgettable to me. The tone was firm, confident, affirming, and kind. I was then standing across from them, and I was very small and they were very large. They pointed at me when they talked, and the tone indicated that Master especially believed that I could accomplish something and meet His requirements. Therefore on the cultivation path I am following, no matter what kind of difficulty I meet, Master's "Neng" is like a bright light illuminating my path. Since I have the "Neng" that Master trusted me with engraved in my mind, it gives me courage and wisdom. Since then my life has dissolved into Dafa, and I am very determined, like a rock, about Master's requirements. Nothing can move my heart.
