(Clearwisdom.net) This happened to an over 60 year-old female Falun Dafa practitioner of the Korean minority who lives in a remote village in northeastern China. I am writing this story as she has told it.
On February 15, 2005, I was crossing a ten centimeter high footbridge when I slipped on the snow-covered bridge and fell. I fainted instantly.
After regaining consciousness, I saw myself sitting on the ground, and I thought to myself, "I'm a Dafa practitioner, and it does not look good sitting here. I should get up quickly." But as I used my hand to prop myself up, I realized that my wrist was completely broken. The back of my hand was touching my forearm, with the skin still intact.
At that moment, I was not frightened. Without hesitation, I straightened my left hand with my right and stretched out the fingers one by one. Even though the hand was straightened, I still noticed the broken bone. In between the back of my hand and my wrist, there were two bones that bulged out. It was also then that I felt a piercing pain. I immediately thought, "I'm a Dafa practitioner. I'm not hurting."
As soon as this thought emerged, a miracle happened. The pain vanished, and I only felt a slight ache. I saw a small Falun rotating quickly around one of the bulging bones, healing the wounded area. As the bone slowly flattened, the small Falun rotated to the other bulge, and it finally vanished after repairing and healing my wrist.
I then tried to make a fist. Although I was able to move my fingers, they did not have any strength. I thought that as a practitioner, I should not let others see me sitting there, and that I should get up soon.
I did not know the severity of my injuries until I tried to get up. I could not move my legs or feet, as they had no strength. The pain was excruciating. When I touched the area with my hands, there was a hollow soft spot where my left pelvis was broken. Because it hurt so much, I promptly thought, "I'm a Dafa practitioner. I'm not hurting, I'm fine." As soon as this thought arose, another miracle happened. I saw a large Falun rotating quickly around the buttock area, repairing and healing it. The pain lessened right away, and the buttock felt very warm. After the Falun finished its job and left, I wanted to get up quickly and not let anyone see me sitting here. I propped my right hand on the ground and got up. I straightened the sleeve of my injured hand, held on to my honey jar with my other hand and went home.
At home, my husband noticed something unusual about my arm and asked what had happened. I said I bumped it a little bit, no big deal. In the evening, I used one hand to do the housework. But when I went to sleep that night, I noticed my arm was swollen, and the skin was bruised. My wounds did not hurt much and only felt sore, as if I had been working tirelessly. I was not bothered by this when lying on my back or on my side.
After my husband and children's continuous probing, I told them about my fall. They were all astonished. They insisted that I check in to the county hospital for an examination. I said to them, "I practice Dafa, I will be fine. Please do not worry." I stretched my arm and kicked my leg to reassure them. When they saw that I was fine, they no longer insisted. Finally, my husband said, "OK, I believe you. If you recover, I will start practicing with you!" A few days later, the puffiness disappeared and the bruise was gone. It only took thirteen days to heal completely.
I witnessed Dafa's miraculous effect for a second time two years ago, when I encountered a similar incident. I tripped and fell while picking up logs in the courtyard. The heel of my foot was turned forward. I thought then, "I'm a practitioner, I'm OK." While enduring the pain and clenching my teeth, I twisted the heel around. I gave it another try and stood up. Even now, I still do not know for certain whether my ankle was broken or not. I took the injury lightly and went on with my daily business, and I was only crippled for a few days while it healed.
The two similar experiences allowed my family, my neighbors and I to witness the miraculous effects of Dafa. Later, my husband and some of my neighbors began to learn Dafa as well.
After experiencing these two hardships, I realized merciful Teacher must have born the pain and repaid lifetimes of karma for me. I have also understood that as long as we firmly believe in Teacher and Dafa, there is no test that we cannot pass. Teacher will always be there to protect us.
Teacher said in Zhuan Falun,
"I am telling everyone that no matter how uncomfortable you are, you must continue to attend this class. Once you walk into the classroom, all of your symptoms will vanish and there will not be any danger."
Now I have a deeper understanding of Teacher's words in this passage. We should always have righteous thoughts and remember that we are Dafa practitioners. As long as we live in the Fa, practice in the Fa, and focus our thoughts in the Fa, then regardless of the tests and hardships we encounter, we always pass without danger because Teacher can truly eliminate it for us in another dimension. What Teacher asks of us is that we firmly believe in Teacher and in Dafa.
