(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in July 1996. At the time, I had seven or eight diseases. Through cultivation all of my illnesses disappeared. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, the old forces interfered with me in multiple ways. I had illness karma, but passed the small tests easily.
I had three big tests from 2003 to 2006. I had symptoms of a stroke. My human mentality won over and I went to the hospital. However, every time I came back from the hospital, I regretted that my will was not firm. This spring after I was released from the hospital, I studied the Fa repeatedly, especially the new lectures of 2006. I thought that in the future I will take the Fa as the Teacher and eliminate any human mentality.
In late May, due to my attachment, the evil took advantage of my loopholes again. Part of the reason behind this was that I did not pass the previous tests well. I got up and had the symptom of a stroke. My body felt numb and I could not walk steadily. I instantly eliminated the interference of the dark minions and rotten ghosts in my dimensional space and strengthened my righteous thoughts. I thought, "I am a Dafa disciple. I must follow the teachings of Master, have faith in Teacher and the Fa, have righteous thoughts and actions and walk the path arranged by Teacher. If I made any agreements with the old forces in history, I firmly negate them. I only follow the cultivation way arranged by Teacher. Everything is decided by my Teacher." During that day several fellow practitioners sent righteous thoughts for me and encouraged me. I strengthened my righteous faith and thoughts.
On the second day, I said I wanted to get up from bed and do some housework. My daughter-in-law firmly prevented me from doing so. My son, daughter and daughter-in-law and the other people in the room wanted to take me to the hospital, but I firmly refused. I told them, "I can understand how you feel. You are worried to see me like this. In the past, you took me to the hospital and that cost a lot of money. Now I can recover even if I do not go to the hospital because I am a cultivator. Just wait. I will surely recover!"
On the third day, I put down my crutch, and with fellow practitioners I practiced the exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts every hour. During the fourth day, I went out to distribute truth clarification materials and used my own actions to break the old forces' arrangements. My two sons called me to ask me to do a transfusion, I told them not to worry, that I am okay now.
Through passing this illness tribulation, I understand many things, such as looking inside when confronting tribulations, taking the Fa as the Teacher, and anything that does not conform with Dafa is the arrangement of the old forces and is interference. A genuine Dafa practitioner has to use the Fa's standards when facing anything, and has to persist in resisting everything from the old forces. A genuine Dafa practitioner must also continue eliminating attachments, and continue upgrading their levels. My neighbors and children have all seen the miracles of Dafa manifest in me with their own eyes, and they are all sincerely convinced. They all said, "Falun Dafa is really good."
