(Clearwisdom.net) As I grew older, my health deteriorated, with all kinds of illnesses surfacing. In 1995, I was plagued by sciatica (a sharp or burning pain that radiates from the lower back or hip) and could hardly work. During those years, I spent a lot of money in seeing medical doctors, but nothing seemed to help. In January 1998 when I was sixty, I obtained the Fa. I attended a nine-day lecture series, and miraculous changes happened to me. All my illnesses disappeared and my body began to feel strong and light.
I had been working as a village leader for many years and all the people in my village and neighboring villages knew me as a tough and stubborn man. Once I started cultivation, people all began to praise me by saying: "Falun Dafa is really good! It not only improved Wanjin's health, but also his temper."
However, the road of cultivation is by no means easy, and it holds many hardships and tribulations. Sometimes dangerous things may occur in the course of cultivation practice. However, with righteous thoughts, we can pass all of these tests. The following accounts are my two experiences of escaping danger with righteous thoughts. I would like to write them down to share with all fellow practitioners.
First Experience
One day in January 1998, soon after I began cultivation practice, I was digging yams with my wife in the open field behind our house. The field was terraced land on the hillside. As I was lifting the spade, I lost my balance and fell down two terraces and landed on a rock. I felt dizzy and did not get up. I touched my head and found blood. My wife lifted me up and I said to her: "There is nothing wrong with me." I went back up the terrace and practiced the four sets of standing exercises. After that, my energy was restored and I resumed work. One villager who saw what happened that day later told me: "I really thought that you had died." Isn't it because of Master's protection that I survived?
Second Experience
On January 4, 2006, my eldest daughter-in-law and my three-year-old grandson were going to catch a bus on a main road about three miles from home. I rode my bicycle with my grandson on a small seat near the handle bars while my daughter-in-law walked. She was soon left a long way behind us. As I rode on the right side of the main road, I put on my brakes. Suddenly there appeared a motorcycle rushing towards us very quickly. There wasn't any other traffic on the road, and the rider rode straight at us. We were knocked off the bike and thrown into the field beside the road. For a second, I was knocked unconscious, but awoke to find my grandson firmly held in my hands. He was fine since he was wearing Dafa charm amulets around his neck. I knew straight away that it was Master who had protected us.
My daughter-in-law cried and lifted us up. At that time, I only felt a bit dizzy and my body hurt a bit. My grandson was so frightened he couldn't speak. The handle bars were so damaged after the collision that the bike could not be used. What was even stranger was that the motorcycle was pushed four or five meters down the road and the rider was thrown off. I said to the motorcycle rider: "There is nothing wrong. You can leave." He then offered one hundred yuan for my grandson to buy something to eat as well as money to reimburse me for the broken bicycle. I did not accept the money. I told him I am a Dafa practitioner. He thanked me several times and said: "Falun Dafa practitioners are really good!"
Of course, there have been many other tests during my cultivation and they are all opportunities for me to upgrade myself. I came to realize that in the course of cultivation, no matter what you may encounter, whether they are tribulations of personal cultivation, or persecution by the old forces, as long as you always remember that you are a Dafa practitioner, and believe in Master and the Fa, all the hardships and danger will disappear.
