(Clearwisdom.net) Master purifies my body

I suffered from different illnesses before I practiced Falun Gong. After I began to practice in 1996, I went through tremendous changes, inside and out. The second night after watching Master’s lectures my stomach suddenly hurt. I told my stomach: stop hurting because I wanted to watch Master’s lectures. As I said so, it actually stopped hurting. After I got home that night, however, I had a high fever and needed to run to use the toilet many times. Nevertheless, the next day, everything returned to normal. I continued listening to Master’s lectures. When I heard that Master told us how he cleansed disciples’ bodies I completely understood what was happening to me. Master cleansed my body for three nights, and after that, all of the illnesses that I had before were healed. It was truly a miracle.

I gave the evil forces some loopholes not long ago when I busied myself with ordinary people’s things. Getting up one day, I felt uncomfortable. I knew that I was fine, so I went to practice the exercises. When I finished I noticed that my face and my right hand were swollen and I could not speak. Looking inside right away, I found out that I was attached to emotions and that I did not study the Fa well. I also had not clarified the truth about Falun Gong. I increased my Fa-study and sending righteous thoughts. My residence is a group-study site; hence practitioners came to my residence and helped me send righteous thoughts. After I studied the Fa, practiced the exercises, and sent righteous thoughts diligently, my physical condition improved.

But I lost control of my bowels one day. I was not scared because I knew that Master was right with me and I must disintegrate the evil forces. Very soon everything returned to normal. One morning in the bathroom I heard a voice telling me, “Every single cell and all of your body organs have your image. You are in charge.” Suddenly, I felt a hot flow permeating my body, and all of the discomfort vanished.

I have such a magnificent Master protecting me. There is no reason for me not to be diligent. I must do what Master tells me so that I can save more sentient beings.

Telling people the facts; offering sentient beings salvation

Other practitioners and I were incarcerated at our work place after the persecution started in July 1999. The evildoers monitored me around the clock. After we were free, we went to Beijing to appeal. We practiced the exercises at Tiananmen Square. Because of that, some police yelled profanities at us and hit us. We were dragged onto a police vehicle and later held in a detention center. Eventually we were taken back and detained in our own workplace again. During the entire time I continuously told those who guarded us the facts. When they took turns watching me in four shifts I told them the truth, in one shift after another.

I was released a month later, but was called in every day because they were afraid I would go to Beijing again. One day someone at my workplace called me to go talk to them. They called me three times, but I refused to go. After that, they came to my residence to take me with them. On my way there I asked Master to protect me. The room was full of people when we got there. Fearlessly I told them, “After practicing Falun Gong, I changed from having to take medicine everyday to a person without any physical problems at all. Right now, I’m in very good health. If something happens to me, you’ll have to take full responsibility. If you have nothing to say, I’ll leave now.” Then they all stood up and watched me leave. At that moment I had no fear. From then on, no one bothered me anymore.

One day when practitioners from other areas brought many Falun Gong materials, my attachments to fear and uneasiness surfaced. Because of that I was scared when I went out to distribute the materials. I felt like my heart was going to jump out. I felt as if there were evil forces everywhere. Consequently, I did not hand out any materials and had to take all of them home. To eliminate the attachment of fear, I sent righteous thoughts. When I went out again I was not as afraid as before. It is very important to send righteous thoughts. From then on I took sending righteous thoughts very seriously.

Once, I returned to my hometown to visit a friend. It was snowing heavily. Before leaving my residence I asked Master, “Master, please arrange those who have predestined relations with me to come to me so that I can offer them salvation.” As soon as I left home I came across my cousin and helped him to do the “Three Withdrawals.” Walking in the heavy snow I fell down numerous times, but I did not give up and helped about 100 people to quit the Party's organizations that day.

To help taxi drivers learn the truth, sometimes I even took taxis to places that were not very far away from where I needed to go. I gave information about Falun Gong to a taxi driver. I also told him Party members should all quit the Party. He replied, “OK, I’ll quit.” I left him the materials and I paid him with the bills that had, “Falun Dafa is good,” and “Quit the Party to protect your life” written on them. Recently I ran into this taxi driver again. Happily he told me, “Thank you very much! Falun Dafa is truly good! I chanted ‘Falun Dafa is good’ every day, and my enteritis that I had had for many years was healed. I wrote down ‘Falun Dafa is good,’ ‘Quit the CCP to protect your life’ on all of the bills I have.”

Master taught me to read and write

I used to just go to join the group practice and leave after doing the exercises. The local coordinator told me that I should join the group Fa-study too. I was over sixty years old when I obtained the Fa and illiterate. What could I do? A few days after that I opened Zhuan Falun and looked at Master’s smile for a long time. I told Master, “Master, I must learn how to read the Fa.”

When I looked at Zhuan Falun another day, I noticed that every single word in the book had a golden box surround it, and all the words were shiny. I was very excited because I knew that Master showed that to me to encourage me. With Master’s encouragement and practitioners’ help and my family’s support, very quickly I was able to read the Fa. I felt Master’s mighty virtue and the miracles of Dafa even more. After that I went to my hometown to tell people about Falun Gong. All of my relatives I spoke to could not believe what had happened to me, saying it was miraculous, and because of that, many also began to practice Falun Gong.

I had another wish--to copy the Fa--but I had never copied any words before. One day at my son’s house I said, “I want to copy the Fa.” Unexpectedly my son said, “You should have done it a long time ago.”

My son and daughter-in-law supported me in my effort to copy the Fa and brought many notebooks for me. This is how I began to learn to write. The first time I simply traced the strokes on paper. It took me about five hours to finish copying half a page. That night at 1:00 a.m. I suddenly saw that every single word that I wrote was glistening like small pearls. It felt as if I were dreaming that Master was holding my hands to write. That feeling was so amazing that I cannot find any words to describe it. From then on I could copy faster. Every night I went to bed at 1:00 a.m. and three months later, I finished copying the Fa.

When practitioners worldwide began to send righteous thoughts together four times a day, I began studying the Fa every night and do not go to bed until after sending righteous at midnight. I tell myself that I must send righteous thoughts so that I will not provide the evil forces with any loopholes. Since all the practitioners in China began to practice the exercises at 3:45 every morning, I have also joined the group practice every morning.

I have one attachment--which is that I do not like to hear criticism. I am like what Master said,

“Some people have become like matches--one stroke and they ignite. They're like land mines--one step and they detonate. [They are acting like,] "You can't criticize me. I can't take any criticism."" ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles" 2006)

Having read this part of the lecture, I know I must eliminate that attachment.
