(Clearwisdom.net) April 30, 2011 was an unusual day for practitioner A. If she hadn't practiced Falun Dafa, it might have been the last day of her life.
The day started out as usual. After dinner, practitioner A took some truth-clarification signs and went out. On her way back home, after finishing putting up the signs, a car hit her from behind at full speed. She was knocked to the ground and fell unconscious. When she finally regained consciousness, she couldn't remember anything. After a while, she gradually regained her memory. The doctor told her, “You were hit by a car and the driver fled. It's been several hours now. The bone on the right side of your face was broken. The right side of your body is all bruised and your lips and mouth have been bleeding. We are not sure how your organs and bones are doing and will need to do a complete examination. It is a miracle already that you have become conscious.” Practitioner A asked the doctor to contact her family. When her family arrived, they couldn't even recognize her. She had blood all over her shirt and in her hair and her face was swollen. The right side of her face was bruised and her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see anything. Her family was quite scared. Practitioner A said, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. I'm OK. Our Teacher protects us. There won't be any problems. I don't look good, but don't worry, I'll be released today.” In fact, while she said this, her whole body was in great pain.
When the doctor came back, practitioner A asked to be released from the hospital. The doctor was shocked, “How can you be released? Don't take your life as a joke. This is serious!” The doctor refused to release her, but practitioner A insisted and eventually, she was released. After she went home, she lay down on the bed. Then she realized that she should get up to do the Dafa exercises. When doing the first set of exercises, her chest hurt so much that she couldn't stretch her arms. She asked Teacher to strengthen her so she could finish all of the five sets of exercises. Each move brought unbearable pain. Sweat as well as tears kept running down her bruised face. After doing the five sets of exercises, she couldn't stand any more and fell down to the bed. Still she repeatedly recited Teacher's poem in her heart,
“A Great Enlightened One fears no hardship
Having forged an adamantine will
Free of attachment to living or dying
He walks the path of Fa-rectification
confident and poised” (Hong Yin II)
She kept reciting the poem until she fell asleep. When she woke up, she felt better. When she sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil's arrangement, she felt Falun rotating on her face, her shoulders, and her back. Immediately the pains were gone. She knew it was Teacher that was making adjustments to her body. She was moved to tears. Words could not express her gratitude to Teacher.
On the fourth day after the accident, she actually rode a bicycle to work. Teacher said, “We’d say that a good or bad outcome comes from one thought. The difference in one thought leads to different results.”(Zhuan Falun) With her firm belief in Teacher and the Fa, she braved through with her righteous thoughts and righteous actions. Her family and those who heard about her experience all witnessed Dafa's magnificent supernormal power. If instead of keeping a righteous thought, practitioner A had an ordinary person's thought to blame the driver who hit her, would she have experienced those changes? Had she considered herself a patient in need of medication or bed-rest instead of holding herself to the standard of a practitioner, her situation might have turned out quite differently. Let's encourage each other with what Teacher said, “That kind of unwavering righteous thought comes from within you, and it is not superficial or just lip service.” (Fa Teaching Given at the 2010 New York Fa Conference)
