Falun Gong Practitioners Can All Write a Heroic Story about Themselves

Jan. 12, 2013 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China

(Minghui.org) I obtained the Fa in 1996. Under Master's compassionate guidance, I have cultivated in Dafa for 16 years.

In May of 1996, I returned home for school break and saw that my mother looked really healthy. This was a total change from a few months before when I left her after the Chinese New Year. At that time she was severely ill and had lost the ability to take care of herself.

I asked her what had caused the rapid change. She told me that she had started practicing Falun Gong. Within just a few months, my mother's health underwent a miraculous change. I saw a small badge and asked her, “What is that?” She said, “It is a Falun badge.” I have always listened to my mother. Seeing that she practiced cultivation, I wanted to join her. With this thought, I put on the Falun badge. From that day on, I decided to walk the path of cultivating in Dafa.

Master Gave Me a Second Life

On April 7, 2006, I went to the hospital for a routine prenatal checkup. The doctor told me that I had pregnancy hypertension (220 mmHg), and that I had to be hospitalized immediately, or my life would be at risk.

I recalled what Master said in Zhuan Falun:

“We have a practitioner who broke a few needles at a hospital. In the end, the liquid medicine squirted out, and the needle still would not penetrate. He came to understand: 'Oh, I’m a practitioner, and I shouldn’t have injections.' He just realized that he should not have an injection. Therefore, whenever you come across tribulations, be sure to pay attention to this issue.”

Because of sentimentality, my mother tried to soothe me, “Go to the hospital. The baby may come tomorrow.” My husband, a fellow practitioner, was also moved by sentimentality and said, “Take things as they come.”

As a practitioner, nothing is accidental. The key is whether or not we listen to Master at the critical moment. Driven by sentimentality and attachment, I lost my righteous thoughts and deemed myself an ordinary person. I went to the hospital. As a result, I brought myself a huge tribulation.

At about 4 a.m., I felt really nauseous and told my husband, “Ask the doctor to pull the needle out. I don't need it anymore.” I went into a coma shortly after that. According to my mother and husband, the doctor quickly arranged for a caesarean section, believing that I would come out of the coma after the baby was delivered. The baby was born, but the c-section caused massive internal bleeding, and I didn't wake up. My head swelled and I was transferred to another hospital.

At about 8 a.m., I was taken to the best hospital in town. My head was swelling so badly that it changed shape. According to the X-rays, I had intraventricular hemorrhage. At around 10 a.m., the doctors operated on me to remove blood from my brain. I was unconscious for six hours. After the surgery, the doctor asked my mother and husband to prepare for the worst, because there really was no cure for my condition. I was put in the intensive care unit (ICU).

While I was in the coma, subconsciously I knew that I was reciting Lunyu over and over and that I truly wanted to get out of the hospital. During this time, my mother and husband arranged for other practitioners to come to the hospital to study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts, and share with each other in looking inward. Reinforced by Master, I began sending righteous thoughts to negate the old forces' arrangement and to restrain and eliminate all the bad thoughts I had. After 18 days in a coma, the X-rays showed that the blood in my brain had diminished. The doctor removed the tube. We came to the understanding that I should be discharged from the hospital immediately. Strengthened by Master, I went home directly from the ICU, without taking any medicine. The hospital stay had lasted 20 days.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I felt a bit absent-minded, scared, and forgetful. My vision was abnormal. I couldn't see what was in front of me and could only see a bit of light on the sides. We enlightened that the old forces were trying to persecute me again by interfering with my Fa study. Then, I started to think of Master's Fa in “Drive Out Interference” (Essentials for Further Advancement II):

“The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts.”

My mother and I intensified our Fa study and were determined to negate the false illusion created by the old forces. Finally, the miracle came. In one month, I regained my vision and all the other abnormal conditions disappeared.

I called the director of the neurology department in the hospital and asked him what I should pay attention to if I wanted to wash my hair. He didn't believe it was me who was calling him and said: “Your family must have accumulated a lot of virtue. It's truly miraculous!” After I was discharged from the hospital, I didn't have any therapy or take any medicine. After five and a half months of maternity leave, I went back to work.

Saving Sentient Beings and Honoring My Vow

I am a manager in my company. I have contact with all levels within the company. I deeply understand that Master gave me a second life. I want everyone around me to know that Dafa is extraordinary and magnificent. After I returned to work, I started clarifying the facts to my colleagues and persuading them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I have worked in the company for 10 years. Because I have always used the standard of Dafa to conduct myself, I have a very good reputation at work. My colleagues use the word “righteous” to describe me. This has helped me build a firm foundation to clarify the facts to them. Before I asked my colleagues to quit the CCP, I always sent forth righteous thoughts to clear their dimensional fields. I have been able to help most of them quit the CCP.

When interacting with people in society, I also seize every opportunity to validate the Fa and save the sentient beings who have predestined relationships with me. For example, one day I was driving and my mind was wandering a bit. Suddenly I saw a curve in front of me. I quickly stepped on the brake. Then I heard “Bang!” The car behind me was hit by the car behind it. I kept driving and thinking to myself: “I caused the accident. Shouldn't I go back and take responsibility? How much money will I have to pay for the damage?” My thoughts struggled back and forth.

In Zhuan Falun, Master said:

“Thus, our practitioners should be like this even less so, as a practitioner should follow the course of nature. If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it.”

Master's words kept coming into my mind. I told myself: “Right! If it is meant for me to take the blame, then I will do it. I can also use this opportunity to clarify the facts to them and ask them to quit the CCP.” I turned around and went back to the scene. The driver of the car behind me recognized my plate number. Greatly surprised, he asked, “Why are you here?” I said, “I caused the accident. It has nothing to do with the car behind you. I will assume responsibility. What do you think I should do? I want to pay for the damages.” The driver shook his head is disbelief and said, “I have dealt with many different people in society for so many years, but I have never seen anyone as honest as you. This accident has nothing to do with you. Why are you so just and righteous? Do you follow a religion?” I said, “Yes, I am a Falun Gong practitioner.” He said, “Then Falun Gong is remarkable! Truly remarkable! But this accident has nothing to do with you. The car behind me tailgated. It is his responsibility. According to the traffic rules, tailgating is wrong. Go home!” I went up to the driver behind him and said, “Don't worry about it. I will pay for his damage.” The driver's wife said, “No, it's not your fault. We are responsible. This is our second accident today. The driver in front of us didn't ask us to pay for the damage.” I quickly clarified the facts to the three of them and helped them quit the CCP.

One day when I was taking a cab, I clarified the truth to the driver and told him about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation hoax and about Falun Gong being a Buddha school cultivation practice. I also told him that China is a divine land where everyone in the past believed in gods and heaven and that the CCP promotes lies, wickedness, and fighting, and it doesn't allow people to believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. “Because of this, the Chinese people's morality has declined rapidly. The heavens will destroy the evil CCP. Quitting the CCP is saving one's life.” The driver listened to me attentively and pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, “I won't drive right now. I want to hear what you have to say.” He quit the CCP after listening to the truth, and kept thanking me. He said, “When catastrophe comes, I will come to look for you.” I sincerely hope that he will have a good future.

Bathed in Master's compassion, I deeply feel that Master is always present by my side, looking after me and giving me hints to ensure I walk my path righteously. Master has arranged for people to come to me and let me honor my vow to save them. There are many people in my family who also cultivate in Dafa. My friends and relatives all know about this. Some of them even joke with me: “Every one of you Falun Gong practitioners can write a heroic story about him or herself!”

Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
