With Master's Benevolence, I've Pulled Through One Challenge After Another

Feb. 10, 2014 |   By a practitioner in Henan Province, China

(Minghui.org) I'm 47 years old and started practicing Falun Dafa in 1999. I've experienced many things that show how miraculous Dafa is. Here, I'll share just a few of the many incidents.

Heart Disease Disappears

Before practicing Falun Dafa, I had numerous illnesses. My back and legs hurt; I had hyperplasia, gynecological diseases, and heart disease. My heart disease rendered me unable to walk; even doing the laundry was extremely difficult. Both Chinese and Western medicines were ineffective.

After practicing Falun Dafa for less than two months, all of my illnesses were gone. Only heart disease remained. In the beginning, I was panicky. After reading the Fa numerous times, however, I understood more principles.

Master said:

“... if you can’t set aside those thoughts of yours, if you can’t set aside that health problem, then there’s nothing we can do and we can’t help you.” (Zhuan Falun)

“Don’t always be afraid that it’s a health problem. Fearing that it’s a health problem is an attachment in itself, and it can bring you trouble just the same.” (Zhuan Falun)

I decided that I would always remember Master's words, would not place my illnesses as first priority and would just focus on improving as a cultivator.

Half a year later, I was working part-time at a wine factory. One day, I was carrying a basket of wine bottles to be washed and didn't notice the pipe on the ground. My colleagues heard a heavy crash as I fell. They came over and wanted to help me up, but I motioned for them to stop.

I could feel that my heart suffered severe damage during the fall. However, I slowly got up, dusted myself off and resumed working. My colleagues asked me if I was OK. I replied, “My heart was bad, but Master just replaced it.” From then on, my heart disease was gone. I truly experienced Master's benevolence.

Staying on the Right Track

On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Dafa. Local practitioners and I went to Beijing in 2000 to clarify the truth about the practice to oppose the persecution. We were arrested and put in jail run by the {610 Office}}.

I didn't follow the jail rules. I still did Dafa exercises and recited the Fa. During the interrogation, I told the police the facts about Dafa. One officer asked me if I still practiced or not. I said: “This is such a wonderful Fa! Even if no one else practices it, I sure will!”

On the last day, the 610 Office sent over a group of national police. They said, “If you don't write the guarantee statement, you cannot return home.” Many relatives of the detained practitioners were waiting outside. Some fellow practitioners failed the test and wrote the statement to renounce their belief, but I didn't.

I saw my husband and mother waiting for me, but I still didn't write the statement. I carried my blanket and started walking. Suddenly, a police officer said: “You didn't write it this time? Write it next time!” I knew this was Master giving me a chance to escape. I turned around and walked out, saying, “There won't be a next time!” Under Master's guidance, I thus escaped after 22 days of illegal detention.

On the night I was freed, my husband told me about the hardships the family had gone through. He was afraid I would be arrested again. He told me, “Let's take a break and find a job and then study the Fa.” I didn't reply. I saw how skinny he was. He was only 30 years old, but looked like a senior. We had no money. He had borrowed 3,000 yuan to get me released. There were five of us, and the three kids needed to go to school.

I thought, “How can we live like this?” The emotional pressure was too high, and my human side began to show. I said to Master in my heart: “Master! Dafa is too great, and I would never forgive myself if I stopped practicing. But at this rate, I can't last for long...” With that thought, I felt a gust of wind blowing toward me. Then it felt like I went into a dream.

I didn't know if it was a dream or reality: Absentmindedly, I was carrying a bucket and walking forward. I heard someone call my name. It was my deceased aunt. I only heard her voice, but didn't see her. The road came to an end; there were two ways to go from there. I heard her ask me where I would go. I told her that wherever Master wanted me to go, I'd go in that direction. I peeked at both directions and noticed that the road I'd just walked on seemed covered with water. After the water got pushed back, the remainder of the road was covered with mud. I chose to go west. As I walked on the road, it became more narrow. It felt like I was walking on a knife's handle, and I was surrounded by a river. At this time, the bucket in my hand turned into a knife. I used it to climb my way along the road. I was so close to the widened road, I only had to take one step. I counted to 48, and then my right leg slipped and I fell.

I awakened from the shock. I cried and said, “Master! I'm sorry!” I realized that I hadn't behaved like a cultivator. I appreciated Master guiding me back to the right path.

I told my husband about this dream. I told him that I could not stop cultivating, or else this once-in-a-millennia chance would be lost. I knew that I must listen to Master and “steadfastly cultivate Dafa, the will unflinching” (“True Nature Revealed” in Essentials for Further Advancement II), while at the same time helping my husband.

With the Fa and Master's guidance, there's nothing that can harm me. I told fellow practitioners about my experience and urged them to also hurry and cultivate better, as well as to clarify the truth about Dafa to more people.

Saved From a Crisis

In 2008, the CCP persecuted Falun Gong especially severely in our area. One September night, around 6 p.m., my daughter called me at work and said that there were people in our house. I rushed home and saw three 610 Office agents waiting for me. They said that they needed to search my house for “official business.” I knew there was evil behind them.

I reminded myself of Master's words,

“No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil’s demands, orders, or what it instigates.” (“Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful” in Essentials for Further Advancement II)

I said: “This is my home, and I will not allow this kind of act! Who dares to do this?” They saw that I was not willing to cooperate. They pulled out a document and ordered me to sign it. I said that I was illiterate and tore up the paper.

I told them how Falun Dafa had cured me of all my chronic illnesses, including heart disease. I also told them: “I am a Dafa practitioner. Confiscating my Dafa books would mean the same as stealing a person's ID. Please, you need to understand.”

They did not listen and proceeded to look for “evidence.” The team leader stormed into my bedroom and took the copy of Zhuan Falun from my dresser. I followed him and snatched the book back.

I shouted, “Hurry! Come here! My house is being ransacked by barbarians!” The leader grabbed my hair and told his two other agents, “Carry her to the car,” while also giving orders to confiscate my computer and satellite TV. He also threatened to call for reinforcement.

I remembered Master's words:

“Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful” (Essentials for Further Advancement II)

“If the wicked policemen and the bad people can’t be dissuaded and persist in doing evil, you can stop them with righteous thoughts.” (“Stop the Evil Acts with Righteous Thoughts” in The Essentials of Diligent Progress, Vol. III)

I told the agents grabbing the stuff, “If you guys don't care about retribution, then by all means, go ahead.” I also said to the person calling for reinforcement, “Go ahead, your cell phone won't work!” Alas, it really didn't work.

They pushed me to the entrance of the car. I kept shouting for help and asking Master for guidance. I pushed the car door with my legs and closed it. Then I sat down on the ground and shouted, “Master, help me!” I saw the leader backing away as if he had been electrocuted.

At this time, my neighbors came to the rescue. They surrounded the police cars and questioned the police: “What's going on? She earns an honest living. You police are not protecting us; you're harming us!” I added: “Falun Dafa is the Buddha Fa. We cultivate because we want a healthy body. If you interfere, you will be damned for all eternity!” As I spoke, I slowly backed up toward my house and slammed the door, locking it. The police couldn't do anything and left in a hurry.

During my journey to oppose the persecution of Falun Dafa, I've met with danger many times. However, I've never been caught, thanks to Master!
