(Minghui.org) In the past I was rather “unlucky,” and twice almost died of illness. I had hepatitis B for more than 20 years, and it developed into cirrhosis. I was diagnosed with early stage liver cancer in 1991. In 1993 I had a stomach hemorrhage and lost consciousness multiple times. The doctors did not think I would live.
It was even worse for my wife. She was confined to bed due to illness for 28 years. We tried many hospitals, and even tried different types of qigong, but nothing helped. Among our family of seven, five of us had liver diseases. Our family was miserable.
Blessings came knocking at our door in 2002, when I was 55 years old. Both my wife and I learned Falun Gong, and our third daughter gave birth to a boy. Our family suddenly became full of vitality.
Master Protected My Grandson
When my grandson had just learned to walk, one day a 4-year-old girl pushed him into a ditch full of running water. After searching for a long time we finally found him. His head was against the wall of the ditch, and water was running against his chest.
My daughter picked him up out of the water. People around were all very surprised. How was this young child able to stand in rushing water over a meter deep? How did he land next to the wall? And with his back against it? It was as if someone had been holding him there. The people who knew the truth all said, "Falun Dafa brought their family good luck!"
When my grandson was eight years old, he climbed up to a window in an abandoned classroom, and the window fell in. People nearby heard a loud sound and ran out. They saw the boy fall down and bounce two meters away. Protected by Master, he was not hurt at all.
When another grandson of mine was three he was dragged by a pedicab cart. The wheel was right next to the boy's back. Everyone around was frightened. As I clutched him in my arms, tears rolled down my face when I saw that he was unharmed.
The driver was so frightened that he knelt down and started to kowtow. I pulled him up and told him that the Master of Falun Dafa had saved us.
80-Year-Old Mother Unhurt after Being Hit by a Motorcycle
My mother is 87 years old. She was paralyzed and bedridden for six months in 1996. She later had to use crutches to get around. After she began practicing Falun Gong with us, she was able to walk on her own again without a cane.
My mother was hit by a speeding motorcycle one day. She was thrown two meters away and lost consciousness. Holding my mother's hand, my youngest daughter was sobbing. People passing by said, "Quickly, hurry to a hospital!"
After awhile, my mother opened her eyes. She said, "Don't cry. I am all right. Falun Dafa is good and my Master is protecting me. I will be fine." She then slowly stood up.
The frightened driver helped my mother home. He was so scared that he could not speak. After my daughter told me what had happened, I was shocked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. I comforted the driver, "It's OK. My mother practices Falun Gong. Otherwise, today would have been a disaster! Don't worry, we won't give you any trouble."
The driver thanked us again and again. He tried to insist on leaving us some money, but we refused. My mother soon recovered fully.
My mother was hit by another motorcycle from behind. Both the bike and the driver landed on top of her. The driver was crying. My mother went on comforting him, "Don't cry, I am not hurt."
The driver got up, moved the motorbike away to free my mother, and asked her, "Where are you hurt? Should we go to a hospital?" My mother replied, "I'm fine. Falun Dafa is good and my Master is protecting me."
She later returned home covered in dirt. She smiled and told us what had happened.
Blessed by Dafa
I have followed the principles of Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person since I began practicing Falun Dafa.
Educated in Dafa, my third daughter is a very nice woman with two lovely sons. Both my two youngest daughters graduated from universities and work in an import and export trading company.
My son-in-law fell from a high place one day while doing construction work. The person who fell with him suffered a spinal injury and had to be treated for six months. My son-in-law wasn't hurt at all. He said, "When I was falling, I felt someone pull me so that I landed on the ground without a strong impact. Falun Gong's Master protected me!"
Since we began practicing Falun Gong, our family has gotten along well with our neighbors. A neighbor who used to be an enemy for more than a decade became our friend. Conflicts among brothers and sisters-in-law also disappeared.
We are not rich, but we often help out families having difficulties, or seniors who live alone. When someone paid us too much accidentally we returned the money. If we see money or something that is lost, we look for the owners and return the item. When conflicts occur, we don't fight or argue. We educate our children to remember "Suffering is a blessing." We witnessed, "The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities." (Lecture Six from Zhuan Falun)
We own a half square kilometer of land. In addition to providing food for ourselves, every year we sell a thousand kilograms of grain, a hundred kilograms of beans and sesame, 500 kilograms of cotton, and more than 5000 kilograms of fruits and vegetables.
There are all sorts of people who come to buy our vegetables. In general I do not argue with those who take advantage of me. I accept it and consider them minor losses. Sometimes some people pay and leave without taking the goods, and I always run after them and make sure they get their goods.
During melon season, many people like to buy my melons, since they know that I practice Falun Gong and I have a kind heart. When I pull a full cart of melons along the street, dozens of people come. They put the melons they chose in bags. I could not tend to so many customers at once, so some of them find scales and weigh the melons themselves. I trust them and collect the money according to the weight they claim.
There have been so many stories during more than ten years of my cultivation. Under the mercy of Buddha I have been improving myself and correcting my shortcomings. If you want to change, you must change from your heart.
