(Minghui.org) I would like to share some amazing experiences during my time practicing Falun Dafa and how my family also benefited from the practice. Notably, my illnesses disappeared, and my children were safe after being involved in accidents.
I was in my 30s in the spring of 1998. At that point in my life, I felt a sense of desperation. I then found Falun Dafa.
Because I was bedridden, I was looking for any cure. I could hardly open my eyes due to severe headaches. I had severe problems with my cervical vertebra and had Meniere's disease. I sought help at major hospitals, but it was fruitless. The final prognosis was eventual paralysis.
My two children were young, and I had huge debts to pay for the construction of our home. I did not know what to do.
However, I knew that my mother's rheumatoid arthritis disappeared after she started practicing Falun Dafa. After seeing my condition, she said, “You don't have any other alternative. Only Falun Dafa and Master can help you.”
It was under these circumstances, when my life had hit a dead end, that I asked for a copy of Zhuan Falun. I immediately followed the teachings. I practiced the exercises, improved my xinxing, did not strike back when cursed or hit, became considerate of others, and worked hard to become a better person.
Master purified my body after I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises for a little over a month. I remember one time I spit up large quantities of a black liquid after I finished doing the exercises. My illnesses disappeared after that. I have not taken any medicine now for 16 years. Words cannot describe how wonderful it has been.
My belief in Master and Falun Dafa became even stronger. I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises. I always looked within when I encountered problems and was considerate of others in all situations.
In the past my family was afraid to offend me because I had a bad temper. What I said was the only thing that counted. But then, I no longer swore or abused my husband, got angry, or talked back. I found myself doing all the housework with no complaint.
My husband has come to believe in Falun Dafa after seeing how much I changed. For many years he had an illness that forced him to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. This problem has disappeared, and he credits Falun Dafa with the cure.
My daughter was driving an electric car through an intersection when a woman ran a red light and hit her. The witnesses found it inconceivable that my daughter was not hurt by such a forceful impact.
However, the woman accused my daughter of hitting her, but a street fruit vendor provided evidence to the contrary. I did not lower myself to her level, and I kept in mind that I was a practitioner. I knew that it was important to be considerate of others when encountering problems, that nothing was by accident, and that I had a predestined relationship with this woman.
The woman went to the hospital and claimed that she was hurt. She extorted 1,800 yuan from me (which is a common practice in China). I said that I could give her the money she demanded, but I asked her to think about whether or not her actions were right.
The people who saw the accident seemed to feel indignant and did not think that this was fair, but I felt very peaceful inside. I knew that if I had not practiced Falun Dafa, I would not have handled it this way. My daughter said, “Mom, you were amazing. You stayed calm and didn't get into an argument.”
I knew the principle that good is rewarded and evil is punished, and I felt that this was the reason why my daughter didn't get hurt. I believed that she was protected by Master and received blessings because I practiced Falun Dafa.
My family visited the graves of our ancestors on the morning of the 2009 Chinese New Year's Eve, as is Chinese tradition. However, our son was hit by an electric pedicab on our way home and thrown quite a distance. The pedicab even rolled over him.
Those who witnessed the accident were stupefied, but nothing happened to our son. The driver and the people in the pedicab wanted to take him to the hospital. I said that there was not a problem because we practiced Falun Dafa. My son later told me that Master lifted the pedicab and prevented it from hurting him. So, it was Master who saved him.
Many similar things have occurred in my family. Recently, my son was hit by a motorcycle when he was riding his bicycle home from school. Bystanders thought that he might be dead, but he was perfectly fine. The motorcyclist broke five ribs.
My family believes in Falun Dafa, and we have a harmonious, safe, and joyful family life. We have been blessed by the Buddha's light and all are very grateful to Master for his great benevolence.
