(Minghui.org) Two Falun Dafa practitioners overcame sickness karma and serious injury because of their firm faith in Master and Dafa.
Practitioner A started practicing Dafa in 2008 and is a former lay Buddhist. Practitioner B is a veteran practitioner who began practicing Dafa in 1994.
They both know that cultivation is a very serious matter and the remaining old forces would take advantage of any loopholes and interfere with practitioners. However, they will not forget that as long as they keep strong faith in Master, they will be able to pass every tribulation and test.
Practitioner A said that in 2008, a practitioner told her the facts about Dafa, the persecution and the quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and it affiliates movement. She quit the CCP's Communist Youth League of China. She stopped going to the Fushan Temple and started to practice Falun Dafa.
Within a short time, her health problems disappeared, which was witnessed by her relatives and friends.
However, as time went by, she slacked off in studying the Fa, and failed to conduct herself as a practitioner when encountering problems.
“I returned to an everyday person's life and my loopholes were taken advantage of by the old forces. I started to show diabetes symptoms, began to vomit blood and could not see clearly. Instead of remembering that I was a practitioner and should look within, I went to a hospital for treatment,” she said.
A fellow practitioner advised her to discharge herself from the hospital. That's when she remembered Master's Fa,
Master said:
“You’re a practitioner, so if you always think it’s a health problem you’re actually asking for it—you are asking for that problem, and now it’s able to set in … One of our students went to the hospital and had several syringe needles bend on him, and the last vial even squirted out, but the needle still couldn’t go in. Then he caught on, “Wait, I’m a cultivator! I don’t want any more injections.”” (Zhuan Falun)
She decided to check herself out of the hospital. On her return home, she studied the Fa and did the exercises. She also overcame her attachment to fear and anxiety. She shared with fellow practitioners where she had fallen short in her cultivation and how the old forces had taken advantage of her loopholes.
With the help of fellow practitioners, she studied the Fa diligently, maintained strong righteous thoughts and talked to people about Dafa.
“One night, when I was half asleep, I saw that Master cleansed my body. I shouted, 'Master! Master!' My daughter heard me shout and woke me up. She thought I had a dream. However I know that it wasn't a dream. I knew Master hadn't given up on me.”
She slept well that night. Then, she heard the Dafa exercise music in her sleep, woke up and saw that it was 4:00 am. She realized that Master was reminding her to do the exercises.
With firm faith in Master and Dafa and a determined heart to cultivate solidly, Practitioner A soon regained her health.
She said that she had changed, her heart had changed and everything around her had changed.
“I feel I'm no longer an everyday person and I know in my heart that I must be diligent on my cultivation path,” she told fellow practitioners.
Details of her story in Chinese language
Practitioner B is 78 years old, and a practitioner since May 1994. Before practicing Dafa, she was diagnosed with occupational mercury poisoning and other illnesses. All of her health problems disappeared after she cultivated in Dafa.
She decided to clean the ceiling in November 2013 and stood on two stools, with one on top of the other. She fell and badly injured her left wrist.
This injury did not deter her from going to group Fa study on the fifth day. She did not acknowledge the old forces' interference and ignored the injury. However, the palm and the back of her left hand turned dark purple and the swelling of her hand worsened.
Her daughters insisted that she go to the hospital after seven days. The x-ray showed that the tip of her left forearm bone was smashed; her left ulna had a fracture and the wrist was out of joint.
The doctor insisted that she have surgery after the swelling went down. Her children also tried to persuade her to seek treatment.
She refused and said to her children that she would be fine after reading the Fa and doing the Dafa exercises. She asked them to remember how she had benefited from Dafa. She convinced them that she did not need the hospital.
She looked within and found her loopholes.
“When I studied the Fa, my mind was not focused. I failed to cultivate diligently, made allowances for my age and sought comfort,” she said.
Besides that, “I also had an attachment to fear, especially when it comes to clarifying the facts about Dafa to people face-to-face. Not only that, I'm also attached to human sentiment, which I need to let go.”
She began to study the Fa more diligently. Fellow practitioners also supported her by sending righteous thoughts together to eliminate evil elements in other dimensions.
“It was very hard and very painful to move my hand and fingers, even if just a little, so my movements were not that accurate. When the pain became unbearable, I recited “When it's difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it's impossible to do, you can do it.” (Zhuan Falun)
Her wrist injury and the bone fractures had disappeared after one month.
“I know for certain that as long as we have 100% faith in Master and in Dafa, we can make it through any tribulation. This is the power of Dafa and the mighty virtue of our revered Master,” she said.
