"Mei" only began to practice Falun Dafa practitioner recently. Her aunt had told her about it in the past, and she read Zhuan Falun, the main book of the practice, and understood that it told people how to be good. But she did not start to practice it until she was saved from drowning.
She was teaching another woman how to swim in a public swimming pool. After practicing in the shallow end for a while, her pupil decided that she was ready to try on her own.
A few minutes later when Mei checked on the woman, she saw her struggling in deep water and signaling that she needed help.
When Mei reached her, the woman panicked and grabbed Mei so tightly that she could not swim.
All of sudden Mei remembered Dafa and called out to the founder of the practice, whom practitioners call "Master," to save her. She felt the woman loosen her grip, allowing Mei to swim to the surface and tow her pupil to safety.
Mei told me that Master Li Hongzhi had saved her, that she was convinced that the practice was good, and that she was ready to start cultivating.
When my mother was 88 years old we experienced the power of Dafa.
I was cooking in the kitchen when I heard a loud "thump" in the other room. I ran in and saw my mother lying on the floor, unable to move or speak.
Mother was too heavy for me to lift, and I didn't know how to help her. Then I remembered Dafa. I asked her to sincerely recite with me, "Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."
After we had recited these words for a little while, Mother's voice became stronger, but she could not get up. We recited the words a few more times, and she could stand up, but had to hold on to me. However, she was not injured.
She told the entire family about what had happened. They made her go to the hospital for a check-up, but there were no signs of injury or fractures, which surprised the doctor.
My neighbor, who is in her 90s, only likes to visit one of her neighbors--me--because she thinks that I am trustworthy. Sometimes I read the Falun Dafa books to her when she visits. She wants me to read while she makes herself comfortable.
She says that, whenever she comes to my home, she feels better. I told her, “Practicing Dafa not only benefits oneself, but also those near practitioners. Why don't you practice it?” She replied, “Your practice has already benefited me.”
From this story, I realized what Master saysis so true:
“We teach salvation of both ourselves and others, as well as of all beings. Thus, Falun can save oneself by turning inward and save others by turning outward. While turning outward, it gives off energy and can benefit others. This way, within your energy-covering field others will benefit, and they may feel very comfortable. Whether you are on the street walking, in the workplace, or at home, you can have this effect on others. People within your field may unintentionally have their illnesses healed since this field can rectify all abnormal conditions.” (Zhuan Falun)
