(Minghui.org) Greetings, Master. Greetings, fellow practitioners.
I am a 62-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner. Due to severe illness, I started cultivation practice 19 years ago on September 18, 1998. Not only did Dafa save my life, but it also bestowed me with endless energy and happiness.
Below, I would like to share some of my cultivation experiences.
Returning to Work in Order to Save Sentient Beings
After retiring from work in 2005, I worked part-time at a private hospital until 2013. At that time, I resolved to focus my efforts on saving sentient beings. Although I spent a lot of time clarifying the truth to people outside, my efforts yielded little results. I was only able to save a small number of people.
These disheartening results led me to wonder if the opportunities presented in my original line of work created a better environment to save sentient beings. At this juncture, another practitioner told me of a private hospital that was in urgent need of an Obstetrics and Gynecological specialist. Though this was not quite within my area of expertise, I was determined to learn as much as I could and save sentient beings at the same time.
With this in mind, I went for the interview with the head of the department. Another practitioner had previously clarified the truth to him, so I was able to inform him upfront that, as a Falun Dafa practitioner, I could not perform abortions. As the department head was in urgent need of medical doctors, he agreed to my conditions, and I started working at the small private hospital.
Clarifying the Truth and Witnessing Miracles
In August 2014, I treated a 42-year-old female patient who was undergoing her fourth pregnancy, this one after three miscarriages. About 34 weeks into her pregnancy, doctors started noticing elevated blood pressure, fetal heart rate irregularities, and uterine fibroids. By week 36, her condition had deteriorated to the point that neither of the two hospitals she consulted with were willing to accept her as a patient. The couple had no choice but to stay at the hospital where I worked. Upon admittance, doctors recommended an immediate caesarian operation due to the critical condition of both mother and child.
I was then put in charge of rescuing the newborn. As soon as I received the ailing, unresponsive child, I bent over and spoke into the newborn's ear, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I then proceeded to administer emergency treatment.
As the newborn child’s condition remained critical in spite of our treatment, the hospital decided to send the child to a larger, better-equipped hospital. Two ambulance drivers, another doctor, and I accompanied the child and his father. Previously, I had attempted to clarify the truth to the child’s father; however, he was not very receptive. After boarding the ambulance, I shared my thoughts with him. “Your child is in critical condition,” I said. “Now, only Dafa can save him. If you want to save your child, shout together with me, ‘Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!’”
Desperate to save his son’s life, the father quickly followed my advice and began shouting, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
I reassured the child’s father that Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, would save the child. At this moment, we saw the newborn’s tiny mouth opening and closing. In response, his father quickly shouted out again, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
We spent the rest of the journey shouting those wonderful words. Mid-journey, the rising sun shone through the window and fell onto the child’s face. Unexpectedly, the infant responded by squeezing his eyes tightly closed. Further encouraged, we continued to shout for the rest of the trip to the larger hospital. When the receiving medical staff at the hospital lifted the newborn onto the bed, the child let out his first loud wail. Master had saved the newborn and convinced his father of the goodness of Dafa!
The father then sincerely promised me that he would convey the truth behind the persecution of Dafa to his family. I also advised him to continue reciting the life-saving phrase for the duration of his child’s hospitalization.
Today, the infant is a happy, healthy three-year-old toddler.
I returned to work and told my colleagues about the experience. The unit head was amazed and commented, “To be able to carry that child alive out of our operating room was already a miracle in itself!” My amazed colleagues thus witnessed the miraculous nature of Dafa.
“I Want to Quit the CCP!”
Eight years ago, I clarified the truth to the daughter of a former colleague and successfully persuaded her to quit the Young Pioneers and the Communist Youth League, two youth organizations of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Because she was suffering from a difficult pregnancy, she came to seek my help. Besides maternal hypothyroidism, the fetal cord had wound itself around the baby’s neck, and the baby’s head remained in a high position. The daughter expressed her wish not to undergo a cesarean section. As such, I clarified the truth to my former colleague, her daughter, and the other family members before asking them to recite, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Suddenly the daughter shouted, “I want to quit the Party!” Taken aback, I asked her, “Didn’t you already quit a while back?” She then explained that she joined the Party during the eight years since quitting the two youth organizations. Now that she knew this was wrong, she was eager to quit.
The following day, an examination verified that the umbilical cord was no longer wrapped around her baby’s neck. I entered the delivery room and urged everyone present to continue reciting, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” On examination, we noted the fetus’s head remained high; the fetus was wrongly positioned and the fetal heart rate was rather low. Faced with this situation, even our experienced department head hesitantly whispered to me, “Will this work?” I remained silent, but silently recited in my mind: “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I proceeded to straighten the baby’s head, and the child was smoothly delivered.
Afterward, my colleague told me, “When I saw how hesitant the department head was, I nearly went mad with worry. I could only hope for the best and recite, 'Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' I nearly cried in relief when the birth went smoothly.”
“Now I Truly Believe in It”
One of the nurses who works at our hospital was having her baby there. When I previously clarified the truth to her, she simply replied that other Dafa practitioners had already persuaded her to withdraw from the CCP and that she was not opposed to Falun Dafa.
During the delivery of her baby a few days ago, she had an emergency situation: The doctors discovered that her baby was not in the right birthing position, and the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby’s neck. The baby was also suffering from a slow heart rate, while his mother had uterine inertia. At this critical moment, I advised her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She agreed, and within a few minutes, the baby’s heart rate returned to normal. I encouraged her to continue reciting, while I shifted the baby’s head. Soon after, her son was successfully delivered.
Afterward, the nurse told me, “Originally, I had neutral feelings toward Falun Dafa. This miracle has convinced me of its goodness!”
Having witnessed this miracle with her, her family members were similarly convinced of the power of Dafa.
Convincing My Colleagues of the Goodness of Falun Dafa
During my first few months at the hospital, I was assigned a patient who suffered from cervical erosion. I clarified the truth to her and her family, and the patient eventually underwent an operation done by our surgical expert. However, the patient later became unsatisfied with her treatment and submitted a complaint to the Ministry of Health, reporting the presence of a Falun Dafa practitioner.
A director from the Ministry of Health subsequently spoke to the hospital chief, who then discussed my situation with the head of the department. The department head then sought me out for a discussion. Having learned of the situation, I spoke frankly with him. “If my continued presence is causing difficulties for you, I can leave immediately,” I said.
The department head assured me that his position would remain unaffected and asked if this situation would create difficulties for me. I assured him it would not.
Soon after, our hospital was rocked by news of a newborn’s death soon after a cesarean operation. I happened to be off duty on the day of the incident. The following day, the grieving family demanded compensation from the hospital for the death of the child. Just then, the orderlies cleaning up the operating room dropped by to ask if they should dispose of the placenta.
Out of curiosity, I went with them to inspect the placenta. Upon checking it, I found a knot in the umbilical cord. The resulting insufficient blood flow to the fetus would have caused developmental issues and congenital abnormalities. I alerted my department head, who swiftly reported this finding to the hospital management. The placenta was shown to the grieving family and Health Ministry officials present, and the family proceeded to withdraw their suit against the hospital.
I knew that Master had arranged this incident in order to demonstrate the rewards that the department head had reaped for kindly supporting a Dafa practitioner. I held up this case as an example and took the opportunity to further clarify the truth to my colleagues, telling them of the blessings one can expect from treating and viewing Falun Dafa positively. A fellow colleague immediately said aloud, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
I started working at the hospital with the intent to save sentient beings. Over the past three years, I have fulfilled my goal and managed to save many sentient beings. Throughout my time here, Master has been protecting me while arranging for those with predestined relationships to visit. I continue to cherish this opportunity and will continue my truth clarification work with my heart.
