(Minghui.org) I have practiced Falun Dafa for 20 years. It has renewed my health and saved my life.
Getting Out of Bed
I used to be very ill. I had rheumatoid arthritis that had deformed my bones and joints. I stayed in bed all the time and needed two people to take care of me.
I was so miserable and depressed that I thought of suicide three times.
Everything changed when I got the book Zhuan Falun, the main teaching of Falun Dafa, in July 1998. I was 39.
I normally could not read books or the newspaper because I saw double images. But I could see every character in Zhuan Falun. I read two pages the first day. I was happy and decided that I should keep reading it.
I was the same as usual that day. My hand was so weak that I could not hold chopsticks, so I used my thumb and forefinger to pick up the food and put it in my mouth at dinner. After my husband washed my feet, I went to sleep.
The next morning, however, I was able to get out of bed by myself! Not only that, I boiled water and made breakfast. It was unimaginable before!
My whole family witnessed this miracle. We all sensed how great Dafa and Master were! That was when I started to cultivate.
Surviving a Car Accident
My husband and I were riding our electric bikes home on the afternoon of May 21, 2017, when a car crashed into me. My bike and I went airborne.
I felt like I was flying and my whole body was light. Then I heard someone shouting, “Car accident! She might be dead!”
“Did I die?” I asked myself. “No, I can't die and get someone into trouble. I practice Falun Dafa. I am Master's disciple. My master will protect me.”
Then I opened my eyes and saw the driver holding me, extremely worried. He offered to take me to the hospital.
I couldn't stand up. My whole body was shaking, but I was clear mentally. “I'm fine, don't worry, I don't need to go to the hospital,” I told him.
My husband also wanted me to go to the hospital. I told him that Master would protect me and that I just needed to go home.
My husband brought my bike over and the driver held me up, but I couldn't move my leg to get on. I asked my husband to hold me up and put me on the seat. Then we rode our bikes home.
Back home, I laid in bed. Then I couldn't move. I couldn't even move my hand to get my Dafa book. I started to recite Master's teachings that I could recall. When I got confused, I just kept repeating, “Falun Dafa is good.”
I remembered that Master said:
“Saying 'Dafa hao' is not only effective for ordinary people, but also for Dafa disciples since it clears away the bad things in the mind. When you have every cell in your body saying that Dafa is great, you will find that your entire body feels the reverberations. (Applause) It is the Fa that your mind is invoking, so that's why it is so powerful.) (“Teaching the Fa at the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York”)
I said it the whole day the next day. My husband was worried: “You should go to the hospital. If you delay treatment and become paralyzed, you'll drag me down for the rest of my life.”
“Don't worry. I will be fine. In three days.”
“I'd be happy if you recovered in three weeks,” he said. He had seen Dafa's miracles several times, so he didn't push me to go to the hospital.
On the third day, I realized that I should not just lay in bed. Master wouldn't want me to just be in bed. If he didn't want me to be there, I shouldn't, either.
Master said,
“My roots are planted in this universe, and so someone would have to be able to harm me in order to harm you, which means that they would have to have the power to harm this universe.” (“What Sets Falun Dafa Apart,” The First Talk, Zhuan Falun)
I asked my husband to help me get up. But I couldn't sit up straight – my hip bone was stabbing into my flesh. I used two pillows to hold me up, so that I could read the Dafa books and do the sitting exercise.
The next day I did the rest of the exercises while leaning against a cabinet.
I was able to walk a few days later.
On the twentieth day, I decided to go to our store to work. When I sat on my electric bike, I had great pain in my buttocks. I touched where it hurt and was scared: my hip bone was broken; I could even feel the broken bone moving inside my body.
I returned home. Then I said to myself, “This is not the truth. It is an illusion. I am Master Li Hongzhi's disciple. My bones are not broken. Only my master will arrange my life. I don't accept any other arrangement.”
I decided that I did not need the help of a pillow to read my Dafa books and do the sitting exercise. But it did hurt. I ignored the pain and just focused on the Fa.
I reminded myself that Master told us,
“The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts.” (“Drive Out Interference,” Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I pushed the electric bike to a repair shop the next day. The owner asked me, “How did you get the bike home after the accident?”
“I rode it.”
“Are you telling a fairy tale? The bike was too damaged. How could you have ridden it?”
I told her that was what really happened and it wasn't a fairy tale. I rode the bike to my store after it was fixed. I was fine!
