(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1995, and my husband is also a practitioner. Since 2000, we’ve rented a second home to avoid constant harassment and persecution. Even though the environment was frightening, Dafa practitioners have never stopped walking on the path of saving people.
Doctor: “You Are Really an Immortal”
At three o’clock one morning, I went to a residential building to distribute truth clarification brochures. I started from the top floor, distributing brochures floor by floor. I wasn’t careful enough and fell down the stairs. (I learned later that I had fractured a bone).
I didn’t think anything about it after I fell. I just got up and kept doing what I was supposed to do. After I finished distributing all the brochures and returned home, I saw that my left ankle and calf were black and blue, severely swollen, and oozing a yellow, watery fluid. After a few days, it stopped oozing, and the swelling disappeared. The bruised skin turned light yellow and then was back to normal.
When I looked inward, I knew it was not accidental that I had such a bad fall. I thought there must be a loophole that the old forces took advantage of. I kept looking within and was surprised to discover that I had an attachment of fear every time I went out to clarify the truth. I was afraid of being arrested, and I worried about not being able to reach enlightenment if I didn’t go out to clarify the truth.
Dafa practitioners were saving sentient beings, while I was thinking about myself. What a selfish heart! Then I studied the Fa more and sent righteous thoughts. I confessed my mistake to Master Li and promised to do well the next time. Because I couldn’t sit in the full lotus position with both legs crossed, I just did the second exercise (Falun Standing Stance) by standing on one foot.
One week after I fell, my brother came to visit me and asked my husband to take me to the hospital to get looked at. Since my brother doesn’t practice Falun Dafa, we didn’t want him to misunderstand us and believe the rumors on TV that we would refuse to go to the hospital if we were sick or injured.
At the same time, I wanted my brother to witness how extraordinary Dafa is. So the three of us went to the hospital. The orthopedist who examined me seemed kind of confused because I was in good spirits and free of pain. The X-ray showed that the left lateral malleolus was fractured, but that it had healed very well.
There's an old saying, “It takes a hundred days for a bone to knit and tendons to heal.” But it only took me one week to recover so well. The doctor asked what kind of medicine I used or injections I got. When he learned I used nothing and slept without any pain, he was shocked and mumbled to himself, “I have never seen anyone like this. It’s a miracle. You are really an immortal!”
During this time, I did not stay home from work. My husband drove me, and I walked back and forth in the workshop of the textile factory every day to inspect and maintain the machines. It really was a miracle! If a regular person had fractured a bone, he would have been bedridden and in a lot of pain.
For example, one of my co-workers broke a bone, and he had to stay home for three months. Seeing how quickly I healed, my co-workers witnessed how extraordinary Dafa is, and many of them quit the Chinese Community Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. My brother also witnessed the miraculous nature of Dafa and quit the Youth League.
Now I can sit in the full lotus position for two or three hours, or sometimes for four to five hours during our group Fa study.
Strengthening Righteous Thoughts to Eliminate a Tribulation
I bought a new house in May 2016 and started remodeling it in August. I was in charge of everything, from buying the furniture to the appliances. I didn’t ask my husband to get involved, because I was very strong-willed and influenced by the Party culture.
I pursued perfection and felt I couldn’t trust my husband. Since I had to buy material at the market every day, my time was mostly occupied with the remodeling, so I slacked off in cultivation. My husband often reminded me not to spend too much time on it and not to forget about our mission. I retorted by complaining that he was not capable of doing the work and that’s why I was so tired.
I didn’t heed my husband’s advice and ended up being interfered with. In the middle of August, I started to have diarrhea and lower abdominal pain. It ended up taking an additional month and a half to finish the remodeling.
After we moved into the new house in November, I started to have blood in my stool. I lost more than 10 pounds, my face was pale, and I was exhausted. I couldn't eat; even eating a dumpling was difficult. I also couldn’t fall asleep due to the pain. The old forces would not easily let go of me once they took advantage of my loopholes. Negative thoughts flooded my mind one after another, including that I was dying, that my remodeling was in vain, and that I wouldn't have a chance to enjoy it. I was very depressed.
At this time, one of my fellow practitioners came to visit me and told me about his experience in overcoming sickness karma with righteous thoughts and righteous actions. I was awakened by what he said, and said to myself, “I am also Master’s disciple. Why can’t I do this if my fellow practitioner can do it?” The evil factors had taken advantage of my loopholes. Master arranged a path to consummation (enlightenment) for every disciple. And it’s up to us to follow his arrangements.
I knelt in front of Master’s picture and confessed that I was wrong and had slacked off in my mission when I was busy with everyday affairs. From that point on, I vowed to be more diligent in cultivation, that I would quickly catch up like a true cultivator and not regard sickness karma as a burden. I attended group Fa study and focused on sending righteous thoughts for fellow practitioners.
I totally recovered by May 2017. I have now gotten rid of my fear and can clarify the truth face to face wherever I go. Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
