(Minghui.org) I am a retired teacher in my early 70s. I was fortunate to attend the nine-day Falun Dafa classes held in August 1995 in Changchun. I felt inspired by Master Li Hongzhi’s lectures. Master answered all the questions I had about life, so I decided to practice Falun Dafa.
After I started to practice I had many amazing experiences. I had serious illness symptoms a few times, but they quickly disappeared.
One morning in 2007 the left side of my abdomen started to hurt. The pain got worse, and my hands went numb. I refused to acknowledge the illness symptoms as I made it to my bed. Even though the pain made it difficult for me to either lie down or sit up straight, I crossed my legs, held up my right palm, and sent righteous thoughts. It was difficult to breathe but I was firm and asked Master for help. However, before long I doubled over in pain.
I started vomiting and went back and forth between the bathroom and the bed. When I finally returned to bed, I knelt down and said as loudly as I could “Dear Master, please save me. I can’t take it!” I heard a humming sound, looked around, and sensed that the sound came from the painful area on the left side of my abdomen. There were seven or eight sounds after the first, which gradually subsided. Then I fell asleep.
I woke up at midnight, the time to send righteous thoughts around the world. I was able to sit up and send righteous thoughts. I knew Master once again saved my life by eliminating the persecution and old forces’ interference. I am grateful for Master’s salvation, which words can’t describe.
Similar symptoms appeared again the next morning. At first I said casually, “Oh, here it is again.” My notions and fear surfaced again. However, I knew that Master would take care of me as long as I held righteous thoughts. It took three hours before I returned to normal. My second realization was that no matter what the circumstances, I must believe in Master and the Fa.
It was just like Master said,
“...When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide”(“The Master-Disciple Bond,” Hong Yin II)
One day when I went to a market and clarified the truth about Dafa. I suddenly had intense pain in my stomach. Realizing that it was interference, I sent righteous thoughts. I went into a building, used the bathroom, and then I sat in a chair. But as soon as I sat down, I felt a chill run through me and a cold wind blowing on me. I realized I shouldn’t be there. While reciting “When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun), I hurried out of the building. Out in the sun, there was no wind, but I still felt cold.
I wanted to take a taxi home, but the first two drivers were reluctant to pick me up when they saw how pale I was. After I got home my sister happened to stop by. When she saw me laying on the floor, she called my son. My hands and feet were cold. My son asked, “Mom, should we go to the hospital?” I didn’t have the energy to speak but knew exactly what I wanted. I gathered all my strength to say, “Don’t talk to me now, and I should be okay.”
I closed my eyes and told Master that I wanted to validate Dafa and let them witness how extraordinary Falun Dafa is. Twenty minutes later I opened my eyes and got up. It was as if nothing had happened. I knew Master had helped me and arranged this.
Ever since that incident, my sister often recites, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She also told her friends and colleagues what happened. Inspired by my story, one of her friends, who was a manager of a construction site, quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. This manager also told his team to quit the Party and say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My son also changed. He no longer interferes with my practicing Dafa and clarifying the truth. When I’m in the kitchen and can’t hear the alarm, he reminds me that it’s time to send righteous thoughts.
It was Dafa that gave me a new life and a spiritual grounding when I was confused, in pain, and felt that my life was hopeless. Dafa makes me happy every day. I know I’m on the right road—helping Master to rectify the Fa.
