(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, cholecystitis, and severe tuberculosis. For many years I went to the hospital for injections and medicine. One type of injected medication caused a problem with my right kidney. Another medication affected my hearing in one ear and caused a stomach problem. It was normal for me to vomit every day and not be able to finish a meal. 

My husband worried about me even when he was at work. He feared that he would not know if I died. He would take me along when he went on business trips so I could have a bit of relief from my suffering. I became a heavy burden on my family. Not only was my body uncomfortable, but my heart was even more uncomfortable, and I seldom slept through the night. I didn’t know how this kind of life could end.

Master Saved Me Again

In the spring of 1999, I found Falun Dafa. After I became an adherent, all my illnesses disappeared without my intervention. I thank Master and Dafa for making this happen. I set up a Fa study site in my home, and every morning other Falun Dafa practitioners and I went outside to do the exercises together, and in the evening we studied the Fa together. Every day we were filled with joy and happiness. 

The persecution of our beliefs began in July that year. We lost our good environment for collective cultivation, and due to my strong fear, I gave up practicing Falun Dafa. 

My past illnesses came back to me one by one. One day, I had a high fever and my husband took me to the hospital. After examining me, the doctor said that I would have died if I waited two weeks longer to have medical attention. I stayed in the hospital for 50 days, yet after that time, my condition was only slightly better. 

In 2005, my husband took me to my brother-in-law’s home so I could relax. My brother-in-law and his family all practiced Falun Dafa. His wife wanted me to restart cultivating and gave me a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. In fact, I knew in my heart that Dafa (the Great Law) is good, but I was afraid of being arrested and so I didn’t dare to practice again. When I returned home, I read Zhuan Falun eagerly. I stopped taking the medicine, and no longer visited the hospital. I didn’t worry about my health. I just read the book every day. I felt warm all over my body when I read Zhuan Falun and didn’t have any more physical discomfort. 

After I concentrated on reading Zhuan Falun, I realized that one doesn’t use Dafa to get rid of illnesses and keep fit. Its purpose is to bring people back to their true selves. I realized how silly I was back then when I gave up such a good practice so casually. Several times I shed tears while reading the book, and sometimes I wept with regret for giving up Falun Dafa cultivation. If Master hadn’t saved me, I would have died. 

I was sorry that I caused Master to worry about me. Master gave me a new life again.

Passing a Cultivation Test

On January 13, 2008, around 7:00 p.m., while I was doing the exercises, my older sister called me, saying that my father was seriously ill. I took the train to my hometown that night. All five siblings went there to see our father. The next day, he passed away. During the funeral, I felt exhausted. By the time I got home, I began developing a high fever. 

My throat was burning and I couldn’t swallow food. I thought: “I am a cultivator, I have to eat.” So I made a big bowl of noodles, swallowed hard, and said to myself: “You hurt yours, I eat mine” and I ate all of the noodles. The high fever made me feel exhausted, so I practiced the exercises as much as I could. No matter how uncomfortable I felt, I continued to study the Fa.

After a week I started to feel really thirsty and so I drank a lot of water. I felt like my body was floating, like a leaf floating in the air. I knew I had passed a test. 

I calmed down and thought back about what had happened over the past few days, and realized that my tribulation was caused by my resentment. When my father was seriously ill, my sisters didn’t care for him. I was the only one who went back and forth to his home 10 times to help him. My sisters lived in different cities, only one of my older sisters lived close to my father, but she didn’t help much. I felt unhappy that my sisters didn’t do more to comfort my father. Coupled with my sentimentality for my father, I was exploited by the evil and it attacked my body. Master Li saw that I had the determination to cultivate and took away the karma. However, by feeling ill, I had made Master worry again. Thank you Master for your compassionate protection.

Passing the Test of Sentimentality

My husband and I have always had a good relationship, and over the years, I have been very nice to him. 

One day after dinner, while I was washing the dishes, my husband came back home from having a drink. His cell phone battery died, so he made a call from our landline. I heard him talking and his voice did not sound normal. He went to bed after hanging up. I felt something was amiss, so I called the number my husband dialed. A woman answered the phone, and when I asked “Who is this?” she hung up. 

The next morning I asked my husband who was the woman he called. He confessed that they had been together for at least six months. I advised him to stop contacting her and live a good life at home. However, he did not end the affair. One day, my husband said he wanted to divorce me and go away with the other woman.

I said I wouldn’t divorce him. He asked me if I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find someone as nice as him after we divorced. He was indeed a very hard-working person, he was kind to me and our children, and our family was living a good life. I told him: “I can forgive your betrayal. Not because I can’t live without you, but because I’m a cultivator and Master Li told us to be good people, I can’t get a divorce. Responsible people don’t get divorced.” 

Even as I tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t listen, and thus my human notions arose. I resented him for not thinking about our relationship, and for being selfish and cruel. I couldn’t eat or sleep well, and I lost more than 10 kilograms (22 pounds).

One night I dreamed that I was riding a bicycle on a wide avenue, when suddenly a sandstorm with strong winds started up and made it difficult to ride my bicycle. With great effort, I pushed the bicycle forward. When I woke up, I realized that Master was enlightening me: No matter how difficult the road is, I can make it through. It was because I have so much affection for my husband that I was looking at my husband’s affair with human notions, and not with compassion.

Master let me see my attachment, and I became determined to get rid of it. As long as my husband came home, I continued to treat him well and cared for him as I had before. After a long time, he no longer talked about divorce. Now when he comes home from work, I serve him good meals. When he is tired from working, I prepare hot water for him to soak his feet and relax. He said: “I am blessed in my life to find a wife as good as you.”

Saving More People

The Fa-rectification is nearing the end, and Master wants us to save as many people as we can. In the past, I mainly made phone calls to talk to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution. Now, I go out and look for someone to talk with face-to-face. I go to places where there are many people, such as bus stations and busy roads, and I talk to everyone I meet. 

One afternoon, when I was studying the Fa at home, I felt as if something was on my mind, and I couldn’t concentrate on what I was reading. I thought that the nagging feeling was telling me that I should go and save people. I went out and saw a woman not far away. As soon as she saw me, she ran over and I greeted her. She said that she couldn’t find the bus station and was worried. I explained the truth about Dafa as we walked to the bus station. I asked if she had ever heard of the three withdrawals. When she said she hadn't, I told her, “When a person joins the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Young Pioneers or Youth League, the person makes an oath to dedicate his or her life to the CCP. The CCP is evil. Our lives are given to us by our parents and shouldn’t be dedicated to the CCP.” She recognized the truth of what I said and agreed to quit the Party.

One day, my daughter’s boyfriend brought five friends over. Among them were teachers and police officers. I wanted to talk to them so I could save them, but couldn’t easily join their conversation. Just then, the boyfriend called me over and said to his friends. “This is my aunt, and she is very nice.” I took the opportunity to say: “You were fated to come to my home. I would like to tell you a good thing: we all wore red scarves when we were young, joined the CCP’s Youth League, and even joined the CCP.” They agreed that was what they did.

I went on to say: “When you joined the CCP’s organizations, you made a poisonous oath to dedicate your life to it. The CCP is atheistic, and it talks about fighting the heavens and the earth. All kinds of disasters come from heaven. No matter how great the CCP’s power is, it cannot stop the wind, rain, earthquakes, and tsunamis. We must obey God’s will. Withdraw from the atheistic organizations, and let the Gods and Buddhas bless us.”

The five young people were happy after hearing this, and repeatedly asked: “Auntie, why are you so good?” I gave each of them a pseudonym which they used to withdraw from the CCP organizations they had previously joined. 

Thank you, Master, for bringing people who were destined to learn about Dafa to my home, so they will be saved. 

There’s so much to say, I can’t express it in a few words. 

Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation.
