(Minghui.org) When I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998, I didn’t know anything about cultivation—I was just wishing to improve my health. Not long after I started cultivating, I recovered from all the ailments that had plagued me for more than ten years, including gynecological issues, headaches, and pain in my eye, back, joints, and nerves.
My husband has three older sisters. As the only son, he was spoiled by his parents and developed a bad temper. After we married, we fought every day. He always cursed me. I frequently thought about divorcing him. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I changed my mind and did my best to save our marriage.
Dealing with Tribulations
After the persecution started, I was reported by someone when I went to the local Fa study meeting. The police arrested me and took me to the Domestic Security Division. On the way there I silently told Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa), “Master, practitioners are not supposed to be imprisoned. I need to go home to tell people about Falun Dafa.” Since this thought was righteous, the authorities found that I suffered from three serious diseases when I was examined at the People’s Hospital. The Domestic Security Division told my husband to take me home.
My mother and my husband died within a day of each other in January 2017, and it felt as if the sky was collapsing. I knew I was being controlled by qing (emotion). Fellow practitioners reminded me to read the Fa.
I kept reading Master’s words in Zhuan Falun,
“In the course of samsara, you have had mothers who were human and non-human, and there are too many of them to be numbered. It is also countless how many sons and daughters you have had throughout your different lifetimes. Who is your mother? Who is your son or daughter? No one knows it after one passes away. You must still pay for what you owe others.” (Lecture Six, Zhuan Falun)
I was able to control myself, although I sometimes burst into tears when no one could see me.
Practitioners told me that hand-coping the Fa might help me eliminate my attachment to qing. It took me six months to hand copy Zhuan Falun four times. I understood from the Fa that I came from Heaven, and my mission is to save sentient beings. So I strove to let go of qing, and I went out to clarify the truth about Dafa to people.
Once, in 2019, I was riding my electric bicycle with an elderly practitioner as a passenger. We were on our way to the market to tell people the facts about Dafa, when we were hit by a car and the bike was thrown about seven or eight meters. Our helmets flew off and we were thrown to the ground. There were several people in the car. The driver got out and asked if we were hurt. We both said that we were fine.
We remembered that Master said, “Good or evil comes from that instant thought.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
A young man who was a passenger in the car said, “Let’s take you to the hospital.” I said, “We practice Falun Dafa. We’re alright. Don’t worry.” We then told them the facts about Dafa and helped three of them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.
Afterwards, the elderly practitioner had back pain for two weeks. As for me, I could not bend when I did the fourth exercise. I was in so much pain that I could not move when I slept. The pain lasted for a month. Despite this, the other practitioner and I went to the market every day to tell people the facts about Falun Dafa. We ignored our injuries and gradually recovered. Thank you, Master.
One morning in 2022, I was on my way home after clarifying the truth to people. A young man from my village drove out of an alley and collided with my electric bike. The collision made a big noise and could be heard far away. The front of the bike was demolished, and I was thrown to the ground. The car ran over my feet and afterwards they turned black. The neighbors were very worried and wanted me to go to the hospital for a checkup. I remembered that I was a Dafa practitioner, and knew that I would be fine with Master’s protection.
The young man who hit me told my daughter to take me to the hospital for a checkup. I said no, I didn’t need to go. I did not ask the young man for money. I endured the pain, and took the electric bike to the shop. I went home, ate a simple lunch, and then went to Fa study. Even though I walked with a limp, I insisted on going out to clarify the truth. I knew Master protected me once again.
Once, I went out of town to look after my daughter’s children. I understood that I could clarify the truth and save more people in her area. I didn’t need my daughter to drive me around. I rode my electric bike everywhere I went, and I talked about Falun Dafa with everyone I met. I always told them, “Please remember that Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
We know that as Dafa practitioners in the Fa-rectification period, we need to clarify the truth and help save people in addition to cultivating ourselves. This is our sacred mission and responsibility. Therefore, over the years, we have never stopped saving people. No matter what happens, we need to regard everything as a good thing and improve our xinxing. No matter the circumstance, we never hesitate to fulfill our mission.
