(Minghui.org) I have cultivated in Falun Dafa for more than 20 years. When Shen Yun performed in Canada early this year, my daughter and I planned to fly to Montreal to watch the Shen Yun performance on February 1. But, before our departure, the airline sent us a message that the flight was canceled due to bad weather. Since the show tickets were booked in advance, my daughter and I decided to drive there.
We arrived at our destination smoothly and watched the Shen Yun performance. The amazing experience from watching Shen Yun’s live performance is indescribable. After enjoying the Shen Yun performance, we went on our return trip on February 5.
During those few days, many provinces in Canada were experiencing extremely cold weather and heavy snow, and the temperature in Montreal dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Although the snow on the highway was cleared, it was still snowing that day, and the snow on both sides of the road was covered with ice.
After having driven about two hours on the highway, a large truck cut in front of us. We were getting closer and closer to the big truck. Because the big truck threw up melted snow and mud on the road and splashed it onto our windshield, my daughter planned to pass the big truck from the left lane.
I saw my daughter was driving at 120 km/h (74.5 miles/h), and the accumulated snow beside the left lane was more than one meter high. As soon as our car entered the left lane, she lost control of the steering wheel. I saw that we were heading straight into the snow wall beside the road, and the car's body was already tilted at 30 degrees.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I immediately shouted, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” After shouting three or four times, the car suddenly turned sharply and seemed to be floating on the snow wall. When I came to my senses, I found that our car had turned 360 degrees and landed firmly on the middle lane of the expressway.
I was still in shock and asked my daughter, “When did you step on the brakes?” She said, “I just stepped on the brakes when the car landed. When the car was on the snow wall, I didn’t dare to step on the brakes.”
In less than a minute, two cars stopped behind us in the right lane. They may have seen our thrilling scene just now, got out of the car, and asked us how we were doing. We said we were all right. But the mobile phone navigation fixed in front of the driver’s position was thrown to the door of the passenger side. We and the car were safe and sound. I knew that it was Master who allowed us to escape this catastrophe. My daughter and I said repeatedly: Thank you, Master, for saving my life!
I recalled the example of the practitioner riding a bicycle that Master mentioned in the third lecture of Zhuan Falun:
“This student wasn’t scared when it happened. And that’s true for all the others who have gone through things like these; at most they might have felt frightened after the fact.” (The Third Talk, Zhuan Falun)
This feeling is just as Master said, and it is absolutely true. At such a critical moment, without Master’s protection, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
When life is at stake, sincerely recite the two phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” This is a life-saving way that Dafa practitioners spread to the world. As a Dafa practitioner, I have nothing that could repay Master. I can only practice the cultivation system diligently, change acquired notions, get rid of all kinds of attachments, and do well in what Dafa practitioners should do to repay Master.
Background: What Is Falun Dafa?
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings (which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance) and learned the five exercises, have experienced improved health and well-being.
