(Minghui.org) During the COVID outbreak last year, most people stayed home. My husband asked me not to go out as he was afraid that I might contract the virus. I told him that I would be fine, but I stayed home for two days.
We had to go out and take care of something. Soon afterward my husband tested positive for COVID. He didn’t say anything but stayed in bed the next day. He said that I would also test positive. I told him I would be fine. I doubted I would catch COVID even though I used his towel. I knew this thought was not correct. However, I didn’t deny this thought.
Three days later, my throat began to hurt. I knew that my doubtful thought invited the virus. I quickly sent righteous thoughts to eliminate this wrong thought. Within 10 minutes, I felt all my cells expanding from my throat to my lungs, making a creaking sound. The itchy pain spread from my throat to my lungs, and the suffocating feeling was real. I was a little scared but I immediately corrected myself, “I am not afraid. Master will turn bad things into good things.”
I said, “Master, I am wrong. I shouldn’t be doubtful because that is not being respectful of you and Dafa. I failed to believe 100%. I will correct my every thought.”
I told the old forces: “Because I’m still cultivating, I make mistakes. I knew I was wrong and I corrected myself. I won’t allow you to use this as an excuse to persecute me. My Master takes care of me—the old forces are not in charge.”
Master said, “… forced persecution that’s not acknowledged is a crime…”.(Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003)
I started reciting what Master said,
“True Dafa disciples have higher energy and are able to destroy karma and germs …” (Stay Rational)
I kept sending righteous thoughts for one hour. My symptoms gradually subsided and then completely disappeared. My husband was not even aware of what I went through.
Through this experience, I’ve realized that everything is a test. If we don’t analyze every thought, we won’t improve. We may develop human attachments and cause unimaginable consequences. I am so grateful and will keep in mind Master’s teachings.
