(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2016 at the age of 53, I had numerous illnesses, including dry eyes, throat spasms, asthma, kidney stones, fatty liver, spinal stenosis, and a thyroid tumor. I was miserable and almost lost hope in life.
Then I met a young fellow who introduced Falun Dafa to me. He had been diagnosed with end-stage cancer. Fortunately, he began practicing Falun Dafa and completely recovered. I thought that if he could recover, my thyroid tumor would not be a problem. But I lost his contact information. Surprisingly, he called me three days later and told me about the book Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa.
While reading Zhuan Falun, I realized that this was a book from heaven and I was so fortunate to have the chance to read it. The more I read, the more awakened I became. Thanks to Dafa’s teachings, my outlook on the world and people changed a great deal. Whenever I have something that I cannot let go of, I remember what Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, said: “If you don’t lose, you won’t gain...” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
I realized that I was now a cultivator, so I should no longer hold on to petty gains and instead pay more attention to others and their needs. I regained complete health shortly after that, and I continued to firmly cultivate in Falun Dafa.
Surviving a Horrific Road Accident
Two years after I began to practice Falun Dafa, I had a major accident. While riding my motorcycle, I collided with a 22-wheel truck coming in the opposite direction. My speed at that time was 40-45 kilometers per hour (25 mph), and the speed of the truck was 55-60 kilometers per hour (35 mph). My motorcycle was totaled, and I was thrown into the air. Everyone who witnessed the accident was afraid to touch me because they thought I was dead, but one young man came forward and took me to the hospital.
I was found to have a minor brain injury, two cervical vertebrae fractures, a ruptured liver, a broken pelvis, two fractured knees, a left femur broken in three places, and two broken hands. My whole body was shattered inside and out. The doctors said that my chance of survival was slim.
My daughter was devastated upon seeing me in a coma. She yelled out, “Mother, mother, you are a Dafa practitioner! Please recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She saw my mouth trying to move. She began playing Master’s lecture recordings for me. She also arranged to transfer me to a prestigious trauma hospital. She kept asking me to recite the auspicious phrases during the process.
I first had surgery to fix my right leg. Five days later, the doctor operated on me again to fix my arms and left leg. Three days after the operation, I woke up. Fellow practitioner Le came to the hospital to take care of me. I met Le shortly after I began practicing Falun Dafa. She had accompanied me throughout my cultivation journey, providing encouragement and support. When I woke up, she encouraged me to evaluate things as a cultivator. I realized that a hospital is for everyday people, but I was a cultivator, so I asked Master to help me to go home.
The hospital and my doctor wanted my daughter to sign a liability waiver. She also believed in Master and Dafa, so she signed the paper. I began studying the Fa and performing the Falun Dafa exercises when I got home. Initially, I did the movements while lying down, and later, I was able to do the exercises while seated. Several weeks later, I was able to stand up and do the exercises. A month after that, I was able to walk! Nobody expected me to survive such a catastrophic accident, let alone recover so well and so quickly! Many people said Dafa is truly good!
A doctor made routine phone calls to check on me. My family told him that I had recovered very well and was already up and walking like usual. He did not believe them at all. He called me on my phone and was shocked. He wanted to see me in person the next day. What he witnessed was beyond the explanation of any medical knowledge!
Because of my brain injury, after one month, I still had some slurred speech and people had a hard time understanding me. After I studied the Fa with other practitioners, I regained my speech function and spoke fluently. I am especially happy that Master and Dafa restored my speech. One and a half months later, I went to see the truck driver. He wanted to pay a large sum for me when I was in the hospital, but I declined. I was a cultivator and had to be considerate of others. The driver was deeply touched and happy to see me recover so well.
I saw the doctor who took care of me while I was in the hospital. He was dumbfounded, not only because I was alive but also that I had recovered so quickly. After the leg cast was removed, I was able to walk immediately. “Do you know that you have nails in your left arm and leg, and your neck was broken?” he said, looking terrified. I responded, “No worries. Dafa helped me.” I turned my neck back and forth to assure him. I could tell that my unbelievably speedy recovery from such serious injuries left him deeply shocked. I took this opportunity to share information about Dafa with him.
Master saved me from death. No words can express how grateful I am to Master.
Two months after the accident, I went with Le to tourist sites, passing out information about Dafa to visitors. I hope more people can learn how extraordinary Falun Dafa is and benefit from it.
