(Minghui.org) Before I started practicing Falun Dafa in July 1998, my health was very poor: I had gastritis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, an enlarged liver and spleen, tachycardia, breast lumps, kidney stones, arthritis, and athlete’s foot. I also had skull fractures and meniscus injuries from a fall, along with many gynecological issues. After I practiced Falun Dafa, all these illnesses disappeared, and I felt light and healthy. Even though I was 60 years old, my period returned. Dafa gave me a healthy body and helped me become someone who thought of others first.
I’ve had many miraculous experiences in my cultivation, and I’d like to tell you how I overcame tribulations and improved my cultivation.
The first incident happened before the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I only practiced Falun Dafa for about four months, and my menstrual cycle was irregular, with continuous heavy bleeding every day. I was fine while I was at work, but after I came home, I bled heavily and had to frequently go to the bathroom, which caught my husband’s attention. He urged me to go to the hospital, but I knew Master was helping me eliminate karma and purify my body. I was unaffected by my husband’s words and even felt happy. Although I bled a lot every day, I went to work as usual. After about 20 days, this tribulation ended. From then on, my 21-day menstrual cycle became a normal 30-day cycle, and I was overjoyed!
Around the autumn and winter of 2009, my previously normal menstrual cycle became irregular. I bled heavily every day and it showed no signs of stopping. I heard that some women experienced this before menopause, so I thought it was normal. The factory I worked for had gone bankrupt, so I worked in a Dafa practitioner’s store.
When I went to a restroom, I suddenly heard a “plop” as a fist-sized mass came out of me and fell into the toilet. I was shocked and took a closer look—it was a large blood clot. I didn’t think too much of it. After that, every time I went to the restroom, blood clots of various sizes came out. This continued for many days. I began to feel weak, and it started affecting my work and daily life.
After the CCP started persecuting Falun Dafa, I lost the group cultivation environment, so I read Dafa books and did the exercises at home. At that time, I couldn’t visit Minghui.org and didn’t have an environment for group Fa study, so I relaxed in my cultivation. I knew this wasn’t an illness and didn’t take it seriously, but I didn’t know how to cultivate properly, how to look inward, or how to negate it. I also didn’t share this with other practitioners and just passively endured.
The practitioner’s store had two entrances; the store manager (the practitioner) and another employee were at the main entrance, while I was at the side entrance. There were fewer customers at the side entrance, so I had time to read and could rest on the sofa during lunch. One afternoon, around 2 p.m., I wanted to eat something. As I stood up, I felt dizzy, my body swayed, and everything went black as I fell heavily onto the sofa, losing consciousness. I didn’t know how much time had passed before I woke up and called the store manager.
The manager came over, saw me, and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you? You look so pale.” Lying on the sofa, tears flowed down my face as I spoke of my grievances. The manager let me leave work early. I thanked her and felt as though I was walking on cotton, with a heavy head and light feet. I tried my best to steady myself and decided to find another practitioner to share my experiences with.
When I met the practitioner, she asked me, “Why is your face this color? Even your lips are white.” I briefly explained the situation, hoping she could share her understandings with me based on the Fa. I wanted her to tell me what to do. However, as she was a doctor, her professional instinct took over before I finished speaking, and she said, “This is a hemorrhage,” and explained further. I didn’t get any Fa-based sharing from her, so I was extremely disappointed. My mind was filled with resentment toward her and the term “hemorrhage.” Slowly, I became somewhat clear-headed—I couldn’t accept the thought of “hemorrhage”! I rejected it in my mind, and I don’t remember how I left her place.
On the way home, a thought kept flashing in my mind: “You are hemorrhaging!” I immediately replied to that thought, “You are the one hemorrhaging!” It kept flashing in my mind, and I kept rejecting it. Gradually, the voice became weaker and weaker, and I returned home. The thought of “hemorrhage” still flashed in my mind, but I kept rejecting and negating it. Slowly, my mind became calm and clear.
Why did I resent the practitioner? I wasn’t enlightened from the Fa, and even when I did have some understanding, I wanted other practitioners to agree with me. Isn’t that lacking righteous thoughts?! Isn’t that not believing in Master and the Fa?! Is it cultivation to learn from people instead of the Fa?
That night, I slept soundly. It was because Master saw my firm thought in not acknowledging the “hemorrhage” and my firm belief in Master and the Fa that he removed my karma—Master endured that karma for me.
I went to work as usual the next day. The hemorrhage symptoms completely disappeared, though I was not sure when. But later, human notions led me to “replenish blood” by boiling red dates, goji berries, black fungus, and rock sugar together and then eating the mixture. The second time I boiled them, I laughed at myself for still thinking like an ordinary person. My body is made of high-energy matter—how could this kind of food replenish me? Through this tribulation, I improved in the Fa and continued more firmly on the path of cultivation.
Three years ago, I had an episode of rectal bleeding. When I used the restroom what came out was like diarrhea: half a basin of bloody water. This time, I was happy as I knew Master was purifying my body again, and I was about to improve in the Fa again. I looked inward and found jealousy, resentment, being bossy, self-righteousness, showing-off, a competitive mentality, the inability to take criticism, and deeply hidden lust! In my heart, I said to Master, “Master, I absolutely don’t want these attachments, they are not me, and I do not want them!” I intensified my Fa study and sending righteous thoughts, eliminating these human attachments from deep within. Again, Master endured the karma for me, and my xinxing improved.
Now, I understand even more how important it is for a cultivator to believe in Master and the Fa. I will strive to do the three things well and assimilate to the Fa.
Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation!
