(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997 I had all sorts of illnesses, including sinusitis, a frozen shoulder, and arthritis. These chronic conditions tormented me.
After I began practicing I abided by Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and improved my xinxing. I did the five exercises, and read the Fa (teachings) every day. All my illnesses gradually disappeared, and I truly experienced what it feels like to be illness-free.
I went to the city in which my son lives to help take care of my grandson in 2014. One day, I suddenly had excruciating abdominal pain, but I did not tell him.
He noticed that I moved slowly and carefully so he insisted on taking me to the hospital. I told him I would be fine. This upset him, and he said, “Look at you. The pain is making you sweat bullets, but you insist it’s not an illness.”
How could a non-cultivator understand that I was eliminating karma? In order to appease him, I went to the hospital. After undergoing an ultrasound, the doctor ordered a CT scan. The doctor told my son I had a growth inside my abdomen that was 15 cm by 15 cm (6 inches by 6 inches), and I needed to have surgery as soon as possible.
My son panicked, but I was calm. I knew it was a false appearance and I shouldn’t have agreed to go to the hospital.
Master clearly explained,
“That’s why I’ve told you that when we cultivators feel uncomfortable somewhere in our bodies it isn’t sickness. Yet what everyday people consider a sick state, and the state that’s reflected in a cultivator’s body when his karma is being reduced, are the same. It’s hard for everyday people to tell the difference. That’s why cultivation practice stresses enlightening (wu).” (Fa Teaching Given in New York City)
I was determined to follow Master’s arrangement and not listen to the doctor. I told my son calmly and confidently: “Do not ask me to go to the hospital again. I should not have gone in the first place. I am a cultivator, Master Li has arranged my path. Nobody can interfere with that.”
My son didn’t say a word and went to work.
Not long after that, my stomach no longer hurt, and I felt relaxed and comfortable. I was amazed at the wonder of Dafa and how fortunate I am to have Master looking after me.
That happened almost ten years ago, and I no longer have any problems with my stomach. Over the past twenty years of cultivation, I have become deeply aware that belief in Master and the Fa is our source of power. Every improvement or breakthrough is inseparable from Dafa’s guidance and Master’s compassionate protection. Thank you, Master, for your boundless saving grace!
