(Minghui.org) Many years ago I worked as a cook in a factory cafeteria. A chef there asked me to be his assistant. Although I accepted the offer, I didn’t like the job very much, because I felt I deserved a better position given my excellent cooking skills. Because of this attachment to validate myself, a tribulation occurred not long after.
One day, twenty minutes had passed since it was time to start the cooking, and the chef hadn’t shown up yet. I thought to myself, “I’ll just start the cooking myself; it will be better than his anyway.”
I found a gas tank and tried three times to light it, but it didn’t ignite. The fourth time, with a big bang, a fire flared up. The fire immediately surged toward me and I couldn’t help but wipe my face with my hands. As I did this a layer of skin just peeled off my face. Then, my hands and shoulders were burned and the pain was unbearable.
As a Falun Dafa practitioner, my first thought was to call out to Teacher Li Hongzhi for help. As soon as I did this, the pain went away! Meanwhile, other cafeteria workers had discovered the fire and quickly rushed over to extinguish it.
I went home and quickly looked inward as to why this workplace incident may have occurred. I concluded that my competitive mentality had led me to this dangerous situation. If not for the protection of Master Li, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
When I returned to work five days later, my coworkers were all amazed by my quick recovery and they were surprised to see how fair and smooth my skin was. After I found my attachment and corrected myself, Dafa had indeed revealed its miraculous power to me yet again.
