(Minghui.org) I experienced something very strange at the beginning of this year. It felt like a gust of wind was blowing hard against me and my body leaned to the right. This continued for several months, and the feeling intensified. When I told the other practitioners they were also baffled and didn’t understand why this was happening.
I felt no pain, no itching, or any discomfort, but it felt like there was an invisible force that kept pushing my body to the right. My body leaned when I walked, sat, or stood. I didn’t know why and it frightened me, so I asked Master to give me a hint so I could enlighten to why this was happening.
One day, while I was listening to experience sharing articles on Minghui Radio, there was a case very similar to mine. It was about a female practitioner in her 80s. Her husband said he wanted to buy a burial site for them near their nephew’s home. The practitioner didn’t say anything, which implied that she agreed with him. The old forces then took advantage of this and persecuted her.
As I was listening, I remembered that after my husband passed away, my mother-in-law asked me if I would like to be buried with their family members and I casually said “Yes.”
I suddenly realized that this was where I stumbled, because I agreed with everyday people’s arrangement for my future, instead of following Master’s arrangements for Dafa practitioners.
I immediately went to Master’s portrait and said, “Master, I was wrong by casually agreeing to an ordinary person’s arrangement.” I wept and begged Master to help me. I felt very sad for having a poor enlightenment quality, and Master had to worry about me as a result.
On the way back from picking up my granddaughter from school that day, a line for a movement in the first set of the Falun Gong exercise appeared in my mind - “Vajra Toppling a Mountain”, and I kept silently reciting it. When I studied the Fa with another practitioner she said, “Your body is straight now! It’s amazing!”
Master said,
“I’m thinking this matter is just incredibly serious! It is so serious, yet many people are not treating it seriously. That’s notably so for some veteran Dafa disciples. Has it occurred to you that everything in your daily life is part of cultivation? Your every word and action, and everything you do—all of it is part of your cultivation. Do you realize that?”(Fa Teaching on World Falun Dafa Day, Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XII)
Through this incident, I gained a deeper understanding of Master’s teachings. I looked inward, and realized that even though I was doing the three things and I appeared to be quite diligent in cultivation, there were still hidden attachments I was not aware of, and I didn’t truly understand the seriousness of practicing Falun Dafa.
I also felt Master’s boundless compassion. Master has been looking after us all this time, and waiting for us to improve our understanding of the Fa principles. No human language is sufficient to express my eternal gratitude to Master!
I personally experienced the extraordinary power of Dafa. My body leaned for a long time, but it suddenly straightened. At the same time, I realized the importance of sharing among fellow practitioners based on the Fa, which can really help us avoid detours on our path of cultivation.
