(Minghui.org) A large outdoor Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) practice site caught my attention in the spring of 1999, so with some effort, I got a few Dafa books. The persecution of Falun Gong was in its infancy, and was about to get worse. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was no longer allowing people to practice, or they would be harassed. Someone told me one day that people were doing the Dafa exercises by the river, so I went there. As soon as I joined the group, many plainclothes police arrived. Without asking any questions, they took me to a detention center and detained me for two weeks.
I didn’t know what was going on. I observed the Falun Dafa practitioners, and little by little, I found that they were a group of people with noble character. They were simple, kind, and peaceful. They were non-competitive and selfless. All of this deeply touched me.
I had always wanted to find a master and learn to become a Buddha in this lifetime. I found that Falun Gong was exactly what I was looking for. I learned to recite Hong Yin and do the five sets of Dafa exercises. I was fascinated by the experiences practitioners shared, and felt sorry that I had not known about Falun Gong sooner. When I was interrogated in the detention center, I said that the government had made a mistake. I told myself in my heart that I wanted to be a shining particle of Dafa.
It has been over 20 years since I started practicing Dafa. The following are some stories in my cultivation that I would like to report to Master and share with practitioners.
Master Saved My Father’s Life
My sister called early one morning, and I said to her, “Sister, come home. Father has blood in his urine, and he will not go to the hospital. He just wants to take care of himself at home. Now he has a high fever again. It had subsided after an injection, but became high again after the IV ended. He won’t listen to me. What should we do?”
I went out to make some arrangements, and when I got home I saw that my father was on a drip IV. My brother, sister and I were around him and started reading Zhuan Falun. As we read from the first lecture to the fourth lecture, he became more energetic and was able to listen to the Fa. He opened his eyes and said he wanted to learn Falun Gong. We read until midnight and did the exercises together. My father’s fever subsided.
Our uncle arrived the following morning. He had recently started practicing Falun Dafa, and his celestial eye was open. He asked if my father had been sick recently, and said that he would be well by the afternoon. My uncle told us that when he was meditating the previous night, he saw that Master Li went to the underworld and brought Father out. Master held Father’s life book in his hand and asked my uncle to bring Father back. We understood from this that Father’s life and death were now controlled by Master.
Our family had just started practicing Falun Dafa and did not know much. We were amazed to hear what our uncle said. Sure enough, that afternoon, Father became well. Master had taken care of him because he said he wanted to study Dafa.
Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning Helped Me Clarify the Truth
A matchmaker once introduced a young man to my daughter. The man hesitated to marry her when he heard that we practiced Falun Gong, and so the match was unsuccessful. But this young man had good character. His family had an orchard and a vegetable farm. When he was in college, he dropped out of school to take care of his mother for three years when she was sick. After she recovered, he took the college entrance examination again. After graduating, he worked in a foreign company near his home. I felt bad because I didn’t have the opportunity to clarify the truth to him.
A fellow practitioner who had moved to Hainan Province came back to visit me. I told her about the situation and we decided that the match was not important, but to have a good person learn the truth about Dafa is. So I told the matchmaker that I would like to go to the man’s home to clarify the truth to them.
The matchmaker went to the man’s home and told them that we intended to visit the next day, after work. The young man’s family said they would be busy picking fruit, and could not be sure of making the appointment.
We decided to go anyway. I went to a store to buy some food as a gift. As soon as I entered the store, there was suddenly thunder and lightning, and it started to rain and become windy. It was such a heavy rain storm! When I came out after buying things, the sun came out, the rain stopped, and the wind died down. Seeing that it was time, the practitioner, my sister, and I drove together and went to the man’s home.
When we arrived, we didn’t expect that he and his parents would all be at home. It was the wind, rain, thunder and lightning that drove them back in from the orchard. We got straight to the point, and said that we were not there for our child’s marriage, but to tell them the truth about Falun Gong. So the three of us told the young man’s parents about the staged self-immolation on Tiananmen Square, and helped them quit the Party.
The young man didn’t say much after listening to what we told him. He just talked about the history of the CCP. I didn’t ask him to quit at the time, but left him with a USB flash drive with information before we left for home.
Half a year later, the young man came to my house and told me a story. He said that he was affected by the propaganda on TV, and also that there was a Falun Gong practitioner in his unit who did not act too well. He thus had some prejudice and concerns about Falun Gong. But some time ago, he said he sat in a passenger seat when driving with someone else. The driver lost control and something was about to hit the front of the car, where he was seated. In the moment of life and death, he thought of Falun Gong. He remembered that I had told him to recite “Falun Dafa is good” when in danger. As soon as he recited it the object shifted direction. He was unscathed, while the driver was injured and had to be taken to a hospital. He said he didn’t expect that Falun Gong would be so magical.
I helped him quit the Party this time and gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun. His life took a new course.
My Niece’s Extra Tongue Disappeared
I have a young niece who was a gifted speaker when she was in elementary school. But one day she found that she had some difficulty speaking. Her parents both worked in the hospital, and her father was a surgeon. He checked her and found that a small tongue had grown under her tongue. He anesthetized her and cut off the small tongue, but it could not be completely removed and grew back. This went on for a while.
The child came to our house to study the Fa and read with us during the summer break. When the school started, she declined to have surgery again, but her parents wouldn’t listen.
Once her father went out of town, and the small tongue grew again. Her mother asked her to have the surgery, but she firmly disagreed. She said that she was studying Dafa and that Master would take care of her. Her mother insisted, and asked another doctor to perform the surgery. However, the niece refused to cooperate, so the surgery was not performed. But surprisingly, after this incident the tongue suddenly disappeared. The niece believed in Master, and she was healed.
Believing in Dafa Produces Miracles
My sister-in-law called one morning and asked me to go to the Central Hospital because my brother had been in a car accident. I saw my brother in the emergency room. He could not speak or express himself. His nose, eyes, and mouth were bleeding and his eyes were gazing straight ahead. He was wailing. The doctor took him directly to the emergency room. He was still spitting blood in the elevator.
My brother had crashed his car into a telephone pole that morning because of the heavy snow and ice. The steering wheel hit his ribs, and all his ribs were broken. His lungs were injured and he couldn’t breathe. He had to have a tracheotomy, and was put on a ventilator to maintain his breathing. We had no choice but to agree to the hospital’s decision. On the way to the ICU, we saw that my brother was pale and had no reaction. The doctor kept rushing us to sign authorization forms.
Facing this, we all prayed to Master to save my brother. There were five of us siblings, three being Falun Dafa practitioners. In addition, my father and stepmother are also practitioners. Only my injured younger brother and my stepsister did not practice Dafa. When we were back at home, we burned incense and knelt, begging Master to save my brother.
My brother’s wife also practices Falun Dafa. She knelt at the window next to the ICU and read Zhuan Falun to my brother. The ICU only allowed us 20 minutes visiting time. My sister-in-law wrote “Falun Dafa is good” on my brother’s face and chest with my finger. I put the MP3 player next to his ear, but he was not reacting.
We persisted like this day after day. On the seventh day, when we went to see my brother, he woke up and was able to open his eyes. On the ninth day, he was out of the ICU and taken to the general ward. Because of the tracheotomy he could not speak. The miracle was that all the broken ribs were automatically spliced together, and there was no need for surgery. He got better day by day. We all knew that Master had saved him.
My sister-in-law’s sister and brother-in-law came and insisted on taking care of my brother overnight. My brother dreamed of his sister-in-law who had passed away. After waking up, he had a high fever. It was about 104°F, and it wouldn’t go away. He was transferred to the provincial city hospital, but the fever persisted. We looked inward together, and found that we didn’t tell my brother that it was Dafa that had saved him. This was a big omission.
My father told my brother what happened, saying that Dafa had saved his life, not modern medicine. My brother listened to the MP3, and his temperature dropped quickly. The hospital also managed to find medicine to treat him and keep his temperature down. He was discharged after a week.
Looking back on my cultivation path, my deepest thought is: Faith in Master is the guarantee for everything. My faith in Master will never change.
