(Minghui.org) I was riding my bicycle one night last October and I was about to make a left turn when a car rushed toward me from behind. It hit the right side of my body hard. The collision made a loud noise.

The driver was standing in front of me when I woke up. He asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. I said I was fine. He said he called 120 (the emergency number). But I told him again that I was okay.

I stood up, and began pushing my damaged bicycle and I headed home. The driver did not follow me. There was a bump on the back of my head and I had a slight headache. I had some calendars in the back seat of my bicycle, but I couldn’t remember who they were for. Just before I reached home I realized they were for a practitioner in a neighboring unit. I delivered them to her but she did not notice any thing unusual.

I felt nauseated and dazed after I got home, but I did not tell my husband what happened because I didn’t want to scare him. I stood in front of Master’s picture and bowed, to thank him for saving me.

I sent forth righteous thoughts for a while. When my son came home I said, “I was hit by a car. If it wasn’t for Master’s protection I might not be here now.” He was calm and said, “Keep studying the Fa [teachings].” My son believes in Dafa very much. He sometimes reads the teachings and does the exercises on his own. That day he and I listened to the recordings of Master’s lectures for two hours, and I no longer felt nauseated. He was awake when I got up to send forth righteous thoughts at midnight and when I did the exercises at 3:30 a.m. He asked me how I felt. I told him I was okay. I knew he was worried about me.

My entire body felt uncomfortable the next day. When my son suggested we cancel our trip I said, “We’ll go.” I wanted to deny the old forces’ interference. I felt fine all day during the trip, except when we were on a rocking boat and my head started aching.

I took my bicycle to a repair shop on the third day. The technician asked, “Where’s the pedal?” I realized a pedal was missing. I noticed the chain was also missing and the front wheel was bent. When I explained what happened he was surprised and asked me, “What did the driver do? Did he leave?”

I told him I practice Falun Dafa, I was fine because Master protected me, and I returned home on my own. He thought it was incredible. I told him the truth about the persecution and how wonderful Falun Dafa is, and I asked him to remember “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Looking at the bicycle with the missing pedal, I sensed how serious the accident was and how badly I could have been injured. But I did not feel any pain. When the car hit me it felt like I was wrapped in a sponge. When I returned home I stood in front of Master’s picture and thanked him again.

I felt I must have had this accident because I had a loophole in my cultivation. When I looked inward I found I had the following attachments:

1. Selfishness: I sometimes fought for the right of way. This was truly dangerous. I only wanted to save time but I did not realize the way I behaved would cause other people problems. I will change from now on.2. I have an attachment to avoiding trouble and being fearful: Sometimes when practitioners asked me for materials, I gave them extra. I didn’t want to go to the materials production site too often, since there was a guard outside the gate. When a practitioner asked for 15 calendars I took forty for her. I did not think about her situation—I was only worried about my own safety.

3. Lust and self-righteousness: Sometimes the demon of lust interfered with me badly. I was not determined to eliminate it. I will strengthen sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate it.

4. Attachment to money: My son gave me 5,000 yuan to give to fellow practitioners to make truth clarification materials (that tell people about the persecution). I kept it and managed it myself—I thought I wasn’t going to spend it on myself anyway. When I realized my mistake I immediately gave it to the practitioners who made materials.

5. Looking down on other practitioners and discriminating: I blamed them, and I sometimes raised my voice. I also did not treat my family members equally. I sometimes focused on their weak points. I was not nice, let alone kind.

6. I did not pay attention to telling people the facts about Dafa or prioritize helping Master rectify the Fa and save people. I did not clarify the truth about the persecution to the driver after the accident. I should have at least told him I was not injured because I practice Falun Dafa.I took it easy in my cultivation, and I wasn’t concerned about how anxious I made Master. I did not think to ask Master for help and support at the critical moment. I did not think to send forth righteous thoughts to deny the old forces’ persecution. I only cared about leaving the scene of the accident as soon as I could so no one would see the calendars. I also failed to tell my family and coworkers the facts about Dafa. I was blocked by my human notions and selfishness. I forgot that they are also Master’s relatives and precious lives that are waiting to be saved.

7. I was attached to traveling and nice clothing. I still have many attachments after having cultivated for 28 years. I feel embarrassed to face Master.

When I told my family and friends about this accident, they were stunned and said it was amazing and miraculous that I survived. I told four taxi drivers about my experience, and they all quit the Chinese Communist Party or its affiliated organizations. They all said, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

My father-in-law was worried about my safety and discouraged me from going out to tell people about the persecution. I said, “I was just hit by a car. If I didn’t practice Falun Dafa and wasn’t protected by Master, I would have either died or been seriously injured.” I told my mother-in-law, “Shouldn’t we all be grateful to Master and Dafa?” She loudly said, “Yes!”

Words cannot express my gratitude to Master.
