Incredibly Lucky to Be Alive

Feb. 26, 2026 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998 because I wanted to improve my health—all my illnesses disappeared and my morals improved. Master Li Hongzhi cleansed my body and I experienced Falun Dafa’s amazing power.

The Broken Bowl

My wife did not want me to practice Falun Dafa, and she tried to make my life difficult. She constantly gave me chores to keep me busy so I wouldn’t have time to study the Fa or do the exercises. She even hid my Dafa books. She lost her temper if I didn’t obey her.

My wife asked me to scramble eggs with chives. I put chives in the wok first, then the eggs. When she criticized me, I said, “It doesn’t matter which one I put in [the wok] first, they’ll all get cooked!” She got even angrier, picked up a bowl, smashed it into pieces and then stormed out of the kitchen. I swept up the broken pieces. When I turned around I was stunned by what I saw: the bowl was intact!

My wife was shocked. She changed tremendously after that incident and stopped interfering with my cultivation. She sometimes she read literature about Falun Dafa, and one day she told me, “I want to practice Falun Dafa.”

“That’s great!” I said, “Let’s practice together.”

Master Saved My Life Twice

I’m a coal miner, and the working conditions are harsh and dangerous. Our team is responsible for tunnel maintenance. I was asked to drill a blast-hole in the tunnel. Just when we were about to finish, the supporting wooden beams and the ceiling collapsed. My teammates watched in horror. Afterwards they told me they were sure I was dead. They rushed to remove the debris and pulled me out.

I stood up, brushed off the dust, and moved my arms and legs around. When my teammates saw I wasn’t injured, they said, “This is absolutely amazing! You are lucky to be alive!” I told them, “I practice Falun Dafa, and Master watches over me, that’s why I wasn’t harmed, or else I would be dead for sure.”

When I later told my team members how Falun Dafa is wrongly persecuted in China and urged them to distance themselves from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, they accepted it. The other miners asked me for amulets that had information about Falun Dafa so they could stay safe.

Our team was asked to retrieve some old metal support beams. Their lengths were from 2 meters to 4 meters. At least two people are needed to carry each one. A teammate and I carried one of the 4-meter beams. We carried it on opposite shoulders, and I told him that we had to switch to the other shoulder when we got on the truck. However, he dumped his end of the beam on the truck before I had a chance to switch shoulders.

The beam shoved my head into the truck—it was so heavy it could have easily crushed my skull. I didn’t remember how I pulled my self out from underneath it. My helmet was flattened and the light on it broke. However, besides a minor cut on my forehead, I was fine.

My coworkers said, “It’s amazing you’re alive.”

I said, “Master saved me again.” I told them that reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good” would bring them peace and safety.

Master watched over me for over twenty years. My wife and I continue to tell people how good Falun Dafa is and fulfill our sacred mission of assisting Master in Fa rectification and saving sentient beings.

We thank Master for his compassionate salvation.
