(Minghui.org) I began cultivating in Falun Dafa in 1998. Before I began practicing, I was known throughout my village for my poor health. My family, friends, and people around me all worried about me, but they were helpless to assist me. I had to endure the suffering alone. My illnesses included stomachaches, headaches, hepatitis, tuberculosis, rheumatic diseases, and severe gynecological issues. Despite taking a dozen different medications daily, it was useless as my health showed no signs of improvement.
One day in 1998, a friend dropped by and asked for some gasoline. Her motorcycle had run out of gas, and she was unable to get home. I was lying on the bed at the time. My husband siphoned some gasoline from our car and gave it to her. When I heard them talking, I got up. Seeing her, I asked, “You were sickly before. But you look very good now. What happened?”
She replied, “I am practicing Falun Dafa.” I asked what it was, and she replied, “I cannot explain it clearly in a few words. Tomorrow I will bring over a book. After reading it, you will know what Falun Gong is.” I agreed, and reminded her not to forget.”
A few days later, she brought me the book Zhuan Falun. I could not put the book down once I started reading. Normally, I didn’t read any books, because reading made my eyes hurt and water. To my surprise, I read Zhuan Falun for several days straight, and my eyes felt fine. I wasn’t sure why, but I just enjoyed reading this book.
I visited my friend at her home several days later, where a group was watching the Fa lectures, so I joined them. I decided to stay the night so I could learn the Falun Dafa exercises. The next morning, I meditated for an hour, and my body felt incredibly light, and my mind was filled with joy, something I had never experienced before. There were no words to describe the feeling, and it was just wonderful.
The next day, my husband brought me home. I threw away the spirit tablet that I worshiped, hoping for a cure for my illnesses, and put the medications in the trash can. Since I began practicing Dafa, I have experienced a complete transformation and have not needed to take any medication.
I run a small business. Four years ago, on a summer day, I was riding my electric bike eastward when a car suddenly came out from the intersection, struck me, and pushed my bike about five meters. The four people inside the car were visibly shaken. The driver’s mother muttered with trembling lips, “What are we going to do? What are we going to do?”
I comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. He didn’t hit me intentionally. I am a Falun Gong practitioner, and I will not extort money from you. You can leave.” But they did not go. Instead, they helped me get off the bike.
My pants were torn, and blood was running down my leg. The driver urgently said, “Let’s go to the hospital and check it out.”
I replied, “Please don’t worry. You can go. I will be okay.” In my heart, I was pleading with Master to help me. When I looked at myself, it was truly miraculous. I had no injuries, except for a cut on my knee that was bleeding.
By now, the crowd of onlookers had increased. Someone who recognized me suggested I go to the hospital to be checked out. I thought, “I have to let the driver leave, otherwise, things will be complicated if my family learns this.” I said, “Please bring my bike over, I need to go home. You can leave too.” They brought the bike over, but the front and sides of the bike were badly damaged. I asked them to take the bike to a repair shop. I felt I could manage this situation myself after we left the crowd. At the repair shop, I told them, “You can leave. I will take care of this myself.” They insisted on paying the 170 yuan repair fee. I said, “It’s okay. You can leave.” They were still not sure and hesitated.
I took the opportunity to explain the facts about Falun Dafa and asked them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I said, “We met each other through this incident. That is our predestination. I believe this is the chance to let you know that Falun Dafa is good and to quit the Party. This will bring you blessings. When disasters strike, you can safely make it through.”
The driver and his wife agreed to quit. I told them that reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ would bring them good luck. They all agreed.
I recovered on the second day and had no pain.
Master said:
“We have said that good or bad comes from a person’s initial thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
I had acquired a deeper understanding of the Fa principles. The miraculous power of Dafa was demonstrated through this incident.
When my husband learned of the accident, those responsible had already left. He was furious and cursed me out in front of many people. He refused to allow me to explain and hurled insults at me. I reminded myself that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and must not react as other people would. I needed to guard my xinxing and pass this test well. I said to myself, “You cannot be moved no matter what he says.”
I knew Master had protected me during the accident. I was hurt so lightly. Despite being nearly 70 years old, the kneecaps are quite fragile. I could not imagine what would have happened without Master’s protection. However, I suffered only minor cuts. When I got home, I wiped the blood off my knee and covered it with a cloth strip, careful not to let my husband see it. He remained angry, huffing with rage.
That night, I removed the bandage, did the exercises, and studied the Fa. The next morning, my knee was fine, and I resumed my normal activities. My family had also witnessed the wonder of Dafa. Later, my husband realized that Master had protected me and agreed to quit the CCP, choosing a bright future for himself. Falun Dafa not only saved my husband, but also many relatives and friends.
I used many different ways to tell people about Falun Dafa and help them quit the CCP. I have worked with fellow practitioners to distribute pamphlets and calendars with Dafa information on them, and we also put up banners about Dafa. With Master’s compassionate protection, we have made it through to today. I know that as long as I have the wish to save people, Master will help me to accomplish that.
Going forward, I will put more effort into studying the Fa well, look inward to find my attachments and eliminate them, and send forth righteous thoughts diligently. To better accomplish my mission, I will always consider myself a practitioner.
