(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2010. Whenever I face trials and tribulations, I turn to Master and look within. Master has never given up on me, always compassionately guiding me and helping me overcome tribulations. I have experienced the wonder of Dafa on many occasions.
Tumor Vanished When I Began to Cultivate
In March 2010, I developed two lymph node tumors, one on either side of my neck, each about three centimeters in diameter. The doctor at the city hospital said I needed immediate surgery. The procedure was be done in two stages: they would operate on one side first and then on the other once I’d recovered.
After the first surgery, I had great difficulty eating, and it felt like a knife cutting through my throat when I drank water. I was in terrible pain.
When I was discharged, my wife (a practitioner) encouraged me to practice Falun Dafa, saying that if the tumor on the other side disappeared, I wouldn’t need another operation. I was intrigued and wanted to give Dafa a try.
From then on, I studied the Fa and did the exercises with her every day. I held myself to the standards of a Dafa disciple, cultivated my character, and strove to be a good person. I also participated in Dafa activities to save people, and I gradually embarked on the path of Dafa cultivation.
A month later, the tumor on the other side of my neck started to soften and shrink, and after two months, it vanished completely, sparing me the ordeal of another operation. I had experienced the wonder of Falun Dafa!
Hearing Restored
Excessive drinking in my youth might have caused me to go completely deaf in one ear. At any rate, I could only hear out of the other. In 2021, as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, mass vaccination was implemented, and entry to public places was prohibited for the unvaccinated.
I was vaccinated on July 9. A week later, I noticed my hearing was getting worse. It deteriorated day by day until I could no longer clearly hear a normal conversation. On the 27th, my daughter-in-law took me to the emergency department of a top-tier provincial hospital. The doctor diagnosed me with sudden hearing loss. I had to be hospitalized at a branch facility for treatment.
Three days later, my family was preparing to take me to the hospital for admission. That morning, I came across an online discussion between a medical expert and someone who had suffered hearing loss after being vaccinated.
The expert explained that vaccine-induced sudden hearing loss requires treatment within 72 hours. Even then, the treatment is effective for only 33% of patients, and even for them, only partial hearing is restored.
Some people mistakenly believe that hearing will return once the vaccine's effects wear off, but that is not the case. By the time one realizes this, even a hearing aid might not help. Reading this left me stunned, filled with a profound sense of disappointment, helplessness, and regret.
The window for treatment had long since passed; what was I to do? It suddenly occurred to me that my wife hadn’t been vaccinated, yet she was perfectly fine. I looked inward and realized that my faith in Master and Dafa was not steadfast, that I harbored fear and let my attachment take the upper hand, thereby inviting trouble.
I had brought this upon myself, so, regardless of the outcome or the magnitude of the tribulation, I had to bear it. When I refused to go to the hospital, I felt a sense of relief, and my previously chaotic and heavy state of mind became calm and at ease.
That morning, as I studied Zhuan Falun, my mind was completely free of distracting thoughts, and every sentence and every word of Master’s teachings were etched in my mind.
As I read from the beginning to page 22 of Lecture One of Zhuan Falun, I suddenly faintly heard the sound of my young grandson speaking in the next room. I did not mention this to my family at the time, fearing that a sense of elation might arise. By midday, I felt my hearing had improved somewhat. That afternoon, I went on to study Master’s Fa teachings.
At around 3:00 am, the next day as I was doing the exercises, my hearing returned completely to normal! It was Master who rescued me from a soundless world and brought me back to the world of sound. Kneeling before Master’s portrait, I could not utter a single word of gratitude and simply wept,
Cultivation Is Serious
In January 2025, my hearing worsened. Within two weeks, I could no longer hear normal speech or the announcements on buses and subways. When my family spoke to me, they had to speak loudly right next to my ear. We were all very worried.
My wife said to me, “For some time now, whenever you send forth righteous thoughts, you don’t keep your hand up; while you meditate, you drift into a daze; and when you study the Fa, you just skim through the text just to get the task done. Have you really thought about what might be the root cause of your recurring ear problem?”
I looked inward again and realized I harbored a strong sense of curiosity. Every day, as I took my grandson to and from school on the bus or subway, I constantly watched short videos on WeChat or read news on Baidu about the US election, the Russia-Ukraine war, bizarre anecdotes, and the like.
My lack of focus as I did the exercises, studied the Fa, and sent righteous thoughts gave the old forces a loophole to exploit, resulting in the abnormal conditions I was experiencing. I felt a deep sense of regret and shame that I had failed to live up to Master’s compassionate salvation!
School was set to start in just a few days, and I was responsible for taking my grandson to and from school. But given the heavy traffic and my hearing loss, it was quite unsafe. My son contacted a hearing aid specialist and asked me to go for a fitting. I was not yet sure I would be able to wear one, and, besides, hearing aids only amplify sound—they do not solve the root problem.
My wife said to me, “I’ll take care of all the housework these next few days. You should use this time to study the Fa as much as possible. Study it earnestly and with a calm mind to let the Fa sink deep into your heart.”
On the morning before I was to be fitted with a hearing aid, I did doing the exercises wearing headphones, the volume turned up to maximum. After I finished, feeling overwhelmed, heavyhearted, and filled with guilt, I knelt before Master’s portrait and pleaded, “Master, please save me once again. Let my hearing be restored so that I can listen to the Fa and do the exercises normally.”
I then began to read Zhuan Falun with full concentration. I read word for word—slower than I had in the past—and would even go back to silently re-read certain sentences. After I finished each section, I would pause to reflect on and internalize the Fa principles before moving on to the next one.
Once my wife finished the housework, she would join me, and we would share our understandings and send forth righteous thoughts, which we did more often than ever before.
By evaluating myself using the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, I realized that I still harbored many notions derived from Party culture and had yet to eliminate numerous attachments. I saw that my understanding of cultivation remained at a superficial, emotional level.
At three a.m. the next morning, I woke up and was preparing to get up to do the exercises, when I suddenly realized that I could hear the faint sound of my hand touching the quilt—my hearing had been completely restored! I knelt before Master’s portrait and wept once more, filled with gratitude for Master’s compassionate salvation.
Shortly after six a.m., my family members got up, and my son called out to me, “I'm taking you to get fitted for a hearing aid this morning!” I replied, “I can hear just fine now. I don't need a hearing aid anymore.” I recounted how I had asked for Master's help and studied the Fa, and my family exclaimed in amazement, “Dafa is truly miraculous!”
Now when I take my grandson to and from school, I quietly recite Master’s Fa teachings on the bus or subway, and I no longer look at my phone.
Reflecting deeply on the lessons learned, I realize that cultivation is a serious matter. Only by maintaining the same devotion I had at the very beginning—studying the Fa well, cultivating myself, and doing the three things—can I return home with Master.
