(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in my 80s. Recently, due to my lack of righteous thoughts, the old forces took advantage of me. As a result, I spent a month in bed.
At that time, there was a knot in my mind. I had no energy at all and did not want to eat. My sight was blurry, and I couldn't see well. My daughter stayed at my bedside every night. Many people brought nutritious foods for me and hoped that I could regain my energy. However, my illness persisted. I started to wonder if I could hold on until my illegally detained son returned. My fellow practitioners came, studied the Fa, and sent forth righteous thoughts at my bedside, but I could not hear them.
Then, one night, I heard every single sentence of the Fa that the practitioners were reading and felt that every single sentence was directed at me. I realized, by then, that I had not done things according to the Fa and that I did not treat myself as a practitioner. Eating nutritious foods I was treating myself as an ordinary sick person. As a Dafa practitioner, how could I use ordinary people's concepts?
After improving my understanding of the Fa, I listened carefully to the Fa lectures and strengthened my righteous thoughts. I refused to eat any special food and did not allow anyone to bring me any. Without resorting to any special diet, I ate the regular meals prepared by the family. I used righteous thoughts to reject the persecution of illness. I believed firmly in Teacher and the Fa. Not too long after, I could get out of bed and began to walk. Now, I have more black hair and my back is straight. I look a lot younger than I used to.
Witnessing my complete recovery from the severe illness using my righteous thoughts, the whole village was stirred. Many people started practicing Falun Gong, and almost all the people in the village support Dafa. Many people thought that I would die after such a long illness that had me bedridden. But I miraculously recovered, which, once again, let people witness the greatness of Dafa.
In the following days, I will improve myself in cultivating and practicing Dafa. I will not let the old forces take advantage of me again, and I will firmly follow Teacher in Fa-rectification.
