(Clearwisdom.net) I am a senior Falun Dafa practitioner who started practicing in 1998. I have followed the way of Dafa cultivation for over ten years. During this time, with Master's compassionate care, I have felt the majesty and beauty of Dafa and witnessed the rewards that Dafa has brought to my family. Here I'd like to report my experiences to Master and share them with fellow practitioners.
Master Gave Me Another Life When I Was Tormented with Disease
Before I started to practice Falun Dafa, I had many diseases, the most severe being a stubborn skin disease (psoriasis). At various times, the skin all over my body festered and I could not take care of myself. All the money my husband earned was used to pay for the medicine that I had to take. Since I took so much medicine, I had all sorts of side effects, such as headaches, rheumatism, hyperostosis, etc. During this period, my oldest son, who was 17, was diagnosed with bone cancer. Within a year he lost his life. I could barely stand this and almost had a breakdown. Fortunately, right at that time, I had the opportunity to start to practice Falun Dafa. Cultivating in Dafa brought me many benefits, physically and mentally. Gradually, my body became well again and the diseases and pain disappeared, and I felt so much better. Master showed me true mercy. He took me, a person full of karma, out of hell; purified my body; and made me a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period. I shouted from the depths of my heart, “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master, for saving me!”
Through studying the Fa, I knew the true meaning of life. Humans come to this world not just to be human, but to return to one's true self and original nature. After I understood the principles of Falun Dafa, I changed totally. The people in the village saw the change in me and began to learn the practice at my home with me. They also felt the beauty of Dafa and gained physical health. Our family bought a car and built a brick house. Our whole family is grateful to Master and thankful for the rewards Dafa has given us.
On July 20, 1999, the evil regime led by Jiang Zemin started the massive persecution of Falun Gong. They deceived the population, concocted all kinds of lies, and framed Master and Dafa. I traveled to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. On Tiananmen Square, I called out from the bottom of my heart, “Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa! Restore my Master's name!” I validated Dafa in Beijing in a righteous way with no human attachments. Under Master's compassionate care, I arrived back home safely. Later, however, I made mistakes when I was taken to a local brainwashing center. But with the help of fellow practitioners and through studying Master's lectures, I eventually woke up, realized what I had done, and returned to Master's embrace and came back to Dafa. Bathed in the Buddha's light again, I studied the Fa and practiced even more diligently, hoping to make up for what I had done wrong, and to do well the three things that Master requires us to do.
Believing in Master, Believing in the Fa; Seeing Through Illusions Arranged by the Old Forces
Once when I was shelling corn using a hand-crank device, I accidentally put my finger in the device and broke my finger. The bone was showing. My family told me to go to the hospital. I thought, “I am a Falun Dafa disciple. Master protects me and I will be OK.” I said to Master's portrait, “Master, I didn't do well, and the evil took advantage of my weakness. Please strengthen me to eliminate all the dark minions and rotten demons' interference.” My finger did not hurt at all, and I worked as normal. Several days later it recovered.
Another time was during the busy farm season. Suddenly I could not move my back, as if I had a herniated disc. At that time I was not scared, and my first thought was: “Master save me! This is not disease, this is an illusion.” This time I knew it was not an illness, but interference due to the old forces' persecution. I sent forth strong righteous thoughts: “If this is Master cleansing karma for me at the root, I will bear it; but if it is the old forces and evil factors' interference and persecution, I will not accept it or tolerate it.” Then I thought, “Master, please help me to eliminate and disintegrate it with my righteous thoughts.” Just like that, under Master's care, I got well in just a few days. I looked at Master's portrait and smiled. I felt that, since Master and the Fa were with me, nobody could touch me. This is how I have studied the Fa every day, practiced the Falun Dafa exercises, clarified the truth, and never stopped.
Motorcycles Hit Me Twice But Master Saved Me
On August 14, 2010, at around 9 a.m., I was on my way home on my bicycle when a motorcycle hit me at an intersection. My first thought was: “Falun Dafa is good. Master save me; my body should not be damaged.” The motorcyclist was scared and ran away, but my husband called him back. I stood up and told him that I cultivated Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, that I practiced Falun Gong, and that I would not take advantage of the accident to get money from him. I was all right. The person laughed and said Falun Gong was magical. The front wheel of my bicycle was damaged, and I felt a little uncomfortable, but I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises after I got home, and I recovered in a few days.
On another occasion, at around 8 p.m. on September 19, 2010, I was riding my bicycle home after work with a person from our village. We rode as usual on the right side of the road. All of a sudden a motorcycle came up behind me and knocked me over. A witness said that I was thrown through the air on impact. I heard a loud noise, as if thunder had hit my head, and I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I saw my work colleague. She asked me if I was all right. I said I was fine. I was very clear that Master was beside me, and it was Master who had saved me from death once again. My head was injured, but not bleeding. I could barely walk, and the rear wheel of my bicycle was twisted, so the bicycle couldn't be pushed. The person who hit me lay on the ground in a pool of blood not moving. A pedestrian called the police. An ambulance came and took both of us to the hospital. The other person had only minor injuries, with no big problems. I didn't get examined. I said that I was a Falun Gong practitioner, my Master and Dafa protected me, and that I would be fine.
I called my younger sister (also a practitioner). I explained to her what had happened and went to her place instead of my own home. I didn't want my husband, who is not a practitioner, to worry about me, so I didn't tell him about the accident. At my sister's place we studied Master's new article, “Fa Teaching Given at the 2010 New York Fa Conference.” We did the exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts. The next day we went to the traffic police to ask for the return of my bicycle. (I had one thought in the morning: “Master, I want my bicycle back, it's my Fa-implement, I want to fix it.”) I said to the police officer, “I practice Falun Gong. I won't ask for monetary compensation from the person responsible. Just giving me back my bicycle.” They saw that my face was still swollen and that I walked with difficulty. The police said that there were not many good people like me. They finally said that I should take 200 yuan to get my bicycle fixed, but I insisted that I would not take it. They thought it was not enough and asked the other person to pay another 100 yuan, saying to me that I should use the 300 yuan to buy a new bicycle. I still didn't want to take it, and returned the money to the person who hit me. During this process, my sister and I clarified the truth about Falun Gong to the person who hit me and his family. They were very grateful.
Through studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts, my body has now almost recovered.
There are just so many experiences and stories to write about. I know I still have many human attachments to relinquish: the competitive mentality, jealousy, the mentality of showing off. Though I have a lot to improve on, I will not allow the evil to persecute me. Since I am a Dafa disciple, I can only be evaluated according to Dafa, and Master will make judgment. No matter how much the evil changes, it is still evil, and I am determined not to accept evil interference. I enlightened that, after July 20, 1999, Dafa disciples no longer are in the state of eliminating karma. It must be that the old forces are taking advantage of dark minions and rotten demons to persecute me. Master does not acknowledge the old forces, and Dafa disciples should not accept them, either. I firmly deny and do not acknowledge the persecution imposed by the evil old forces.
I know that when we believe in Master and the Fa, there are no tests that we cannot pass and no tribulations that we cannot overcome. I walk on a divine path. As long as I align myself with Dafa at every moment, the closer we get to the end, the more diligent I will become.
