(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in July 2002. Over the past ten years, I've dealt with numerous bouts of sickness karma, however, no matter how sick I felt, I did not take any medicine. Thanks to Master, I now have a healthy body. I knew all along that my good fortune was the result of practicing Dafa. I am very thankful to Master!
I'm So Fortunate to Learn Falun Dafa
In 2001, I lost my job and had to look for temporary work. My health was so bad at the time, that I couldn't even climb a flight of stairs! After my neck became swollen, I went to the hospital for a checkup. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, an incurable disease that required me to take medicine every day. I was only 40 years old at the time and the news hit me like a thunderbolt. As far as I was concerned, my life was over and utterly meaningless. In addition, I had lost my permanent job, so seeking medical treatment was out of the question. I felt like a withered flower and was always in a terrible mood. Several times, I even considered committing suicide.
In July 2002, my mother-in-law, who was a Falun Gong practitioner, suggested that I start cultivating. “Only Master can save you!” she said. She gave me the book, Zhuan Falun, and taught me the exercises. Within one month, not only had my hyperthyroidism disappeared, but other diseases, as well. I felt extremely lucky to be Master’s disciple! I was so happy!
Witnessing Miraculous Things
Many miraculous things have happened to me since I started on the path of cultivation. One day, while I was doing the standing exercise, I saw through my Celestial Eye that I was standing atop the earth, looking down. At that time, the earth looked so tiny. I was able to view this scene for several days.
Another time, while I was practicing the exercises, my MP3 player stopped working. However, I could still hear the exercise music from afar. I was so excited; I knew that Master was encouraging me.
Once, when I was doing the first exercise, I felt my body flying through many layers upon layers of universes. There were also many other miraculous things that happened to me.
Casting Off Sickness Karma
In the first half of 2012, my vision was very blurred, thus I was unable to read. In addition, I could not move my legs and my heart beat very quickly. My weight steadily dropped and I got thinner and thinner. A family member sent me to the hospital for a checkup. I was diagnosed with diabetes. I knew my xinxing had dropped considerably, as my mind was not focused on the Fa. I felt like my life was in extreme danger. I spent an inordinate amount of time watching Chinese Communist Party TV shows instead of doing the exercises and reading the Fa. Thus, the old forces took advantage of my loopholes and persecuted me.
Master said,
“With human beings… when a being can obtain the Fa today in history, it’s no ordinary thing—he’s so fortunate! But as soon as he loses the Fa, do you know what he faces? It’s really horrific, because when he fails to fulfill the major responsibilities and the huge missions that were bestowed upon him, then, accordingly, that’s like the inverse of a being’s Consummation, and he will truly have to enter the gate of no-life. You folks can’t just go and abandon a person without trying hard enough. No matter what kind of mistakes someone has made, or what kind of a person he is, I still want to give him a chance. Of course, in human society there are, after all, a number of people who aren’t good enough anymore, so just let them be. Today I’m mainly saying that our Dafa disciples need to do better, and we should cherish those who have obtained the Fa.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Chicago Conference”)
I realized that I had not cultivated solidly, nor had I treasured the Fa. Instead, I was attached to seeking a comfortable ordinary life. However, Master told us to look within, and as soon as I did, I experienced the magnificence of the Fa. We need to look within, especially when we are going through bouts of sickness karma. Only by doing this can we improve ourselves.
Master told us,
“…If you do not change the human logic that you, as an ordinary human, have formed deep in your bones over thousands of years, you will be unable to break away from this superficial human shell and reach Consummation. … ” (“Cautionary Advice” from Essentials For Further Advancement)
I realized that I am a Dafa disciple and Master is beside me. No matter what agreement I may have signed with the old forces in the past, that agreement is now null and void. We should never acknowledge the old force's arrangements! I only walk the path arranged by Master. Everything of mine is decided by Master.
During the course of looking within, studying the Fa, and practicing the exercises, my diabetes symptoms completely disappeared, without me even realizing it. I appreciate that Master did not give up on me and allowed me to cultivate again. My gratitude toward Master is hard to express in words. I will do the three things very well and return home with Master!
