(Minghui.org) I am 49 years old and I started to practice Falun Dafa 18 years ago. I was born with a congenital heart defect, which is a birth defect that affects normal blood flow through the heart. Before I took up Falun Dafa, my face at times turned to a dusky green-blue color. I used to get tired and had to rest even after a short walk. I was prone to catch a bad seasonal cold.
My doctor said that I would not live past the age of 12 if I did not undergo surgery by a certain time. However, my family was poor and could not afford the cost for such an operation. Thus, I could have lost my life at anytime.
Although I was treasured as a jewel of great value by my family, I often felt very depressed. This was even more so when I saw my classmates grow up, get married and have their own families, while I still needed my parents to take care of me.
Fortunately, I encountered Falun Dafa in January 1997 and it did not take long for me to attain a healthy body. Then, I was able to look after my mother and do household chores.
After my family witnessed such great improvement in my health, they were convinced that Falun Dafa saved my life and blessed my entire family.
In 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa, so I joined my fellow practitioners to clarify the truth to people by telling them about my health improvement. The CCP used its massive media to defame Falun Dafa, so we wanted people to learn the truth about this peaceful and beautiful cultivation practice.
I began to feel weak in my limbs, had purple lips and a swollen face in September 2009. Although I did everything a Dafa practitioner is supposed to do, including studying the Fa diligently, sending forth righteous thoughts and talking to people about Dafa and the persecution, my condition worsened. I did not know where I had gone wrong in my cultivation.
I shared some thoughts with fellow practitioners and we sent forth righteous thoughts together. I then suddenly felt stronger, and believed in Master and the Fa more passionately. I realized that I should deny all old force arrangements and only walk the path that Master has arranged.
I took every opportunity to send righteous thoughts to eliminate evil. Once in a dream, I heard someone say, “What would happen to all sentient beings in her world if you torture her to death?”
After I woke up, I tried to figure out what happened in my dream. I picked up a Minghui Weekly magazineon a nearby table. As I flipped through it, I saw an article titled “Keep Divine Thoughts while Removing Human Notions.”
After I read the article, I realized the reason behind my tribulation. I explained to a policeman that I practiced Falun Dafa to cure my illnesses in 2008. This was a wrong statement. However the old forces took advantage of this loophole to persecute me.
After I realized this, my legs were covered with red blisters. I treated it as a symptom of cleansing my body further and removing karma from my body. My health got better and better, and finally I recovered completely. It took only half a month.
Master said,
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide”(“The Master-Disciple Bond”, from Hong Yin Volume II)
