(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in August 1994, at the age of 47. I was suffering from many illnesses back then.
I had recurring migraines, a frozen shoulder, and loose teeth which made it difficult to chew food. This caused stomach and digestive problems. I also had rheumatic heart disease and was constantly out of breath. Life was miserable!
A coworker came to visit me one day and told me about Falun Dafa. I decided to give it a try, and in less than a month of practice, I had gained back much of my strength. My illnesses also soon disappeared. I knew that Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, was taking care of me.
My siblings visited not long after I started practicing. I went hiking with them and cooked all the meals. I was not tired at all. They were amazed to see my transformation. When my family members saw how much I had improved, several of them also started to practice.
On my way home from the Dafa practice site one day, a large Falun symbol appeared in front of me. It stayed there, rotating as I walked all the way home.
We were about to do the exercises after studying Zhuan Falun one evening, when dark clouds billowed above our practice site, and it threatened to rain. We remained calm, covered the books and cassette player with a raincoat, and proceeded to do the exercises.
By the time we started the second exercise, a loud clap of thunder broke loose and shook the ground. Just then I saw with my third eye that a small Falun flew out of the book. When it reached the sky, it grew very large, covering the entire site.
The Falun protected us until we finished the exercises. It wasn't until after we all got home that rain started to pour down. None of us got wet, and were all in awe of what had happened!
We didn't wear gloves in the winter, but our hands and bodies were still warm after the exercises. Sometimes it was very windy, but we didn't feel it. However, as soon as we finished the exercises we could see and feel the howling wind.
I have experienced many incredible occurrences throughout my Falun Dafa practice.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. My spouse and I were both arrested and taken to the police station. My spouse was released, but I was locked up in a small room.
I recited the lectures and thought of the wonderful things that had happened to me since learning the practice. I knew that Dafa was good and refused to believe the slanderous lies spread by the CCP about the practice. I believe in Master and Dafa and vowed to only follow Master's arrangements. Dafa has already given me a second chance in life. I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for this practice. I decided to let go of everything!
After one month of detention, I developed severe symptoms of heart disease. I felt that I was going to die, but held the thought that only Master can determine my fate.
Master said,
“If you can let go of life and death, you’re a God; if you can’t let go of life and death, you’re a human...” (“Teaching the Fa in New York City” from Lectures in the United States)
I wasn’t afraid, but the police were afraid to let me die in their custody, so they sent me home.
I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises at home, and my good health soon returned.
One day in October 2005 I had my 6-month-old grandson at home with me. I put him down on my bed and went outside to mop the floor. He rolled off the bed onto the floor and started crying.
I threw the mop down and ran back inside. As I was hurrying to the bedroom, the bathroom door suddenly flew open and hit me. I shut the door and kept going. Then a cabinet door burst open and knocked me to the ground. I passed out.
Though I was in a daze from the intense blow, I remembered Master's words, “Your main consciousness should predominate.” (Zhuan Falun)
I knew this was the old forces persecuting me, so I told myself to get up, negate the interference, and follow Master's arrangement. With that thought in mind, I began to come around, but was unable to move.
My grandson was still on the floor, crying. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the old force elements that were persecuting me, and asked Master for help. I crawled to my grandson and held him in my arms. I told him, “Let's not be afraid. We have Master and Dafa. The rotten elements will be eliminated.”
I slowly got up as I continued to send forth righteous thoughts. I felt fine after I stood up. I held my grandson as if nothing had happened. Master saved me again!
I have experienced many ups and downs on my cultivation path, but Master has been there protecting me all along. I am forever grateful for his compassionate salvation. Thank you Master!
