(Minghui.org) I am a 78-year-old woman from a farming village, who began to practice Falun Dafa in 1997. I have benefited greatly from practicing Dafa throughout the years.
I was going to run errands on July 8, 2009. On my way to the bus stop, I was hit by a car and fell unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the ground, surrounded by a crowd of people. I realized what happened and began to get up.
From the impact, I had been thrown nearly 16 feet. The bystanders looked surprised to see me getting up. The driver who hit me was speechless.
I was in pain and struggled to get on the bus. The bus driver asked me twice if I was okay.
Finally I said, “I practice Falun Dafa, and I will be fine. The driver that hit me did not do it intentionally.” I did not ask for any compensation. I went home.
When I got home I saw that my injuries were serious. I had a large bump on the back of my head. Pus was coming out of my elbow, my legs were swollen and I had numerous other bruises. I was in pain and could not walk or eat.
My neighbor nearly cried when she saw my condition. My granddaughter buried her face in her hands and said, “Grandma, I'm scared!”
My children asked why I did not demand at least $75.00 dollars from the driver for a physical exam at the hospital. I said to them, “I'm a practitioner and I will be fine. I don't need to go to the hospital, I will recover quickly.”
My children stopped trying to convince me to go to the hospital once they saw I was serious and would not change my mind. I read the Falun Dafa books and did the exercises every day. Within four days I could walk while leaning against the wall and after two weeks I had fully recovered.
Master Li – The teacher of Falun Dafa – teaches us to think of others first. I did not demand compensation from the driver, nor did I spend a penny going to the hospital. I have greatly benefited from Dafa.
