(Clearwisdom.net) On June 30, 2008, six of us went to a remote mountainous area to give out "truth- clarification" materials. When we arrived at the village, my throat felt warm with an unusually salty phlegm. Using a flashlight, I checked my throat and told my older sister, "It's blood." She thought the blood came from my teeth, but I did not think so.
The six of us separated into two groups to spread the materials. I walked only a few steps before I spit out a mouthful of blood. I asked the other two practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts for me. We turned a corner and I spat out several more mouthfuls of blood. My heart beat faster. I asked them again to send forth righteous thoughts for me. They agreed while continuing to hand out the truth-clarifying materials. After several more steps, I vomited fresh blood. I gradually lost my voice and could not move my feet easily.
I asked the others to sit down to send forth righteous thoughts. They sat in front of me and held up their hands. At this moment, I could not breathe. I was really on the verge of death. However, my mind was clear. I remembered the words of Master,
"This law holds in both the old cosmos and the new one: a being's choice is up to him, even if he made some kind of vow in history. At critical moments it's still up to him what he wants to do." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia")
I said with my weak voice, "Master, I cannot leave. I have not finished my mission to save sentient beings!"
My fellow practitioners sensed how serious the situation was. They said, "Master, please come quickly. We have difficulties. We won't allow the old forces to persecute us."
One fellow practitioner spoke loudly to the old forces, "We are Fa-rectification Dafa disciples and the disciples of Master. The things we are doing are of the most sacred mission, to save sentient beings. Only Master's words count. You don't deserve to persecute us. We are fulfilling our prehistoric pledges. Our omissions will all be rectified in Dafa."
In my mind, a sentence emerged, "Remove your human thoughts and evil will naturally die out" ("Don't Be Sad" in Hong Yin II)
I started to look inward and said off and on to my fellow practitioners, "My attachment to showing off surfaced while I was talking. After my daughter-in-law had a baby, on several occasions my attachments surfaced. In addition, when my sons divided the family property, I did not abandon my attachment."
Then, I recited the Fa-rectification verse with a weak voice. The practitioners said again, "Master, please come quickly. Eight Types of Heavenly Law-Guardians, please come quickly."
In about 20 minutes, one practitioner saw that Master and Law-Guardians came and landed in front of me. Master patted my chest twice. I started to burp, my stomach sounded twice, and I could breathe easily.
Master saved me! I was so overjoyed that tears rolled down my face. We knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." We all cried. When we stood up, we looked and smiled at each other, and continued to distribute truth-clarifying materials.
Within this half hour, we harmonized and re-energized with each other to form a whole body. When I returned home, other practitioners asked me to write down the experience. I told them that I could not express the eternal thanks to Master for saving me so I didn't write about it.
But I after I read the article from Minghui/Clearwisdom website, "Righteous Thoughts Are Important, Especially When We Are in Danger" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2008/8/7/99609.html), I felt very sorry about the practitioner who was persecuted to death by the old forces while distributing truth-clarifying materials.
My fellow practitioners encouraged me again to put down this experience, so other practitioners could also feel Master's immense compassion. So I am writing about my fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts and hope practitioners will benefit from it. Let's support each other and save more sentient beings.
