(Clearwisdom.net) I am 72 years old. I did not attend much school and was unable to read for most of my life. I became a Falun Dafa practitioner on September 20, 1996. As a result, I quickly learned to read by going through the whole book of Zhuan Falun. This was due to Dafa's supernormal power. I have totally recovered from the different diseases I had before, such as a slipped disc, gall bladder inflammation, and arthritis. Once, I forgot to wear my reading glasses while studying the Fa and immediately realized that I didn't need to wear them anymore. I haven't worn my reading glasses since. I get up early to practice the Falun Gong exercises every day. I will find time to exercise if I miss the morning exercises. When I study the Fa at home in the morning, I always sit with my legs double-crossed until the end of Fa study, and then I carefully put the book back. I am uneducated, but I know that I will do whatever Master tells us to do unconditionally. I have already finished memorizing Zhuan Falun twice. Therefore, no matter what happens, I can always remember what Master says and conduct myself according to Dafa's principles. Below is an example of a miracle that I experienced when I was going through a series of tests.

At the beginning of May 2009, a bump appeared on my left breast and started to turn black. It became swollen, and yellow fluid seeped out of it. I didn't feel any pain, though. I didn't tell my family because I was afraid that they would be worried about me. I believed that as long as I strongly believed in Master and the Fa, and kept upgrading my xinxing, I would not have any problems.

On Mother's Day, my daughter insisted that I change my clothes. I didn't want to change them because I had difficulty raising my arms. They thought something was wrong and asked me to show them what the problem was. I felt there was nothing to be afraid of, so I showed them my breast. They were all scared. Even practitioners from my local group study couldn't say anything. It was really scary at that time. My family members, who are not practitioners, asked me to go to the hospital. I said that, as a practitioner, I didn't have any diseases, and that it was my Master who decides where I should end up, so there wouldn't be any problem. I had the thought that I should conduct myself as a divine being and that nothing of human beings could cure me. I kept sending out the righteous thought that there was nothing wrong with me. As a result, when I went to the hospital, they couldn't find anything wrong. My family had to let the matter rest. I couldn't have Dafa discredited and I didn't want to leave any regrets in my cultivation. Letting sentient beings witness the power of Falun Dafa can, in itself, validate Dafa. I had the perseverance and confidence to overcome this sickness karma tribulation. I understand that sickness karma is just an illusion set up by evil beings to interfere with and persecute us.

Once I was taking a shower and carelessly scratched the swollen skin. Black and green fluid flowed out, and then blood, which increased. I asked Master to stop the bleeding, and in a short while the bleeding stopped.

I never truly thought of it as a disease, but my children were very worried. They took turns to help me with shopping for food, cooking, and doing laundry. I told them that I was fine and asked them not to worry about me. I believe in Master, so I am not afraid of anything. I insisted on doing the housework by myself. I still studied the Fa, practiced the exercises, and sent righteous thoughts without skipping a beat. Practitioners from our local group study also helped me to send righteous thoughts and to look for my attachments. Finally we discovered that my attachment was fear. The old forces had spotted this human attachment and thus caused this incorrect state in my body. Things improved after I found this fundamental attachment.

After a while, my breast started to show improvement and began to scab. My children used scissors to cut off the hard part of the scab, but the scab was so hard that it damaged three pairs of scissors. I understood that Master cleansed my body and removed a lot of bad things from other dimensions and that this was reflected in my body in this dimension. I know that Master has endured so much for me and cleared up so many bad things, because my mind is determined and I never wavered. I strongly believe in Master and Dafa and believe that Master is right next to me. As long as we have righteous thoughts, Master will take care of us. If you don't have righteous thoughts and are just an ordinary person, not a Dafa practitioner, then Master cannot help you.

I also understand that the righteous thoughts that fellow practitioners send won't be effective if you can't find the attachment yourself. You have to understand the Fa fundamentally and also put it into practice, and only then it is true cultivation. Although I don't always study the Fa so well, I have a determined heart and remember how Master has told us that everything that happens in our cultivation is a good thing. Believing in Master and Dafa, letting Master decide what should happen to me, and not acknowledging the old forces' arrangements--this is how I passed the sickness karma. Now I am continuing to do the three things.

I have totally recovered now. I have learned how to search inward through this life and death tribulation. I have learned how to cultivate myself and understand that true cultivation is about doing everything according to Master's requirements. My children and relatives witnessed the change in me and they have no doubts about the truth and miracles of Dafa. I hope that fellow practitioners who are still having illness tribulations can draw a lesson from my experience.
