(Clearwisdom.net) I used to have several stubborn diseases before I started cultivating Falun Dafa. I had neurasthenia, migraines, and tachycardia when I was young; hepatitis C, gallstones, uterine fibroids, a frozen shoulder, rheumatoid arthritis, and a bone spur during middle age; and I had a stroke when I was old. I couldn't move half of my body. I was blind in one eye. Most of my life was spent in misery, fighting different diseases.

Fortunately, I started cultivating Falun Dafa in April 1999. It was a turning point in my life. My grandchild's teacher, a Falun Dafa practitioner, introduced Falun Dafa to me and helped me get the precious book Zhuan Falun, Master's lectures, the exercise audio tapes, and Master's portrait. To my surprise, my body underwent a huge change as soon as I started practicing Falun Dafa. I previously wasn't able to lift my arms because of my frozen shoulder. However, I could lift my arms the first time I started doing the second exercise holding the Falun. My arms seemed to pop up like two sticks. I held them up for a half-hour and finished the exercise! My knees felt burning hot on the second day. My rheumatoid arthritis was gone after that, and I no longer fell like I did before. I knew Master was cleansing my body. After a month of doing the exercises, my stroke symptoms disappeared. My vision became normal. All my diseases were gone. I began to feel light and happy. I started a new life! No words could describe how grateful I was! I thank Master and Falun Dafa for my rebirth! I have been standing firm on my path of cultivation since then. I would like to assist Master with saving more people.

Ever since the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was launched, I have been illegally arrested three times, but escaped with Master's care. The following is what happened.

In May 2002 my fellow practitioners and I were distributing flyers in a park when local police officers arrested us and took us to a police station. They threatened me and took turns trying to force me to tell them who gave me the flyers. With Master and Dafa in my heart, I had no fear. I faced their interrogation with a smile and repeatedly recited in my heart,

"Dafa is what you carry everywhere,
Zhen Shan Ren, rooted in the mind;
A great Arhat walks the earth,
Gods and demons fear with awe."
("Benevolent Might” in Hong Yin)

The policemen were too afraid to even look at me. They turned to the other practitioners to ask about the source of our flyers. I struck the table and cried, "We were telling people the facts. What's wrong with that? You are acting like it is the Cultural Revolution all over again. Are you threatening us?" The police were taken aback, and that ended more than three hours of interrogation. We returned home safely in the end.

After this experience, I realized nobody could hurt us if we keep our righteous thoughts. Master revealed,

"Our Law Wheel protects you if you’re a true cultivator. My roots are all deeply planted in the universe, and if someone could affect you, he could affect me, and to put it directly, he’d be able to affect the universe." ("The First Talk" in Zhuan Falun)

"Under trying circumstances of any type, you must all keep steady in thought. Just by staying unaffected you will be able to handle all situations." ("Teaching the Fa at the Conference in the Midwest-U.S.")

The second amazing episode occurred in 2004. Eight fellow practitioners and I were distributing truth-clarification materials in a mountainous area near our county township, when we were arrested and taken to a police station. Four police officers did everything they could think of to intimidate us, attempting to find the source of our materials. I had no fear, refused to cooperate, and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. My mind was very clear. I was a Dafa disciple of the Fa-rectification period. I was determined not to stay there, because I had no time to waste in saving more people by clarifying the truth and helping people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. A fellow practitioner and I sent forth righteous thoughts non-stop from the moment we entered the police station until the next morning. The police couldn't get what they wanted, and they tried to transfer us to another detention center. When we were taken to a county police hospital for a medical exam the next afternoon, something miraculous happened. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and heart disease. The other practitioner who sent forth righteous thoughts with me was also diagnosed with heart disease. As a matter of fact, we didn't feel sick at all. We even felt energized, although we hadn’t slept the night before. We knew Master made this happen to protect us. We were sent home right away. We were able to return to our work of saving sentient beings.

The third amazing incident happened in 2008. The CCP launched a new round of persecution on the eve of the Olympic Games. A fellow practitioner who was in contact with me had been tracked by police for a long time. My location was revealed. Several police officers broke into my home one afternoon in May, searched it, and tried to arrest me. Knowing two fellow practitioners were coming to meet me that afternoon, I kept shouting "Falun Dafa is great!" so that they could hear my warning from far away. I refused to get in the police van. Four officers lifted me up and threw me into the van. I lost consciousness.

By the time I regained consciousness, I found myself locked in a room in a police station. I sent forth righteous thoughts and clarified the facts to the police to help them quit the CCP, and two of them decided to quit that night. I refused to cooperate with any interrogation. I told Master in my heart, "It's impossible for the evil to stop my cultivation. I'm determined to follow Master to the end. It’s absolutely impossible for me to give any information about my fellow practitioners. I must protect them. I must leave here. I'm a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period. I must get out of here and continue to save more people." I asked for Master's help to escape. Under Master's care, I quit eating and drinking for a whole day but still felt energetic.

Six police officers watched me that day. When it cooled down in the evening, one of them who had quit the CCP put a coat on me. Around 2 a.m. the next morning, I needed to use the restroom. Two policewomen took me to the restroom, but they went to get some water for me while I was inside. When I came out of the restroom, I found an empty room next to the restroom. I went in the empty room quickly, locked the door, moved a stool under the window, and climbed on the windowsill. It was all dark outside. I didn't even look at what was outside the window before I jumped down. I felt my feet land lightly on a bike handlebar. I didn't fall, but balanced on the bar instead. I didn't make a bit of noise getting down, which was amazing since there were many bikes around, which would have made a huge racket if I had fallen.

After landing, I found a gate with three huge locks. I brushed them with my hands. All three locks opened. I opened the gate and left. In front of my eyes was a golden road. It was covered with golden stars. Green trees lined the road. I had no fear and didn't run. There was nothing interfering either. I admired this marvelous scene as I walked along. A taxi pulled up and I got in. It was around 2:30 a.m. when I successfully escaped with Master's strengthening and care.

I went back to see the outside of the police station at a later time and saw that the station had only one gate. It was surrounded with tall walls. There was nothing like a golden road. The policemen in the station told others, "How could that woman be 70 years old? We seven or eight young men couldn't catch up with her." All these miracles happened to a practitioner with righteous thoughts and Master's care.

"When disciples have ample righteous thoughts
Master has the power to turn back the tide."
("The Master-Disciple Bond" in Hong Yin II)

I truly experienced it! Thank you, Master!
