(Clearwisdom.net) I was in very poor health before I practiced Falun Dafa, and had surgery due to heart disease. In addition, I had chronic stomachache, pain in the legs, rheumatism and arthritis. I also suffered twice a year from spasmodic dysphonia, a very painful neurological disorder, and there was no known medicine that could alleviate the symptoms. Sometimes, I was bedridden for days at a time.
I used to sell vegetable and fruits. I never earned enough to pay for the medication I needed. I was very poor and felt that life was hard and survival very difficult.
In 1996, I witnessed my sister becoming healthy without any medication after she started practicing
Falun Gong. She tried to convince me to practice Falun Gong, but I just ignored her. Meanwhile, my unhealthy state didn't give me any peace, and I couldn't afford any medication. So, what could I do? I began to listen to Teacher's lectures at my sister's home daily. On the seventh day of listening to the lectures, Teacher cleansed my body and I suddenly felt quite comfortable. I was healthy again. I felt so grateful and wondered how I could show my appreciation for Teacher's help. I knew I should follow what Teacher taught, be a good person and live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
After I had started to practice Falun Dafa, I no longer cheated my customers, although my niece asked me to do that. I cultivated diligently and listened to Teacher's lectures.
I told people about Falun Gong and clarified the truth at all times and offered salvation to sentient beings whose minds were brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lies.
Here I wish to share my experiences as a cultivator over the past year. With Teacher's help and righteous thoughts, I was able to do the three things which Teacher asks of his disciples.
Life Threatening Situation
On May 26, 2011, my sister took me on her bike to clarify the truth. On the way back home, a car hit us from behind. We were pushed for one meter and I was dragged another few meters. I lost consciousness and my sister told me that my face was bleeding and there was much blood on the ground. The driver was a young lady. She was so scared that she kept crying.
The driver took us to a hospital. I regained consciousness once while driving to the hospital. I said, “I want to go home.” No one listened to me. At the hospital, they stitched the wounds on my face, which was very painful. I said again, "Please take me home. I don't want to stay in the hospital." Everyone just ignored me. I wanted to go home, but I couldn't move and had no energy. I was taken to a hospital room.
Then, I felt that my front teeth were loose, which also felt very painful. I was a little vain and thought that I wouldn't look good without front teeth. I then used my fingers to press my teeth back into place and thought, "Please go back and be normal.” My entire body hurt. I wanted to lie down. But my head hurt too much when it touched the pillow. My face was injured. I could only lie face down on my chin to sleep.
No Need for Medication and Injections
The doctor suggested that I needed medication. I replied, “I don't want injections and medication. I only want to go home.” One of the doctors was angry and said, “You are a Falun Gong practitioner!” I replied, “I told you about the illnesses that I had suffered from for a long time, such as stomachache, leg pain, rheumatism and arthritis. I became healthy again. My sister will take care of me. I don't need to take any medicine.”
My husband, my child and many others did not understand my desire to go home. My husband said, “Do you know how badly you are injured? You lost so much blood. The wound could become infected. Do you know what will become of you if you just go home? Don't be silly.”
I did not try to persuade them, but negotiated with the doctor, “Okay, if I recover within three days, please let me go home. If not, I will accept your treatment.” The doctor was not happy and said, “All right. Let's wait three days,” and left.
Everyone tried to persuade me to accept treatment and trust science. I told them, “Don't worry. You guys don't know that there have been many similar accidents and I know what happened to these people. None of them took injections and medication and they recovered within a short time.” They couldn't understand, so I just remained quiet and no longer listened to them and no longer argued. Anyway, I didn't have the energy for arguing my case.
Fighting Persecution of Body and Mind
I stayed firm, not wavering from Falun Dafa, and my righteous thought remained strong. There was nothing that could change my mind. I sent righteous thought to deny the persecution by the old forces.
I said in my mind, "All you who are persecuting me, please listen. I am a Falun Gong practitioner. I am taken care of by my Teacher. No one should attack my righteous thoughts. I won't take any injections or medication. I must go home after three days."
Then, I sent righteous thought and asked Teacher for help, "Teacher, please help me recover. I should not stay here. I need to clarify the truth and cannot waste my time."
I wanted to relax after sending righteous thoughts, but I was in such pain. I realized that I should practice the exercises. I then overcame the difficulties with my legs, which were injured and felt like two logs. I stood up straight to practice the exercises. I had to persevere and refuse the evil arrangement.
I tried several times to practice the first exercise and suddenly I heard a cracking noise. My stiff ankles had become flexible again and I could move them easily. I was crying. I knew that Teacher was helping me bear my pain. I shouted in my heart: “Thank you, Teacher! Thank you, Teacher! I will do better and I will live up to Teacher's compassionate help.”
One of the other patients said, “Ms., why did your ankles make that noise?” I responded, “That's my Teacher helping me with my ankles. See, I'm okay now.” I walked towards them and showed them. The patients said, “That's nothing short of miraculous.”
Witnessing Falun Dafa's Mighty Power
After I practiced the exercises, I went to the bathroom. I said, “Did you all witness my change?” Everyone was convinced that I had improved a lot. Now, it was time to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to them. I was a good example of Dafa's mighty power.
I explained that there are millions of people who practice Falun Gong in one hundred countries. I told them that the CCP lied to the Chinese people to incite hatred and justify its persecution of Falun Gong. Thousands of people died and tens of thousands of people have been illegally detained.
I then said, “Today, all of you witnessed Dafa's mighty power.” Some of the patients withdrew from the CCP and its affiliates. Several said, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are great! Dafa is so powerful!”
Recovering in No Time and Showing the Compassion of a Practitioner
On the second day, the swelling in my face had subsided. I could open my eyes. The doctor wanted me to take medication, but I refused. Instead, I recited the Fa and sent righteous thoughts. During the day, I clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to patients in other rooms.
On the third day, my face was no longer swollen. The doctor was surprised. He wondered how I could have recovered that soon.
I said, “Let me go home.” He said, “You have to wait until the seventh day. We will take out the stitches and check you over thoroughly. We need to be responsible for our patients.” I replied, “Please check me over now. I am fine.”
I wanted to be released, so in order to go home I agreed to have a diagnostic evaluation. Everything was fine. I regretted having to undergo a blood test, as I had lost so much blood during the accident. I had a headache afterwards and felt as if I was about to faint.
My husband and my child demanded that I stay for several days. I said loudly, "I'll go home by myself. You guys can stay in the hospital.”
I asked Teacher for help. I had to eliminate the evil interference. I said, "All parts of me, please support me and help me leave the hospital. I have to save sentient beings. None of you may listen to the evil's arrangement." I suddenly felt very energetic. I could get up, walk out of the room and to the elevator.
On the seventh day, the driver who hit us wanted us to settle the case. The traffic policeman told me, “Just speak up and make your demands to the driver who hit you.” I said, “I have no demands. I will take care of everything if anything happens.” He responded, “I have never experienced a resolution to an accident so quickly. Normally, the two parties argue and sue each other.” I said, “I practice Falun Gong. My teacher told me to think of others first. The driver didn't hit me on purpose. She was very worried too. Please finish your paperwork. See, I am fine now.” He said, “If every accident would resolve itself like this, it would be great.” He processed the documentation.
Helping Others in Adversity
There was another driver who looked very worried. I asked him what happened and he told me that he hit a person with his car. He didn't know what was going to happen. I told him, “If you repeat 'Falun Dafa is Good! Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are great!,' you will have unexpected good results.” He asked, “Is that true?” I replied, “Yes, that's true.” I was just about to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to him when he was taken away.
The officer asked me to sign the final document and I took the opportunity to clarify the truth to him. He said, “I witnessed all that happened. I know that you are a good person. The situation is rather unpleasant. I know that all Falun Gong practitioners are good people.” He was rushing to leave and said, “I would like to talk with you next time.”
The driver that hit me took me home and bought me some tonic. It was very hard to refuse her. I thought I would return it some other time. The driver said, “If it were not for you, I might have to spend tens of thousand yuan. I don't know how to show my appreciation for what you have done. I should buy something for you.”
I told her, “Please be careful in the future. But, I'm asking you that whenever you meet someone, consider the other person's needs first. Repeat 'Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are great!'” The driver also withdrew her membership from the CCP and its affiliates.
She offered me 500 yuan, but I refused to accept the money. I found out later that my daughter had taken the money. I tried to return the money, but the driver refused to take it.
My accident would have been a long drawn out ordeal if I had not been a diligent practitioner. Instead, it took only seven days to resolve itself. The car driver, doctor, traffic policeman and many other people witnessed the power of Falun Dafa and the goodness of its practitioners.
