(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Gong in 1998. With benevolent Teacher's protection, I was safe and sound after experiencing a serious bus explosion. The incident proved the miraculous power of Dafa, as well as Teacher's compassion and the manifestation of the powerful Buddha Fa.

At 1:15 p.m., one Sunday early in September 2002, I was riding my bicycle home with my two-year-old nephew on the back of the bicycle. At that time, the evil CCP's (Chinese Communist Party) persecution of Falun Gong was rampant, and our cultivation environment was very harsh. While riding my bicycle that afternoon, I had been quietly reciting Teacher's new articles in my heart.

I was riding on the sidewalk in front of a department store when a green bus appeared across the road, four or five meters away from me. I noticed that there were many people on the bus. Suddenly I saw white smoke coming from the back of the vehicle. Without realizing what it was, almost simultaneously, I heard a very loud bang which could be heard for a long distance. The body of the bus was blown away, and there was thick smoke in the shape of a mushroom cloud that formed in the air. The windows and doors flew out, and glass shattered and was flying in all directions.

Seeing this horrific scene, I couldn't help but cry out "Ah." Facing this calamity and seeing the broken glass, doors, and windows coming my way, I suddenly had this righteous thought, "I have Teacher's protection!" As soon as this thought came forth, I felt that my body was fully covered by a shield that was tightly sealed, and I was not hurt at all.

Everything was over in an instant and the streets again became quiet. I took a look around my bicycle and saw pieces of glass everywhere. Suddenly I remembered my nephew who was sitting behind me. I quickly turned my head, and even though there were many pieces of glass on his seat, he somehow remained uninjured.

I then heard a woman crying loudly on the other side of the sidewalk. I noticed that she was holding a boy about the same age as my nephew. Even though they were further away from the explosion site than we were, her little boy had passed out as a result of the explosion.

An employee from the department store then came out, and seeing that I was standing among broken glass, she was very surprised and asked me, "Are you ok?" Tears rolled down my cheeks and I replied, "I am ok. I practice Falun Gong. Our Teacher Li Hongzhi saved our lives." She was pleasantly surprised and said, "Falun Gong is truly amazing!" She then suggested getting my nephew out of his seat to make sure that he was unharmed. After I got him out and took a look at him, I saw that he was fine and was not even scared. I felt relieved.

I then turned around to look at the bus and saw that all that was left was the frame, with no one visible on the bus. There were, however, a few dismembered arms lying on the street. I also saw that not more than 10 meters from me, windows on the second floor of the department store were completely shattered, and across the road, only a few dozen meters away, a few windows in a building were broken as well.

After I got home, I told my family about the accident and that we were safe and sound, all because of benevolent Teacher, who saved our lives. Hearing this, our whole family knelt down in front of Teacher's portrait to show their appreciation.

Prior to this incident, I had run into many perilous situations. However, each time I had remained safe under Teacher's protection.

Recalling what Teacher said in Zhuan Falun,

"If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe."

Through this incident, I have again witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa and Teacher's compassion, which has been encouraging me to be more steadfast in my Dafa cultivation.
