(Minghui.org) I'm 70 years old, and I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. I stopped practicing when the Chinese Communist Party started the persecution in 1999. I resumed Fa study in 2002, but studied by myself and didn't do the three things.
I joined a Fa study group in 2009, and started doing the three things as a true practitioner. I learned how to browse the Internet and print Falun Gong informational materials, and I went out to clarify the truth to people along with other practitioners. At that time, I noticed that I had a prolapsed uterus, but it wasn't serious.
In late 2010, my husband, also a practitioner, suddenly had symptoms of a stroke, and he couldn't take care of himself. I had to spend almost all my time with him and slacked off in my cultivation.
The uterine prolapse worsened in 2012. I started to look inward, and send forth righteous thoughts. My situation didn't improve, and I finally decided to go to a hospital. The night before the surgery, I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts. In the morning, my uterus was back where it should be! I thought it was a sign that I shouldn't be in the hospital, so I left.
I passed a large quantity of yellow liquid suddenly in July 2014. I thought it was because my body was being cleansed. In mid-August, my abdomen hurt badly and my uterus dropped down.
I couldn't stand straight, couldn't sit, and couldn't walk. I couldn't do anything. I didn't know what to do, and regretted not having surgery two years prior.
I told a fellow practitioner what I thought. Surprised, she said, "This is the critical moment. You either choose the path leading you to your original home or choose the path to being an everyday person. You are a practitioner. Do you believe a hospital can cure your 'ailment?'" Her words woke me up. I carefully thought it over.
Studying the Fa Well and Always Looking Inward
I knew the first thing I should do was to study the Fa well. Master said,
“Being far away and separated by oceans, it’s not easy to meet with you. But although you can’t see me in person, as long as you practice cultivation, I’m actually right by your side. And as long as you practice cultivation, I can be responsible for you all the way to the end; what’s more, I’m looking after you every single moment.” (“Teaching the Fa in New York City”from Lectures in the United States)
I cried. Why was I still looking for ordinary solutions to solve my cultivation problems?
Master already told us about sickness and the symptoms of eliminating karma. In addition, I had cultivated for so many years, my body had been purified, so the “illness” was clearly interference from old forces, who were trying to stop me from saving sentient beings. When I enlightened to this, I completely put aside any thoughts of seeing a doctor.
I read Zhuan Falun every day and looked inward. I saw that I had so many attachments, especially many complaints about my husband. I thought he didn't do well, never looked inward, missed many chances to improve himself, and as a result, dragged me down. But when I looked inside deeper, the real reason was inside myself.
Although I studied the Fa, even memorized the Fa, whenever I encountered difficulties, I didn't act according to the Fa. I did many things to validate Dafa, but I didn't take it seriously, and forgot that as a practitioner I should look inward all the time. This was the loophole.
Sometimes my abdomen hurt so much that I couldn't concentrate on Fa study. So I tried to lie down to recite the Fa. But I soon realized that this was disrespectful. I sat upright no matter how much it hurt, and read out loud. I later slowed down, read each paragraph carefully, and recalled what I did and what I thought.
I read Zhuan Falun nearly 30 times in two months, along with other lectures. My mind became increasingly clear, just as Master said,
“With every bit of improvement in your state of mind, some bad things will be eliminated from your body.” (Lecture One from Zhuan Falun)
Doing the Exercises Intensively
Doing the exercises can change our bodies, but doing the exercises was very difficult for me. The first exercise requires stretching, but when I stretched, my abdomen hurt a lot, and my prolapsed uterus was getting heavier. To do the exercises, I made a belt to help hold the uterus.
While doing the exercises, I had to take a few breaks because of the pain, especially during the second exercise, which requires one to stand still for some time. The pain almost killed me—every second felt like a year. I recited the Fa loudly,
“When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.” (Lecture Nine from Zhuan Falun)
But the most painful thing was urinating. Because the uterus blocked the urethra, it was like torture to urinate. So I tried to eat and drink as little as possible. A fellow practitioner said that if I stopped eating and drinking, my health would be damaged, and then how could I do the exercises?
I thought, "She's right," so I started to eat and drink as normal. Because I still looked weak, fellow practitioners decided to help me practice more intensively. We started at 7:00 p.m. I had to take a break after each exercise, but they kept on encouraging me. We did the standing exercises four times and the meditation twice that night.
I felt much better. The other practitioners said, "It looks like after accompanying you to do the exercises all night, we all improved." I appreciated their efforts very much.
Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
I experienced the true power of sending forth righteous thoughts. I often couldn't focus, but after studying all of Master's lectures, I reviewed the correct way to send forth righteous thoughts, and sent righteous thoughts whenever I had time. Master said,
“I am against all that the old forces do. I don’t accept any of it. And even less so should Dafa disciples be made to endure such suffering.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2013 Greater New York Fa Conference”)
The old forces make all kinds of excuses to persecute practitioners—we should deny them completely.
We once sent forth righteous thoughts for two hours. Fellow practitioners sat surrounding me. I felt that I was surrounded by huge energy, and could feel a lot of evils in another space being eliminated. Afterward, the pain in my abdomen lessened.
Believing in Master and Dafa
Practitioners kept coming to my house for two months to share experiences with me and help me send forth righteous thoughts. Different practitioners had different suggestions. I knew that what I thought and what I did was the key, and believed that I would eventually overcome the difficulties.
No matter how the old forces persecuted me, I steadfastly believed in Master and Dafa. I kept studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and sending forth righteous thoughts. Two weeks later, the pain was gone, and I could stand up straight and walk.
However, my uterus was still prolapsed. One day a fellow practitioner who was a gynecologist came to see me. She asked me what I wanted to do. I said I wanted my uterus back in place. She said, "I can help you." So she helped me put my uterus back with a wet tissue. Thus my uterus, which had been prolapsed for two months, was back inside my body.
My experience helped me understand the Fa better,
“As long as you upgrade your xinxing, you can overcome them. Unless you, yourself do not want to do so, you can make it, provided you want to overcome them.” (Lecture Four from Zhuan Falun)
I also understood more of “forbearance.” When we have conflicts with others, as practitioners, we should tolerant. And when our bodies are suffering, we need forbearance, too. Forbearance helps us improve xinxing. Master said,
“Those ordeals and the suffering, no matter how great or harsh you find them to be, are good things, because they take place solely on account of your cultivation. A person can eliminate karma and shed human attachments when he goes through ordeals, and through ordeals he can improve.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference”)
When my xinxing improved, my body got better. I could previously meditate for 40 minutes with both legs crossed, but I can now meditate for two hours.
Without any pills or any medical treatment, and only by practicing Falun Gong, my prolapsed uterus was cured in two months. Others witnessed the miracle and now believe in Dafa. Even my maid began practicing.
I use my story as an example when I clarify the truth. I'm determined to cultivate more diligently.
