(Minghui.org) My life used to be difficult, and I had little money. I needed to earn money to send the kids to school, pay my father-in-law’s medical bills, and pay another debt. I worked day and night, and I was always exhausted. There was no peace at home, either, because I was also constantly pressured and harassed by my sisters and brothers-in-law.
After the deaths of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, my family of three had to leave town to find work. I sewed clothing for six years. My vision began deteriorating after years of sewing all night. My vision finally got to the point that I couldn't see clearly. I also began having stomach and heart problems.
On Chinese New Year, the landlord's daughter-in-law invited me for a walk. I told her that I had trouble seeing and would rather stay home. She gently insisted, however, so we took a walk to a small shop. The shop owner greeted us and invited us to her home, where she was playing Master Li's video lecture in Dalian. I listened and very much liked what I heard.
From listening to the lecture, I understood that our illnesses and conflicts were caused by karma from past lifetimes. Although my vision was bad, I clearly saw Master in the video. I saw him looking at me and saying that the Fa is delivered to your doorstep, you need to cultivate. If you don’t cultivate now, you might lose this opportunity.
I brought a copy of Zhuan Falun home and started practicing. When I did exercise five (Strengthening Divine Powers) and put my legs into the lotus position, it was very painful, and I sweat so much that my clothes were wet. After listening to Master’s nine-day lecture series, my eyes returned to normal.
I practiced exercise two (Falun Standing Stance) outside one day without wearing gloves. The weather was the coldest in northeast China that winter, and my hands ached, but I completed the exercise. When I did the exercise the next day, my hands started steaming. I didn’t feel cold at all and it was amazing!
I have since practiced the exercises and studied the Fa every day. I do everything according to the Fa and try to be a good person. All my illnesses have disappeared. I'm happy all the time and I am filled with a joy that can not be described in words.
Magical Things Have Happened During Fa-rectification Cultivation
The persecution of Falun Gong destroyed our peaceful cultivation environment. But I continued to practice when I returned to my hometown. I explained how wonderful Falun Gong is when people misunderstood after listening to the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) slander. I talked about my cultivation experience and told them that Dafa asks people to be good.
I met some fellow practitioners in early 2007 and began participating in Fa-rectification projects to save sentient beings. I encountered a lot of amazing things.
In 2008, a strong wind began blowing. It was a sandstorm, and it got so dark that I could not see in front of me. I was not afraid, however. I kept riding my bike and continued distributing Dafa booklets. Suddenly, I saw a light in front of my bike and the little booklets were glowing. I knew that Master was there, protecting me.
On another day, I was scheduled to distribute Dafa flyers after dinner. While I was preparing dinner, I spilled boiling water on my feet. It hurt, but I remembered that I was a Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioner, and no one could stop me from going out. I ignored the pain and went out to distribute the flyers as usual. As a result my feet were fine.
We own a vegetable stall, and one day our money was stolen. I told Master, “It could be that I owed this person a debt from another lifetime.” If that was the case, I had now repaid the debt. If not, he committed a crime because he stole money intended for Dafa and he had to return it.
Two months later, someone quietly returned the money. My husband was very surprised when he saw the pink bag with all the money inside.
Whenever I didn't study the Fa diligently I experienced illness interference. It was really bad on one occasion, and I was constantly dizzy. Sending righteous thoughts did not help, so other practitioners helped me to send forth righteous thoughts. It worked for a few days, but then I got dizzy again.
Finally, I regained my righteous thoughts. I loudly told the evil, “Listen to me carefully. I'm Master Li Hongzhi's disciple, I am here to validate the Fa. My Master does not allow you to persecute me, and you will be destroyed if you continue.” As soon as I said that, the dizziness disappeared.
I know that studying the Fa well is the foundation for saving more sentient beings. We should study diligently and to be qualified Dafa practitioners.
