(Minghui.org) I became blind later in my life. In order to cure my disease, I learned various qigong methods and could distinguish which qigong was true and which were false. One day I went to visit one of my neighbors and she read the First Lecture of Zhuan Falun to me in 1999. I knew instantly that this was the Buddha Fa.
First Test
When I returned home that day, my husband complained that I went out and didn't cook. I remembered about “forbearance.” I reminded myself that I must practice forbearance because I am learning from the book, Zhuan Falun, which talks about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and I shouldn't behave the same as he did. As soon as I let go of the attachment, he said: “You cook rice and I'll wash dishes.” I was very happy. It is indeed miraculous. As soon as I practiced forbearance, he no longer complained. I made up my mind to cultivate until completion.
I bought a copy of Zhuan Falun and took it with me wherever I went. I asked other people to read it to me whenever I had a chance.I later bought Master's audio lectures and listened to them every day.
I have had many test since I started practicing Falun Dafa. I used to quarrel with my husband and got the upper hand every time when he didn't tell me where there were steps that I missed, and fell. I required myself to behave according to the Falun Dafa principles. One day he took me shopping. At the corner, I fell into a hole so deep that it was up to my neck. My whole body was inside it, but I was not injured. I felt like I landed on a wad of cotton. My husband was frightened when he turned and saw I was in the hole. He pulled me out. I was not angry and didn't complain. Instead I told him to take it easy because Master had protected me.
Saving Sentient Beings
One day the heating system of our neighbor upstairs leaked and water dripped from the ceiling causing all of our belongings to get wet. I was very calm and didn't complain. My whole family slept the entire night without any blankets. The next day the neighbor came and apologized to us. I said to her, “ I cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and am not angry with you. Our Master teaches us to be considerate. Please take it easy. You didn't do it on purpose.” She tried to give me some gifts but I refused. I said that our Master taught us not to be greedy. Then I told them the facts about Falun Dafa and helped them withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I gave them a Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD and they accepted it happily. Though my home was in a mess, I was very happy because two people were saved.
One day a neighbor girl took too much medicine and was sent to the hospital. She was unconscious for a whole day and night. Her family was told to prepare for her funeral. Other neighbors and I went to see her. I said to her: “You must remember Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” In the afternoon the next day she moved her mouth and was fed some water. On the third day she opened her eyes and by the eighth day she had recovered and was discharged. When she saw me, she hugged me and was very happy. I then clarified the truth to her and she quit the CCP and its affiliates.
Master Saved Me from Danger
My neighbor on the second floor forgot to turn the stove off after cooking and caused a fire in early 2013. Another neighbor rushed out with her grandson. I smelled the burning plastic and opened the door. My downstairs neighbor said that there was a fire in the building. I became anxious and asked Master for help. I kept shouting “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” A fire engine came and the firemen rushed into the flat but the fire had been extinguished, and so they left. One of the neighbors came up to get some water from my flat. She said: “That's strange. The water pipe in your kitchen had a big hole and it extinguished the fire.” I told her that I asked Master for help which resulted in the fire being put out. She smiled.
Master has been leading me in my cultivation all these years, and constantly encouraging me. With Master's strengthening, I have managed to overcome inconveniences and steadily walk on the path of cultivation with righteous thoughts, dissolved family conflicts with kind thoughts, and that has greatly touched my husband. I tried to persuade my relatives to quit the CCP with persistence and told people the facts about Falun Dafa with compassion. Because of my disability, I was not able to do all of what I wanted to do.
Though I cannot see, I can listen to Master's voice and to Minghui Weekly on the radio. I thank fellow practitioners and those kind-hearted people. Master always arranges my neighbors to lead me when I want to go out but cannot find anyone to take me. My mind is clear though my eyes are not. I am the happiest person in the world because I have obtained the Fa in this lifetime. I will follow Master and walk the final leg of my cultivation path well with fellow practitioners.
