(Minghui.org) I believe that if we truly see ourselves as Dafa disciples when we encounter sickness karma, we will surely get through it. The degree that we believe in Master and Fa will effect not only the outcome, but the entire process of how we approach this most crucial test.

Below are two examples of how fellow practitioners in our area dealt with virtually the same sickness karma.

Ms. Wei, who is in her 50s; another practitioner; and I went to the local supermarket on October 1, 2014.

Ms. Wei suddenly got weak in the knees, collapsed, and felt like vomiting. However, we all remained unmoved, and the other practitioner and I told her, “Everything that's happening to you is an illusion created by the old forces. They want you to think that you are ill.

“Let's recite, 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' Since Master is always with us, everything will turn out well!”

Ms. Wei couldn't stand, so the other practitioner and I held her, and a girl helped us get her to a nearby chair.

People started to gather around, curious. Several suggested that we call 911, while one man told exclaimed, “Lay her flat on the floor right now; do not move her!” Since we all held righteous thoughts, we were certain that there was no cause for alarm.

A staff member came to check her pulse, but Ms. Wei assured her she was fine.

Ms. Wei then saw a picture of Master Li in her mind and felt that Master was strengthening her. She felt a powerful burst of energy exploding inside her, which immediately corrected the situation.

She stood up, took a few steps, and calmly said, “I am good now.” She looked perfectly normal again!

We walked back home knowing that it was our righteous thoughts and Master's strengthening of our resolve that decisively defeated the old force's arrangements.

However, we did regret not clarifying the truth to those who had witnessed the incident.

Not long after, Ms. Jin, 72, was faced with a very similar sickness karma. While visiting a fellow practitioner's home, she felt dizzy and nauseous. After vomiting several times, Ms. Jin collapsed on the practitioner's bed.

Ms. Jin then said that her vision was getting very blurry. Several practitioners and I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the meddling factors in other dimensions.

We told her, “Everything that you're experiencing has been arranged by the old forces. It's all an illusion, and none of us should be moved!”

However, she was convinced that she was indeed sick and asked us to take her home.

When her husband saw her, he became visibly alarmed. We did our best to comfort him, saying, “She'll be okay; she just needs a little rest.”

Ms. Jin then said that she wanted to see all of her children. After arriving and seeing that their mother was okay, they started to leave.

However, Ms. Jin panicked and asked them to call 911. A doctor told her that she had suffered a brain hemorrhage and needed lots of rest. He then gave her a prescription drug to take.

While bedridden, Ms. Jin dutifully took her medicine, as others took care of her every need. A month later, not only was she unable to walk, but she had also lost her eyesight! Thus, she could not read the Fa, nor could she attend group Fa study.

Master said,

“As true practitioners, we should look at issues from a very high level instead of from the perspective of everyday people. Should you believe that you are ill, this may really cause you to become ill. This is because once you assume that you are ill, your xinxing level will be as high as that of everyday people. Qigong practice and true cultivation practice will not lead to illness, particularly under this condition. It is known that what actually causes people to become ill is seventy percent psychological and thirty percent physiological. Typically, one experiences a mental breakdown, the mind cannot handle it, and one suffers a heavy mental burden before the illness’ condition drastically worsens. It is usually like this.” (Zhuan Falun)

In conclusion, if we are unable to see ourselves as practitioners or maintain righteous thoughts while faced with a tribulation, it is possible that some of us will lose our lives.

If this happens, it will be a great loss to the Fa-rectification.

I did not write this sharing to blame my fellow practitioners for not cultivating well. Rather, I wrote it to remind myself and others that maintaining righteous thoughts at all times is critical to our own consummation, as well as our sacred mission of saving sentient beings!
