(Minghui.org) I became a Falun Dafa practitioner because I witnessed how other members of my family benefited from the practice. My older sister learned the practice in 1996 and her vertigo and insomnia disappeared.
When I visited my sister, she gave me Falun Gong literature to take home for my neighbors.
In August 2002, my husband said, “This practice is quite miraculous. All I did was read some of the fliers and my herniated disk does not bother me any more! I have no pain.”
I was overwhelmed and decided to wait no more and begin to practice. I read the Falun Dafa books and learned the exercises.
For ten years, rainstorms in August caused catastrophic damage to our crops and in the whole area. While the crops on farms next to ours were flattened, our crops remained tall and healthy.
In 2012 and 2013, crops on the neighboring farms were infested with insects. The crops fell to the ground with only stalks and leaf veins left. Unlike theirs, our crops were perfectly fine.
Our harvest increased steadily every year. Our envious neighbors often asked my husband, “Why are you so lucky?” My husband answered truthfully, “We are blessed by our practice of Falun Gong. Don't envy us. Practice yourself!”
Local townspeople were convinced of Falun Dafa's miraculous power when they saw our good fortune. They welcomed Falun Dafa truth clarification literature. Local authorities who understood the facts about the illegal persecution protected practitioners from being arrested and harassed.
In 2013 I loaded my wagon, which I hitched to my ox, with a huge pile of corn stalks and sat on them so that they wouldn't fall off. I held the reins from the wagon and guided the ox carefully. Coming out of the field, I fell off the pile and into the field. The corn field was covered with corn stubble, which could have seriously cut me. Even worse, I could have been trampled by the ox and hurt badly.
Before I even hit the ground, a force supported my weight and gently laid me next to the ox's feet. He stopped sharply, and there wasn't even a scratch on me. Bystanders were amazed.
In January 2014 my husband told me to be careful of the cow we had because it was in estrus and in a foul temper. I didn't think much of it and went to feed the cows. One lifted its front legs and hit me like a hammer. It trampled me as I lay curled up. I could not breathe.
I picked up a corn stalk near me and waved it at the cow, and it backed off. Then I felt a force lift me up and place me away from the cow. I crawled away and stood up. I felt no pain and continued to give the cows water.
Three days later my son took me to a doctor, who said I had three broken ribs. He said that they would heal in three months. I believed that Falun Dafa could help me heal and it did. I completely recovered in a month.
I know that the two incidents happened for a reason: my karmic retribution and improvement in my cultivation. Despite this, Master still protected me. I realized I had many attachments, such as the attachment to money, to winning, to fame, and to zealotry.
I will progress even more diligently to take the weight off Master and repay his immense grace for me.
