(Minghui.org) Two years ago, while visiting a friend and former coworker, I learned from him that my former manager and superiors at work praised me and kept telling others that Falun Gong practitioners are admirable and display high morality, even after I had left the company. Looking back at my cultivation while working at the company, I vividly recall an unforgettable experience.
I started working at the company in 2003 and frequently had to work night shifts with extended hours. It was after one o'clock one night when I finally got off work and was ready to take a hot shower before going to bed in my dormitory. As I went to get the hot water with a coworker, she accidentally dropped the bucket, spilling boiling water on my left leg.
I screamed out in immense pain. As I pulled up my pants to check the injury, my skin stuck to my pants, and blood ran down my leg. My coworker was scared and burst into tears. Upon hearing what happened, other coworkers came and were going to get an ambulance for me. I told them that I was okay and did not need to go to the hospital. Then I comforted my coworker and told her not to worry about me and that Falun Gong would help me recover. After a while, my coworkers carried me back to my dorm. That night my leg felt like it was being burned over a fire, and yellow liquid kept oozing from the wound.
The next morning, my superiors in the company came to my dorm upon hearing about my injury. They urged me to get medical treatment at the hospital. I told them about my practicing Falun Gong and that it would help me recover from the injury. I also told them that it was just a freak accident and not my coworker's fault at all.
While staying at the company's dorm room in the following few days, I could not remain calm when I studied the Fa and did the exercises. My situation did not improve, and I could not even use the bathroom due to the severe pain. On the seventh day, I asked my husband to take me home.
I kept up my Fa study every day, although initially I could only do the exercises for a little over ten minutes before I was soaked in tears and sweat. On the third day at home, I could do more than 20 minutes. As the pain became sharp and unbearable, I would recite Master's teaching, “When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.” (Zhuan Falun) By the fifth day, I could finish all five sets of exercises. By the eighth day, I could walk by myself, and the wound started to form a scab.
A pharmacist friend of mine visited me and told me my injury would have been diagnosed as a third degree burn and cost about 4,000 yuan in medical expenses. She said, “You did not have any medication or treatment for such a severe burn. It is truly amazing!” I told her, “How could this be possible if it were not for my practice of Falun Gong? I hope you and others can now see that 'Falun Gong is good' and not be deceived by the Chinese Communist Party's lies and propaganda.”
Within 25 days of my injury, the scab disappeared and did not leave any scar on my leg. The skin was as smooth as new. When I returned to work, my supervisors and coworkers all marveled at my recovery and kept saying “Falun Gong is good!”
In China, when someone is the victim of an injury, not only will they seek regular compensation at work or from the one at fault, they often try to exploit the situation for as much gain as possible. Falun Gong teaches us not to take advantage of others and to treat such situations as tests in our cultivation. Relying on righteous principles leads to an even greater outcome. It is not surprising to me that this left a deep impression on my supervisors.
