(Minghui.org) My life almost came to an end in June 1995. But Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, brought me out of this ordeal and gave me a new life.
On the Brink of Death
The saddest day in my life was when my husband passed away on April 15, 1995. He was a kind and goodhearted man. However, he had been hit by a car earlier, which led to over 20 surgeries, including his left leg being amputated, so I took care of him for 15 years.
He knew he was going to die and wanted to die at home. He talked with me for three days and nights before he died. We talked about how he came to this world and why he suffered so much.
I was devastated, and looked like I was in my seventies or eighties, even though I was only in my forties. My health also deteriorated greatly. The doctors told me that there was no cure, and as I could not afford the medical expenses, I was discharged from the hospital.
My sister came from Inner Mongolia to look after me. I knew that I could not live for long, and looked forward to the day of my death, which would end my suffering.
Divine Beings Help
Then, one morning I had no pain, and thought it was a sign of my imminent death. I asked my daughter to help me walk around. “Mom is going to leave,” I said to her. “Please do not cry. It is a relief for me. Please buy some firecrackers to celebrate.”
My 15-year-old daughter was devastated, and asked me not to leave her.
“Dad is already gone,” she said. “If you leave, my life will have no meaning. I do not want to live either.” This almost broke my heart.
“Mom, you are not going to die,” she said. “You have divine beings helping you. Let's go to the park to practice qigong. Some qigong has gods and Buddhas that help them. Gods and Buddhas will save you.”
Everyone was shocked. How did a child know about gods and Buddhas? I still had a strong desire to live, because my daughter was not yet an adult.
We went to a park, where there were many qigong practices, and we did not know which one was good. I asked them one by one whether they could cure illnesses. My daughter told me not to ask, but to look for a good qigong where there were Divine Beings.
Falun Dafa Practice Felt Very Powerful
Near the park entrance, there were about 20 people doing the second exercise of the Falun Dafa cultivation practice. I followed them and held my arms above my head. A strong, warm energy enveloped me. It was very powerful, and I felt very comfortable. I told my daughter that it was a very powerful practice.
The volunteer assistant told me that Falun Dafa brings people to high levels, but that it was not for the purpose of curing illnesses.
Just before we were about to leave, some Falun Dafa books arrived. I bought two books—Falun Gong, the introductory book of Dafa, and Zhuan Falun, the main book.
My auntie, my mother-in-law, my sister, and I took turns reading the books. We almost forgot to eat, we were so engrossed.
“This is not just a qigong book,” said my mother-in-law. “It is a universal law, and helps people to cultivate to high levels. This is not an ordinary book.”
I felt as if the books were talking to me, solving my specific problems. I found answers to my questions about life, and I felt like I had awakened from a nightmare, melted into Dafa, and I forgot about my illnesses. After I read Zhuan Falun, I felt like a different person. I felt so lighthearted, and no longer felt any of my illness symptoms. I underwent fundamental physical and mental changes.
One After the Other, Entering Cultivation Practice
I went to work five days later. My neighbors, who worked in the same factory, were amazed. They asked me over and over again, “Have you really recovered? Are you really practicing Falun Dafa?”
Many of my neighbors and the community committee members began practicing Falun Dafa. We studied the Falun Dafa books together, and my manager became the volunteer assistant.
I also started a Fa-study group at my home. We shared cultivation experiences and looked for our shortcomings. We improved on our cultivation paths together.
Extraordinary Abilities
When I brought the Dafa books and Master's photo home, Master's law body appeared several times and did the large symbolic hand gestures for my daughter.
Master gave her the ability to see the past and the future. She told me why I had come down with illnesses. She told me about my past, and that I was very wicked in my previous life. I had killed many family members and maids.
“In this lifetime you have suffered terribly since your childhood due to your evilness in your past life,” she said. “Now, Master is taking care of you and bears for you the karma that you are not able to pay back.”
My daughter and I are now bathed in Master's blessings every day. We live happily and joyfully. Master hinted often that I cultivate diligently through my daughter, and we know where we came from and where we are going. I know Master has borne too much for me. I will help Master rectify the Fa, cultivate myself more diligently, and follow Master to return to my true home.
Treasuring the Time Extended for Me
The persecution of Falun Dafa started on July 20, 1999. The Chinese media framed the practice and attacked our Master. Our local practitioners thus started to step out and tell people the facts about Falun Dafa. Wherever I went, either on the train or shopping, I told them “Falun Dafa is good, and our Master is good.” I told them my personal experiences as a practitioner.
In each residential area, security was tight. Iron fences were installed, and cars and pedestrians had to enter through the main gates. The security guards watched everyone. The Community Committee assigned people to harass practitioners who lived in the residential area.
Yet this did not prevent practitioners from talking to people about Falun Dafa. Whenever I went out, I took along over 1,000 Falun Dafa pamphlets and put them outside the door of every household in the residential areas. If people happened to open the doors, I put the fliers in their hands and told them that the fliers were very precious, and that they would benefit if they read them. I asked them to pass them on to their friends and family members. They often thanked me.
It was not easy to get into a residential area. But I decided to distribute every single flier before I returned home. I sometimes left home at 8:00 a.m. and walked to every residential area. I clarified the truth about Falun Dafa face-to-face when I saw people, and left fliers outside of doors. Thanks to Master's protection, I did not feel tired. Instead, I was happy and joyful.
On my way out, I took a big bag of materials with me and covered six residential areas on one of my outings. I did not return home until 3:00 a.m. My feet were bruised and my toenails fell off several days later, but I did not feel any pain. As long as a practitioner listens to Master and meets Dafa’s requirements, he or she benefits greatly. The Fa's power will manifest in us, and Master's law bodies will protect us.
I had no sense of direction and often got lost in my childhood. But after I practiced Falun Dafa, no matter where I went or how far I walked, Master always led me home.
When I took a lot of Dafa materials with me, I went from one building to another, and covered one residential area after another. Even if it was raining and I was wet, I remained happy and content in my heart. With Master's help, I managed to find my way home and arrive on time.
I will cultivate myself well and keep up with the progress of the Fa rectification. I will try my best to validate the Fa, talk to people about Dafa, and be worthy of Master's salvation.
