My Pain Vanished After My Righteous Thoughts Arose

(Minghui.org) Before I practiced Falun Dafa I was a weak and sick woman. My diseases included serious stomach ulcers, uterine bleeding, and a lumbar disc herniation. My platelet count was one-third of the level of a normal, healthy person. I took many kinds of medicine, but none of them relieved my symptoms. My face looked as pale as ash. 

A kind colleague of mine told me about Falun Dafa. I thought I would give it a try and went to learn the exercises at a group exercise site. To my surprise, my body felt light after doing the exercises for less than three weeks. It was exactly like how Master described: 

“If you can just do the exercises in that field, you’re better off than if you had your health problem treated.” (The Third Talk, Zhuan Falun) 

I was shaken by the power of Falun Dafa and started a journey of cultivation. I experienced symptoms of karma elimination several times, but each time I held strong faith in Falun Dafa, and my symptoms were gone after a couple of days each time. My health became better and better.

One incident left a deep impression on me, because it lasted longer than usual. During the winter seven years ago, I was working overtime a lot and skipped Fa study and exercises. A sharp pain developed in my neck that was so painful I couldn’t move or study the Fa. I couldn’t do anything except endure the terrible pain.

When my righteous thoughts dwindled, my human notions went wild. My condition worsened over the next 20 days. My family continuously urged me to see a doctor.

My husband took me to a hospital on a weekend. Every doctor was at the hospital, except the specialist that I needed to see. I realized that nothing happens for no reason, so Master must be trying to enlighten me to something. I couldn’t just leave the hospital though, because my husband was with me. We waited for almost an hour. Then I saw a fellow practitioner. He happened to be accompanying an elderly parent at the hospital. He asked me what I was there for. I awakened to the fact that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and that coming to see a doctor while eliminating karma was an indication of my attachment to the notion of illness. I asked myself what the root of my attachment was. Wasn’t it due to a lack of faith?

I stood up and started to leave. My husband asked me if I would like to come back later. I replied decisively, “No!” Because my righteous thoughts had increased, my pain disappeared the same day. I could do everything normally the following day.

This experience fully convinced me of the importance of having righteous thoughts and how strong faith serves as the foundation for righteous thoughts.
