(Minghui.org) After I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1998, I witnessed Dafa’s miraculous power many times. I would like to share one such incident to show my gratitude to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa. Perhaps my story can encourage other practitioners.
In January 2021, I was hurrying down the stairs with a large load of bedsheets. The laundry blocked my view, and I missed the last step. My whole body weight landed on my right foot. With the sound of “ka-ka-ka,” I fell on the floor.
The sole of my right foot was turned upward. Right away, I moved my foot back to its correct position. I wanted to put the broken bone back into place. Meanwhile, I said to myself: “It is fine, Master, help me! Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I repeated this over and over again while I massaged my foot.
My husband was so scared he was in tears. I smiled at him and said, “It’s nothing. Don’t forget I am a cultivator. I have Master protecting me!” My husband helped me stand up. The pain in the injured foot was so bad that I could not put pressure on it, so I sat on the bed.
My son and daughter-in-law came to my room. They urged me to go to the hospital just to get it looked at. I said, “I am not going to the hospital. You go on and do what you need to do. I am fine; I have Master and Dafa. I know what I am doing; don’t you worry!”
While watching my swelling foot turn purple, they tried to persuade me again. I did not yield. They walked away grumbling, “If you don’t see a doctor right away, what are you going to do if gets worse?”
It was clear to me that I would be fine. If I listened to my family, I would end up in the hospital. They might even make me have surgery and complicate my recovery. It was also a test of how much I truly believe in Master.
I calmed down and stopped thinking about the endless household chores. Even though I could not sit in the lotus position, I meditated. The pain was gone. With a serene mind, I thought about my current state of cultivation. After my husband and I moved in with our son’s family, I devoted my days to the family. There were endless household chores. Cultivation was put aside. Master used subtle ways to point this out, but I never realized it. This accident was a warning to me!
For the next three days, I spent time studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts. I did not get better. During those three days, I begged Master to fix my bones, destroy the evil spirits that harmed me, and give them my pain. Perhaps that was why my foot did not hurt. Master must have endured much of my pain, too.
As long as I remained seated, my foot did not hurt; the pain was unbearable if I tried to stand. I had to crawl to the bathroom. I thought, “This will not do; how can I validate the power of Dafa like this?!” I began to send forth righteous thoughts. At the thought of, “I am a powerful deity, my body is humongous,” my whole body shook. It suddenly came to me: “I am a deity! I am a protector of the great Dafa of the universe! I am Master’s disciple, I have powerful abilities myself.” There is no need to beg Master to fix my bone, I can do it myself!
I thought: “My broken bones, you must return to where you are supposed to be, everything must go back to normal.” I felt the power of this righteous thought.
Afterwards, when I studied the Fa, I read:
“My fashen will protect you until you are able to protect yourself. At that time, you will cultivate in Beyond-Triple-World-Fa, and you will have already achieved the Tao.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
Master again pointed out the meaning behind the Fa to me. I believe I have full control over my body, including any ailment. With strong righteous thoughts, I was able to walk four days after the injury. The pain when I walked was no longer that bad. The broken bones went back to where they belong. With tear-filled eyes, I thanked Master and Dafa.
My family members were happy for me: “You recovered so quickly!” I said, “I am different, I have Master watching over me.”
What I want to say is that Dafa practitioners are powerful; we have the ability to protect ourselves. With our abilities, we can avoid harmful things the evil attempts to do to us and lessen any damage it can create for Dafa.
This is my personal understanding at my current level. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate. I hope we can all go back to our celestial worlds with Master.
