Believing in Master and the Fa: Overcoming Life and Death Tribulation

(Minghui.org) I am an elderly Falun Dafa practitioner who started practicing in October 1995. I have experienced the happiness of overcoming various tribulations through steadfastly believing in Master and the Fa, and looking inward. Many amazing things have happened while walking on my cultivation path. I decided to share one such amazing happening with my fellow practitioners.

When on my way home from clarifying the facts about Dafa, a practitioner and I experienced a violent storm one day in the summer of 2017. The practitioner rushed to a bank nearby to shelter from the rain. Because I was walking behind, I opened my umbrella. A gust of wind blew me and my umbrella up. In the rush, I let go of the umbrella and fell to the ground.

The practitioner rushed toward me and helped me climb behind the embankment. There were many people already there to shelter from the storm, and they thought I had broken something, but I was fine, and surprisingly my clothes were not wet.

Experiencing a Life and Death Tribulation

Not long after returning home, I noticed a hard lump inside my right breast. I didn’t think much of it, and just continued doing the three things every day.

However, the lump grew bigger, and after some time weighed five to six pounds. I slept like I was holding a pillow, and it was difficult to turn over. My weight dropped rapidly by more than 10 pounds, I didn’t look well, and lost my appetite.

My eldest daughter was terrified and wanted to take me to the hospital. I told her I’m not sick, “I’m a Dafa disciple, Master is in charge. The hospital can’t cure me.” My daughter said my situation was very dangerous, and the doctor she consulted said it could be cancer.

But I was not afraid at all. I kept Master’s Fa in my mind.

Master said,

“Live, seeking nothingDie, not desiring to stayFrantic thoughts all washed awayBuddhahood not hard to attain”(“Nonexistence,” Hong Yin)

“A Great Enlightened One fears no hardshipHaving forged an adamantine willFree of attachment to living or dyingHe walks the path of Fa-rectificationconfident and poised”(“Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions”, Hong Yin Volume II)

Old Forces' Persecution

I knew that this was the old forces persecuting me and interfering with my cultivation. I would not acknowledge the persecution. I must follow Master and cultivate well. So, I did the three things as usual, and looked inward to see what attachments I had not removed that let the evil take advantage of a loophole. I found that I had many attachments, such as jealousy, resentment, and contempt for others, so I decided to get rid of them.

One day I thought, my cultivation was not good—can I still do it? At that moment a voice told me, “You can do it.” I was shocked and immediately felt energized. If Master said I can do it, I will definitely be able to do it. I will walk on the path arranged by Master.

That night, the lump in my right breast began to shrink. My breast began to bleed heavily, so I used a basin to catch it. Slowly, the lump became smaller. I used a breast pad to block it and went out to clarify the facts as usual during the day. The bleeding continued for more than two months, and there were several holes under my breasts. Now, I have recovered.

My children were surprised and shocked to see the process of my recovery. They witnessed the miracle of Dafa, and all support me in my Dafa cultivation.

Now, I understand that as long as we let go of the attachment to life and death and firmly believe in Master and Dafa, there is no hurdle we cannot overcome. I am deeply grateful for Master’s compassion!
