(Minghui.org) A man who did research in Zhou Yi once told me my fortune using the eight trigrams. He predicted that I would die of lung disease. Luckily, I obtained Falun Dafa, which has changed my fate!

Falun Dafa is a cultivation system that teaches the righteous Fa. Cultivators may face many unpredictable tribulations. Cultivators, whenever tribulations appear, should recall that this is likely Master helping us cleanse our bodies, repay our karma, and improve our xinxing. These ordeals help Dafa practitioners return to their original, true selves.

When I experienced illnesses and other various aches and pains, I did not view them as illnesses, because I knew that Master had already cleansed my body. Therefore, my body recovered quickly, became relaxed and light, and my mood improved.

The First Tribulation: Ignoring the Symptoms

My chest appeared to swell during the second half of 2009. There were sounds of accumulated water tossing about in my chest. My heart felt so uncomfortable, as though it had shifted position, and my upper body felt as though it had been tied up with metal wires. Many small red dots appeared on my skin all over my body, front and back, and on all four limbs. When I scratched the red dots, yellow liquid oozed out. The liquid would then turn red, making it painful and itchy. Actually, this was the process of expelling large amounts of poisonous gas from my sweat pores. When my family saw my condition, they wanted to take me to a hospital.

Master said:

“True cultivators have no illnesses...” (“Explaining the Fa for the Falun Dafa Assistants in Changchun,” Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa)

I want to be a true cultivator. Since I do not have any illness, I do not need to go to the hospital. From the Fa principles, I knew that all the hardship that a person suffers, and all the illnesses and pain come from their karma. This type of karma has accumulated through many lifetimes.

Common folk call these symptoms “measles” or “smallpox,” which requires the patient to abstain from certain food, and stay out of the wind. However, I did not abstain from anything. I still did everything that I needed to do, and the small red spots gradually disappeared. When my family saw this, they were moved and felt that Dafa was truly amazing. They agreed that if I were to get treated at the hospital, who knows how much money would have been spent, and I may have lost my money and my life. Under benevolent Master’s care and protection, I overcame this big tribulation.

The Second Tribulation: Being in the Wrong

My granddaughter and I were the only ones at home during a time in the second half of 2019. One morning, I woke up my granddaughter to get ready to go to school. She could not get up and I became anxious, and shouted fiercely, “Wake up!” Instantly, a gust of air streamed into my brain and I felt my brain swell up. My whole head and face were filled with red and swollen bumps that were painful and itchy. My right eye became so swollen that I could not see anything, my left eye swelled until only a seam was left, my heartbeat raced, and I felt other symptoms as well.

I knew that I was wrong: a cultivator should not lose his temper. Therefore, I persisted in watching Master’s lecture videos and listening to Master’s lectures every morning after I finished the morning exercises. After that I did my daily chores. In the afternoon, I studied Master’s main book Zhuan Falun. After dinner, I continued to watch Master’s lecture videos and listen to Master’s lectures. I understood that only by assimilating to Dafa would I be able to overcome this tribulation.

One week later, my son-in-law returned. When he saw that my head, face, and eyes were all swollen, he became frightened. I told him that they were already much better. Thirty days later, my sister-in-law saw me and asked, “Sis, why is your face swollen?” To a normal person, this would seem to be a very serious case. But as a cultivator, I did not treat it as an illness; it was my own karma that caused this tribulation, so I needed to repay it.

Under the protection of Master and Dafa, my body recovered.

The Third Tribulation: Maximum Tolerance

I once again felt pain in my chest in late 2019. I could not differentiate if the pain was coming from my lungs, my heart, or my stomach. It was as if I had reached the "might as well end my life" state. When a person reaches their maximum tolerance for pain, most people will think about dying because everything will be relieved once the person dies.

“To let go of one’s life and death” may be easy to speak about but what is the concept of truly “letting go of one’s life and death”? From this tribulation, I understood that letting go of one’s life and death includes two aspects. As one lets go of “death,” one must also let go of “life.” This means that I do not think about the problems that are related to life and death, but just look within myself amid the tribulation, cultivate myself, withstand the hardship that I am supposed to withstand, pay back the portion of karma that I am supposed to pay back, and leave everything to Master’s arrangement!

When one reaches this understanding in cultivation, will death still be a problem? My existence is to validate Dafa as a correct and supernatural science. I need to let those people around me who do not understand the truth about Dafa, understand the truth and not be fooled by the evil Party’s propaganda and defamation of the practice.

On the surface, it looked like nothing was wrong with me. No one knew what I was going through. Even those practitioners whom I often hung out with did not notice any differences in me. But Master watched over me as I went through this tribulation.

After the Wuhan virus outbreak, Master published his new lecture Stay Rational. Master’s Fa came in time to help me increase my righteous thoughts. Only when I shared my latest tribulation with fellow practitioners at the small Fa study group did they know that I had once again overcome a big tribulation, a big tribulation that involved life and death.

Through this tribulation, I had my own personal experience about the segments in Master’s Zhuan Falun which talked about the story of the Tangshan earthquake and the examples that Master cited about how to suffer beyond the normal threshold.

When my neighbors see me, they now say that the more I live, the younger I become. When my granddaughter’s (15 years old this year) kindergarten principal saw me, she said, “You are still the same. You don’t seem to age at all.”

If not for the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) television and other media’s defamatory news about Falun Dafa, there would be more people cultivating and gaining benefit from Dafa! People’s health would improve and their character and virtue would improve too! Cultivating Dafa brings only benefits to the country, to families, and to individuals!

I hope that all the people who have an affinity with Dafa can understand the truth about Falun Dafa quickly so that they can choose a wonderful future for themselves and their family members.
