Dangers Avoided by Looking Within

(Minghui.org) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for over 20 years and have encountered many ups and downs on my cultivation journey. Whenever problems occurred, I firstly thought of Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) and looked within. Sometimes, when I didn’t handle things well and blamed others, similar problems occurred, until I had the righteous thought of admitting my omissions and looking within.

Police “Helped” Gather People to Hear the Truth

In 2009, I made a living by providing a taxi service on my electric tricycle. I was waiting at the bus station for customers when a group of police officers, who had been following me, arrested me in front of the crowd. I resisted and shouted, “The police take good people away!” Many people had gathered around, but the police still put me in a car and took me to a detention center.

On the way to there, I thought to myself, “Master, I will change if I did something wrong. I shouldn’t let these officers commit crimes by persecuting Dafa practitioners.” I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the old forces in other dimensions.

Surprisingly, the detention center refused to accept me as they said I was in poor health because I was breathing awkwardly and heavily. The officer who brought me in explained that it was because I had resisted being arrested. However, the detention center guard still refused to accept me. The police had no choice but to take me back to the bus station and release me.

The crowd at the bus station saw me coming back and they all gathered around to ask what was going on. I stood in the middle of them and started to tell them why I was arrested. I told them that Falun Dafa teaches people to live according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and how Jiang Zemin’s (former CCP leader) regime persecuted Falun Dafa and fabricated the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident to frame Falun Dafa. They all listened quietly.

If it wasn’t for the police arresting me, I would never have be able to have so many people gather around and listen to me clarify the truth. Without Master’s protection, I wouldn’t have been able to return so quickly.

Another time, I was stopped by the traffic police while riding my tricycle on a main road. The officer told me that the tricycle was not allowed on that road and took away my key. I looked within and told Master I must have done something wrong; I needed to find it and rectify it. Soon after, the police returned my key and just told me not to ride my tricycle on that road anymore. I thanked him and rode away.

Avoided Fatal Landing

At one time I worked on a construction site. It was really dark and I fell three floors. My first thought was, “Please help me, Master. I can’t land head first. It’d be best if I could turn 180 degrees with my feet facing the ground.”

The entire fall took less than two seconds but I thought a lot as I fell. As I was falling, I felt one arm touch the stairs, which turned my body. When I landed, I had really turned around and my left foot touched the ground first as I had hoped for. If my head had hit the ground it would have surely been fatal.

People at the scene were worried and gathered around me. After they saw that I was fine, they were relieved. However, my left leg hurt and my calf was swollen. The boss insisted on taking me to the hospital. I told him, “I’ll be fine. Please just take me home.”

I studied the Fa at home to find and rectify my omissions. I was sitting on the bed one day studying the Fa, while my son played next to me. He accidentally stepped on my injured leg. It was so painful that I sweated profusely. I picked up a towel and smacked him, saying, “Why don’t you look where you’re going? You jumped on my injured leg.”

This frightened my son, and I immediately realized I made a mistake. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and should not blame others when things go wrong. Since I did not do well that time, the same incident happened again two days later. My son was frightened since he knew he did the same thing again. It was really painful, but I told my son with smile, “Please don’t be afraid. Dad won’t blame you.”

I studied the Fa and did the exercises at home for a month and my leg fully recovered. I went to work as usual and no one could tell that my left leg had been injured.

Situation Changed When My Mind Changed

I was riding my tricycle when a young man, riding a motorcycle in the wrong direction, bumped into me and fell down. After he got up, he blamed me for the accident. I argued with him, saying that he was going the wrong way and shouldn’t blame me.

An elderly man, who had seen what happened, accused me, saying, “You weren’t paying attention, you should compensate him.”

I realized that as a practitioner I should look within when accidents happen, instead of blaming others. I changed my attitude and took out all the money I had. “I only have 50 yuan on me. Please use it to repair your motorcycle,” I responded.

Surprisingly, the elderly man immediately changed his tone and said, “He was riding the wrong way and hit you. It’s his fault and he blamed you. You shouldn’t give him money. It’s not your fault.” 

The motorcyclist took the money and left. People watching said it was not my responsibility and praised me for being such a good person.

Uninjured After Car Crash

My family of four were in a car on the way to my relatives. My wife was driving and I was in the passenger seat. The car suddenly went out of control on the highway and drove into the other lane, hitting a car and crashing into the guardrail in the middle of the highway. The car took out more than ten meters of guardrail, spun around and stopped on its side with the driver’s side facing the ground and the wheels still spinning at high speed.

My wife took the key out of the ignition and we all crawled out through the available doors. Glass was everywhere and the car was totaled. Luckily, the car we hit did not tip over and those inside weren’t injured.

My wife and I had some scratches on our necks from the seat belts. One of our children only had minor scratches; the other was fine, just crying from fright.

The police arrived 20 minutes later. They saw the scary scene and asked us anxiously, “Where are the people who were in that car?” I told them it was us. The officer was skeptical, and asked, “Is everyone ok?”

I told him we were fine. He was really surprised, and commented, “It’s good that you’re safe. I saw an accident like this before and all the people in the car died. This really is a miracle!”
