(Minghui.org) I’m a Dafa practitioner who started practicing Falun Dafa three years ago, and I still have a rather shallow understanding of the Fa principles. However, I have already experienced the extraordinary power of Dafa on a couple of occasions, which I would like to share.
I was driving to my hometown, which is over 900 km (about 560 miles) from where I live, at the end of April. When I was about 150 km (93 miles) away from my destination, my dashboard indicator showed my car was almost out of gas, and I needed to fill up very soon. I found a gas station, but the queue was too long, so I drove to the next one, but it had run out of gas. The next gas station was 25 km (16 miles) away.
On my way there, four cars crashed into each other very close to me, and I narrowly escaped. I knew that Master was protecting me. I kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” the whole time I was driving.
I felt increasingly worried that my car would most definitely run out of gas before I could reach the next gas station. I kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and said in my heart, “Master, please help me.”
Somehow, I took the wrong route. I then saw a small gas station, with only a few cars. I couldn’t believe how close this gas station was to the last one.
Quickly, I filled up my tank and still couldn’t believe my luck. I pinched myself, just to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming. Tears swelled up my eyes, and my heart was filled with deep gratitude to Master for helping me out of such a desperate situation. How could it be possible that a gas station suddenly appeared in front of me? I couldn’t help but be in complete awe of the miraculous power of Dafa.
After I filled up my car, I was exhausted from driving so long without a break and found it hard to keep going. So I recited Master’s new articles aloud and kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in my heart. Not long after, I felt refreshed and invigorated, and my fatigue was completely gone. I arrived home safe and sound.
This experience helped me realize that Master is always by my side, helping and protecting me. I made up my mind that I would study the Fa more often and cultivate more diligently because I want to be a true Dafa practitioner and assist Master in saving more sentient beings.
After breakfast this past October, I switched on my gas stove and started heating up some leftover corn. I turned the gas up high so the corn would heat up faster because I wanted to leave early to go to a fellow practitioner’s place. I left home at around 7:45 to catch a bus and forgot all about the corn.
The practitioner wasn’t home, so I went to another practitioner’s. We studied the Fa in the morning and went out to clarify the truth in the afternoon. Then I took a bus home and arrived at 4:00 p.m.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed the whole place was filled with a strong smell of burning. I rushed to the kitchen, which was as hot as a steam room. I switched off the stove and saw that the pot was burned completely black, and the corn had turned to charcoal. The gasstove had been on high for eight hours!
My first thought was to thank Master, because without his protection, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Our gas cylinder is very close to the stove, and even the ventilator became very hot. Our kitchen had been converted from a balcony, and the ceiling was made of foam panels. Our neighbor’s balcony was also converted to a kitchen with foam panels. If a fire had broken out, it would have easily spread and engulfed everything.
I rushed to the room where I kept Master’s portrait, knelt down, and kowtowed to Master, tears streaming down my face. No words were sufficient to express my deep gratitude to Master for his immense compassion. I also felt very scared in hindsight and it took me a long time to calm down.
When I told my grandson what had happened, he, too, knelt down in front of Master’s portrait to thank Master for his compassionate protection.
Thank you, Master, for saving us all from certain disasters. I will continue to follow Master’s teachings, do the three things well and fulfill my historic vow!
