(Minghui.org) I am an 80-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from the countryside and have been cultivating in Dafa for 26 years. Over these past two decades, I have transformed from someone plagued by illness into a healthy cultivator. I want to share my experience of regaining my eyesight with you.

One morning in August 2023, while I was working in the vegetable field, I suddenly lost vision in my left eye. I had previously suffered facial paralysis that hadn’t fully recovered, causing my right eyelid to droop, restricting my vision. Now with my left eye affected, I still had to prepare materials every week. What could I do? I was very anxious. Then I thought: It’s okay. Master is helping purify my eyes. Before cultivation, my eyes would become bloodshot every August—a condition commonly known as “pink eye.”

After losing my vision, I listened to Master’s teachings every day. When sending righteous thoughts, I would affirm: “My body is free of illness; I am under Master’s care. Should attachments arise, I will correct myself through the Fa. Evil is unworthy to test me.” Fellow practitioners reminded me to look within to rectify anything that was not based on the Fa.

I suddenly remembered something I said six months ago: “I’m getting older and I’m not very educated, so producing truth-clarifying materials is a bit difficult for me. Could the younger practitioners handle it? I don’t want to do it anymore.” A fellow practitioner said, “Perhaps what you said wasn’t in line with the Fa.”

I was resentful about the reminder from fellow practitioners, thinking to myself: “Even though I said those things, I never just gave up. I’ve been making truth-clarifying materials all along.” My mind was churning!

So why did I consider stopping the production of materials? By 2023, I’d been making materials for nearly ten years, but things never went smoothly. Either the printer malfunctioned, or the print quality was poor, forcing me to frequently visit fellow practitioners in the county town for help. The repeated trips fostered feelings of inadequacy within me, yet I still failed to quiet my mind, look inward, and identify my own shortcomings.

These matters, while appearing to be printer and printing issues, are actually cultivation issues. The Minghui manuals “Building a Materials Site from Scratch” and “Cultivate Your Xinxing Before Fixing the Machine” both emphasize the cultivation involved in producing materials.

Faced with my persistent focus solely on machine maintenance, fellow practitioners in the county town also suggested, “Could we find younger practitioners to handle this? You have limited education and are older in age.” Here, I’m not blaming the county practitioners. What I mean to express is: I often trouble fellow practitioners, which has led to my feelings of inferiority.

Subconsciously, I also harbored complaints—why don’t the younger practitioners take on this task? Only after discussing this with fellow practitioners while writing this article did I realize: It was because I was only looking at the surface issue that this inferiority complex arose, leading fellow practitioners to suggest finding younger practitioners to handle the materials.

Realizing that my words and thoughts were not in line with the Fa, I immediately went to Master’s portrait: Master, I was wrong. From now on, I will truly believe in Master and the Fa, cultivate myself well, do what I should do, and run the materials site well.

During this process, I also discovered within myself an unwillingness to be told what to do, a stubborn character, a combative nature, jealousy, resentment, and other human attachments. After identifying these issues, I continually corrected myself through the Fa. After twenty days, my left eye regained its sight! Thank you, Master!

If I hadn’t begun cultivating Dafa, I can hardly imagine whether I would still be alive today. In this rare, once-in-a-millennium era, I feel so fortunate and blessed to have become a Dafa disciple, entrusted with the noble mission of creating truth materials to help save and enlighten people around the world!

Since then, my work with the materials production has been going smoothly.
