[Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day] Injured in a Car Accident, 70-Year-Old Woman’s Recovery Overturns Conventional Wisdom

(Minghui.org) Master said, “When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family benefits.” (“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,” Explaining the Teachings of Zhuan Falun)

Practicing Falun Dafa not only benefits oneself, but also the practitioner’s family and those who know that Falun Dafa is good. My wife’s recovery after a serious car accident is testimony to this fact.

Multiple Fractures After Being Hit by a Car

My wife was crossing the road when she was hit by a taxi on August 23, 2023. She was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. After examining her scans, the doctor said both femurs were fractured, her pelvis sustained a comminuted fracture; there were four fractures in her left ribs, two fractures in her right ribs, and her left shoulder and clavicle were fractured. Her pelvic fracture was deemed the most dangerous, as heavy bleeding from that injury could result in death from excessive blood loss. My wife was admitted to the intensive care unit for emergency treatment, and the hospital issued her immediate family a critical condition notice.

I was very anxious after I was told about my wife’s condition. I looked inward to see what caused this major tribulation. After carefully recalling my recent cultivation activities, I was shocked to realize that my wife and I led a leisurely life after we retired. We played mahjong, and traveled to scenic locations. I’d practiced Falun Dafa for years, but after I retired, I unconsciously relaxed the strict requirements I previously upheld—I treated cultivation like a mundane task that I did as part of my retirement.

Although she does not practice Falun Dafa, my wife is supportive of my practice, believes in Dafa and Master, and often recites “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” With my wife hospitalized, I immediately increased the length of time I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts to clear the dimensional field surrounding my wife and myself. I acknowledged my missteps. I was determined to rectify my errors and I asked Master to help me.

My wife safely made it through the dangerous period. She continued to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” throughout her stay in the intensive care unit. Within just 22 days, her condition improved and she was transferred to a general ward.

Able to Stand and Walk Within Two Months

I asked my wife to listen to Master’s audio lecture recordings and to recite the poem,

“The three words of Zhen, Shan, Renare sacred with boundless power divine.At just the sincere thought of “Falun Dafa is good”all calamities will change.”(“The Origin of All Wisdom,” Hong Yin IV).

Boosted by her firm belief in Falun Dafa, my wife followed my advice and visibly improved each day. Her attending doctor was so surprised that he said, “Such serious fractures [her bones had to be set in two separate operations, with each operation lasting seven to eight hours], and at her advanced age [70 years old], how did she manage to recover so quickly? Situations like hers are really rare!”

Even though they succeeded in saving my wife’s life, the medical staff were convinced she was destined to be either bedridden or wheelchair bound. They were shocked by my wife’s recovery—she was able to stand and walk on her own after 60 days. Unable to deny what they saw with their own eyes, the medical staff began to admire the powers of Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong). We corrected some of their misunderstandings, and they realized that Falun Dafa is good.

My wife was discharged from the hospital on November 11 and returned home 80 days after her accident. Today, she is able to do simple household chores and walks freely without crutches.

Master said,

“The universe is fair. Those who do good are blessed for it, while those who do wrong will face payback—if not in this life, then in the next. For this is an immutable law of the universe! Heaven, Earth, the Divine, and the Creator alike are compassionate toward all lives. Heaven and Earth, just as with man and the divine, were made by the Creator, and it is never the case that He plays favorites with some lives and shortchanges others. The reason some people lead happy lives and others do not all comes down to rewards and retributions for past deeds.” (“How Humankind Came To Be”)

“When you see people winning or losing in life, it appears to come about in a normal way from things in this world. But it is ultimately the karmic consequences of those people’s past doings. Whether people have something or not, or are winning or losing in life, is going to play out in ways that accord with this world. So no matter whether you are rich or poor in life, you should be sure to do good, refrain from doing wrong, stay good and kind, be spiritual and devout, and be happy to help others. And by doing so you will build up blessings and virtue, and reap their rewards in the next life.” (“How Humankind Came To Be”)

Falun Dafa’s introduction and rapid spread throughout the world is no coincidence. The Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners for the past 26 years, deploying all manner of evil methods both in China and abroad, have yet to shake Falun Dafa practitioners’ firm belief in the practice. I hope those who read this article will seriously consider these facts, cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn and believe in the goodness of Falun Dafa, quit the Chinese Communist Party, the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers, and secure their safety.
