(Minghui.org) We are a married couple from a rural area, who practice Falun Dafa, and we had only limited education. Although we can read everything in the Dafa books, it is not easy for us to write articles. Each time the online experience sharing conference opens, we get anxious because we can’t write articles. This time, I asked a fellow practitioner to help us write an article about the miraculous things that have occurred in our cultivation, and to express that we are very grateful to our compassionate and great Master!
I first heard about a kind of qigong called Falun Gong in 1996. Then, one day I saw the books, Falun Gong Revised Version and Zhuan Falun at the counter of a bookstore, and bought them. I treasured these books, as I knew they were precious, but I didn’t learn the Fa. I just stored them in a good place. I was looking for someone to teach me the exercises. One day shortly after, a relative came to visit us. It turned out that he was a Dafa disciple. When he heard that I wanted to learn and practice the exercises, he taught me how to do the five sets of exercises. At that time I began to cultivate.
My neighbor was building a cowshed in June 2016 and asked me to help when they were ready to cover the roof with tiles. My job was to stand on the roof and pick up the tiles thrown up by someone on ground. In the process, one tile on the roof broke under my feet. I lost my balance and fell from the roof, nearly three meters (10 feet). Due to the construction, the ground was covered with bricks, tiles, and stones, yet I happened to land on flat ground. My neighbor wanted to take me to the hospital, but I didn’t go. But I couldn’t walk or turn over in bed. Two or three days later, my friend suggested that I go to the hospital for a check-up, so I went. The hospital’s examination results showed comminuted fractures of two lumbar vertebrae. The doctor said this could easily lead to paralysis of the lower limbs, and I needed to lie flat when I returned home, and shouldn’t move. Otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable. Then I thought, “I am a cultivator, and I will be fine with the protection of Master.”
The neighbor offered me three thousand yuan, but I didn’t take it. Then he thought that three thousand may not be enough if my lumbar spine was broken, so he added 10,000 yuan more. I still didn’t take it, and told him, “I am a cultivator, and my Master is in charge. I am fine.”
People around us said that I was stupid, “You fell so hard, and no one knows what will become of it in the future,” and, “Now people are taking advantage of each other, not to mention that you are the one they asked for help. They should spend money on you.” If I had not practiced Falun Dafa, I would not have viewed it from a higher level, and I might have done as the people around me suggested. However, Dafa had changed me.
I did not rest in bed by following the ordinary people’s thinking. Rather, I moved slowly and kept on doing whatever exercises I could do. I resumed walking after a month, and working in a little over three months. People around me asked, “Is it the exercises you practice that made you recover so quickly?” I said, “Yes, we practitioners are all protected by our Master. We don’t need to take injections or take medicine. This is the extraordinary nature of Dafa.” Through this incident, people witnessed the miraculous and extraordinary nature of Dafa.
I was once doing a welding job at a newly-built train station, and a welding arc flashed into my eyes. After I got home, I couldn’t see anything. My wife was not at home, and I was a little anxious and didn’t know what to do. I thought of Master and quickly asked Him to help. At the same time, I recited in my mind, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” After a few minutes, I opened my eyes, and I could see. Dafa is truly extraordinary!
I noticed blood in my urine in 1998. At that time, I was afraid of uremia, so I went to the hospital for infusions. After six or seven days of receiving infusions, I still hadn’t recovered. My husband was practicing Falun Gong at that time, and he said, “Come back home and practice with me.” I said okay, and after I went back, I threw away the remaining medicine and followed along with my husband to cultivate Falun Dafa. Before I knew it, not only was my hematuria cured, but my years of severe insomnia and headaches were also cured. I no longer had to wear cloth straps to wrap my head tight (a common way people in China treat headaches). Master purified my body and made me illness free.
I suddenly felt discomfort in my heart before New Year’s Day in 2023, and my body was trembling. My family took me to the hospital for an examination. The doctor there said it was atrial-fibrillation, and it was very serious. My husband replied that we’d switch to another hospital to get a second opinion, rather than be admitted there. I was then transferred to a Chinese Medicine Hospital. The diagnosis was the same. The doctor said it would take a long time for treatment with medicine to be effective. At that time, I remembered that I was a Dafa cultivator, and thought it must be that Master was purifying my body. I told my family, “I won’t see any other doctors, as I’m not sick. I should go home to practice the exercises.” After I got home, I studied the Fa more, and recited “On Dafa” every day. My heart a-fib issue went away. Master must have seen my righteous thought of trusting him and Dafa, and helped me to eliminate my karma. Now I’m in great health.
We went out on New Year’s Day in 2024, and when we returned home, we found that our house had been robbed. My husband and I have lived a frugal life and saved money to support ourselves, so as not to trouble our children. We found that all of our savings had been stolen. I cried immediately and said, “Call the police.” My husband said, “We are cultivators, nothing happens without a reason. It is cause and effect. This could be because we owed others something, so we have to pay off the debt.” This understanding made us feel relaxed. Master said:
“Vessels freed of attachments quickly skim forthVessels humanly burdened struggle along at sea”(“Your Heart Should Know,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)
When I practiced the meditation in the past, I was not able to calm my mind. And sometimes my hands would fall down while sending righteous thoughts. Now my mind is more focused and my hands no longer drift down.
We live in the countryside, and before we cultivated Dafa, we only cared about our daily needs, for firewood, rice, oil, and salt. We didn’t expect that we would be fortunate enough to be saved by Master and practice the universe’s Dafa. We will definitely cherish the cultivation opportunities given by Master, learn the Fa well, do the three things well, and return home with Master!
Thank you Master for your compassion and salvation!
