(Clearwisdom.net) Many practitioners here in my local area began cultivation practice in Falun Dafa between 1997 and 1998. In those days I did not understand why so many people were cultivating and practicing Dafa. Before long, my wife started practicing Dafa as well. At that time, 30-40 people were practicing together at the local exercise site. After a couple of days practice, my wife said to me: "Since Dafa is so good, why dont you attend the practice too?" I looked at her with suspicion, wondering how she could be so attentive to it even with only a primary education background. At that time she had just bought a book called Zhuan Falun and then encouraged me, "You will get to know everything by reading the book." I then took up the book to read. Halfway through the book, I felt an unspeakable feeling in my heart with my blood afire all over, and was enlightened to some Fa principles. A feeling of admiration made me unable to put down the book until I finished the book in one reading. I realized that this is an invaluably precious book, and I understood the principles of human life, because my life had been very rough and just like what is described in Teachers book. I knew that I could never miss this wonderful opportunity that had never been met in the past hundreds of thousands of years, and I decided to cultivate and practice Dafa. On the following day, I went with my wife went to the practice site to study the Fa and practice the Falun Gong exercises. My body went through huge changes through the Fa study and practice.
In July 1999, Jiang Zemin, the chief of the evil Chinese Communist Party, began to undermine Dafa and persecute Dafa disciples. My wife was illegally sentenced to a three-year term of labor camp. Because of her resolution in cultivation practice, her detention term was extended. During this time, I was deluded by the situation created by the evil and had some resentment towards Teacher and Dafa, and then I burned a copy of Zhuan Falun. Now whenever I recall my thoughts and words toward Teacher and Dafa during that time, my heart is full of pain and regret.
At the time, I did odd jobs at a pet store. On the job I experienced a most unforgettable and life-and-death experience, which was also a big turning point in my life.
At around 2:00 p.m. on January 13, 2005, when I was working, I fell down from a height of 14 meters -- as high as a 4-story building. My pelvis and ribs were fractured, and my blood pressure shot up. It was only after two days and nights of hospitalization and 12 bags of blood transfusion that I regained consciousness. None of the doctors imagined that I could come to. They invited a medical specialist who diagnosed my situation as being extremely serious and said that I should not be moved to another hospital. Hence, I went through over 7 months of treatment at the local hospital, during which time I could not even turn over, could not take care of myself, and was completely taken care of by the nurses. The suffering I went through was unimaginable. Later, the company I worked for refused to pay for the medical expenses.
During these days while I lay in the hospital, I always thought that with my wife being illegally imprisoned and with my child still young, how should I deal with it if I were to become disabled for life? I thought it would have been better had I been killed by the accident. While I was immersed in these thoughts, all of a sudden a thought drilled through my mind: Is it because Teacher is still taking care of me that I didnt die? I obtained a little bit of sureness in my heart when I thought of that. Some days later, a fellow practitioner called me and said, "Please come back and resume cultivation in Dafa."
Then the intention to resume cultivation in Dafa from the beginning arose in my heart. Therefore I called my family and asked them to drive to the hospital and pick me up. Owing to 7 months of staying in bed, I felt dizzy after a short moment of sitting; my pelvis was still fractured; and my home was over a thousand kilometers away (about 600 miles). In that situation, it was really questionable whether I could get home safely. When my family members drove to pick me up, I put forth a thought that, if Teacher was still taking care of me I would surely get home safely. From the time we left the hospital in the morning until we got home in the evening, we experienced a totally safe journey and met with nothing abnormal.
After 7 to 8 days of reading and listening to the Fa while lying in bed at home, miracles came about: I could stand up with a crutch and even step forward a little bit. That really encouraged me and made my heart full of gratitude for Teachers salvation and mighty compassion. Months later, my wife was released unconditionally. After she came back, we advanced forward more diligently together and became steadfast in the cultivation of Dafa.
Now I can cook meals and even ride my bicycle. This is another divine miracle of the manifestation of Dafa. All the acquaintances in my hometown are remarking that my recovery has been extremely fast. I am now making use of this example for my truth clarification and Dafa validation to people. Both my wife and I are improving continuously in Dafa.
Because the company I worked for refused to take care of me in the later course of the treatment, I planned to take action against it. If I won the lawsuit they would have to pay me as much as several hundred thousand yuan. But later when my wife and I measured everything with Dafa, we realized that we are cultivators and should not follow everyday peoples ways. So then I gave up the lawsuit. Now we are leading an unperturbed life and are concerned about nothing, for isnt it true that cultivation means the elimination of human attachments?
I would like to tell my fellow practitioners who have committed wrongdoings and are still going astray: Be sure to be clear-headed; Teacher has undertaken so many hardships for us and would not leave behind any Dafa disciples. So how can we miss this once in a thousand millennia opportunity? Let us be more diligent together and assist Teacher in Fa-rectification!
