I was fortunate enough to have begun walking the path of Falun Gong in March 1997. Teacher said in Lecture Four of Zhuan Falun:
"We have said that good or evil comes from a person's spontaneous thoughts, and the thoughts at that moment can bring about different consequences."
I have had some miraculous experiences in my practice, and I would like to share one or two.
One thing happened after I had been practicing for just over a month. While I was cooking at home, I accidentally hit my left hand on the stove's exhaust fan. The propeller was spinning very fast. The sound it made when it struck my hand was so loud that my son ran out of his room to see what had happened in the kitchen. The pain was terrible, but I held my left hand and repeated to myself, "Eliminating karma, eliminating karma, eliminating karma." In no time at all, the severe pain completely disappeared and my hand was perfectly fine. It wasn't swollen, there was no redness or pain, and certainly no bone was fractured. The same could not be said for the exhaust fan. That fast moving metal propeller now had a huge crack in it, while my little hand was perfectly fine. If my thought had been, "I am gone, I must have fractured something, I'll have to go to the hospital right away," then I might really have had an injury.
On a night during the summer of 2005, my family and I went shopping at the supermarket. When we were crossing the road, a passenger vehicle passed right in front of us at very high speed and ran over my foot. I still remember the heavy pressure from the rubber tire on my feet to this day. The driver also realized that he had hit someone. The young driver stopped the car and ran back to us and asked, "How are you? Let's go to the hospital." I was clear in my mind: I am a practitioner, and I will be fine, so I ignored my family's opposition and waved to him, "I'm fine, I'm fine, you may go." That driver was so grateful. I endured the pain and walked towards supermarket. My family kept saying, "Don't be stubborn. If there is something wrong, we'll go to find the driver immediately." But I strongly believed, "I'll certainly be fine." After returning home from shopping, I looked carefully at my foot. The stocking on my right foot was totally ruined, but the skin on my foot wasn't even broken. There was only a little mild pain. When I woke up in the next morning, I found the big toe on my right foot had turned blue, but it was back to normal in several days. If my spontaneous thought had been, "My foot has been crushed," then possibly my foot would have been crushed. However, I followed Teacher's guidance, truly treated myself as a genuine practitioner, believed in Teacher and Dafa, and behaved according to a practitioner's standards, and Teacher protected me.
Before I began practicing, I never had any problems with my teeth. However in mid-August of 2008, I suddenly got toothache. I sent forth righteous thoughts, but it did not have any obvious result. The pain annoyed me and made me bad-tempered. It got so bad I couldn't even drink water, whether it was cold, lukewarm, or hot. If I drank something, my teeth would give me terrible pain. Eating was simply out of the question. After I finished sending forth righteous thoughts at noon, I was full of tears due to the pain. All kinds of thoughts arose: "Where have not I done well? How could I allow the old forces to take advantage of me? I should beg Teacher to help me. What should I do about the pain? Go see a doctor? The doctor who made artificial teeth for my mom recently is very good." The thought to seek medical help just emerged. Then it seemed like I heard Teacher's voice saying, "How can a god be treated by everyday people?" In several seconds, the three sore teeth moved strangely, as if they were being pulled up by someone. My toothache immediately stopped! Merciful Teacher helped me eliminate this tribulation.
These kinds of experiences happen to help solidify our faith in Dafa. Every time I experience something, it reaffirms my faith in Teacher and Dafa and encourages me to do even better in validating Dafa.
