(Clearwisdom.net) There are many stories of people being protected by Dafa and turning bad luck into good, after understanding the truth and having righteous thoughts. The following are recent incidents that happened to family and friends of Falun Gong practitioners.

Dafa Protects a Passenger from a Thief

(Submission from Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province) I am Li Hua, 48. I live in Daoerdeng Township, Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province. Once I went far from home with 4000 yuan in my bag. When I purchased a ticket at the train station, a thief targeted me and followed me onto the train. After midnight, I was exhausted and fell asleep. The thief tried to slice open my bag with a knife several times, but failed to cut it open. The passengers nearby were too frightened to interfere. When the police patrol officer came to the compartment, the thief walked away.

Then another passenger woke me up and told me to get the bag and see what had happened. I was so frightened that my fatigue disappeared. I quickly checked the bag and found the 4000 yuan still there, but my bag had several cut marks. However, others were not so lucky, and several passengers complained of losing money. It was a mess.

Before I left home, my sister-in-law told me that thieves were quite bold in this area, that they used knives to steal things on the train, and nobody dared to interfere with them. She told me to sincerely say “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and nothing would happen to me. Therefore I silently repeated it on the train.

Actually this was only one reason I was safe. Most importantly I had been reading Falun Gong truth-clarification materials and knew Falun Gong was being treated unjustly. Although I am not a practitioner, I also wanted to add my voice to call for justice for Falun Gong. I often went to my sister-in-law’s place to get truth-clarification stickers and posted them. I also distributed truth-clarification materials in the village. Sometimes I publicly gave the material to the police, but they couldn’t do anything to me since every household had Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. This was why Falun Dafa protected me.

Magpies Stop Pecking Pears

(Submission from China) My third elder sister has an orchard at home with over a thousand fruit trees. They mostly are pear trees. In over ten years, the worst problem she had with her trees was that the magpies pecked the pears. The magpies chose the best and sweetest fruits, especially those on the tops of the trees. The birds pecked each fruit several times. She tried pesticides and every other method imaginable, but without success.

My sister had no idea what to do about the magpies, as she literally watched the fruits of her labor be ruined.

In the summer of 2010, my sister’s village had heavy rains, which caused over ten vegetable tents to collapse. When she was worrying about her fruit trees, a lady who practiced Falun Dafa went to her home and told her to write “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” on small scrolls and tie them up in the trees.

My sister soon wrote up scrolls and hung them in the trees. She already knew that Falun Dafa taught people to be kind and that it was a good practice.

After the heavy rains, none of her fruit trees was damaged. What was more amazing was that the magpies had stopped pecking the fruit, so she had her best harvest in years. My sister shouted from the top to the bottom of the mountain: “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good!”

Now she is also practicing Falun Dafa.

Escaped Choking to Death by Saying Dafa is Good

(Submission from Macheng, Hubei Province) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in the countryside, and I joined the practice in 1999. Prior to that, I had many diseases, such as headaches, female illnesses, anemia, and my feet and legs hurt all year long. I was fortunate to learn Falun Dafa, and obtained true freedom: all my sickness disappeared without one pill.

My child works away from home. One day a chicken bone got stuck in his throat. He couldn't talk or even breathe. At this very critical moment, he remembered what I said about sincerely repeating “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and did so.

Soon after he spit out the bone and was no longer in danger. Our Teacher has said that when one practices a righteous way, it will benefit others. This is absolutely true: merciful Teacher protected my child.
