I Was Lucky to Learn Falun Dafa

Before I learned Dafa, I had all sorts of illnesses. I was an alcoholic, had sinus problems, and my eyes were extremely sensitive to light, to the point where even glancing at the sky was painful. The hospital could not find what was wrong and all I could do was wear sunglasses.

My wife began practicing Falun Dafa in March 2003. In late October, when my wife was doing the second exercise, she suggested that I follow along. After doing so my eyes miraculously didn't hurt as much and my nose was clear. I was excited and said, “I want to practice, too.”

Hearing that I was practicing Dafa, my sister and brother wanted me to stop, as they were afraid that it might affect their children's chances of being allowed to attend college, but I didn't give in and continued.

Teacher Gave Me a Second Life

In 2010, I was working in a factory at the Daping Mine. It was especially windy one day and some roofing material was blown loose. The manager dispatched another worker and me to go fix it. As soon as we were up on the roof, a strong gust of wind blew us into the air. The other man was tossed 30 meters away, hit the ground, and was killed instantly. I fell head first and landed after hitting the exhaust pipe of a nearby tractor. I was clear-minded and quickly thought, “I am a practitioner and Teacher will protect me.” In the hospital, the doctor operated on me and told my family later that I had a fractured femur, a broken left cheek bone, and three broken ribs. My diaphragm was also damaged and my stomach and intestines were pushed up into my chest, which in turn displaced my heart, liver, and my spleen, which were all damaged. One of my lungs also collapsed. The doctor said that I was stable for the time being, but there would be a five-day critical period.

Most of my family were silent, thinking that, with such severe injuries, I wouldn't live, but my wife was not afraid. She sent forth righteous thoughts and notified fellow practitioners to do the same for me. As a result, I was out of the operating room by 3:00 p.m. that afternoon and upgraded from critical condition the next day, to the surprise of the doctor.

Surgery on my leg was postponed so that other surgeries could be performed first. The doctor put my leg in a traction machine. When I regained consciousness after seven days, my wife read Hong Yin into my ears and I followed along, and gradually I was able to operate the device well. Without intending to, I raised my leg. When my brother saw this, he was elated and told the doctor. The doctor was stunned, and said, “With a fractured leg, that shouldn't be possible. Falun Gong is truly miraculous.”

Because my xinxing wasn't good enough, my leg did not recover as fast, and I was operated on a second time. The anesthetist gave me three shots, but I was still conscious. He gave me two more, and I was still conscious. He put a gauze pad with anesthetic on it over my nose for me to inhale, and put another big bottle over my mouth to breathe in, but ten minutes later I was still conscious. With his forehead perspiring, the anesthetist said, “It just has no effect on you,” and removed all the anesthetics. The doctor performed the operation without my being totally anesthetized. To relieve the excruciating pain, I began to recite the Yuan verse “Severing” from Hong Yin II:

“Cultivation is not hard,
It’s attachments that are hard to part with.
When will you sever those many attachments?
All know the sea of hardship has no shore.
If your will is not firm,
The hurdles are like mountains.
How will you transcend this mortal life?”

Unwittingly, I recited it aloud. The doctor asked me what I was saying. I told him that I was reciting Teacher’s Hong Yin, and told him about the wonderfulness of Dafa and the facts about the persecution.

When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told my family that it would take at least six months for me to get out of bed by myself, and there was no telling how long it would be before I could walk, but I was almost totally recovered in six months, and was able to work in the field and ride a motorcycle.

I don't have enough words to describe my gratitude to Teacher. All I can say is that I will use my experiences to validate Dafa and save sentient beings. I want to fulfill my pre-historical promises and be a qualified Dafa disciple.

Please point out my deficiencies.
