(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. I’m nearly 80 years old this year. During my past 13 years of cultivation, my faith in Master and Dafa never wavered, and I have experienced many miracles as I upgraded my xinxing. Here I’d like to share some of the miracles that manifested in my body.
An Illiterate Is Able to Read
I was an illiterate who could not read at all in the past. After stepping onto the path of Dafa cultivation, I realized from the bottom of my heart that Dafa was what I had been waiting for, all these years. Therefore, in the beginning I had a very strong wish – that I must learn to read Zhuan Falun and all of Master's teachings.
Seeing my pure heart and my wish to assimilate to the Fa unconditionally, Master helped me. While studying the Fa in groups, without consciously trying, I was able to read Zhuan Falun.
Nowadays, I can not only read all Master's teachings by myself, I can also recite Lunyu and Hong Yin without missing a single word. Everyone who hears about this all praise Dafa, and say that It is so miraculous that a nearly-80-year-old illiterate is able to read.
My Back Bent at a Ninety-degree Angle Miraculously Straightened Up
Before practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered from many illnesses and had to take a lot of medicines every day. What was more painful was that my back was bent at a ninety-degree angle. When I walked, I had to balance myself to avoid falling over. I was known as “hunchback” to all. Living in agony, every day felt like a year.
After I became a practitioner, I understood from the Fa that ordinary human affairs, including birth, old age, illness and death, all have karmic relationships. Only by practicing cultivation and eliminating karma through suffering could one’s illness be removed fundamentally. I also enlightened that Master had eliminated a lot of my karma. As long as I upgraded my xinxing and eliminated the attachment to life and death, I would overcome sickness karma for sure. While experiencing the tribulation of sickness karma, I always maintained righteous thoughts even though my blood pressure once went up to 225mmHg. Maintaining firm righteous thoughts as I eliminated the attachment to life and death, with Master's care, I passed through many tests. All my illnesses disappeared and eventually I felt that my body was light as though treading on air.
Since I started practicing cultivation, I fell more than 30 times. But, no matter whether I fell down the stairs or tripped while walking, I was always unscathed, and more miraculously, after one of the times I fell, my back straightened up! My neighbors and the local police all marveled at this. I knew that it was Master who adjusted my body after seeing that I complied with the xinxing standard, and at the same time manifested Dafa’s miracle to people.
Skin Becomes Delicate and No Longer Affected by Cold or Heat
Every day, I go out to tell people the facts about Falun Gong and to help people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I shared with people how my back straightened up and how the rest of my illnesses disappeared through practicing Falun Gong, and how the CCP persecuted and tortured me in the forced labor camp. After learning about my experiences, many people woke up and quit the CCP's organizations.
All this is what I should naturally do as a Dafa practitioner. I just recently got rid of the attachment to fear. But revered Master encouraged me and manifested another miracle in my body again. Although I am nearly 80 years old, my skin became delicate and rosy. Now my body is always warm as if my blood has been renewed. The weather no longer affects me. In hot summer, I do not use a fan even though it's sometimes 104 degrees Fahrenheit. In the coldest winter, I only wear a single layer of clothes even though it might have snowed. When I walk on the snow barefoot, my feet even sweat!
Looking back over the past years, so many extraordinary and miraculous things have manifested on my cultivation path. I deeply realized that “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while transforming gong is done by one’s master,” and, “One’s gong level is as high as one’s xinxing level.” (Zhuan Falun) As long as we follow what Master has taught us and sincerely strive to get rid of our attachments, Dafa’s miracles will manifest in our bodies.
