(Minghui.org) Before I began to practice Falun Dafa, I was always in pain; my husband thought that I was a hypochondriac. Once I started practicing Falun Dafa, I realized that I had been possessed by spirits and that that was what had caused my suffering.
Power of Dafa: Returning to Good Health
My husband worked in another town in 1998. My son was diagnosed with Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head (a pathological process that results from interruption of blood supply to the hip bone). I also suffered from heavy bleeding due to an ectopic pregnancy. My husband returned home and took me to the hospital for surgery.
My sister and her husband visited me in the hospital and suggested that I practice Falun Dafa. But I refused because when I listened to the music, I became annoyed.
“Practicing Falun Dafa,” she explained, “is excellent when it comes to recovering from health issues. I used to be in poor health and recovered after I started practicing.”
But no matter what she said, I had no interest in learning Dafa. However, I thought that my son could benefit from it. After talking to him, he decided he wanted to learn. So my husband got him a copy of Zhuan Falun, as well as the video series of Master Li's teachings.
When my son started watching the videos, I again got annoyed, though I was not in the same room. Then, out of curiosity, I began to read Zhuan Falun. I immediately fell asleep, but I woke up and continued to read. The more I read, the more I liked it. I felt Zhuan Falun was well written, and every sentence touched my heart.
After reading the book for two days, Master began to purify my body. I did not understand that this was a process of eliminating karma, so I called my sister and told her that I was not feeling well. She reassured me, “It's okay. You'll be fine in a couple of days. Master is taking care of you.”
Spirit Possession
I had once seen a witch doctor who told me to enshrine the spirit tablet for the fox and weasel and to put a spirit symbol on my door. After practicing Dafa for about eight days, my body felt very comfortable. My sister warned me, “You must remove the bad substances in your house and burn the spirit symbol on your door.”
“When those who truly practice cultivation on their own read this Dafa, I will clean out their bodies as well. In addition, your home environment must also be cleaned. As soon as possible, you should throw away the spirit tablet for the fox or the weasel that you previously enshrined. They have all been disposed of and no longer exist.” (Zhuan Falun)
My understanding was poor, so I said, “Let me wait for my husband to return home.” He removed the spirit symbol on the door and burned it. Master then removed the possessing spirits from my body, and I was no longer annoyed when I heard the exercise music.
Refusing to Give up Dafa
After Jiang Zemin, the head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), began to persecute Falun Dafa in 1999, the village chief called and asked me if I still practiced Dafa.
I said, “It’s none of your business if I practice Falun Dafa or not. You won’t be allowed to call my home ever again!”
The village chief did not call my home again, but he said to my husband, “Your wife practices Falun Dafa. She has to renounce this practice in writing. If she refuses, we will have to detain her.” My husband told him that he would sign the document, but if the village chief ever bothered me, he would report his wife for practicing Dafa. No one bothered me anymore!
Due to the persecution and the deprivation of our cultivation environment, I became less diligent in my Fa study. After reading Minghui Weekly, I realized that other practitioners went out to tell people about Dafa and the persecution. Reading the Weekly also helped me study the Fa more diligently, so I began to go out with another practitioner and clarify the facts about the persecution.
When we went out to distribute Dafa calendars, a police officer tried to stop us. We walked across the road and held the thought, “Master, please freeze him!” When it was time to go home, we asked Master to unfreeze him.
Master is indeed by our side, looking after us at all times!
Benefiting from Dafa
My husband began supporting our practicing Falun Dafa after witnessing our recovery from illness. When practitioners came to my home to study the Fa, he sat in the hall and watched television. He said that he was guarding us and would stop any policeman from entering our home.
When he worked in a chemical plant, he fell from the top of a 10-meter-tall tank. He broke one of his ribs and twisted his lower back. He could not sleep at night. I had him listen to Master's lectures, and he could move again after four days. He understood that he and his family benefited from Dafa and now tells people about the goodness of Falun Dafa.
When I distributed Dafa informational materials in a village, the CCP branch secretary came out of his house and looked around with a flashlight. I hid in the field. He called out, “I saw someone just a moment ago. How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?” After he went back inside, I continued to distribute materials there and in surrounding villages.
At the end of last year, several practitioners and I went to rural areas to distribute calendars, talk to people about Falun Dafa, and advise them to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. Some villagers reported us to the local police station. A local practitioner also warned us and suggested that officers were on their way to arrest us.
However, we were not worried and continued to distribute Dafa materials in that village. About 60 people agreed to withdraw from the CCP that day. Thanks to Master's protection, we returned home safely!
