(Minghui.org) Every genuine Falun Dafa practitioner has experienced the beauty of Dafa, including myself. Today, I am going to share stories about a few elderly female Dafa practitioners around me. I hope you can draw inspiration from them.
Practitioner Jia, 76, was sorting clothes at home. She put one stool on top of the other, up to a meter high, so she could stand on it to put a large box of clothes on top of the wardrobe. She stepped on the top stool, lost her balance, and fell with her right side hitting the tiled floor. She couldn’t move and felt her ribs were pushed in on her right side. It was painful for her to breathe.
However, she still shouted with all her might, “Master, please save me!” She could then speak normally, and continued, “I am a practitioner. I’m fine. Nobody can persecute me. Master will take care of me!”
Although she was in pain, she got up and put the things away. She washed her hands and bowed to Master with incense, “Thank you Master for your protection!”
Although she found it hard to breathe or cough due to the pain, she managed to make dinner for her husband, recite the Fa, memorize Zhuan Falun and finish the five sets of exercises.
Without any medical treatment, she fully recovered after two days.
Practitioner Yi, 67, while riding her bicycle to the city to clarify the truth with other practitioners, was suddenly thrown from her bike and landed heavily on the handlebars.
Her ribs were sunken and pressed against her lungs making it difficult for her to breathe. She knew that Master would protect her, and was not panicked. While in excruciating pain, she quickly got up, took a deep breath, and exhaled with all her strength. Instantly, she felt her chest expand and she could breathe easily.
A man came over and asked if she was okay. Yi smiled and replied, “I’m fine. Maybe I owed someone and they came to settle the debt.” She then told the man about Falun Dafa.
Yi and the other practitioners continued on their journey. They helped more than a dozen people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
When Yi went out the next day, she noticed a round purple bruise where she landed on the handlebars.
At around 3 a.m. on the fifth day, she was woken up by sounds coming from her chest. She realized that Master was helping adjust and cleanse her body. She thanked Master and fell asleep. The pain in her ribs had disappeared when she got up.
During a two-year period, Yi encountered a few more accidents while riding her bicycle. She was hit by other vehicles and fell a few times on her own, but with Master’s protection, she hasn’t been seriously injured.
Practitioner Bing, nearly 70 years old, rode her bicycle downhill on a snowy road and slipped. Her head hit the ground hard. She asked Master for help and recited loudly, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” She fell so hard, but her head didn’t hurt and there wasn’t any swelling. She stayed very clear-headed as well.
When she got home, the first thing she did was to stand in front of Master’s portrait and thank Master for saving her life.
One time, Bing was waiting at the traffic lights when a sedan ran a red light, catching her as it went past. She was knocked to the ground. Her first thought was to ask Master for help. She recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
The driver stopped and asked Bing if she wanted to go to the hospital. Bing told him calmly, “I’m fine. I cultivate Falun Dafa and will not bother you.” She asked them to remember, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
They thanked her and left, and she was indeed fine.
Since practitioner Ding, 76, started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, she has been doing the five sets of exercises every morning and evening, when able to. She has transcribed Zhuan Falun more than twenty times and Master’s lectures three times. She can memorize Zhuan Falun and has been trying her best to clarify the truth and help Master to save people.
She has gone through dramatic changes. Her grey hair started to turn black. In April this year, she grew a new tooth. She has no wrinkles on her face, and her skin is smooth like a baby's. She is more energetic than most young people.
In late March 2021, Ding and another practitioner took over forty Dafa books to another practitioner’s home. They went to the given address on the fifth floor, but they didn’t see the sign the practitioner left for them on the door. She thought she may have got the wrong address, so she checked the fifth floor in all of the other apartment buildings. When Ding went back to the first building and knocked on the door on the fifth floor, it was the practitioner’s home. The property management staff had moved the sign from the door.
Ding went downstairs to fetch the Dafa books. The practitioner who owns the apartment on the fifth floor was surprised to see Ding was full of energy after going up and down the stairs so many times.
Another practitioner once tried to upload the name lists of people who quit the CCP. She turned on the computer, but couldn’t do anything as everything appeared in English and there was nobody to ask what the words meant. She sent righteous thoughts to communicate with the computer and asked for Master’s help. Soon, two Chinese characters for “Activate” appeared on the screen. After activating it, she knew what to do on the other pages and smoothly uploaded the name list of more than 380 people who quit the Party.
When she turned off the computer, the two characters “Activate” were still on the screen. It was miraculous!
