(Minghui.org) When I first wrote the title of this article, I intended to use “Break through the disease karma.” However, after thinking about it, I realized that any improvement is gained by following Master’s requirements and is under his protection. So, step by step, with my understanding of the Fa, I decided that using the words “break through” may put too much emphasis on myself and that the word “eliminate” would be more accurate.
Around 3 a.m. on April 26, 2022, when the alarm rang, I was so sleepy that I went back to sleep. When I woke up again it was 5 a.m.. So I only had time to do the sitting meditation. After meditating, I felt some discomfort in my right eye but didn’t pay any attention to it.
At a work meeting that morning, I was dissatisfied with the efforts of my subordinates, so I criticized them without thinking about their feelings. After the meeting, I again felt discomfort in my right eye, and also to the right side of my face. It was only then that I started to look inward, realizing that I had done something wrong just now, and was not behaving like a practitioner. In fact, when I assigned the work the day before yesterday, I already had a bad tone in my voice, and I knew I was wrong afterward. Yet, the next day, rather than correcting my behavior, my tone was even more unkind.
During the next two days, the entire right side of my face was numb, my right eye was drooping, and my speech became slurred. When rinsing my mouth, my right lip could not close all the way so water squirted out. One of my colleagues asked me, “Why can’t you speak clearly, and why is your mouth crooked?” But most of the others hadn’t noticed the changes yet. I tried to stay in my office for most of the day. Everyone in the company knows that I practice Falun Dafa. Now, looking like this, wasn’t I damaging Dafa?
At this time, I became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the problem. Moreover, on the evening of April 29, the company was to have a dinner party to welcome the new employees. What would everyone think when they saw me looking like this?
By the afternoon of April 29, I became more and more uneasy. At this time, I could only ask for Master’s help. I thought: “Master, I am experiencing persecution from the old forces. It’s fine for me to suffer a little, but I don’t want to have a negative impact on sentient beings.” Soon, the situation changed and multiple employees asked for leave due to personal matters. The head of the company thought that the dinner would be meaningless with so few staff attending, so the office announced that the gathering was postponed.
Since the May 1st holiday was approaching, I began to study the Fa intensively and kept looking inward. I found the attachment to lust, resentment, showing off, pursuit of comfort, easily losing my temper, disregarding other people’s feelings, and so on. Still, I felt that I hadn’t found the fundamental problem. When sending righteous thoughts, there was tremendous interference in my mind and I had a problem concentrating. Some bad things in my dimensional field were hard to eliminate. When I looked in the mirror, I felt that my right eye was full of evil. During those several days I felt a lot of psychological pressure. How could this happen to me?
When studying the Fa, I looked at Master’s image in Zhuan Falun and felt a burst of gratitude in my heart. I quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Master. I knew that he endured most of the karma for me while I only took a small part of it. I felt that my confidence in being able to pass this test was enhanced.
On the first day of the holiday, my wife – not a practitioner – noticed that something was wrong. She said, “What’s wrong with you? Your mouth is crooked and your eyes are slanted. You can’t speak clearly. Go to the hospital as soon as possible.” I told her, “It’s okay, it will be fine in a few days.” During the next two days, she was still worried and urged me to go to the hospital. I said, “Don’t worry, it will be fine when I go back to work after the holiday.” Because my wife witnessed Dafa’s power in the past, she replied, “Let’s wait and see.”
Over the following days, I kept looking inward. One night I dreamed that I bought a big bull horn that cost 30 yuan. Later, the price increased, and it seemed to be worth tens of thousands of yuan. The horn was huge and the texture was superb. However, the color was a little dark. When I woke up, I couldn’t figure out what this strange dream meant.
The next time I studied the Fa, I felt that the bad substances in another dimensional field were weakening. Finally, when I sent righteous thoughts, I realized the root cause of the problem: The attachments like lust, resentment, etc. had not been removed at the root. I only managed to restrain myself on the surface, but deep down I hadn’t given up my obsession with lust.
As the Fa-rectification draws to a close, the requirements for Dafa practitioners become higher and higher. Everything must be corrected from the root, including every thought. Although I do not have any major issues, I hadn’t corrected myself from the root, nor resolutely restricted myself. For example, paying attention to what I wore, and showing off in front of the ladies. Then I realized the meaning of Master’s symbolism in my dream: the big horn represented great awakening. The increased price meant that the demands on Dafa disciples become higher and higher. The color of the horn was dark because my dimensional field wasn’t clean enough to meet the standard of Dafa.
One evening, when I arrived home, my daughter, who was doing her homework, asked me to buy her some correction tape. I felt that the word “correction” resounded in my mind. I knew that Master was enlightening me. In the end, all aspects of ourselves must be fundamentally corrected.
After finding the root problem during the last two days of the holiday, my situation changed significantly. When I sent righteous thoughts I felt very powerful, and I sensed that the bad matter in my dimensional field was decreasing. On the first day back at work, my appearance and speech were basically back to normal.
I am grateful to Master for bearing the sins of his disciples, and I am grateful to Master for his careful arrangements, compassionate protection, and helping me to enlighten.
