(Minghui.org) I personally believe that when a Dafa disciple experiences serious sickness karma during the Fa-rectification period, it must be interference and persecution by the old forces.　　

My understanding is that when the old forces persecute a Dafa disciple, they collect his karma accumulated over many lifetimes and then dispense a big chunk of it to attack the disciple all at once. That way, the disciple may face significant tribulation. Some practitioners might pass the test well, while others might not, with some even losing their lives to the old-forces-arranged tribulation.

I want to share my recent tribulation. I had a high fever for three days. I had never been feverish for long since I began to cultivate more than 20 years ago. As Dafa disciples, we all know that, whenever we encounter a tribulation, we should look within to rectify ourselves. And I did just that, but my fever didn’t go down.

I sent forth righteous thoughts many times during those three days, but not much changed. My symptoms did not worsen but there was no improvement either. I wondered what was wrong. Then I thought that maybe my righteous thoughts had already eliminated the evil beings that, at the command of the old forces, had given me a big chunk of karma. But the karma was still there, meaning that I had to endure it in order to transform it into virtue and then gong. But should I just keep enduring it?

I thought of a way. Since the old forces had tossed me a big chunk of karma, I could break up the karma into pieces and not let it concentrate in one place. After spreading out the karma, it would be easier to eliminate it piece by piece.

I began sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings that threw the karma at me and to break the karma up into small pieces. Three minutes after I finished sending righteous thoughts, a miracle occurred: my fever was gone, my body felt light, I didn’t feel cold, my stuffy nose was no more, and my throat no longer hurt!

I wondered if I had found a way to overcome the old forces’ tactic of collecting a lot of karma before tossing it at a Dafa disciple—by breaking up the karma and dispersing it!

But this is my personal experience. We must take the Fa as Teacher in order to truly cultivate.
