(Minghui.org) There have been quite a number of local fellow practitioners who have been stuck in a state of sickness karma over the past few years, and some have even passed away. There are many reasons behind this. I noticed they had relatively strong resentment and fear. 

How can we recognize the Fa from the basis of the Fa? I want to share my understanding and experience of when I was also trapped in sickness karma. 　

Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, told us:

“So just as the universe goes through Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction, so too do human beings go through birth, aging, illness, and death.” (“How Humankind Came To Be”)

Master also told us:

“And so Master completely removed Dafa disciples’ names from the Three Realms, from the human world, and from the netherworld, including Hell. From that moment, Dafa disciples’ lives were governed by Dafa alone, and they would no longer enter into reincarnation, and even if they had committed sins, they would still not be governed by Hell.” (“Cultivation in Dafa Is Serious”)

Aging, illness, and death are rules of the human world. Dafa disciples’ names have been removed from the three realms and we are no longer subject to the principles of the human world, let alone going to the underworld after death.

In our cultivation, just understanding the Fa is not enough; we still have to put it into practice. I’d like to give an example. 

One morning, I started to have a toothache. When I had a toothache in the past, I would send forth righteous thoughts. If it was a mild case, it would be gone within an hour or two; if it was severe, it would be cured within a day or two. In the worst-case scenario, I could not touch hot rice or water.

I took out Master’s Fa teaching and began memorizing it. I realized that I am a Dafa disciple; the principles of the human world do not control me. It only took a few minutes, and the pain was gone. One week later, the toothache returned. I used the same method again, and it worked; in less than ten minutes, the pain was gone. I think the relapse was to test whether my cultivation is solid or not. My toothache has never returned.

Looking back at my two decades of cultivation in Dafa since in 1994, I have experienced many things, including the brutal persecution. At the police station, brainwashing center, and detention center, I experienced unimaginable torture. I faced the seemingly insurmountable dangers, but I survived each time, being protected and blessed by Dafa and Master.

When one has the Fa rooted in one’s heart and meets Dafa’s requirements at different levels, with the guidance of Dafa and Master’s compassionate protection, many seemingly insurmountable tribulations can be resolved.

While resisting the persecution and validating Dafa, I have witnessed the supernatural nature and wonder of Dafa. My experience is this: No matter what kind of tribulations we encounter, if the first thought that comes to mind is the Fa, and if, as disciples, we can have a rock-solid heart towards Master and Dafa, then there will be no difficulty that we cannot overcome.
