(Minghui.org) I am over 70 years old this year and have been cultivating in Falun Dafa for 24 years. I am indebted to Master and Dafa, but have never written any experience-sharing articles before due to my lack of education.
I used to be plagued with illnesses such as neurasthenia, arrhythmia, gastroenteritis, and hemorrhoids. I searched everywhere for treatment and took many medications, but things did not improve. The doctor said that my condition was so complicated that it was hard to prescribe a treatment for me. Therefore, I went to the streets to send out messages saying that if anyone could help me recover, I would give them 1,000 yuan. Every day was spent in agony.
One day, I got good news. I was busy doing housework when someone called me, saying, “Hey, I heard you are often sick and taking medicine. Why don’t you come and learn how to practice Falun Dafa?!”
I knew this woman, so I asked her, “When will it be taught?”
“Tonight at 7p.m.,” she answered.
I told her that I would definitely come and join. Thus, in 1997, I started practicing Falun Dafa. A week later, all my illnesses disappeared. My family asked why they did not see me taking my medication. I replied, “I have no need to take any more medication because I don’t have any more discomfort.”
They thought Falun Dafa was miraculous, and supported me in the practice. I was very happy. I bought a Dafa book. Upon flipping through the pages, there were many words that I could not recognize. I got a pen and paper and wrote them down. Then made time to find out what they meant. I sensed that Master was helping me learn quickly and I was soon able to read Zhuan Falun and other Dafa books.
Not long after I started cultivating, my celestial eye opened and I could see very clearly through it.
When I was doing the exercises at the practice site, I saw many Faluns (Law wheels). They were colorless and spinning very fast. I could even hear them spin. The light they emitted was transparent.
When I was meditating one day, I saw divine beings sitting around the practice site, protecting the Fa. After I finished the meditation, the divine beings flew into the sky. When I looked closely, there were five such divine beings and they were all sitting on lotus flowers when they flew up in the sky.
Such a wonderful and grand practice site. No words can describe that scene. This is Master encouraging Dafa practitioners to do well on their path of cultivation and follow Master back to the wonderful heavenly worlds.
It was very cold one October night and I was wearing cotton clothes. I saw many worm-like things crawling on my clothes and falling to the ground. They died when they fell. I couldn’t understand what was going on, so I asked a family member to come and see what was happening. However, she exclaimed, “I can’t see anything! There’s nothing there!” Only then did I realize that they can’t see because they are not cultivators. It was Master helping me cleanse my body, helping me get rid of the degenerated elements from my body. Master let me see, so that I could improve in my cultivation.
The next day, I saw another scene through my celestial eye: five people appeared on the wall of my house, all wearing armor. I wondered who they were, and where they came from. Then, they all came down to the floor and stood in a row, stepping out one by one to let me see who they were. The only one I could recognize was Sun Wukong (The Monkey King). I had a brief thought: why didn’t I see Master? A person with a halo then appeared. I couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, but I knew it was not my Master. It appeared because of my thoughts. I had a strong thought, “I only have one Master. Li Hongzhi is my Master and nobody can replace him.” The image then disappeared.
It’s not easy to cultivate with the celestial eye open, as there are always disturbances. I often hear bad voices in my ear but I am not afraid of them. Because there are loopholes in my cultivation, the old forces are making use of them to stop me from calming down to do the exercises. They make me have all sorts of wild thoughts, which lure animals, degenerate beings and foreign messages.
I said to them, “I watch these messy thoughts of yours. Let me see how long you can last.” This helped to improve the situation a bit. When the foreign messages caused great disturbances, I said, “Annihilate,” and they disappeared. We cultivators must study the Fa more so that we can know the Fa principles. Thus, when we meet with problems, we know how to handle them.
One spring day, I suddenly experienced intolerable pain all over my body. I lay on the bed, and couldn’t get up by myself. It was like I was paralyzed. When my son found out, he took me to the hospital. The results from the check up showed that I was suffering from osteoporosis and the doctor wanted me to have surgery. I had no righteous thoughts so I agreed. However, on the operating table, I kept reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The surgery was a success.
However, around 2013, two to three years later, the ‘illness’ recurred and it was more serious this time. This time, I looked within: Although the surgery was a success, the source of the ‘illness’ had not been touched and I had wasted all that money. My son said again, “Mom, let me take you to the hospital.”
My righteous thoughts came out, and I replied, “I am not going to the hospital. You don’t need to worry. I know what to do.”
I held the book Zhuan Falun in both hands, as the book has Master’s portrait, and said to Master, “Master, please save me!” A miracle then happened. I immediately felt relaxed and was able to get up off the bed and walk. I could even do the exercises. However, I still had a bit of pain to bear. When I was doing the second exercise, I could not persist. I sat on the sofa to continue. Master enlightened me again by sending three female deities to watch me. They were wearing ancient clothes and laughing at me, saying that I was doing the exercises while hiding in a corner. That meant they were asking me why I could not persist. I immediately awakened and since then, I have been doing the exercises correctly to the end.
On the 17th day of the 12th lunar month in 2021 (prior to the 2022 Chinese New Year), I felt some discomfort in my stomach, and thought it may be because I ate something that went bad. I had this brief thought: I did not eat anything that is poisonous! However, on the 23rd day of that month, when I went to the washroom I saw blood in my urine. I did not have any fear, and my heart was very calm. After that one instance, it didn’t happen again.
Over a month later, that illusion of illness appeared again. There were two days when blood was in my urine. Again, my heart was very calm. I didn’t tell anyone in my family about it, because if they knew, they would have taken me to the hospital. I said in my mind: I am Master Li Hongzhi’s disciple. No one can erase that. I do not want, nor will I acknowledge any other things.” With this thought, all those bad substances disappeared.
Master is always by my side looking after and protecting me. Master, I am really grateful for your benevolent salvation. Thank you, Master!
