(Minghui.org) I saw something amazing happen to a former colleague of mine. She began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997 but stopped in 1999 after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Dafa.
One day, I saw her limping. It turned out that she’d had a stroke shortly after she became a Buddhist. She said she went to the hospital at least twice a year and had spent enough money to buy a house. I asked her to practice Falun Dafa again, but she thought that she could not return to Dafa after converting to Buddhism.
In early July 2006, I ran into her husband. With much sadness, he told me that his wife was in serious condition and wanted me to visit her soon. He had just consulted a well-known fortune teller that many people believed in. The fortune teller predicted that his wife’s life would end that month. I was shocked because she was only in her 60s.
The next day it poured, so I visited her two days later. I could not believe what poor shape she was in: She looked almost dead. From her bed, she looked at me with dull eyes and said weakly, “I’m dying. I haven’t had a bowel movement for over seven weeks. Because of the pain, I can’t lie still. I kneel and beg Bodhisattva Guanyin and Buddha Amitabha to help, but neither is taking care of me. I’ve already had one operation. Even though I go to the hospital once every three days, I am still constipated. I’m really dying.”
I told her, “Return to practicing Falun Dafa. Master Li will take care of you.” She replied, “I believe in Buddhism now. I converted and went through a ceremony. Master Li can no longer take me back. But I know that Falun Dafa is good. During the two years I practiced, my health was very good and I didn’t have any ailments. I really regret giving up cultivation after the CCP started persecuting the practice, but now it’s too late to go back.”
I said, “It’s not too late. The time for cultivating is not over yet, so you still have the opportunity to practice Dafa.” Despite my encouragement, she believed that Master Li could no longer take her back. Finally, I suggested that I lend her a set of videotapes of Master’s Fa lectures in Guangzhou so she could watch them and decide if she could practice Falun Dafa again. She reluctantly agreed to watch the videos.
I got on my bicycle, hurried to the home of a new practitioner to get the videos, and went back to give them to her as quickly as I could. She was surprised that I was back so soon. I told her, “I was blessed by Master. You need to watch the videotapes, and I will come and see you the day after tomorrow.” She replied, “Okay. Then I’ll see if Master takes me back as a disciple.”
On the way home, there was a strong headwind, and riding my bike was difficult. I wondered, “Did I do the right thing, considering her critical condition?” Suddenly I felt a force pushing my bike up the incline, against the wind. It pushed me more than ten meters ahead. I realized that I did do the right thing and that Master just gave me a blessing.
When I entered her house two days later, I saw her washing something in the bathroom. I exclaimed, “Ah! You are out of bed. Dafa is really miraculous.” She said emotionally, “Master took me back as a disciple. After you lent me the lecture tapes, my husband and I watched them together. We watched six lectures non-stop past midnight and didn’t even feel sleepy. We have now finished watching all nine lectures. Master Li is so merciful and really takes care of me—a disciple who has not lived up to his expectations. I was constipated for over 40 days but had a good bowel movement with no problem this morning. I have more energy now. It is so amazing. I have returned to Dafa, and I will cultivate to the end this time.”
Shortly after that, she gave all her Buddhist things to the temple. The power of Falun Dafa prompted her return to cultivation. She was fulfilling a Dafa practitioner’s responsibilities to study the Fa, send righteous thoughts, and distribute materials to clarify the facts to people. She no longer has any health problems and has set up a Fa-study group in her home.
Her husband told me later that he went to the fortune teller again on the day I first visited his wife. The fortune teller said, “Wow, a lucky star went to your house today. If your wife changes in three days, she will be fine. If she doesn’t change, she will die on the 27th or 28th of this month.” After he returned home, he learned that I had visited his wife that day. He wanted to thank me for bringing them luck. I said, “It is Master’s arrangement. You should thank Master Li.” He agreed, “Definitely. I already offered incense to pay my respects to your Master.
“After my wife watched the Fa lecture videos, she was revived. Not only did she come back to life but her temper also improved greatly. The power of Dafa is incredible. I strongly support her cultivating the Fa and practicing the exercises. I was worried that she might be arrested when she distributed factual information about Falun Dafa, so I went along to protect her. As a result, I also benefited from Dafa. I was feeling terrible from a high fever and a cough a few days ago. My wife suggested I recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and lent me the Dafa keepsake you gave her to wear. As soon as I put it on, I was no longer feverish and my chest felt comfortable. As a result, I didn’t need any medicine and recovered in three days.”
He concluded, “Dafa is really miraculous. It helps to cure peoples’ diseases and gets them fit. I have seen the incredible results and experienced the effects myself. I really experienced the power of Falun Dafa at healing illnesses and helping people live long and healthy lives.”
