Overcoming Severe Physical Tribulations With Strong Faith in Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I’m 74 this year and took up Falun Dafa in 1996. Many of my ailments disappeared while cultivating in Dafa and I have been healthy ever since.

In the past few years, I have lived with my son and helped care for his child. During this time, I let up in my cultivation, and then the old forces exploited the gap and taught me a hard lesson.

One day in April 2021, I woke up to find the right side of my body paralyzed. I wasn’t afraid, but reminded myself that I’m a Dafa practitioner. I told my husband, who is also a practitioner, about the situation, and he encouraged me to have faith in Dafa and I would pass the test.

I put my heart of fear down and stopped worrying about what would happen. I would just let Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, take charge of me. I asked my husband to fasten some rope to the closet door. I stood, leaned against the closet, and held the rope so that I could do the Falun Standing Stance exercise (the second of the four standing exercises). I tried my best to stretch my paralyzed right arm as far and as high as possible. A month later, I was able to cut vegetables with my right hand. After another month, I could hold chopsticks with my right hand and was able to do some light household chores. By the fourth month, I was able to do the exercises without holding onto the rope.

Through this tribulation, I have become more aware of the seriousness of cultivation. I also know that no matter how big or serious the test is, we must hold firm to Dafa and have faith in Master.
