(Minghui.org) In what seemed like a random act, a classmate gave me the book Zhuan Falun. I finished reading it in three days and felt amazing. My diabetes, neurasthenia, colitis, and many other ailments soon disappeared. I was extremely happy! My body felt so light that words cannot describe it. Since then, I have been cleansed and renewed in Dafa’s light every day.
In the summer of my sixth year of practicing Falun Dafa, I noticed a lump on my abdomen. At first, it did not hurt or itch, and did not affect my Fa study, exercises, or truth-clarification activities. However, the lump grew bigger, reaching the size of a fist, and became so painful that I couldn’t sleep at night.
My husband suggested that I visit the hospital to find out what was going on. I replied, “No, thanks.” But nonetheless I felt nervous. Negative thoughts such as fear, frustration, and distress were troubling me. I kept asking myself what I should do. When I was at a loss, Master’s Fa struck my mind:
“...have righteous thoughts and act righteously, and there will be no test that you cannot pass.” (Teachings at the 2005 Conference in San Francisco)
Master’s teachings illuminated my way forward like a bright light, and a powerful righteous energy welled up from the bottom of my heart. I decided to give myself to Master. I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate all the dark minions and rotten demons that were persecuting me physically. Half an hour later, I felt the negative energy decreasing and the righteous energy rising, and I felt much better.
I told my husband, “I am a practitioner of Falun Dafa, and Master is watching over me all the time. Don’t worry about me. Go ahead and get some sleep.”
To avoid affecting my husband, I decided to read the Fa while sitting on the couch. I asked myself, “How did this lump grow on my abdomen?” I pondered about it, trying to make sense of it. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: “Money.”
It dawned on me that while I was working in the factory, the management confiscated a sum of 2,100 yuan (USD$295) from someone who was working on his own stuff in the workshop. I was designated to keep it. Over the years, 1,500 yuan was given to the factory security office, and 600 yuan remained with me. As time went on, everyone who knew about this matter retired, one after another, leaving me the only person aware of it.
As I was preparing to retire, I thought, “The 600 yuan was never recorded in any books. If I take it, no one will know, and there are no witnesses since everyone else has retired. I might as well let the 600 yuan retire with me!”
At that time, I had not yet started practicing Falun Dafa. I took the 600 yuan home without much thought. Now that I am practicing, I know that I should correct my past wrongdoings. I decided to donate the 600 yuan to a Dafa materials production site to help buy materials, using the money for a righteous cause while atoning for my past mistakes. As soon as I thought of this, I felt a piece of cold stuff slipping down my shoulder, and I realized that my decision was right.
When it was time for the morning exercises, even though I couldn’t stand straight due to the pain, I bit my lip and managed to complete the standing exercises by reciting, “Let joy be found in hardship.” (“Tempering the Will,” Hong Yin).
A miracle then occurred. Seven small holes appeared on the fist-sized lump. With a gentle press, pus and blood sprayed out like a squirt gun. The next day, the holes merged into a larger hole, about an inch in diameter. The pain was not too bad, and I was able to do the exercises normally.
The lump shrank to the size of a bean on the third day. After eating breakfast and sending righteous thoughts, I went out to clarify the facts. When I returned home at 11 a.m., the lump had disappeared, and was replaced by a layer of new skin. Tears filled my eyes. I felt immense gratitude toward Master. Indeed, looking within is a treasure.
After sending righteous thoughts one morning, I went to the market to clarify the facts. I noticed two women loading baskets onto a tricycle, ready to go home. Seizing the opportunity, I quickly approached and greeted them, “Hello! I’m glad you’ve finished selling your produce. Life is quite good here compared to the many disasters in the south! Let me share a good way to help you avoid such disasters.”
They asked me what it was. I replied, “By sincerely reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you will be safe and sound.”
They replied, “Good!” I asked if they had joined the Young Pioneers. They both said they had never worn a red scarf in their lives (those worn by the Young Pioneers). I gave each of them a Dafa amulet.
I then went to a nearby vendor to buy corn and clarify the facts. As soon as I picked up two ears of corn, I was knocked down by the women’s electric tricycle. I felt pain in my back and knees and couldn’t get up. They helped me up and checked on me. The owner of the tricycle patted me a few times and wanted to take me to the hospital.
I replied, “There’s no need. I have some tissues. That will be good enough. I’m a Dafa practitioner, and I’ll be fine in a few days. There’s no need to waste your hard-earned money on an expensive hospital visit. Please relax. I’m okay.” I wiped the dirt off my legs and looked up to see her crying. I asked her, “What’s wrong? Did you lose your money?”
She replied, “It’s not that. I must apologize to you. Just now, when you wanted to help me quit, I lied and said that I hadn’t joined the Youth League or the Young Pioneers so you would leave me alone. Now I see how kind you are, and I feel guilty about how I treated you. I’m sorry. The truth is, I did wear a red scarf and I joined the Youth League. Please help me quit.”
I responded, “I’m confused.”
The woman replied, “I did not trust you earlier. Now I see that you are a very kind person. Even though we don’t know each other, I shouldn’t have lied to someone like you, and I apologize.” I helped both women quit the CCP’s organizations and went on to purchase some corn.
The corn vendor said, “Xiao Wang [the owner of the tricycle] is really lucky today. She didn’t have to spend a penny and was spared from both natural and man-made disasters. We believe you. Please help my wife and me to quit the Youth League and Young Pioneers as well. We were both members. Please use our real names.”
I gave him and his wife amulets and told them to read them carefully, as they have more information than I could share. As I walked away, I distinctly heard them say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
