Helping Practitioners Mired in Tribulations

(Minghui.org) We all came to assist Master. It hasn’t been easy to make it through the persecution to this day, and I especially treasure the predestined relationships I have with other practitioners. When they encountered difficulties, I treated their issues as my own, and we ended up cooperating well.

The Doctor Said, “This Was Truly a Miracle!”

Last summer, a practitioner from my hometown called and said that his wife had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. His wife is a practitioner, and he asked me to help by sending righteous thoughts. Putting down the phone, I immediately sent righteous thoughts to negate the old forces’ persecution and help strengthen her main consciousness.

I rode my electric bicycle to the in-patient building and found a place outside near the building where I could send righteous thoughts in close proximity. I saw some of his family members come out at 1 p.m. They got into his son-in-law’s car, and left, so I assumed his wife was out of danger.

He later told me that his wife’s heart stopped, and she had no pulse. When the doctor asked, “Do you still want us to rescue her?” He replied firmly, “Yes, even if there is one chance, I want to save her!” Besides asking Master to help save his wife, he also called me, and he kept reciting Master’s poem:

“Immense

The firmament, infinitely distant,With a shift in thought, comes before the eyes;Heaven and earth, boundlessly vast,Falun, heaven and earth rotate.”(Hong Yin)

Protected by benevolent Master, his wife survived. The doctor who was rescuing his wife said, “This was truly a miracle!”

Helping a Practitioner Negate the Persecution

A practitioner called me on August 15, 2023, and asked me to come to his home. He said he had not been feeling well for several days.

He was emaciated and kept vomiting, his stomach hurt so badly that it was hard for him to endure, and he lost his ability to maintain righteous thoughts. He had asked his wife to notify his family to prepare for the worst situation.

When I arrived at his home, his sister had already convinced him to go to the hospital. I accompanied him to the hospital, where the doctor ordered a gastroscopy test. The result would be available in seven days.

I went to his home on the third morning. We read together an article, “Control Every Single Thought and Negate the Old Forces’ Arrangements,” which helped enlighten us on how to negate and not acknowledge the old forces’ arrangements. We realized that Master offered him additional time to break through the illusion of illness and look inward. It was also a cultivation opportunity for both of us. When I was about to leave, I asked him, “Which practitioner do you want to study the Fa with?” He replied, “I don’t need anyone.”

On my way home, I thought I shouldn’t listen to him—I should ask some practitioners to come read the Fa with him and help send righteous thoughts. We should neither let the old forces isolate this practitioner from the rest of us, nor allow the old forces to seize on his shortcomings to persecute him physically and weaken his willpower.

I contacted another practitioner the following morning. I told her about his tribulation and asked her to study the Fa and send righteous thoughts with him. That afternoon, my daughter and I went there to read the Fa with him. Another practitioner came by, and I asked her to notify the other practitioners to send righteous thoughts for him. I told her that whoever could come and study the Fa with him should try to do so.

When I went to see him on the morning of day five, he felt much better and could eat some breakfast.

On the afternoon of day six, I went to his home to study the Fa. When I arrived, he was eating watermelon. We read most of a lecture that afternoon, and afterwards we sent righteous thoughts. We also read two inspiring experience-sharing articles on the Minghui website.

On the afternoon of day seven, when another practitioner and I went to study the Fa with him, he was kneeling on the couch and appeared to be in great pain. The other practitioner asked him, “What did you eat for lunch?” He replied, “What I ate is not causing the pain.” I didn’t say anything, but his stomachache kept getting worse. When the other practitioner asked the question again, he became impatient. I then interjected, “You said it’s not what you ate. You were fine before, but you began hurting as soon as you finished eating, aren’t you being interfered with what you just ate? You should eliminate whatever is causing the issue.”

What I said obviously frustrated him. He stopped reading the Fa, walked into his bedroom, and refused to come out. After we sent righteous thoughts, I went to his room and called him. He was lying in bed with his eyes closed, and he said impatiently, “Please leave me alone. You go ahead and study the Fa on your own.” I replied, “You can’t just stop reading the Fa with us because we have different understandings of the situation. Isn’t this interference from the old forces? It doesn’t allow you to study the Fa in order to persecute you.” But he still refused to come out and read with us.

During the time when I resumed reading with the other practitioners, Master made me recall the Fa:

“In order to fill his stomach, he ate whatever was available to him; he was not particular about what he ate as he just wanted to fill up his stomach and was without attachment to any particular food.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)

I realized that I was wrong. After we finished reading, I mentioned the above passage of the Fa to the other practitioners and said that my understanding was off. If we said that what he ate caused the tribulation, then wouldn’t we be acknowledging the old forces and the persecution?

After I was done talking with the other practitioners, I went to the ailing practitioner’s room again. I noticed that he had calmed down and sat up, so I shared with him what I enlightened to and told him that even though our understandings were different, we shouldn’t isolate ourselves from each other because it would affect our cultivation environment. We should instead cultivate diligently together.

I felt better because I identified my shortcomings and eliminated the gaps between us.

When I went to his home on day nine, he was sitting on the couch in the full-lotus position with his hands conjoined. I said, “Let’s send righteous thoughts.” His wife, who is also a practitioner, joined us, and the three of us meditated together, and studied the Fa afterwards. When we finished, he said, “Please tell the others not to come today. I don’t want to take time away from their doing things to validate the Fa!”I replied, “I don’t know who is coming, so I can’t notify everyone. Let whoever wants to come, come. We need to study the Fa anyway. It doesn’t matter much where we do it.”

His mood stabilized, and he soon recovered.

Snapping Out of My Abnormal State

My husband and I went to my daughter’s home in the south to look after our granddaughter in May 2023. Her place is in a new residential area, and there are no retail stores, so people order things online. I needed to buy necessities through WeChat (a Chinese social media) on my cell phone. The old forces took advantage of my attachment to have me occupied—I would buy something one day and returned it the next day, my precious time was wasted without me realizing it.

I suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous at 3 p.m., on June 26, 2023, and began spitting out yellow bile. I couldn’t eat or drink, and I was very weak and sweating profusely. I realized I was being persecuted by the old forces because of my attachments.

I’ve practiced cultivation for more than two decades, so I wondered why this happened. I realized that it was all an illusion! I immediately sent righteous thoughts to negate the old forces’ arrangements and the persecution. Even though I had attachments, I was still cultivating, Master was taking care of me, and the old forces were not in a position to persecute me.

Besides sending righteous thoughts, I recited “On Dafa” and I kept chanting, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” Since I couldn’t read Dafa books, I just listened to Master’s recorded lectures in Guangzhou City, and I finished listening the nine lectures in three days. My daughter also made the time to read Zhuan Falun to me.

I kept doing the exercises and also looked inward. I found some of my attachments, including that I would just go through the motions when I read the Fa and did the exercises. I had also developed an attachment to Wechat, which negatively impacted my cultivation. Three days later, I was back to normal.

Through this trial, I came to realize that as long as I have Master and Dafa, and look inward, there is no tribulation I can’t pass.

I’ve been through many tribulations during my cultivation of more than 20 years. There were conflicts in my family, conflicts among practitioners, and the persecution from the CCP. Even though the road has been bumpy, Master’s benevolent protection and enlightenment have helped me come this far. The only way I can express my gratitude to Master is by studying the Fa well and doing the things that I’m supposed to do.
