Overcoming Sickness Karma Through Faith in Master and the Fa

(Minghui.org) I’m an 81-year-old woman from the countryside who started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. In less than 10 days of first studying the Fa and doing the exercises, the various ailments that had plagued me for over 40 years, such as gastritis, bronchitis, headaches, insomnia, back pain, and anorexia completely disappeared. I have felt light and illness-free since then. I believe in Master and the Fa, and I will improve my xinxing by following Dafa’s requirements to strive forward on my cultivation path.

I’d like to share my experiences of overcoming sickness karma and exchange insights with other practitioners. Please point out anything inappropriate.

Master Helps Me Recover from an Accident

One winter day, when I was 78 years old, I was riding my tricycle back home from the market where I had been talking to people about Falun Dafa. The road was long and uphill, making the ride extremely strenuous. A kind neighbor saw me struggling and said, “Let me tie your tricycle to my electric bike and pull you. It’ll be faster, and you won’t get so tired.”

As the electric bike made a turn, it pulled my tricycle over, dragging me on the ground for several meters before stopping. I ended up with a cut above my right eye, with torn flesh flipping about. The neighbor was frightened and insisted on taking me to the clinic for stitches. I reassured him, “There’s no need to go there. My Master is watching over me. It’s fine. I don’t blame you for this.”

Once home, I rinsed the wound with saltwater, padded it with tissue paper and taped it up. By then, my eyelid was so swollen it covered my eye, making it hard to see. When my eldest son came home and saw me, he urged me to go to the hospital. I told him, “No need, Master is taking care of me.” When he asked how I got injured, I lied out of fear that he might forbid me from going out to clarify the truth in the future. So I said I had bumped into something in the yard.

The next day, I tripped at the front gate and injured my left knee, causing it to swell and hurt badly. Looking inward, I realized I hadn’t been truthful and had lied to my son. I admitted my mistake to Master and resolved to do better in the future. A few days later, the injuries to both my eye and knee healed completely.

Able to Walk Again Immediately After Saying I Could

During that same winter, I began to find it increasingly difficult to lift my legs for some reason. I tripped on the doorstep and injured my right leg. At that moment, my calf felt icy cold, and I couldn’t stand up. I called out in my heart, “Master, please help me, I must get up.” After more than 20 minutes, I managed to slowly get up and made my way into the house to prepare dinner. But by nightfall, my leg was in excruciating pain, my forehead was drenched in sweat, and I could no longer walk.

My son insisted on taking me to an orthopedic hospital the next day. Practitioner Ying came to my home and, upon seeing my condition, asked me what I thought. I responded, “I trust Master, I’m not going to any hospital.” “Then just say you’re fine, it doesn’t hurt, and you stand up to show your son,” she said. This was actually Master giving me a hint, but I didn’t realize it at the time.

My son called my nephew the following morning to drive over and take me to the hospital. I recalled what Ying had said and, enduring the severe pain, I got out of bed and stood up, saying, “I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt, I can walk.” Miraculously, the pain really did vanish. Tears of gratitude flowed as I knelt before Master’s portrait, pressed my palms together in front of my chest, and bowed, “Thank you, Master! I don’t know how much karma you’ve borne for me again. Thank you for your compassionate salvation!” My son was stunned and helped me up.

I then braved the heavy snow and went out to clarify the truth. I talked with many people that day. I knew it was Master’s support and the power of Dafa that made it possible.

I Got Well After Letting Go of Resentment

In the summer of 2023, I had itching and red spots on my skin. After three days, the itching spread all over my body, with every pore hurting intensely. I couldn’t sleep at night or eat during the day, which left me feeling very irritated and distracted. I looked inward but couldn’t find the root cause. This condition persisted for two months without any improvement. 

Despite continuing to do the three things, I was exhausted both physically and mentally, struggling to keep my spirits up. I studied the Fa more. While reading Lecture Four of Zhuan Falun, I suddenly realized that this was Master helping me improve my xinxing, eliminate karma, and develop gong [cultivation energy]. It was a great thing. I let go of my worries, left everything to Master, and went about my daily tasks as usual.

I recalled that, when I got married, my mother, who has since passed away, had missed the chance to buy me a clock for some reason, and I resented her for it. And when my mother-in-law was alive, she often falsely accused me, causing others to bully me. So I resented her as well. It turned out I harbored strong resentments, which is not the state of a cultivator and doesn’t align with the Fa. Regardless of how poorly they treated me or bullied me when they were alive, from a cultivator’s perspective, it might have been a way to repay my karmic debts, which is a good thing. After changing my mindset, the resentment for them disappeared instantly. Amazingly, the itching that had lasted for four months also vanished.

Five days before the Chinese New Year, I experienced pain in my lower abdomen and blood in my urine. I needed to use the restroom every half hour, which eventually increased to every five minutes. The constant pain made it impossible to eat or sleep. On the fourth day, I passed pus and flesh-like material in my urine. I forced myself to study the Fa, do the exercises, and send righteous thoughts, thinking of letting go of thoughts of life and death and leaving everything to Master. By the afternoon of the fifth day, Chinese New Year’s Eve, the pain subsided, and the frequency of my restroom use decreased to once every hour.

I started having a fever on the sixth day, the first day of the Chinese New Year. On the second day of the New Year, I was too weak to get out of bed and was in a daze. My eldest son was frightened and wanted me to take medicine. I told him, “I have Master taking care of me, I don’t need medicine. You know that before I obtained the Fa, neither injections nor medicine could cure my illnesses. The life I have now is extended by Master. Over the past 20-plus years of cultivation, I have only relied on my faith, and I’ve come this far under Master’s protection. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Master takes care of everything for me!”

That night, while I was semi-conscious, my second son placed a fever patch on my forehead. When I woke up, I felt very uncomfortable with my forehead covered in sweat. I asked him what he had put on my forehead. When he said it was a fever patch, I told him, “This is harming me!” I took it off and threw it away, while continuously reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

By the fourth day of the New Year, I was able to get up and sit for a while, and I gradually recovered. Two days later, my nephew and niece came to see me and wanted to take me to the hospital. I said, “The hospital is not where I belong, I’m not going!” My son added, “She neither takes medicine nor gets injections. Going to the hospital won’t help.” They were not convinced and six of them held me down to force-feed me medicine. After spitting it out, I told them that they were harming me and not to worry because Master was taking care of me. They stopped insisting on me taking medicine or going to the hospital.

Throughout this ordeal, I constantly recited and listened to the Fa with the help of other practitioners. When I could hold the book, I studied the Fa, sent righteous thoughts continuously, and looked inward. I realized that my nagging and resentment for my eldest son was related to human emotions and attachments, which were all my fault. Emotions and attachments are rooted in selfishness and must be eliminated. Afterward, my health quickly improved, and I was able to go out again to clarify the truth and help people quit the CCP.

Reflecting on 20-plus years of cultivation, I know that the key to my progress has been the faith I have in Master and the Fa. Every hurdle, every difficulty, every step on my path of cultivation has been under Master’s compassionate protection. I am deeply grateful and can only repay Master’s kindness by being diligent in cultivation, doing the three things well, and helping Him to save more people. Thank you, Dafa! Thank you, Master! Thank you to all the practitioners who’ve helped me!
