Many Thanks to Master for Saving Me

(Minghui.org) Although I’m 89 years old, my health is quite good. I can do everything, including cooking and working in the garden. I know that all people on Earth today are here for Dafa, the great law of the universe. Because I practice Falun Dafa, I’m happy and I feel fulfilled. I’m grateful for the salvation bestowed upon me by Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa. I would also like to express my appreciation to fellow practitioners for helping me on my cultivation path.

My Diseases Disappear

I experienced migraine headaches, stomachaches, frozen shoulders, and low back pain for many years. The back pain caused me to walk in a contorted manner. The pain caused by the fist-sized lump in my stomach was severe. It hurt all the time, especially at night. It was so painful that I couldn’t fall asleep. We had no money for medical treatment back then so I just endured it. Thus, I never knew what caused my pain.

I went to fortune tellers for help. One person told me that I would meet a Buddha in 20 years and my diseases would be cured. My husband said the fortune teller was just trying to comfort me. I was worried that I had to suffer for such a long time. So I went to temples, but nothing worked. I was nearly 60 at the time. I was thin, feeble, and unsteady on my feet. In despair I prepared my shroud and coffin.

A relative suggested I practice Falun Dafa. He said that Falun Dafa was a spiritual self-cultivation path that could improve my health. I told him that I would love to try, but no one practiced it in my town. From then on, my physical condition improved and I was able to help with some work in the fields. Looking back, I feel that Master already started to take care of me, because I wanted to practice Dafa.

I had two daughters. Both of them were married and lived with their parents-in-law and other extended family members. I was the one who had always been very ill, but my husband unexpectedly died. My daughters invited me to live with them, but I preferred to live alone because I did not feel comfortable living with so many people. I later remarried and moved in with my second husband. I then discovered that everyone in his family practiced Falun Dafa! I saw a photo of a man who looked kind and affable. I was told that he was Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa.

The next day my husband’s nephew gave me a book, Zhuan Falun and said, “You don’t seem to be in good health. If you sincerely say, ‘Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you will be blessed.”

I took his advice and said the nine words every day. I even said them when I walked or did housework. I said them before I went to bed. The nephew came to see me a week later. He encouraged me to practice Falun Dafa with his uncle. This was how I began practicing. That fortune teller was right. It really took 20 years!

It was difficult for me to study the Fa because I did not go to school. My stepson and his wife invited me to read Zhuan Falun with them. I also learned to read by studying the Fa with my husband. I studied very diligently, and in one year, I could read the book.

I focused on studying the Fa and doing the exercises without any thoughts of pursuit. Before I knew it, all my illnesses completely disappeared. The lump in my stomach was also gone!

Dafa Protected Me, and My Moral Character Elevated

One time, I became dizzy and fell. My vertigo was so intense that I didn’t dare open my eyes. I was bedridden and had to be spoon-fed for a month. With the protection of Dafa, I recovered without taking any medicine.

Ten years later, my second husband died and I moved in with my younger daughter. One day, I went out with her on an electric bike which was hit by a motorcycle. Two of my ribs were broken and I couldn’t move. I was hospitalized for seven days.

Dafa was rooted deeply in my heart. I did not think that I should stay in the hospital. As a cultivator, I did not want to cause trouble for others. The other party involved in the accident took the initiative to pay my medical bills. I did not ask for any compensation, and my daughter did not ask for anything. This would not happen if I were not a practitioner. My daughter lived on the third floor, and I could walk up the stairs by myself. Through diligent Fa study and by doing the Falun Dafa exercises, I recovered quickly.

To make it easier to take care of me, my older daughter rented a house with a courtyard near her home and moved me in. I planted some corn in the courtyard and grew more than 100 pounds. Since my daughter didn’t have time, and I couldn’t sell them, I asked a man in his 60s who lived nearby to help sell the corn. He was easy to talk to and came to my place several times. But after all the corn was sold he did not come back again.

I went to his house about two or three months later. He asked me in an unfriendly manner why I was there before I could say anything. When I asked for the money from the sale of the corn, he said that he had his house and sheep but no money. He then started to curse and threatened to beat me with a stick. I was disappointed and left.

Not only did I fail to get my money back, but I was also scolded. I thought it over and realized that I must have owed this man in a past lifetime and that this must be payback. Practicing Falun Dafa helped me remain calm, and I wasn’t angry. Master helped me to truly understand Dafa’s principles regarding personal profit and having tolerance.
