Master Carried Me Through Enormous Illness Karma

(Minghui.org) I fell severely ill in June one year. I felt dizzy, my vision was blurred, and my movement and speech were impaired. Recognizing that it was interference from the old forces, I negated it and searched within for any attachments I might be harboring.

I didn’t tell my husband and son about my condition because I didn’t want them to send me to a hospital. Instead, I focused on studying the Falun Dafa teachings, and doing the three things: practicing the exercises, sending righteous thoughts, and clarifying the truth to others. After more than a year of diligence, I was healthy again.

A practitioner asked what I did to get through such a big tribulation, I said, “Master carried me through.” When I felt that it was becoming physically unbearable, I thought of Master’s words:

“When you feel very uncomfortable, it indicates that things will turn around after reaching an extreme.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)

I was able to calm down and stay focused on doing the three things.

I also repeatedly recited:

“...cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while transforming gong is done by one’s master.”

and:

“A cultivator believes he should only focus on practicing, without paying attention to obtaining gong.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)

Each day, I strengthened my righteous thoughts and acted according to the teachings. This is how I overcame my tribulation. I cannot thank Master enough for saving my life.

While I was battling an illness, I assisted my mother, who is also a practitioner, in recovering from hers. Master taught us:

“From now on, whatever you do, you should consider others first, so as to attain the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and altruism.” (“Non-Omission in Buddha-Nature,” Essentials for Further Advancement)

Inspired by Master’s words, I invited my parents to live with me. My mother was ill at the time, and my father, also a practitioner, was struggling to take care of her alone. I wanted to take her to a Fa study group, so she could upgrade her character more quickly, but I realized that I would need to carry her on a bicycle to the study group and when going out to tell people the truth about the persecution. She weighed 30 pounds more than I did, and I was experiencing health issues at the time. I felt that I did not have the strength to carry her on a bike.

I strengthened my righteous thoughts and told myself, “I am a practitioner and Master will help me carry my mother.” With this thought, I rode my bike even on hot summer days to take her out to clarify the truth twice a day, and to the Fa study group once a day.

My parents left a week later, and I suddenly realized that both my mother and I were healthy and energetic again.

The day after I completed writing this article, I realized that my right leg was no longer lame, and my physical condition had significantly improved. Thank you Master!
