(Minghui.org) I am a 60-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner who obtained the Fa in 1996. After starting to practice Dafa, I no longer suffered from any illness. Thus, I will continue to tell everyone that Dafa is great!
However, I recently experienced illness symptoms. I became thinner and thinner and always felt thirsty and weak. I also experienced blurred vision and pain in my joints. I just felt uncomfortable throughout my body. My family members were very worried about me and asked me to go to the hospital to be examined. People who know me also felt that I lost too much weight. My weight dropped from 145 lbs to 125 lbs within a short time. My perception was that something was wrong with my xinxing, and that I must quickly adjust my mindset. Thus, I took sick leave at work which my boss agreed to.
Tribulation Due to Resentment Attachment
After I got home, I calmed down, looked inward, and found that my attachment to resentment was the root cause.
My colleague told me she got a salary increase, an additional 500 yuan per month. Our boss agreed to her request for a salary increase and told her not to tell me, because I also had asked for a salary increase multiple times, but my boss had refused to do so. After hearing this from my colleague, I thought that I am a Dafa practitioner and should always be considerate of others. If something is mine, I will not lose it. If something is not mine, I should not fight for it. However, my heart was touched, and I felt unbalanced in my mind, as my salary has been 2,500 yuan for 16 years.
I developed resentment towards my boss and stopped looking inward. Thus, I failed this test. Then, the next tribulation came. My colleague co-worker asked for leave and didn’t come to work for a long time, so my workload doubled. My resentment got stronger. The evil factor in another dimension saw this clearly and took advantage of my loopholes.
When I calmed down and looked deeply inward. I found many attachments, such as a competitive mentality, jealousy, lust, resentment, personal interest, fear, vanity, showing off, looking down on others, and so on. I knew I must eliminate and disintegrate these attachments.
I recited Master’s Fa again and again:
“… “I’m Li Hongzhi's disciple, I don’t want other arrangements or acknowledge them”—then they won’t dare to do that. So it can all be resolved. When you can really do that, not just saying it but putting it into action, Master will definitely stand up for you.” (Fa-Lecture During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference)
One Thought Makes the Difference
I diligently studied the Fa and transcribed it every day. I increased the amount of time that I practiced the exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts. Dafa’s principles touched my heart, corrected my thoughts, and purified my body. Master was around me and strengthened my righteous thoughts and righteous actions. I knew I should negate all arrangements by the evil old forces and walk righteously on the cultivation path arranged by Master.
My sister-in-law has diabetes. She came to my home to test my blood sugar with her blood sugar meter. I couldn’t refuse, but I was very clear in my mind. I told Master that I wouldn’t acknowledge any results, as they were illusions and had nothing to do with me. The result showed that my blood sugar level was 24, while a normal level is around 5-6. My sister-in-law asked me to go to the hospital to take insulin shots to avoid any diabetic complications. I was not moved by this illusion. This one thought was so important. Whether one’s thought is a human thought or a divine thought makes a huge difference.
Dafa’s boundless principles firmly uphold my righteous thoughts and actions.
One night, I sent righteous thoughts from 6:50 p.m. to 9:20 p.m. That was really a battle between good and evil. In the beginning, I felt weak; I couldn’t keep my body still and my mind clear. Nor would my palm stand straight. Then I recited the verse for sending forth righteous thoughts and asked Master to strengthen my righteous thoughts. As I know that each Dafa practitioner is watched by Law-guardian Deities and eight types of Heavenly Law-Guardians. I asked all of them to play their roles. My mind was cleansed during the process of sending forth righteous thoughts. My body became stable, and my palm stood straight up like a sharp sword standing there, straight and motionless. I was totally in a state of “wuwei (no action)” that was very beautiful, magnificent, and majestic. No words could express my gratitude to Master.
For a consecutive four days, I increased the second exercise (holding the law wheel) from one hour to two hours. Through a large amount of Fa study, exercises, sending righteous thoughts, and looking inward, I quickly recovered and all the symptoms of diabetes disappeared. I feel like I resumed a diligent cultivation state like when obtaining the Fa. Master removed the bad substances from my body. All the symptoms of diabetes disappeared within just 12 days.
“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
No human words can express my gratitude to Master. I will be more diligent in cultivation!
