(Minghui.org) Here are the stories of two elderly women who have benefited from practicing Falun Dafa.
Encountering Someone with a Predestined Relationship
I went to a community to do some work and saw an elderly woman, who looked to be about 80 years old, holding the handrail tightly while walking downstairs backward. I asked her, “Why are you walking down the stairs like this?”
She replied, “My legs have been hurting for several years, and I don’t dare to go facing forward for fear of falling.”
She said she had sought many cures, but nothing helped. I told her to try reciting the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!” then she’d become well.
We repeated the words twice and her pain subsided. I said, “If you could read Falun Dafa books, that’d help you even more.”
“There were often [Dafa] materials left outside the entrance of my apartment,” she replied. “But my son was too scared to pick them up. I want to read them now. Can you please help me find a Dafa book?”
I told her that it’s hard to find new copies of Zhuan Falun. But if I had no luck getting her a new one, I would try my best to find her a used one.
A week later, I brought her a used copy. She was overjoyed and kept thanking me. I told her, “Please make sure to wash your hands before reading and do not fold the pages. You can get a notepad to write down what you don’t understand, but don’t write on the book. I will come back to discuss things with you in a week.” She agreed to adhere to those guidelines.
When I went to see her again, the woman told me she had already read Zhuan Falun twice. She came to understand she needed to enlighten to the Fa’s principles and be brave enough to spread it to others. Since none of her siblings were in good health, she asked me if it’d be okay to have them recite the auspicious phrases. I told her that, as long as they were clear-headed and truly believe Dafa is good, then it’d be fine.
After the Chinese New Year celebration was over, I visited her again. She had just come back from her hometown and had two lists with names of relatives and people who wanted to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.
I learned that her brother-in-law worked in the Police Department and was not allowed to practice Dafa, otherwise he would be arrested and receive a 5,000-yuan fine. Her oldest sister worked for a government agency, and her oldest brother worked in a privately-owned company. All these companies stipulated that if any of their employees practiced Falun Dafa, they would be arrested and forced pay a 5,000-yuan fine. If one failed to pay the fine, they would not be released.
She studied the Fa at set times every day. During a short period of time, she had read Zhuan Falun two more times and no longer needed her cane. She told everyone, “For this book, one not only has to read it, but also enlighten to its principles. This is the path I’ll take and stick with to the end!
“The reason I wanted to share my feelings is to tell people: ‘Dafa is really a great high-level Buddha Fa that teaches people to be good. As long as one improves one’s xinxing, one can get their illnesses healed and keep fit!’ I truly appreciate Master for helping me understand high-level principles within such a short period of time. I’ll continue to study the Fa well.”
Injury from a Car Accident Disappeared
I began practicing Falun Dafa prior to July 20, 1999 when the persecution of Dafa began. I’m 73 years old. Earlier this year, I was involved in a near fatal accident. It was Master who protected me and gave me a new life.
On the afternoon of January 3, I was riding my electric bike home from a market, when a strong force suddenly knocked me forward six meters, and I fell to the ground. My gloves were torn and the bike fell on top of me. I thought, “This is bad, this is bad!” But I then thought: “I have Master’s protection, it’s okay!” My lips were split open, there were lacerations on my leg, and my hands were swollen. I also could not move my left arm, which had turned black and purple.
The person who hit me was a young man, a courier. The car hit my left shoulder. The man was so scared that he didn’t know what to do. I thought to myself: “I must save this young man.” I then said to him, “Please help me stand up. I practice Falun Dafa. I’ll be fine.”
With much effort, he lifted the bike off of me and helped me to stand up.
“Please be sure to sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!’ and you’ll receive good fortune. Today, you ran into me, but if you had hit someone else, it’d have ruined your New Year celebration!”
He agreed and shouted out “Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!” He asked me how I was and lifted my lips to inspect my teeth, which were fine. I told him I was okay.
Despite the severe pain, I used my right hand to put my left hand on the handlebar and rode away. My intuition was that the young man was watching me closely.
My left arm was in excruciating pain. But I have faith in Master and Dafa. I’m a practitioner and knew my recovery would be extraordinary. Ordinary people say: “It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone.” However, that’s not the case for practitioners!
Sixteen days later, I went to my sister’s place to celebrate Chinese New Year and took on all the cooking work.
The injury caused by the car accident had healed without me noticing and, within just a month, I didn’t feel any pain at all!
