(Minghui.org) Two weeks ago at work, a large piece of iron weighing over 150 kilos (over 339 pounds) fell on my right foot. I remained calm, thinking that it hadn’t injured any of my bones.
Colleagues rushed over and asked if I was okay. I told them I was fine, but then I thought it would be a good idea to take off my shoe before my foot swelled.
My boss then came over to check on me. As I was about to take off my sock, my foot became painful and I couldn’t do it. I told my boss I was fine, and went home on my electric bike.
My boss followed me home and asked me to take my sock off so he could take a look at my foot. I thought it was a good chance to validate the Fa, so I took off my sock. There was visible injury on the surface of my foot, so my boss said I should go to the hospital.
“Don’t worry about me,” I assured him, “You’d better get back to work at the factory. I will be at work tomorrow as usual.” I had to insist he leave my home. By then, my injured foot had become very painful and I couldn’t walk much on it.
The pain became more intense while I was lying in bed that evening, so I turned on my computer and began studying the Fa. Gradually, the pain eased. Then I thought that I should do the exercises, but the pain came back again while I was doing the exercises.
“You are grimacing in pain,” my wife said to me, but I kept on with the exercises. While doing the first exercise, I stretched even more than usual and kept rectifying my state of mind to keep myself focused, but the pain was still there. While I was doing the fourth exercise, suddenly I had diarrhea and rushed to the bathroom, but I didn’t make it in time and had an accident.
“Well, I was running just now, so this must be a hint from Master that my foot is fine,” I thought to myself. I then did the fifth exercise. I sat in the full lotus position for 50 minutes even though I was in intense pain.
I went to work as usual the next day. When my boss saw me, he ran out of the workshop and said excitedly, “Your practice is truly incredible! I can’t help but be convinced! When you said you would come to work, I thought you were just bragging, but you really did it.”
A few years ago, someone broke their little finger, and the boss had to pay over 10,000 yuan in compensation. This time, a large piece of iron landed on my foot with such force that one would have expected that all the bones in my foot would be broken. But because I practice Falun Gong, my foot was fine and I could go to work the next day. My boss personally witnessed the miraculous power of Falun Dafa.
Even though my foot was a bit swollen, it wasn’t truly injured. I looked within and tried to identify what caused the incident.
I remembered that a few days earlier, while I was handing out truth-clarification materials at the market, I saw an elderly man riding an electric bike slowly towards me with his wife sitting at the back.
“Take a copy. It’s good for you,” I said to the man, who hesitated for a moment and then fell down, the bike on top of both of them. As I quickly helped them up, I noticed that the woman’s left leg was under the bike. She said, “I can’t move my right leg.” I could see that she was able to move both legs.
Just as I was about to further clarify the truth to them, the wife said, “Look, I’m injured. What are you going to do about it?”
I thought to myself, "I am doing the right thing in saving people, so I shouldn’t be blackmailed like this." In fact, this thought wasn’t righteous itself, and because I was thinking this way, I failed to further clarify the truth to them at that moment.
When the man heard what his wife said, he turned the throttle and rode off with his wife. It seemed that he didn’t want his wife to pursue the matter. After they rode away, I realized that, because I wasn’t thinking righteously, the couple missed the chance to learn the truth and be saved.
A few days later, a fellow practitioner asked me to go and visit an unlawfully detained practitioner in jail with his lawyer. I was really pleased because that day happened to be my 60th birthday. To participate in rescuing a fellow practitioner was a wonderful birthday gift!
That day, my boss told me to go home quickly just before clocking out because I had told him what I was going to do, and he wanted to be supportive.
When I got home, my son was ready to celebrate my birthday. I said to him, “I need to go visit a fellow practitioner in jail with his lawyer.” He didn’t say anything and just smiled. My wife said, “Our daughter will soon be here, too.”
“Please call her and tell her thank you but please don’t come today because I need to go out,” I said to my wife.
My daughter is also very supportive of me practicing Falun Dafa, even though she hasn’t started the practice herself.
Since my right foot was still pretty swollen, none of my shoes would fit. I had planned to get another larger pair but didn’t have time. So I just loosened the shoelace and managed to get my foot in. Then I went out with the other practitioner.
Later, we rushed between two jails for a whole day to try to rescue fellow practitioners, and I didn’t feel any pain in my foot. On our way back, I noticed that my foot was no longer swollen. The other practitioner said, “We are doing something righteous. How can your foot not be back to normal?” It was truly amazing!
