(Minghui.org) I’m 78 years old and began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Over the years, I was able to avoid danger many times with Master’s protection. No matter how perilous the situation or how hard the tribulation, I never stopped studying the Fa and doing the exercises. With steadfast belief in Master and Dafa, I have managed to walk my cultivation path to this day. Below are some of the lessons I learned.
I Found the True Way
I used to have many illnesses, suffering from bone spurs and sciatica that hunched my back. I was hospitalized many times for stomach problems and had kidney stones that caused excruciating pain. I also could not lift my right arm. My wife passed away when I was 40 years old. I was exhausted, both physically and mentally, wondering when my misery would end and where my life was leading me. I cannot bear to recollect those times.
My uncle said to me in 1998, “Why don’t you come to do the Falun Dafa exercises with me?” I declined his offer and said that I only wanted to follow a true way. He asked me again the next day when he saw me in a daze. I still refused.
My uncle said the same thing to me on the third day. I replied, “I’ve been looking for a true way to practice since I was a teenager. I don’t know when I’ll be able to find a real master to save me from my bitterness.” My uncle asked me to give it a try since the practice was different from all the others. Due to his kindness and persistence, I reluctantly agreed.
He started to teach me the exercises and asked me to listen to a recording of the instructions. He then turned on the practice music. A resonant voice said, “The first exercise, Buddha Stretching a Thousand Hands.” I stretched hard and felt every acupuncture point and energy channel was opened up by a powerful force. My entire body was purified. I was stunned and thought, “My goodness, this is the true way I’ve been looking for all my life!” I knew I had found my Master when I finished all five exercises. I could not wait to start practicing Dafa.
I started a Fa-study group at my home and cultivated with other practitioners. We followed the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance and shared with each other to improve ourselves.
My kidney stone came out by itself through the urinary track in two months. I was also able to raise my arm above my head. All my illnesses disappeared.
Master Is Next to Me All the Time
Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), began to persecute Dafa practitioners on July 20, 1999. I had only one thought: “No matter how hard the persecution gets, I will persist and cultivate all the way to the end!” I steadfastly believed in Master and Dafa. In order to let people know that Dafa was being wronged, I began to distribute flyers and put up posters in towns and villages.
While putting up small self-adhesive posters on a few dozen utility poles, I saw one more pole at the last turn. I tried to take the posters out from my pocket, but failed after several tries. I then turned my head and saw someone watching me. It was such a close call; I could have been in serious trouble if it wasn’t for Master’s protection.
I went to a mountain village to distribute Dafa flyers. After I finished a large batch, I suddenly saw a car parked in front of me. Four people were watching me. I continued to walk as though nothing had happened. I kept distributing flyers after they left and went home after midnight.
A fellow practitioner and I went to another mountain village to distribute flyers and put up posters. Just when we finished and were ready to go home, a police car appeared in front of us. It then backed up. We kept walking, but the officers drove in front of us again and backed up. they did this four times. I told the other practitioner, “Maybe they’ve discovered the flyers or posters. Let’s get a motorcycle ride and go home.”
My companion was a bit worried, so I said, “What we’re doing is the most righteous thing in the universe. With Master and the Fa around, we have nothing to fear. They’re probably just suspicious. We need to completely deny any factors of the old forces. We have to have righteous thoughts and actions!” With Master’s protection, we returned home safely.
I Remained Safe in Multiple Car Accidents
As I rode my bike to buy cement, I was hit by a motorcycle from behind. The bicycle was flung a dozen meters away. At over 70 years of age, I was thrown into the air but somehow landed on my feet. The motorcycle proceeded for another 20 some meters. The young driver looked at me in a daze and didn’t know what to do. I calmly said to him, “Young man, I’m a Dafa practitioner, I will not cause you any trouble. Please remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ You can leave now.”
Another time, I was riding home after distributing Dafa materials when a car knocked me to the ground. The driver’s face turned pale when she saw she had hit an old man. I got up slowly and said, “Don’t worry, young lady. I cultivate Falun Dafa. I will not cause you any trouble.”
I told her that Falun Dafa is the righteous way and asked her to believe that “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I also asked her to quit the CCP and its affiliates, and she readily agreed. I then gave her some Dafa pamphlets to take home.
Afterward, my hand was sore and had turned red. I thought it would affect my image as a practitioner. So before I went to my nephew’s home the next day, I sent forth righteous thoughts to clear away all the evil factors and asked Master for help. My hand returned to normal by the morning.
I Witnessed the Power of Sending Righteous Thoughts
An elderly practitioner’s children lived away from home, so he had to take care of himself. I was concerned and visited him often. After he moved to a new place, I dropped by and heard him moaning in bed. He was not opening the door when I knocked. I called out, “Why don’t you open the door?” He said it was too dirty inside. I replied, “It’s OK. Open the door please.”
It was a big mess inside. Feces was spread all the way from the bed to the toilet. Dirty diapers scattered the floor, and the house was smelled awful. I picked up the diapers, one by one with a grabber and put them into the garbage can. I went to another practitioner’s home after I cleaned up the house. I explained the situation to the practitioner and suggested that the elderly practitioner was experiencing sickness karma: “He moved here only two weeks ago. We need to help him send forth righteous thoughts and clear up his cultivation field.”
The practitioner and I went to the elderly practitioner’s home and began to send righteous thoughts. Within an hour, the elderly practitioner became invigorated. His daughter-in-law felt it was miraculous.
Another practitioner was expelled from school because she practiced Falun Dafa. She cried all day long and lost her appetite. Her mother talked with her, but to no avail, so she asked me to go over and help.
I sent righteous thoughts on the way. As I entered the door, I thought, “I’m a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple. I will not allow the old forces to persecute fellow practitioners. All evil forces shall turn to dust!” The young practitioner became more positive after I finished sending righteous thoughts.
I’ll do my best to complete the three things that Master asks and diligently follow his teachings to fulfill my mission.
