(Minghui.org) I heard some elderly practitioners experienced illness symptoms, and had to take medicine or were hospitalized. I’d like to tell you about my recent experiences and I hope they’ll help other practitioners overcome their tribulations.
My Gum Pain Is Gone
The upper left side of my gum hurt when I woke up. The tooth was previously removed so I wondered why I was in pain. I looked inward and wondered if it was because of my attachment to eating meat. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the attachment, but my gum still hurt.
When I recently did the second exercise at 1 a.m. the neighbors upstairs were very loud—their dog barked, and it sounded as though someone was jogging. I no longer felt tranquil; in fact I was so mad that my heart pounded. I thought, “What are they doing? They’re never quiet! I’ll knock on their door after I do the exercises!”
Then I remembered what Master said,
“To be able to regard anyone and everyone with compassion, to have love for all people, really isn’t something the average person can achieve. Harder still is to have a sense of compassion toward all living things in everything you do. But that is something practitioners of Dafa have to be able to do!” (“A Wake-Up Call”)
I realized I failed to follow Master’s teaching and I had some grievances for my neighbors. I also recalled that I had been unhappy about them when they told every neighbor except me about their renovation last year. I thought, “You live directly above me. Why didn’t you tell me?”
I realized my jealousy, complaints, fighting mentality, and lack of compassion caused the pain! My neighbors gave me an opportunity to cultivate compassion and tolerance. Instead of complaining I should thank them. I said, “Master, I was wrong! I’ll correct myself.” As soon as I had this thought the pain disappeared.
Master Is in Control
I was studying the Fa with other practitioners when I suddenly felt dizzy and I could not see. I told Master, “You are in control!” A few seconds later I was able to see and I was no longer dizzy. Master saved me again.
A Practitioner’s Leg Pain Disappears
Li works as a housekeeper for an elderly practitioner and she told me about her recent experience.
After our group Fa study she planned to go shopping for some eggs, but her right leg suddenly hurt. The pain was so bad that she couldn’t put her foot on the ground. She looked within and found she resented the elderly practitioner she worked for, because the practitioner often created conflicts out of nothing and argued with Li.
Li immediately sent forth righteous thoughts and said, “I don’t want these bad notions!” She stomped her foot and thought, “The pain must leave! Master is looking after me. No one can hurt me. I don’t acknowledge it!” Her foot and leg stopped suddenly stopped hurting.
Every thought a practitioner has is critical. When we experience tribulations, we should deny them and remember that they are illusions. We should stand firmly on this thought: Only Master is in control of us Falun Dafa practitioners. Our loopholes will be corrected according to the Fa. No one else deserves to be in control. We should look within, correct ourselves, and ask Master to be in control. The tribulations will disappear.
Articles in which cultivators share their understandings typically reflect an individual's perception at a point in time based on their cultivation state, and they are offered in the spirit of enabling mutual elevation.
