I am a 53 year-old female Dafa practitioner. On September 1, 2003, a heavy truck knocked me down while I was crossing the road.
Being very clear-headed at that time, I thought, "I am a Dafa practitioner, and I should be all right." I stood up right away. Both of the people in the truck came over. While I was about to ask them to help me stand up, another thought flashed to my mind, "No. I must stand up by myself," so I stood up. They asked me, "Are you all right?" I thought that I should save these people and clarify the truth to them, so I told them I was fine. When I began to talk, I noticed that my left incisor was broken. There were also two people passing by. I continued talking, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. You are lucky that you have knocked me down. You could have gotten into trouble if you had knocked down somebody else. We Falun Gong practitioners are good people. It is all right if you can remember that Falun Dafa is good." They nodded, but still dared not leave. I repeated it several times, asking them to remember, "Falun Dafa is good." I also persuaded them to leave.
Because the collision was a shock, I felt my body shivering. I pressed my palms together in front of me to give thanks for Master's protection. After I was indoors, I noticed that both of my elbows were bruised--I was in a short sleeve shirt. Recalling what had happened, I remembered that the truck first struck my left incisor, but I did not feel any pain. I only felt a bit uncomfortable when I was eating, and that disappeared completely the next day. I remembered that my head hit the ground first. Normally the back of the head should have hit the ground first. But I did not feel a bump on the back of my head, nor did I feel any pain. I only felt a slight pain at the top of my head. I felt some pain in my neck when I washed my face the next morning. By the third day my neck just felt uncomfortable. I also felt pain in the muscles of my lower abdomen, like the ache after doing physical exercises.
Based on my judgment, such a strong impact could have knocked me a great distance. But the result showed that only one of my teeth had absorbed it all. In addition, I only lost a small piece of that tooth, less than a millimeter long. I dare not imagine and cannot figure out our how Master endured this accident for me. However, I know that I was given a second chance at life.
After I was knocked down my first thought of saving people was a selfless thought with no selfishness, a thought of considering others before oneself. However, I was not born with it. Nor does it show how great a disciple is. This thought originated from Dafa. I have reached such realm because I have cultivated Dafa. It is the result of Master's protection and my melting into Dafa. From then on, I have become more aware of Master's grandness and Master's protection of every being. Therefore, I have written this to glorify Master. I have no words to express Master's vast and mighty grace to me.
