(Clearwisdom.Net) I have recently observed that some practitioners in physical tribulation are passively enduring the pain, seeing no way out. Some lost their willpower and left their bodies. I felt that I should talk about my experience for others' reference.

I stepped out of Heizuizi Women's Jail in Jilin Province with righteous thoughts on November 21, 2003. I was tied to the "Dead Person's Bed" ⁽¹⁾ for almost 2 years and could barely lift my arms. On the day I came home, my younger sister took me to her home. She cooked me some noodles cut into small pieces. I tried hard with my right hand, and I still could not put the food into my mouth. Then, I tried hard with my left hand, and finally, I took a first bite. By the third bite, I was so exhausted that I felt dizzy and nauseous.

My house was sold in 1999 when my husband and I were sent to the forced labor camp for practicing Falun Gong. My husband left the labor camp on September 30, 2003 and stayed with his nephew. My sister called my husband the day I arrived home. HHe came to pick me up to stay with him. He himself had been out of the labor camp for just less than a month, and had red scabies all over his body, and yet, he had to take care of me.

At that time, I felt it extremely difficult to make a slight movement. My bones hurt so badly all over my body that I could neither sit nor lie down. Because I was in jail for 3 years and could not keep up with the Fa-rectification outside, I thought it was what I had to endure.

After I went home, I did not delay in practicing the Falun Gong exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts. Even now my husband still jokes that my 4 poses look the same when I did the second exercises because I could not lift my arms. The 4 poses all became "Holding the Wheel in Front of the Lower Abdomen (Fuqian Baolun)". When I sent forth righteous thoughts, I get very bad headaches and my eyes hurt so badly. I clamped down on my teeth and insisted on sending righteous thoughts each time. My buttocks seemed to have thorns growing out and it was very painful when I sat. Even so, I seldom lied down and insist on sitting to study the Fa.

During the first couple of days, my husband helped me to put my clothes on. Later, I insisted on dressing myself, even though it took several hours to do it by myself. I was also tired and dizzy. It was really very difficult. After two or three days, I went to the bathroom by myself. Because I knew Master was taking care of me, anything that should not happen would not happen. After a week, I started to wash my own underwear and towels. These easy tasks required all my strength to complete. I would never forget the difficulty during that time. Just because of this, I recovered very fast. My body rapidly changed during the 2 short months.

The reason I wrote this article is that I hope all practitioners could move forward in their tribulation and break through it, and you will see a whole new world.

(1) The four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four corners of an icy cold metal bed. The practitioner cannot move at all. Neither is he allowed to get up to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom.
