Breaking through the Tribulation of Illness with Firm Belief in Dafa

(Clearwisdom.net)

After being tested by all the tribulations over the last six years, Dafa practitioners have become more and more mature and stable in Fa rectification. Recently, I read some articles on Clearwisdom that were written by some fellow practitioners and was very moved and inspired. In particular, I felt very relieved when I read the stories about those fellow practitioners who broke through the tribulation of illness with their righteous thoughts and became very regretful for those whose human bodies were claimed by the tribulation of illness. In the following I shall write out my experience of breaking through from the tribulation of illness to share with fellow practitioners. If there is anything improper, please kindly point it out.

I started to practice Falun Gong in March 1999. In the beginning I did not understand Dafa very well, but I knew from my practical experiences that Dafa was good. On July 20, 1999, the persecution against Falun Gong started, like the lord of terror covering the earth. It was like heaven was collapsing and all people were affected by the suffocating atmosphere. Because we lost our previous environment of cultivating together after our practice site was banned, I became less diligent in my cultivation than before and started to be busy with my household.

In the spring of 2003, I did not feel very well physically. When I went to a hospital, the doctor told me that I was suffering from cancer of the liver. Although I did not know why, I felt no panic in my mind, while my family members were very stressed at the news. Everyone knows that the survival rate for a liver cancer patient is not very good. Because my family members persuaded me, I resorted to some medical treatment for a certain period, for which I spent more than 10,000 yuan but received no positive effects. On the contrary, it became more serious than before. It caused such great pain inside my chest that I had difficulty turning myself over. I thought that would be the end of my life.

At the time, I remembered Dafa and Teacher and the good times of my cultivation in Dafa. At this thought, I made up my mind that I would renew my cultivation in Dafa. With such a determination, I immediately felt relaxed physically and became able to support myself to study the Fa and do the Dafa exercises.

Then the power of Dafa genuinely manifested in me. Without thinking about it, I started to recover and it was not long before I went out for Fa validation and Fa rectification. Sometimes I had to cover more than 20 km on foot to distribute truth clarification materials, but I did not feel tired at all when I came back home to cook. During this time I was also confronted with some karmic tribulations but I got through them very soon.

One day in August 2005, I suddenly felt very bad physically. I felt very weak and it was hard to move myself. Some red spots grew on my skin, which made me itch very much, especially on my head. To feel better I had to submerge my head in cold water. After two days like this, without any sleep, I felt I could no longer stand it and became unable to read. Then I listened to Teacher's Fa lecture tape. In the meantime, I looked into myself. My previous karmic tribulations had never caused such a big problem as they did this time. I realized that it was the old forces, the filthy ghosts and the evil specter of the malevolent communist party that were persecuting me. Then I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate them.

Knowing what was happening to me, many fellow practitioners around me came to my home to help me send forth righteous thoughts. We did so every half an hour. After that we continued to study Fa and exchange our experiences in cultivation. It suddenly became clear in my mind that, as a student of Teacher, I am a life recreated by Dafa and I should completely negate all the arrangements of the old forces by walking only on the way of cultivation that Teacher arranged. Then my thoughts became even firmer.

I felt like melting into Teacher's mighty compassion and my physical condition became much better. After several days I recovered completely. For the second time I profoundly experienced the miraculous and mighty power of Dafa and, at the same time, I came to understand that Dafa practitioners are an indestructible whole body. Because of my firm belief in Dafa and Teacher I finally broke through from the tribulation of illness.

Fellow practitioners, here I have something to say. We are Dafa practitioners in the Fa rectification period. It was Teacher who bestowed us with such an honor. He saved us from the filthiest world in all dimensions and tried to bring us to a high level, for which He has paid much. How could we still cling to any attachments that we cannot give up? Together let's cherish the precious predestined relationship and do well the three things that Dafa practitioners should do. We shall never let down the trust of sentient beings. We shall fulfill our mighty vow made in prehistoric times and finally attain our goal of returning to our heavenly home with Teacher through helping Teacher in the Fa rectification.
