Looking Within Ourselves to Eliminate Sickness Karma

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, quite a few fellow practitioners around me went through sickness karma. Some had it for a long time, and some even passed away. I would like to share some of my experiences in the hopes that it might be helpful.

One day, my body appeared to have the condition of a stroke. My right leg could not move. When I walked, I had to lean on a wall with my arms to move little by little, which made it quite difficult to do the three things well and go about my daily life. I called a fellow practitioner to tell her about my condition, and her non-practitioner family member overheard and shared that he had the same condition. He planned on going to a hospital to check on it and get some medicine for it. He was concerned that his condition would worsen otherwise.

I began thinking after hanging up the phone, "I am a Dafa practitioner who believes in Teacher and trusts the Fa, unlike an ordinary person. I have got to find what went wrong with my xinxing. I am a veteran practitioner, as I began practicing thirteen years ago. I don't think sickness exists in me because all our energy channels open up and circulate when we first begin the practice." I started reading Zhuan Falun again one chapter after another, and I compared my words and actions with what I understood from the book.

When I got to "Cultivation of speech" in Chapter eight, I found where my problem lay. Usually I didn't do well in this respect. Before becoming a practitioner, when someone at work turned in receipts to me, I would throw them back at the person if the amount was less than expected, adding a few unpleasant words, which created a lot of karma. After becoming a Dafa practitioner, fellow practitioners liked to come to my house to study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts, and share experiences. Sometimes, when coming across something that would excite me, I couldn't control my speech and thus I created more karma.

For many years, I did not get rid of this bad habit of not cultivating my speech, which resulted in this condition of sickness karma. I then understood: whatever happens to a Dafa practitioner is always a good thing.

After finding my problem, my right leg became normal. With burnt incense in my hands and tears in my eyes, I thanked Teacher for saving me. What little I said above might be helpful to those who have a similar problem. Let us cultivate ourselves well and save more people.
