(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Dafa practitioner in my 60s. I am very grateful to Master for giving me a second life and purifying my mind and body.
I had poor health since I was very young. After getting married, my life was happy, but after I gave birth to our child, I developed additional illnesses which I suffered from until I became a Falun Gong practitioner. As a result of the illnesses I became very weak, often feeling dizzy and out of breath. The doctors tried many therapeutics on me and my husband also asked about folk prescriptions everywhere. Yet nothing I tried worked. I then turned to various qigong systems and even tried Buddhism. I didn't recover from the illnesses, but instead they became worse and worse. In the end, I had to stop working in my 40s, and lived on a pension. The illnesses were very painful and sometimes I hurt so bad I thought I would rather be dead.
One of my relatives gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun in 1995. I was deeply attracted to the book and enjoyed reading it very much. In the book, Master said, "In order to cure illness or eliminate tribulations and karma, these people must practice cultivation and return to their original, true selves." (Zhuan Falun) With joy and excitement I realized this was what I had been looking for all my life.
Not long after beginning the practice, I had a fever of 39.6° C (103.3° F), and even had bleeding ulcers. I knew it was a test and that I was in the process of eliminating karma. Master was helping me by purifying my body. In the past, my body always felt tense and tight, as if I were being pulled by ropes. Soon after I began practicing, this feeling completely disappeared. After seeing the miraculous changes in me, many of my family members began to practice.
Here I would like to share my experience of two accidents. One day in 2004, when I was on my way somewhere, a tricycle with two people was suddenly in front of me. It headed directly at me, knocking me down with so much force that the handlebars of my bike were bent. The other people involved in the accident helped me stand up and asked if I needed to go to the hospital. I said I was all right. Watching them bending the handlebars of my bike back, I told them, "I'm okay, you can go now." Two street-cleaning ladies who saw the accident and heard what I said to the people, said I was a good person because I didn't ask them for money. Several days later, I found that there were some problems with my bike, including a broken frame and axle. The repairs cost about 50 yuan, but I didn't have that much money with me. The repair shop owner said I could leave and pay him later, so I went home and returned to the shop with the money. I also told the shop owner that I was a Dafa practitioner. He said he had heard about the accident earlier and said I was a good person. I then clarified the truth about the so-called Tiananmen Square self-immolation to him.
Another accident happened recently. I was riding a bike and turning right, when two young men on a motorcycle rode towards me at high speed. Remembering that I am a Dafa practitioner, I knew everything would be fine. Suddenly I was knocked down along with my bike and my bag was thrown some distance. When the young men helped me up I told them, "I am fine. You can go." There were two elderly people by the side of the road who said, "You are a very nice person." I told them, "I am a Dafa practitioner and Master is protecting me." They said, "An elderly lady like you can go through such an accident without being injured. This is really amazing!" I told them that Dafa practitioners are good people and asked that they remember, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," and "Falun Dafa is good." They said that one of their neighbors had to hire two housemaids after being hit in an accident and she still could not get out of bed. In this way, I validated the Fa.
