(Clearwisdom.net) Before becoming a practitioner, I frequently coughed up blood because I had a cancerous tumor the size of a dime in my lungs. I also had a heart problem and pancreatic cancer, causing me to spend more than six months in the hospital each year.
Not long after becoming practitioner, during a group Fa study, suddenly, I vomited a large amount of blood and became worried. I thought, “Teacher, please help me stop it, because I want to study the Fa!” After a few minutes, the tribulation stopped, and I was able to rejoin the group Fa study session. Within a few minutes, my face turned from pale to rosy. After studying the Fa with fellow practitioners for two hours, I felt good and went home. I had never before had this type of sudden physical problem and miraculous recovery. Before becoming a Dafa practitioner, when I started throwing up blood, I would take a lot of medicine, but it would still take me a week to recover.
In 2006, because of fear, my attachments and human notions gradually grew, and I did not cultivate diligently. One day, suddenly I had a severe headache and diarrhea, with a lot of pus coming out, and then I vomited a lot of blood again. I was hardly able to breathe, and I was thinking about death. I suffered with this tribulation very much for more than two weeks, although I insisted on not going to hospital. Finally, I enlightened: “I won't worry about anything. Whether I live or not, it's all up to our Master!” With this thought in mind, I became completely well within a couple of hours. This tribulation that I went through enabled me to deeply understand the importance of negating human notions. If one's thought is human, then what manifests in him or her is: birth, age, sickness, and death. If one eliminates human notions, then what manifests before him is divine. Divine or human thoughts determines heavenly or earthly results.
Another time, I had a headache that was extreme. I felt as if a needle was stabbing my head, hurting me so tremendously that I could not even open my eyes. As I was enduring the pain, I said to the area where the pain was, “I know that you're experiencing pain too. Suppose our human body is a small universe and you're a life within this system...if I could cultivate well enough to complete cultivation, I would always be able to take care of you. I hope you will work with me so that we can return to our heavenly realm.” Two minutes after saying that, my headache was gone. I felt it was really magical!
A couple of years ago, I always felt tired, feeling depleted of energy for periods of time. A friend asked me to teach her the Falun Gong exercises. She lived rather far away. A round trip took three to four hours. Still, I took an early bus ride one morning and spent the day teaching her. Even though my return ride was bumpy and late at night, my body felt light, and I was not fatigued. I had a new level of understanding.
In the “Broad and Immense” (Falun Dafa Essentials For Further Advancement), Teacher said:
“The principles of Falun Dafa can provide guidance for anyone’s cultivation practice, including for one’s religious beliefs. This is the principle of the universe, the true Fa that has never been taught. People in the past were not allowed to know this universe’s principle (the Buddha Fa). It transcends all academic theories and moral principles of human society from ancient times to this day. What was taught by religions and what people experienced in the past were only superficialities and shallow phenomena. Its broad and immense, profound inner meaning can only manifest itself to, and be experienced and understood by, practitioners who are at different levels of true cultivation. Only then can one truly see what the Fa is.”
I have come to understand that cultivation is the process of continuously honoring and affirming the Fa, as well as enlightening to the profound meaning of the Fa.
