(Clearwisdom.net) I am summarizing some of my own experiences and those I have witnessed of others. They illustrate Master's compassion and protection, and the divine power of Falun Dafa.
1. Face Paralyzed by a Stroke; Symptoms Disappear in Three Days After Letting Go of Attachments
I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1995. Two months after I began cultivation practice, the symptoms of a stroke that I had in my teens surfaced, my face was partially paralyzed. I kept steadfast faith in Dafa, and understood that Master was eliminating my illnesses from the root. However, I kept looking into the mirror to check my face. The symptoms lasted over ten days, and they were getting worse, as I could not hold any liquids in my mouth.
My husband urged me to go to the hospital. I said: “I am fine, many cancer patients got well after practicing Falun Gong. My case is nothing, you don't have to worry.” I went to work as usual.
One day, after work, I talked about my situation with a colleague, who was also a practitioner. I told her that even though my symptoms had not improved after ten days, I still firmly believed in Dafa and that I didn't need to go to the hospital. She said: “It is your attachment that you could not let go. Your symptoms would have been long gone if you had let go of your attachment!”
I realized that she was right. My symptoms continued because I had not let go of my attachment. At that moment, I truly let go of my thoughts on this matter, and stopped checking myself in the mirror. While I was doing the Falun Dafa exercises that night, a miracle happened. I felt my mouth and eyes twitching, especially the pressure points on my face. I understood, that I not only had to firmly believe in Dafa, but I also needed to let go of my attachments, then I would not need to worry or do anything, Master would take care of everything else.
Three days after that, my stroke symptoms were gone, everything returned to normal.
2. Rapid and Remarkable Recovery from Compound Fracture
One morning in February, 2002, I slipped and fell on the icy balcony at home. I sat on the floor, my right leg stuck out, my left knee was touching the floor, I saw bone, the length of my finger, trying to push out from under my left knee. I was not afraid, nothing bad should happen. I called my husband over, he and my brother helped me sit on the bed. I took off my pants, the bone looked like it was on the verge of breaking through the skin, the bones between my left knee and ankle were all displaced, my husband's and brother's faces turned white at the sight of this. I told them it was nothing to worry about; that Falun Dafa would look after me.
Looking at my damaged knee, I thought that a human body is a small universe, therefore the bones in my knee and leg are part of this small universe, what just happened to them was not right. Since Dafa practitioners' hands have supernatural power, I pushed the displaced bones back into place, I was able to lay my leg on the bed.
Soon after that, my leg started to turn red and swell. Two fellow practitioners came over to help me with sending forth righteous thoughts. Looking at my leg, I thought about having Master and Dafa with me, I was sure I would be able to walk and do Dafa exercises. How could we not able to walk during Fa rectification? It was interference from the old forces, they wanted to harm my body. I would not allow this to happen.
My brother advised me: “You pushed the bones back, but you don't know whether you pushed them into the right places, let's go see an orthopedic doctor, you don't even have to stay in the hospital.” I said: “There is no need!” A fellow practitioner suggested: “We don't go to an ordinary orthopedic doctor, we can go to an orthopedic doctor who is also an practitioner.” I refused again: “We have Master, why do we need to go to a doctor? No!”
My husband had the belief that I could not walk or go to work, he asked my employer for sick leave. My colleagues came to visit me, once they saw my red, swollen leg, they wanted to take me to the hospital right away. My boss was once a physician, he knew it was a comminuted fracture, considering the extent of the swelling, the consequences could be severe. I refused their good intentions, I told them I was fine and would go to work as usual. They left eventually.
At night, more practitioners came to see me, they advised me: “You have non-practitioners at home, let's go to the hospital to avoid them from blaming Dafa, it is also protecting Fa.” I said: “I understand it differently. I don't go to the hospital because I want to defend Fa. Hospitals are for ordinary people. Once I get there, I would have to follow ordinary treatments, such as X-rays and operations. I am a Dafa practitioner, Dafa is divine, I will walk again! This is protecting and validating the Fa.” That night, I was unable to turn to my right side, I told myself I am a Dafa practitioner that I will be able to turn if I want to; sure enough, I was able to turn to my right side as soon I had that righteous thought.
The next day, a fellow practitioner whom I had lost touch with for many years called. Once she heard about my leg, she rushed over at 8 o'clock in the morning. We sent righteous thoughts together until 10am, asking for Master's support. I was then able to walk, even though my leg still was still swollen, and I was able to sit cross-legged. My family and the fellow practitioner all witnessed Dafa's divine power. Next, I went to the kitchen and made six dishes for lunch.
I studied Fa, did the exercises, and sent righteous thoughts as usual. I felt my knee sweating as I did the exercises; sometimes, I felt Falun turning, and my injured leg was wrapped by lotus vines. I decided to go back to work. I was a little worried about riding the shuttle bus. However, once I focused my thoughts, I had no problem getting on the bus. My boss and colleagues all saw me coming to work. They gasped and nodded their heads at me. My boss pulled me aside and told me that me coming to work showed the greatness of Falun Dafa.
Work was very busy, and I had to move my office from first floor to the second floor. By the time I went home, my leg had swelled more. Not only were there purple bruises on my leg, but there were some large patches of bluish bruises too. I did not care much about them. I still studied Fa, did the exercises, and sent righteous thoughts. Even though my leg was swollen, I was able to sit cross-legged and send righteous thoughts. While I was doing the exercises, I felt Falun spinning on my injured leg and my knee cap sweating. I felt the drops of the sweat were the size of thumb nails. I was able to walk, but my leg felt numb and tired; I liked to drag it when I walked.
My fellow practitioner reprimanded me when she saw me walking like that at work: “Don't come to work if you walk like this, don't blemish Dafa's reputation!” I immediately awakened: That's right, I should not forget that I am a Dafa practitioner, I have to walk straight, walking with a limp is not the right imagine of a Dafa practitioner. I was walking normal without pain once I got my mind set right. However, once I got home, I still limped, my husband yelled at me: “Doesn't Dafa has magical power? Then why are you limping?” I set my mind straight again: I am a Dafa practitioner, I can not taint the image of Dafa! Master was watching my xinxing. I asked myself why I walked fine at work but could not do the same at home? Was it because I was a Dafa practitioner at work but not at home? I will walk normally! Once my xinxing elevated, I was able to walk normally at work and home. My relatives kept calling me and urging me to go to the hospital. I told them I already went back to work. Next, the swelling started to go down, my leg improved everyday, the color of the skin was returning to normal, the black and blue discolorations disappeared as well.
About ten days after my injury, as I sat on the bed, all of a sudden I felt a pair of hands shifting the bones in my knee; there were noises too; the bones were shifted twelve times. I cried. I understood that Master had been guarding me earlier. I did not feel much pain. Master was testing me; and, now Master was mending my bones. Next, crackling sounds came from my knee, my whole leg was stretched and relaxed repeatedly for over half of an hour. My family saw it too. Fa was being validated to them right there. Since that day, my leg was adjusted everyday, and the duration increased to the point that it was being adjusted all day except while I walked. I see this as a good opportunity to validate Fa to others, to show them the magical power of Dafa in real life. Since the movements of the bones can be seen and heard through my pants, I showed my colleagues, my fellow practitioners, my families and friends; I let them see the magical power of Dafa.
Even though I was walking normally, I still needed to use my hands to lift my injured leg up onto the bed. After about twenty days, while I was sitting on the sofa talking to a fellow practitioner, all of a sudden, my injured leg was lifted up by a force and slowly lowered, this was repeated twice, we watched in shock. Since then, my leg has been completely normal.
Now, my left leg never gets tired no matter how far I have to walk for the purpose of Fa validation work, sometimes I had to walk over five kilometers to send righteous thoughts. My left leg would feel restless if I don't go out and do Fa validation work. I thank Master for removing my leg that was filled with karma and gave me a healthy leg to walk on the path of Fa rectification.
3. Spinal Injury Completely Cured After Practicing Dafa for Two Months
Xiaohong lives in the country, she was about 30 years old. She was never in good health. This time, she had leg and back pain and lied on bed for seven days. She was diagnosed with a degenerative and deformed spinal cord. She needed surgery right away, but the cost was over twenty thousand yuan and there was no guarantee of recovery.
Xiaohong's sister Xiaoli who lived in our city was contacted. Xiaoli told Xiaohong to listen to Master's lecture on tape and come to her home. As a Dafa practitioner, Xiaoli knew the only way to cure her sister's illness for free was to cultivate in Dafa. Xiaohong came to her sister's home and started to cultivate. At the beginning, she listened to Fa. She was gradually able to sit up; her lower body regained warmth; she was able to sit and study the Fa; then she was able to walk and do the exercises.
