(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996 and am 62 years old. Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Dafa, I faced torture and mistreatment over and over again. After being tortured one night, my arm was disabled and my legs were paralyzed. With Master’s help, I was able to recover a little. I was able to stand up but not walk on my own and could move my arm a little. I remained like this for several years. Now I have completely recovered. I’d like to share some miracles I encountered when I was paralyzed.
Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts to Make the Police Sleep
Two days before the 2002 New Year, I was illegally arrested and taken to the Domestic Security Division of the area's police bureau. Upon arrival there I noticed that five practitioners had already been detained. I told them, “I can't walk, so I cannot escape. I will send forth righteous thoughts so you may find an opportunity to get away.” Then I sent the righteous thought: “Make all the police who are monitoring Dafa practitioners sleep.” With that thought, three or four of the police officers couldn’t keep their eyes open. They went to sleep and only one female officer was watching us. After a while, that female shouted, “Someone, come quickly! My head is about to split open. I am too tired. Someone else has to take their turn.” Another police officer came and she left. Then, that policeman fell asleep on the couch.
It was an opportunity for the other practitioners to escape. However, they were full of fear and didn't hold enough righteous thoughts, so they didn't escape. A practitioner came to me and asked, “Can I?” No matter what I said, she didn’t dare to leave. The next day, we were all taken to a detention center and then some were transferred to a forced labor camp. Only I was released and taken home.
Tight Handcuffs Fell Off
In the summer of 2003, I was again arrested and taken to a detention center. Because I insisted on practicing the Falun Gong exercises, the police put handcuffs and shackles on me. The shackles were over 50 pounds and bound my ankles tightly. There were also metal pins inside that stuck into my flesh with the slightest movement. The handcuffs were new and the smallest size possible. The handcuffs were so tightly closed that I couldn’t move at all.
I was already in bad shape physically. I couldn’t even walk or lift my arms, so I tried to move as little as possible and couldn't sleep. Several people tried to take the handcuffs off me. They put soapy water on my arm and pulled on the cuffs. With much effort, one came off. The next morning, I realized that my arm and hand were swelling, as the handcuff had cut into my flesh. I just said, without having thought about the dilemma, “This is not good. This cuff needs to come off.” I touched the handcuff lightly with my other hand, and it just fell off. Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
When an inmate came to remove the handcuffs and shackles, he was shocked to see that the handcuffs had already fallen off. He muttered, “You could take that off? Amazing!” With strengthening by fellow practitioners and help from Master, I was released soon after.
My Tricycle Floated in the Air
By the winter of 2003, my arm had recovered a little and I could move my legs a little. Although I still wasn’t able to walk, I could ride a tricycle slowly. One time I traveled more than ten miles away to get some truth-clarifying materials. I was done rather late and it was already dark. After about two miles, the tricycle stopped. I got off and saw that the front tire was flat. It was dark and I was in the middle of nowhere. Where could I get it fixed? I couldn’t even go back because I couldn’t walk.
I suddenly realized that this situation was not right: I was doing the most righteous thing in the universe and nothing was allowed to interfere. I talked to the tricycle, “Old friend, we have been together all these years. You have put in much effort for Falun Dafa. You have accumulated mighty virtue. Don’t be used by the evil. When I reach consummation, you can come to my world. I hope you continue to display your abilities.” Then I got on the tricycle and headed on home. As I rode, the tricycle felt lighter than usual and it wasn't touching the ground. It floated in the air and I reached home quickly. When I looked at my watch, it had only been 20 minutes since I left the practitioner's home. Usually it takes around an hour. If I ignored the time between when I left the practitioner’s home to where the tricycle broke down, I had reached home in barely no time. No wonder it seemed so fast. I was so excited that I kept saying, “Master, Master.” No other words came to mind.
I have experienced many amazing things during these years. For example, when an electric appliance broke down at my home, it started working once I communicated with it. I don't need to have any appliance repaired.
My understanding is that any miracle can happen as long as one truly believes in Master and the Fa. With Master here, we have nothing to fear, we can do anything and accomplish anything, and we sure can follow Master to the end of the Fa-rectification.
