(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa has given me wisdom and the will to save sentient beings, especially those who want to learn about Dafa even when they are suffering from serious illnesses. Master said, “The only thing you have a role in is saving people.” (“Teaching the Fa in the City of Chicago”) I always keep these words in mind. I put away all distracting thoughts when clarifying the truth to people and just calmly explain the facts with compassion. As long as they have the wish to learn about Dafa, I try my best to help them. I firmly believe that if they have a true desire to study and practice Dafa and have predestination with Dafa, miracles can happen. While saving sentient beings, I have never pushed people or focused on getting good results. As I steadily accomplished what I was supposed to do without being attached to results, miracles did occur.
One farmer I knew was once poisoned by pesticides, which caused his whole body to become swollen. His skin became extremely itchy, dark, and hard. Pus and blood discharged from his skin and ears. Because he had severe asthma at the time, doctors suspected lung cancer when a shadow appeared on his x-ray. After a group consultation among several department directors of the hospital, it was concluded that they had never seen such a case. The doctors then took some pictures of him for research and gave him treatment in the hospital for more than ten days. However, his condition worsened. Eventually, his family was told that an operation would be too risky and that they should take him home and let him eat whatever he wanted, since he probably did not have much time left.
After they took him home, his daughter ran to my house and asked me whether a person in his father’s condition could practice Falun Gong. I had clarified the truth to her and helped her quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She was also aware of the fact that my good health came from practicing Falun Gong, so she had a glimmer of hope that Falun Gong could save her father. I told her, “He surely can practice. Anyone can learn to practice, but he himself must want to learn it.”
I subsequently went to her house and saw her father lying on the bed, gasping. The disease made his face was so swollen that he was barely recognizable. Crying beside his bed, several relatives came from his hometown to say their final goodbyes. I waited until they all left and told him about his daughter’s wish, as well as the huge physical and mental changes I experienced after practicing Falun Gong. I then asked him if he wanted to learn how to practice. He said, “I sure do. But would it work for someone as sick as me?” I said, “As long as you truly want to learn, my Master will take care of you. I’ll try my best to help you learn, but you have to truly believe in it.” He replied, “I do. I’ll learn from you if you don’t refuse me.” I answered, “Great!”
He could hardly open his eyes due to the facial swelling, so I asked his daughter to spend some time reading Zhuan Falun to him. Every day after work, I went to their house to study the Fa with them from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. I asked my husband to come with me, so that it would be easier to lift him up. My husband has read Zhuan Falun and learned the exercises, yet he has not become a true practitioner. But he fully supported me. He told his relatives and friends about how my health improved enormously after practicing Falun Gong, and one of his friends became a practitioner due to his encouragement.
During our Fa-study sessions, we shared experiences with him and told him some cultivation stories of other practitioners in order to boost his confidence. Although his condition did not change much during the first several days, my heart was not moved a bit. I believe in the miraculous power of Master and Dafa and that one should give up attachments to gain naturally without pursuit.
Three days later, his skin started to peel and ooze liquid. In one of the worst cases, it left a large wet spot on the mattress. The swelling was then reduced, and he was able to open his eyes. Seeing the severe symptoms, his daughter began to worry. I told her it was actually a good thing and that master was cleansing his body for him, so it was not dangerous at all.
After one week, we were able to help him to sit up and learn the four standing exercises. He breathed heavily every time he sat up. But whenever he started doing the exercises, the asthma went away until he finished. Twenty days later, he was finally capable of studying the Fa and doing the exercises by himself. The swelling in his upper body gradually went down. I bought him an MP3 player so he could listen to the Dafa lecture recordings.
His condition changed enormously. He said to me, “I was doing the exercises one day on my bed, when all of a sudden, I saw Master come down from His image on the table, looking at me with a smile on His face. Then He circled me twice and went back to His image.”
I said, “You are very lucky! Master was encouraging you, because you practiced well.” He said with excitement, “Thank you Master, thank you Master! The other day my daughter asked me to take medicine when I had a bad cough. I told her that Master was taking care of me and that I would not do anything to interfere with Master.” As he continuously studied the Fa, his enlightenment and physical condition both improved.
Within three months, the swelling had disappeared from his entire body. His dead skin peeled off and was replaced by normal, healthy skin. Now an entirely healthy person, he began cultivation. After witnessing the miracle, his family members now believe that Falun Dafa is good, and one of his children has even started practicing. Everyone who heard this story was amazed.
During this time, especially when he went through an intense period of eliminating karma, I did not have any concern or doubt in Dafa. I just believed in Master and Dafa and persisted in doing what I was supposed to do.
I received a call a while ago from a friend who I haven’t seen in almost 40 years. He told me he was in very bad health. He had a stroke, herniated spinal disc, partial paralysis, and heart problems. I offered to visit him sometime, and he replied, “Great!” I recognized that this was a life I needed to save, so I went to his home with a Shen Yun DVD and a truth-clarification booklet.
After his child opened the door, I saw him sitting on the sofa, bent at the waist, next to a set of crutches. He wore a face of suffering. To take care of his father and his own infant, my friend’s child had to work overnight, and his wife could not work. With a pained expression, he said, “These few years I have been tormented by illness. I didn’t want to drag my child down, so I attempted suicide three or four times. Because my back and arms hurt so much, I can’t lie down and can only sleep for two or three hours a night while sitting. Sometimes when I had to use the bathroom late at night, I couldn’t stand up or walk. Because I didn’t want to wake up my daughter-in-law, I could only roll out of bed and crawl to the bathroom…my life is worse than death… Three years ago, my wife got cancer and we were in different hospitals. My poor child had to go back and forth helping his mother and myself, but his mother passed away three years ago. Thank you so much for coming to see me. You haven’t changed at all and are still so young and energetic!”
I said, “I had a lot of illnesses before, too. After learning Falun Gong, I discovered how it feels to be healthy.” He said, “These few years, many people wanted me to practice their qigong. Some said that after practicing their qigong, I could have whatever I wanted, and what I needed would fall from the sky. I didn’t believe that garbage at all and sent them away. But I believe you. Can I learn Falun Gong?” I replied, “Yes, as long as you want to learn, I will teach you.”
At that moment, his arm suddenly became painful. I said, “Master is already taking care of you, because you want to learn. Master looks precisely at your heart.” He nodded, and the pain soon disappeared. I suggested that he first watch Master’s lecture videos, and he said, “Sure!”
To be responsible to Dafa and the new practitioner, I went to his home every afternoon and played the lecture video. He watched carefully and worked hard to keep his eyes open when he became sleepy. After every lecture, I chatted with him and relayed to him some cultivation experiences of other practitioners. He said that as soon as the video played, his entire body felt comfortable. He could understand everything Teacher said. Though he often became sleepy, he heard everything. After the video finished and I left, the pain in his waist and arms would start again, especially after watching the third lecture. I said, “This is Teacher cleansing your body. It’s all normal and a good thing. Your body is in such bad shape, so how can you get rid of all your illnesses without feeling anything?” He said, “I heard what Teacher said. It is really accurate – for just these few days my pain has been especially severe, but I can endure it. I’m happy that someone is taking care of me. I can listen to Teacher and persevere in listening to the lectures and learning the exercises.”
I taught him the movements with some difficulty, as he could only sit on the sofa to learn. I encouraged him and told him to extend his arms as much as he could, and that teacher looks mainly at his heart.
After watching the fifth lecture, he said that he lied down and slept for seven hours. He hadn’t slept this well for two or three years. Before the seventh lecture, it was himself, leaning on crutches, who opened the door. He said that he could now use chopsticks to eat and that his arms no longer hurt. That day, I pointed him to an article on the Minghui website, “Believing in Master and the Fa One Hundred Percent.” After reading the article, he said that he fully believed in Master and the Fa and proceeded to throw away his medicine.
To learn the exercise after finishing the ninth lecture, he stood up without his crutches and exclaimed, “I’m fine now. It no longer hurts anywhere. It’s a miracle! It’s a miracle!”
I was also excited to see him fully recover in only nine days. He said, “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master, for giving me a new life, for letting me become a normal person. Thank you, my friend, as well, for giving me such a good practice. If you hadn’t come to see me, how could I fulfill this predestined connection?”
I said, “You don’t need to thank me. This is what I’m supposed to do. We should all use concrete actions to thank Master for bestowing His grace upon us. The path of cultivation is long, and you’ve just begun. Study the Fa well and often. Do what the Fa tells you to do, and cultivate solidly. This is what Master wants to see the most.” He agreed. Afterwards, I contacted other fellow practitioners and established a Fa-study group near his home so that everyone close by could study and cultivate with him.
This event deeply shook me and again showed me Master’s benevolence and Dafa’s miraculous power. I deeply enlightened that true belief can invoke miracles.
In fact, the experiences of saving sentient beings also help us to improve our enlightenment quality and xinxing. As long as we believe in Dafa, the power of Dafa will be there for us, and we can then save more sentient beings, fulfill our prehistoric vows, and complete our mission. Of course, I still have not done enough and will strive to be a true Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple.
