(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Gong in August 2009, and have lived through the past five years under Master's protection and the help of fellow practitioners. Reading about other practitioners' cultivation experiences has helped me tremendously. Therefore, I will share my experiences of how I got rid of my sickness tribulation. If anything is not in line with the Fa, please do point it out.
I was not feeling well around mid-May of 2009, and so went to the hospital for a check up. I found out that I had cervical cancer. I was shocked and in despair.
While Having Medical Treatment, I Obtained the Fa
In June 2009, I went to Beijing to have surgery. The surgery lasted 12 hours, but was not successful. The doctor found that I had intestinal adhesion, and my intestines were stuck together. Previously in 2000, I had surgery to remove a tumor in my uterus. This earlier surgery may have caused the intestinal problem. My doctor decided to remove and attempt to repair a segment of my intestines and then put it back in six months time.
About two weeks after the surgery, my second eldest sister, who is a Falun Gong practitioner, came to visit me in the hospital. She told me to recite: “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I kept reciting it as often as I could. I stayed in the hospital for a total of 34 days and had one chemotherapy treatment before I checked out.
The day after I returned home, my wound had not healed properly and liquid flowed out from it. Each day I needed to have the medicine on the wound changed at the hospital. On the tenth day after I left the hospital, my hair fell out completely. One month later, I had my second chemotherapy treatment. I kept crying about my physical appearance. Even my family members sobbed in sympathy for me. I was physically and emotionally in pain.
Several days before I took my third chemotherapy treatment, my aunty, also a Falun Gong practitioner, visited me at my house. She saw me curled up on the couch and noticed that I was extremely thin. She told me: “As long as you practice Falun Gong, your illness will be healed. Will you do it?” I said: “I will!” That afternoon my aunty taught me the exercises.
Four days after I began to learn the Fa, I took the third chemotherapy treatment. After the treatment, I kept studying the Fa every day. From learning the Fa, I came to understand why humans had illness.
Master said:
“It is because there is such a principle in the universe: Ordinary human affairs, according to the Buddha School, all have predestined relationships. Birth, old age, illness, and death exist as such for ordinary people. Due to karma resulting from past wrongdoing, one has illnesses or tribulations; suffering is repaying a karmic debt, and thus nobody can casually change this.”
“In the meantime, you should also suffer a little bit and endure some hardships to reduce your karma. You can then move up a little bit; that is, the characteristic of the universe will not restrict you as much.”
“You must eliminate all ill thoughts among everyday people—only then can you move up.” (Zhuan Falun)
I realize that a true practitioner has no illnesses. I then stopped using the medical treatments. With more Fa study, my mood gradually improved.
My Sickness Tribulation
Just after I stopped using medicine, I faced the tribulation of sickness. My stomach hurt a lot. Usually the pain lasted from early in the evening until past midnight. This went on for two days. I could not sit or lie down and my whole body was sweating. My husband suggested that I go to the hospital, but I told him that I would be fine soon. Master said, “In cultivation practice one needs to eliminate karma, and that is painful. How can one increase gong comfortably?” (Zhuan Falun)
Hence, I passed my first sickness tribulation.
Within half a year, I encountered several similar such tribulations. I did not care about them and I was only thinking: My karma should be endured by myself. After all I was being taken care of by Master. I should not be afraid of anything because I had Master's protection. My life was in Master's hands and all the suffering should be overcome. Hence, whenever I encountered the sickness tribulation, I would recall Master's words: “When it is difficult to endure, try to endure it. When it looks impossible and is said to be impossible, give it a try and see if it is possible.” (Zhuan Falun)
I had surgery to have the segment of my intestines put back in at the end of 2009. The surgery lasted 4 hours, and I checked out of the hospital 15 days later. Then my stomach started to hurt every day. My stomach would hurt for hours after I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. This lasted for half a year. I was also vomiting and had diarrhea. The pain eventually lessened as time passed. I studied the Fa and did the exercises everyday. Unknowingly, my illness had disappeared and I had fully recovered within six months. Previously, I had no feeling on the right side of my face because the nerve endings were numb, but now it had returned to normal.
In May 2011, two years after being diagnosed with cancer, I decided I was healthy enough to return to work. I could have stayed at home and still got paid though sick leave, but I knew a practitioner should not behave like that.
I found blood in my stool in March 2013, but I was not worried at all. I just thought about Master's words:
“Because we are leading you to the righteous way, during In-Triple-World-Fa cultivation practice your body will be purified constantly until it is completely transformed by high-energy matter.” (Zhuan Falun)
The bleeding lasted for four days and then disappeared. I am a true practitioner of Dafa; therefore, I have no illness.
Dafa Granted Me Health and Happiness
I became very happy after I began to practice Dafa. Whenever conflicts occurred in the workplace or in my family, I could look within and behave in accordance with a practitioner's standards. My parents-in-law saw the positive changes in me and started to read Dafa books. My family members all quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
I am very fortunate to have become a Dafa disciple in this special era. My appreciation to Master is beyond words.
Fellow practitioners: as long as we firmly believe in Master and the Fa, all the tribulations can be overcome.
