(Minghui.org) I am a physician in my seventies. I was fortunate to learn Falun Dafa in 1996 and have experienced many miracles over the last dozen years of cultivation. I would like to write about them to verify Master's compassion and Dafa's power. I hope to benefit people who have a predestined relationship and help save many sentient beings!
Medical Expert: That is truly a wonder!
Even though I am a doctor, before I began cultivating I had all sorts of illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation of the carotid artery, hyperthyroidism, subacute thyroiditis, gastric ulcer, tachycardia, heart block, and Meniere's syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis not only causes unbearable pain but it also deforms the joints. The disease, known as the "second cancer," is extremely difficult to treat. My eyes were bulging due to hyperthyroidism. It not only caused pain but also tearing. Inflammation of the carotid artery is another rare disease. It causes headaches when the inflammation recurs. I had to be hospitalized many times. None of these conditions were curable even after long-term medication. Each of my diseases was treated by experts, as I have numerous classmates in various large hospitals who tried to help me.
Although I was a senior physician with advanced titles, I was helpless in the face of these tough chronic illnesses. The suffering and feeling of hopelessness were beyond words. But I was fortunate; when I obtained Dafa, I quickly regained my health.
My husband, who worked in empirical science, said, “Your symptoms are gone, but that does not necessarily mean your illnesses are gone.” He insisted that I be checked out at the most reputable hospital to see if my lab test results were normal. He accompanied me to see an expert in rheumatoid arthritis. She looked at me and said, “You look pretty good, and you have not been here for a long time. Where have you been following up? And what you have been taking?” I told her, “I have not been taking any medicine for a long time.” She looked at me suspiciously, “Impossible! Those who have lab results like yours have to take medicine for the rest of their lives.” I sincerely told her, “It is true, I have not been taking any medicine.” She replied, “If you have really stopped taking medication, then that is truly a wonder!”
My husband witnessed that the examination results were all normal. This is one of the many wonderful things that happened to me after I began practicing Falun Gong.
Carrying Forbidden Falun Gong Materials Through Three Security Checkpoints
My relative, who lives in another city, started practicing Falun Gong several years ago. One of their informational materials production centers was destroyed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The practitioners in that area were no longer able to get Dafa materials, so I told her that she could get some from us. With the help of fellow practitioners, I had set up a materials production center myself. A fellow practitioner and I prepared a large bag of various materials for her. After my relative came, she said, “Railroad stations and long distance bus stations all check luggage. What happens if they find the materials?” I told her. “They won't. Send forth righteous thoughts.” She asked, “How do you send forth righteous thoughts?” I realized that she was a new practitioner who had just begun practicing. I told her that I would carry the luggage for her. I began sending forth righteous thoughts as soon as we left my home, all the way to the station, and I asked Master to reinforce us.
When we arrived at the railroad station, only those who had tickets were allowed in. I carried the bag of materials on my back and no one stopped me. After we got in, they began to check luggage. I was in front of my relative, and one person was ahead of me. His newly purchased shoes had to be put on the conveyor belt to be checked. When they let him pass, I picked up my bag, confidently and with no fear, and followed him in. My relative, who was carrying a small bag, was asked to put her bag on the belt. After the security check we went to the waiting hall. We saw that people were lined up again. When we asked why, they told us that they were checking IDs. Neither of us had an ID, but I had no fear, and continued quietly sending forth righteous thoughts. We walked out of the line toward the back, where those who had already had their IDs checked could walk up. A senior official looked at us and said, “For seniors like you, forget it, go ahead and go through.” We thus smoothly passed the security checkpoints carrying the truth-clarifying materials.
I didn't think much about it after it was over, but my relative thought it was miraculous. Carrying such a huge bag and yet passing through three security checkpoints so easily--she thought it was unbelievable! She shared her experience and thoughts with a fellow practitioner where I worked, and later the fellow practitioner mentioned it to me. She asked, “Did you send forth righteous thoughts so the evil would not see you?” I told her I was “Cleansing everything that was not righteous in the field, completely eliminating all evil beings and factors that attempted to interfere or prevent us from delivering the materials. Fa zheng qian kun, xie e quan mie (Translator's notes: the general meaning is “the Fa (Fa) rectifies (zheng) the Cosmos (qian kun); the Evil (xie e) is completely (quan) eliminated (mie).”)!” And I asked Master to reinforce us.
Through this event, I understood more of Master's Fa,
“What's important for cultivators is righteous thoughts. When you have strong righteous thoughts, you are able to withstand anything and do anything. That's because you are a cultivator: someone who is on a divine path and who is not controlled by the factors of ordinary people or low-level principles.” ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles")
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughts
Master has the power to turn back the tide”
(“The Master-Disciple Bond” from Hong Yin Vol. II )
Against persecution
When I was distributing posters about Falun Gong two years ago, I was reported by someone and taken to a police station. A policeman in his thirties asked me, “What's your name? Where do you live? How old are you? Where did you get the posters?” I abided by Master's teaching,
“No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil’s demands, orders, or what it instigates.” (“Dafa Disciples’ Righteous Thoughts are Powerful” from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I didn't reply to him, although he asked several times. He became furious, “OK, I'm talking to you nicely, but you won't cooperate. Do you want to be beaten?” I was not afraid and did not pay any attention to him. He ordered a young police officer in his twenties, “Put her into a cage.” So they locked me up in a small cage in an interrogation room. He asked me again, but I still refused to answer. He said, “You need to respect people. When you are asked, you need to answer.” I said, “If you want others to respect you, you first of all need to abide by the constitution, especially rules 35 and 36 of our constitution, 'freedom of belief' and 'freedom of speech.'"
He put his hands on his waist and rudely replied, “I do not follow the constitution to do things. What can you do about it?” “I thought you were not able to talk, it looks like you can talk. Tell me what your name is, where you live. Quick!” He ordered the young officer, “Cuff her!” The young officer went to get the handcuffs. He came into the cage, twisted my right arm behind my back and used his other hand to attempt to force my head against the rail of the cage No matter how much force he applied, he could not force my head down. My neck was straight as if there was a metal rod inside. I knew compassionate Master was protecting me.
They later used a micro camera to videotape me, and they found out my work and home address. The head of the 610 Office at work told my husband that my attitude in the police station was not good and asked him to come to talk to me. When he arrived, they refused to let him talk to me and forced him to lead them to raid our home. After they returned, that officer told me, “What a victory, we're loaded!” I replied with my heart, “You have committed a great sin and generated much karma!” He kept on, “It is like a publishing plant. You have a computer, printer, paper cutter, stapler, hard disc, all sorts of materials, books, DVDs, and cash bills with truth clarification messages written on them. You have so much stuff, enough to send you to a labor camp for several years.” I immediately replied in my heart, “Whatever you say does not count, only Master's words count!”
He went out for a while and came back with a list of items they took from my home. He asked me to sign my name. I didn't sign or say anything. He kept on, “Sign! Sign!” He got angry, “If you were ten years younger, I would have already knocked you out cold on the floor.” His voice got higher and higher. He got so furious, he kicked hard at my knee. In most cases if someone kicks your knee, it will bend. But my body did not even sway. I felt my knee was protected by thick layers of cotton. I felt no pain, and I knew that Master was again protecting me.
A fellow practitioner later commented, “A policeman in his thirties pushed you, who are in your seventies, and he could not do it. Then he kicked you hard at your knee and you didn't fall or feel pain. Aren't these miracles?!”
Bruised Foot Recovers Overnight
After we moved to a new home two years ago, my husband purchased a new computer desk with three parts. When we moved its four-drawer cabinet, I was not ready when he pushed, and it fell on my foot. A raised lump immediately appeared, 8x6 cm square and about 1.5 cm tall. It didn't hurt, it was just numb. My husband was worried and said, “Let's go to the hospital.” I said, “I'm alright.” He replied, “It was very heavy, plus the sharp corner hit your foot--it might have broken it.” I said, “No, nothing like that will happen to a Dafa cultivator.” He looked at me in disbelief. The next morning, the lump was gone, and the black and blue bruise was only a little pink and purple spot, with little pain. I immediately asked my husband to take a look. He had to admire Dafa's power. It cannot be explained by modern medicine or modern science.
I was once bitten by a wild dog in a suburb. My pants were torn and there were several deep holes in my flesh from the dog's teeth. I washed the wound with clean water, did not seek medical attention, and did not get a rabies vaccine. I got well very fast. This was another miracle.
While I was riding a bike three years ago, an electric bike carrying a very wide object on its back carrier suddenly hit me. Because he was so going fast and his load was heavy, I was knocked down and slid forward on my hands and knees. The young man in his twenties who was riding the electric bike stopped and asked me if I was hurt. I replied immediately even before I got up, “I am fine, I practice Falun Gong, cultivators of Falun Gong are all good people, you do not have to worry.” He wanted to help me up, but I said, “I am fine. Would you please pick up my bike?” (The bike had been knocked away some distance.) He picked up the bike and straightened it. I got up, and he said, “I am so sorry that I was in a hurry and hit you. If you are all right, then I will go.” I told him, “You need to remember Falun Dafa is good.” He said, “Yes, I will remember.” He signaled his friend who was waiting 20 meters ahead of him to go. His friend was a teenager about 17 to 18 years old, and I did not want to leave him out. I yelled, “You also need to remember Falun Dafa is good!” They shouted back that they knew and would remember. After they left I realized that I was on a busy street. His friend had been standing in front of a traffic police station. There were many policemen sitting in front of the station. When I told them to remember Falun Dafa is good, they did not have a negative reaction.
I have been under the enormous Buddhas grace during the last 16 years. From my experiences you can see that Master protects us at every moment. Dafa reveals its wonder and miracles everywhere!
