(Minghui.org) I am 74 years old. I obtained Dafa in Beijing in May 1996. I came to Australia in June 2009. I have recorded some of my personal cultivation experiences in China to validate the beauty and miraculous nature of Dafa and Master's boundless grace.
A. Witnessing Master's Boundless Grace
1. My Health Returned after I Obtained Dafa
In May 1996, I ran into a colleague who was in great spirits and a completely different person from what she had been just two weeks before--in bad health and with a pained expression. I was very surprised.
She said, “I am practicing Falun Gong, and all my diseases have disappeared. Falun Gong not only has miraculous healing effects, but also explains why there are so many tribulations in life.” The last sentence caught my interest. That's what I really wanted to know.
I borrowed the book Zhuan Falun that day and started my Dafa cultivation. In less than 10 days, I regained my health. I could walk up two steps at a time, and I felt like I was pushed while riding a bike. These are extraordinarily wonderful feelings.
2. Master's Protection
Every morning I went to do the exercises at an exercise site about a kilometer from my home. One winter day that year, the temperature was below 14o F, and, my hands hurt while doing the wheel-holding positions in the second exercise. I couldn't even ride my bike home and had to push it.
Finally I couldn’t bear the pain anymore. When I was little and hurt myself, I would call for my mother. I suddenly thought of Master. At that moment, I didn't have any intention of asking Master to stop my pain, I just felt that Master was my closest relative, and I quietly called out, “Master, Master ...” Before I even finished saying "Master" for the second time, the pain disappeared! How miraculous it was! I again experienced that Master protects His disciples all the time.
3. Splinters in My Hands Disappeared
At the beginning of 1997, I was moving furniture at home. I crouched down to pull out a bookcase. As I pulled, I felt sharp pain in my hands and saw that they were bleeding. When I looked closely, I saw they were full of splinters.
I found some tweezers to pull them out, but first I washed the blood away under tap water. When I looked at my hands again, the splinters were gone, and there were not even any marks! My hands were as smooth as before!
4. Protected in an Accident
In 1998, I was riding a bike home with a few other practitioners and was hit by another bike at an intersection. I was thrown off my bike and landed on the front end of an oncoming truck. I landed in front of the truck's wheels.
I hurt and felt unable to move. But I thought, "I can't stay here. I want to go to the exercise site tomorrow." I tried to get up even though it hurt. The other practitioners were all worried and rushed over. They asked, “Are you OK?” I said, “I'm fine.” I only had a few flesh wounds. Master protected me and saved my life.
I found my bike, went home, and did the sitting meditation exercise for a while. Then I laid down. While half asleep, it seemed that a large, warm hand held me in the air and rubbed my back three times. A warm current flowed through my body.
The next morning I went to the exercise site as usual. The other practitioners didn't notice anything wrong with me. About two weeks later, some practitioners learned about the accident and came to see me. By that time, I was almost recovered. Master not only saved my life, but also healed my injuries. There are no words to describe Master's boundless grace.
5. No One Could Take a Photo of Me
I was arrested by Beijing police in July 2003. In the detention center, guards tried to take a picture of me, but they couldn't seem to manage it. I didn't want them to have my photo, so I sent forth righteous thoughts when they tried to take the picture.
In Haidian Detention Center, I was taken to a room along with others. I learned that everyone had to give their fingerprints. A guard came over and said, “Please do me this favor so I can keep my job.” I thought, "I won't do this for nothing" and said, “If you say one sentence in support of Dafa, I will.” I thought it would be good enough if he would say, “Falun Dafa is good.” Surprisingly, he thought for a little while and then said loudly, “Long live Li Hongzhi!” I didn't expect that I would meet someone there who had a predestined relationship with Dafa.
6. The Sun Is a Cool and Refreshing World
On November 3, 1996, I attended the Falun Dafa Beijing International Sharing Conference. In the afternoon many practitioners shared their experiences. Around 2:00 p.m. I saw many practitioners looking at the sun. I looked up and saw the sun was round and light blue with a bright edge. The beams of sunlight were purple flames. At 4:00 p.m., we looked at the sun again, and the beams were dark blue. I saw that, in another dimension, the sun is a cool world.
7. Miraculous Change in Blood Pressure
When I was younger, my blood pressure was 110/70. At 50, my blood pressure was 150/85. When I was arrested, sentenced, and imprisoned between July 2003 and July 2007, my blood pressure then was between 190/100 and 220/110.
I returned home in 2007 and studied the Fa and did the exercises every day. My health recovered very quickly. I had a physical three months later, and all my results were normal. My blood pressure was 110/70. I have practiced Dafa for 17 years, and I never taken a single pill and am in good health.
B. “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” Benefited Prisoners
Between July 2003 and March 2004, I was detained in several detention centers, where I personally witnessed the enormous power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I saw amazing changes in people in a very short period of time after they recited, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Below are a few examples.
1. Drug Addicts
In a Haidian detention center in 2003, I saw a woman lying on the floor on her stomach. Her face was very pale. I could not bear to see others in pain, so I went over to talk to her. She was in great discomfort and could not talk. I told her, “Try to quietly recite, 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance’ in your heart.” She nodded. Half-an-hour later, I saw that she had gotten up and had a healthy complexion.
In over half-a-day, I saw three such women get better after reciting, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Later I learned that they were drug addicts who were in withdrawal and in great pain. One of the girls came over to me and said, “I'll find you when I get out of here. I want to learn Falun Gong!”
2. A Girl Who Swallowed a Ring
At another detention center in the Haidian District, there was a young girl from Xinjiang Province. Every day she sat in a corner with her arms crossed and looked like she was in pain. One day I sat next to her and asked her why she was not eating. She told me that her intestines and stomach hurt, and she couldn't eat. She wanted to kill herself by swallowing a large gold ring when she was arrested. But she didn't die and now had to bear the pain.
I told her, “If you believe me, you can try reciting, 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance' in your heart.” She said she was a Muslim. I said, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is higher than that. There will be no impact on your belief.” Three days later, I noticed she was eating regularly. She was happy and often did Xinjiang ethnic dances to entertain us. She believed in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and benefited from doing so.
3. A Prisoner with Heart Disease
At a detention center in Beijing in 2003, there was a middle-aged woman who couldn't work and had to be careful just getting from one place to another. At break time, I tried to talk to her. She was quite moved when she saw someone cared about her. She told me she had severe heart disease and couldn't work. She said the guards bullied her and denied access to a doctor. She also said she had been arrested for selling discs but hadn't sold a single one before being arrested. She was heartbroken. Tears streamed down her face. She had no money and couldn't afford to buy tissues.
I told her, “No matter what others say about you, you be a decent person and don't pay too much attention to your heart.” She nodded. “If you trust me," I continued, "try to sincerely recite, 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance' in your heart.” She nodded again. The next day, she fixed her hair nicely. The third day, she cleaned the floor with the young ones. During break on the fifth day, she walked up to me and told me quietly, “I am recovered! My heart disease is cured. I am good now!” Another life was saved.
4. An Asthma Patient
A middle-aged woman who slept next to me started to cough. At night it got worse. I told her that reciting “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” could help. She didn't believe me. A few days later, her symptoms got worse, which affected others' sleep. I said to her, “Your cough is really bad.” She said, “This is not the worst; every year from October to April, I can only sleep sitting up.” It was October.
I thought that she and I might have a predestined relationship since she slept next to me. I thought I would give it another try. One day I said to her, “You are really determined. You would rather cough all night than recite, 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' How much does that cost you? Don't you know you are keeping others from sleeping?” She didn't say anything.
A few days later, I noticed she coughed less, and a few days after that, she stopped altogether.
5. A Deaf-Mute Hears
One day a 15 or 16-year-old girl was brought into the cell. She was cute, but unfortunately she was a deaf-mute. At break time, I wrote “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” on her palm and asked her to memorize it. She nodded. I felt this girl was kindhearted, but she had been forced to be a thief.
One day at nap time, she slept near me. I thought of how wonderful it would be if such a kindhearted kid could obtain Dafa. Then I remembered she was mute. I said to Master in my heart, “I don't know if my thought is correct or not. If it is correct, Master, please help open her hearing channel. She could obtain Dafa in the future.” Then I kept sending forth righteous thoughts for her for about half-an-hour.
During the break after nap time, I tested her hearing ability by calling her from behind, and she heard me. I thanked our great and merciful Master for her. I deeply believe Master will arrange for her to practice cultivation.
Dafa has been responsible for countless miracles. Whoever believes “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” will be rewarded with good fortune and a great future. I hope people who have a predestined relationship with Dafa will come to Dafa, learn Dafa, and choose a great future for themselves!
