(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. My daughter joined me and started to practice Dafa when she was young.
Sending Righteous Thoughts: Overcoming Sickness Karma While attending a group Fa-study in September 2016, I suddenly lost control of my tongue and my mouth. The other practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference. Finally, I felt better.
However, upon returning home, I became very ill and vomited before I got in the door. My daughter was returning home at the same time. Firmly believing in Teacher Li (the founder) and the Fa, she remained calm and quickly called fellow practitioners for help.
Several practitioners came to send forth righteous thoughts, study the Fa, and do the exercises with me. During the next three difficult days, I sometimes had blurred vision, and could not recognize the words. I lost bodily coordination when practicing the exercises, but fellow practitioners continued to be strict with me to ensure that I completed all the movements correctly.
On the third day, I went out with practitioners to clarify the truth about Dafa to people. At first, I could not walk very well, so they helped me ride the bus and saved a seat for me. I was very touched because three of them were over 80 years old.
When we returned home in the afternoon, a practitioner in her 80s wanted to climb up six floors with me to help me get home. I didn't want to trouble her, so I insisted that I would be fine and that I must overcome the obstacles. With that thought, I suddenly felt the dizziness disappear and my head finally became clear again. I knew that my being considerate of the elderly practitioner was the turning point.
Miraculously, I was healthy again and resumed my normal activities – clarifying the truth about Dafa.
Teacher said,
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughts Master has the power to turn back the tide” (“The Master-Disciple Bond, Hong Yin Vol. II, Translation Version A)
Since then I have felt light and comfortable. Whenever I saw anyone suffering from cerebrovascular disease and unable to walk normally, I knew what they were experiencing and felt bad for them. I cannot express my sincere thanks to Teacher Li who helped me return to normal.
Protected by Teacher
I went with an elderly practitioner to clarify the truth about Dafa to people in August 2007. We met four teenage students in the park. They listened to us, and three of them happily withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations.
A while after they left, one of them returned and wanted more information. Shortly after, we heard a loud police siren approaching the park. People were surprised and wondered what happened. With no fear, the fellow practitioner and I casually walked past the police car. After getting far enough away, we looked back and saw that teen talking to a police officer. We suddenly realized that the teenager called the police on us, and then returned to us, pretending to want more information.
We sent forth righteous thoughts, asked for Teacher’s protection, and looked within ourselves to find our attachment. I thought that maybe we had the attachment of zealotry after helping 17 people withdraw from the CCP that day. We knew that it was Teacher who saved these people; we merely made the effort to tell them the facts. I am grateful for Teacher’s compassionate protection!
Tested by Granddaughter’s High Fever
I live with my daughter's family and have taken care of my granddaughter since she was born. When she got to be two years old, we sometimes studied the Fa together.
Although my granddaughter had already begun to study the Fa, I still worried about her when she was sick. I was also concerned about what my son-in-law might think, because he, as a non-practitioner, knew little about cultivation. I discussed this with a fellow practitioner who reminded me that Dafa practitioners play the main roles, while regular people play the supporting roles. As long as Dafa practitioners do the right things, they will gain support from non-practitioners.
My granddaughter once had a fever of over 104 degrees, and I was not sure whether she could handle the ordeal at such a young age. However, my granddaughter said that she did not want to take medicine or get an injection. She also mentioned her young practitioner friend who grew up without needing any medicine or medical injection.
While my granddaughter transformed her karma through suffering, her illness was a difficult test for my daughter and me. As her fever persisted, my son-in-law wanted to give her medicine. My daughter and I tried to comfort him and assured him that our little girl would be fine. Without knowing the deeper meaning of cultivation and repaying karma, he thought that we were waiting for a miracle to happen.
My granddaughter developed a thin film on her eyes at midnight on the third day of her fever. I became concerned, while my daughter remained calm. I knew I needed to maintain righteous thoughts and not worry. I thought that we have Teacher and the Fa, so there is nothing to worry about. I finally went back to sleep.
Around 5:00 a.m., I heard my granddaughter’s cheerful voice, “I am alright! No fever now!” My son-in-law said repeatedly, “This is a miracle!” He has witnessed Dafa’s power many times. Although my son-in-law is not a practitioner, he became very supportive of Falun Dafa.
