(Minghui.org) I was diagnosed with nasal polyps more than 10 years ago, but they didn’t bother me until recently. I started to have a runny nose in early July, but the symptoms were mild and infrequent. Later, they started to bother me every 10 minutes, and I needed tissues on hand at all times. By the end of July, one nostril was blocked, while the other ran constantly.
I was in a panic and didn’t know what to do, as this was interfering with my life. I couldn’t breathe properly and couldn’t go out to clarify the truth or return to work as a teacher.
I had read cultivation articles by other Falun Dafa practitioners about being interfered with by illness symptoms, but I never thought that the old forces would impose such things on me. So I never sent forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate the interference.
Finding the Root Cause
I knew that I needed to look inward to find the root cause, which was the only way to solve the problem.
I didn’t take it seriously when I was diagnosed with nasal polyps, because they didn’t bother me. I had already started cultivating Falun Dafa and knew I shouldn’t have any illnesses. Under Master Li's protection, I had set up a material production site and provided truth-clarification materials to the practitioners in my area.
The site had been in operation for over 10 years without a problem, but I became a little slack. In my spare time, instead of studying the Fa diligently, I browsed online videos and read novels.
I made excuses for doing this, saying that it was my hobby and it wasn’t a big deal. I had a lot of free time in June and spent most of it reading novels. I spent hours reading mystery and detective books at work and secretly at home.
Having My Shortcoming Pointed Out
After my wife (who is also a practitioner) pointed out my obsession, I got angry. The more she criticized me, the more time I spent reading novels. Although I studied the Fa daily, it wasn’t for that long, and I didn’t always complete all five exercises.
I didn’t have the mentality of a true cultivator, so the nasal polyps recurred. I even searched online for possible treatments, looked for hospitals that could do the procedure, and checked out the costs.
I would have checked into a hospital if there was no pandemic. I even sought out my medical insurance card, which I had not touched for a decade.
Looking back, this was not something a true cultivator would do. I shouldn’t rely on hospitals or medications. But how could I solve this problem? I needed to find a solution in Dafa.
I was grateful that my wife insisted I read Minghui Weekly and cultivation experience sharing articles.
My mindset began to return to the right path. Master mentioned long ago that he pushed his disciples forward before July 20, 1999, and that our bodies should not have any illnesses. The reason why the illness symptoms returned was because of my indulgence in attachments. Beings from other dimensions saw the hopelessness of my cultivation and demanded that I pay off my debts, thereby bringing back my nasal polyps.
I knew that I would be illness-free if I could correct my thoughts and behavior and let go of attachments.
With that thought, I talked to the beings behind the nasal polyps: “I do not know the karmic relationship between us, but I know that I am a Dafa disciple who is here to help Master rectify the Fa. No being should interfere with me or persecute me. If I have attachments, I should get rid of them through cultivation. Please leave my body immediately and let my nose return to normal so that I can breathe properly and help Master rectify the Fa.”
I told those beings that if they do not interfere with the Fa-rectification, they will have a good place to go if they leave my body. At the same time, I deleted the novels on my cell phone and started to hand copy Zhuan Falun daily. I studied the Fa carefully, understood it from my heart, and filled my mind with righteous thoughts.
My runny nose and nasal polyps were gone within five days, and I could breathe normally. However, my sense of smell has not recovered, showing me that I still have some attachments to let go of.
Looking back, I realized that, as a cultivator, our thoughts and actions are being closely monitored by many beings, not just the old forces. If one's thoughts are not on the Fa, the body will have problems. We must study the Fa more, read more cultivation articles on Minghui.org, and cultivate ourselves well.
