(Minghui.org) Most of my husband’s colleagues have contracted the COVID virus and my husband was no exception. Being worried about passing the virus to me, my husband asked me to stay in another room. I said, “We cultivators have supernatural powers and energy in our bodies, so the virus cannot harm me. I want to take good care of you.” Therefore, we still lived as a regular husband and wife. We ate our meals together, and I periodically checked if he was still running a fever.
On the second day, I felt some discomfort in my head, throat and whole body. I thought: I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, so I must have righteous thoughts. It is impossible for me to contract the virus. Master said,
“True Dafa disciples have higher energy and are able to destroy karma and germs; they are emissaries of salvation in these latter days, ...”(“Stay Rational”)
On the third day, I came down with fever symptoms. During the day, I posted many Dafa truth-clarifying stickers, and went to the supermarket to buy a lot of things. After returning home, I felt uncomfortable and really felt like going to bed immediately to take a nap. However, I was worried that my husband might see me in this state, and that may have a bad effect on his impression of Dafa. Therefore, I went to the kitchen and made a simple dinner. After finishing dinner, I placed the dishes into the sink, but was too exhausted to clean them. I then lay down in bed.
After watching television programs, my husband came into the room, checked me out and said, “Your body is burning.” I said, “The heater is too warm and the room is too warm.” When my husband was having a fever, he would still feel cold despite covering himself with blanket. However, I did not feel cold despite wearing shorts. I just had a headache, and I felt uncomfortable. The nerves in some areas felt periodic pain but this pain was tolerable. As my eyeballs felt more painful, I thought to myself that Master must be helping me to get rid of karma since I am near-sighted.
On the fourth day, I had to go to the supermarket to buy some things for my mother-in-law. I felt a bit unstable as my whole body felt lethargic when I was going down the stairs. The walk from my house to the supermarket takes 25 minutes. I originally planned to take the public bus on the return journey but somehow, I forgot to take the bus. It was only when I was halfway back did I remember and asked myself why I did not take the bus back.
At that time, I was carrying a school bag that was filled with fruits and both hands were carrying one box of milk each. It felt as though I would never reach home no matter how long I walked.
When I finally reached home, I behaved as though nothing had happened when I entered the house. However, my husband discovered that there was something wrong with me and insisted that I take my temperature. The result turned out to be 38.3 degrees celsius and my husband felt remorse. He said, “You have contracted the virus, too. I should not have come home to stay.” I said, “I am not the same as you. I will not contract the virus. I am just getting rid of my bad karma, and I will recover very quickly.”
My husband knows that I do not take any medication, so he said, “Why don’t you drink some soybean water?” The internet says that drinking soybean water can help to bring the body temperature down. I said, “I am not drinking that.” But one thought appeared in my mind: can my body take this high temperature? What if something happens? After a while, my husband said, “Why don’t you drink some orange juice?” I said, “I am not drinking that, either.” As the old forces are keeping a close eye, waiting to prey on Dafa practitioners, every thought of ours is very important. We cannot touch a bit of the sentient stuff and must look at problems in the perspective of the Fa. I said to my husband, “I want to read Dafa books.”
I opened Teachings at the Conference in Los Angeles and Master said,
“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. ” (Teachings at the Conference in Los Angeles)
I understood that as a Dafa practitioner, I am a being that is not within the control of the sentient elements nor the low level Fa principles. What fever? What fever is damaging my body? These are all principles and knowledge at the sentient being level.
After studying the Fa, I further understood the Fa principle. The next morning, my body temperature measured 36.9 degree celsius. When my body temperature was taken again in the afternoon, it showed 36. 4 degree celsius. Everything has gone back to normal.
