(Minghui.org) I am 80 years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa for more than 20 years under the protection of Master Li, founder of the mind-body practice based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
I was hot-tempered before practicing Dafa. With numerous health issues, I was often in a bad mood and quarreled with my husband. With no peace at home, we eventually ended up with a divorce. I raised my child and worked hard to support the family. But I had been tormented by illness and pain for a long time. When I was at the lowest point in life, I was lucky to take up Falun Dafa. I don’t know how to repay Master’s immense compassion, so I would like to share my miraculous experience in Dafa cultivation to express my gratitude to Master!
I had been suffering from a variety of health problems before I practiced Dafa. The most serious was my stomach disease. I was unable to eat any strongly flavored food, be it sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy. I was sensitive to cold as well. I tried many kinds of medications but suffered from the side effects instead.
However, after I took up Dafa in 1998, I regained my energy with daily Fa study and exercises. I no longer felt tired doing housework and my heavy legs became light. Master cleansed my body after about a week of vomiting and diarrhea. Unlike the torment from the illnesses, I did not feel miserable with the vomiting and diarrhea but felt comfortable and relaxed.
I have not had any more stomach troubles during the past 20 or so years, no matter what I ate. I am grateful to Master for giving me good health. I am striving to be a true cultivator to repay Master!
On August 14, 2022, when I was about to get home after visiting fellow practitioners, I felt something pass out of me, and my pants immediately got wet. I did not feel any urgency to urinate though. After I returned home, I discovered what I had just passed was not urine but blood.
When I changed my pants, I was shocked to see large and small blood clots. The amount of blood was excessive and had soaked through three layers of clothes. I put on my gloves and picked them up. The blood clots were elastic and trembling. Later on, I realized that they were tumors. Master cleansed my body and pushed out the tumors via my period discharge.
Master told us:
“Another change that will happen is that older women will have their menstrual period return, since there is an essential energy involved in this blood that’s needed in mind-body practice. So while their period will start up again, it won’t be heavy; it will be just enough to serve the purpose for this stage of practice. And this too is common, since the development of your body would be impeded without it.” (First Talk, Zhuan Falun)
In fact, I had started to menstruate again three months before the incident. The return of the menstrual period has happened to many practitioners, but is still rare among practitioners in their 80s. My period during the past months was light. Though I was shocked to see the heavy flow in August, I did not feel fearful, knowing that Master cleansed my body. I barely felt anything beforehand, just a bloated stomach, which did not bother me.
My daughter came to my place before I cleaned up everything. Seeing this situation, she became anxious and asked me to go to the hospital. I reassured her that I was fine. She helped me clean up and I washed myself. Then we sent forth righteous thoughts together. She called another practitioner, who sent forth righteous thoughts for me for another 20 minutes.
About an hour later, the blood flow stopped. The practitioner said that my complexion became rosy. I also felt better, as if I grew several years younger. In the afternoon, I practiced an hour of meditation. I felt very relaxed and comfortable, sensing Falun rotating gently on the right side of my cheek.
My belief in Master and Dafa has never wavered, and won’t ever waver in the future! When I lost several family members in a row a few years ago, my dedication to cultivating was not affected in any way. I knew that it was a test of my letting go of my sentiments. My routine of Fa study, exercise, sending forth righteous thoughts and truth clarification remained the same.
One practitioner said that I have a strong will to cultivate. I acknowledged it because I am well aware of my responsibility and mission of my life, which is to help Master in Fa-rectification and save people. With firm righteous thoughts and Master's protection, all hurdles can be overcome. I will cultivate myself and do the three things well to repay Master for his compassionate salvation.
Thank you, Master, for your protection! Thank you, fellow practitioners, for your selfless help!
