Amputee Gets a New Life By Practicing Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) Both my legs were amputated from the hip down, which has caused me enormous physical and mental anguish.

At first, I had phantom limb pain, which kept me awake at night due to poor circulation. Because I had to sit so long, I developed skin wounds similar to bedsores from my waist down to my buttocks. Since it was painful, I would lie face down, which made it hard for me to breathe.

The amputation site was always cold and numb, which was hard to bear. I could not care for myself, and life became excruciating.

Fortunately, I Came Across Dafa

An elderly neighbor visited me, saw my situation, and suggested I practice Falun Dafa. She told me that it had miraculous healing powers. Since I couldn’t stand up, she taught me the sitting meditation first. I followed her movements, and after a while, the amputation site felt warm—this had never happened before and I was amazed.

I grew up being instilled with atheism. I am a typical materialistic atheist with poor enlightenment quality. I didn’t believe in gods or Buddhas and thought such beliefs were idealistic and superstitious.

But as soon as I wanted to do the Falun Dafa exercises, it seemed that higher beings got involved. I was shocked. I’d heard the expression, “When a thought arises in the human heart, Heaven and Earth will know it.” I didn’t believe that in the past, but now I do!

What happened that first time I did the meditation made a huge impression on my mind, completely overturning my past perceptions.

My neighbor was moved: “You are predestined to do this practice, Master is already taking care of you!” I have been practicing Falun Dafa ever since.

Breaking the Shackles of Atheism

My neighbor brought me the books Zhuan Falun and The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection. After I learned Dafa, I realized humans all come from Heaven; when they no longer meet the standard, they drop down, layer by layer, until they reach the Earth. In this cycle of reincarnation, I had accumulated immense karma. Everything has its cause and effect. All the suffering I’ve endured is caused by my karma. As long as I cultivate and eliminate my karma, I can return to my original self. That is the purpose of one’s life.

Since I don’t have legs and even part of my buttocks is gone, I do all the exercises sitting down, and my movements are not very accurate due to my condition. Yet I still experience the boundless compassion and divine power of Falun Dafa. The effect of practicing Falun Dafa is very good, and the experience is profound.

During and after the exercises, my arms feel light, my body is relaxed and comfortable, and when I meditate I feel as if I am in another dimension, carefree and peaceful.

The enlightenment from studying the Fa and doing the exercises has broken the shackles of atheism and I have found my life’s true destination. I have never backed down despite the brutal persecution, and I have been firmly walking on the cultivation path of Dafa.

Eliminating Karma Through Hardship

Master purified my body, and my many illnesses are gone, including my dizziness, stomach pain, back pain, and pressure sores at the amputation site.

Master said:

“But our universe has this principle of “no loss, no gain.” We cannot remove everything for you. It is absolutely not allowed for you to not endure some suffering.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)

My first karma elimination came in the form of a toothache. In the past, I used to take medication for my chronic swollen gums and toothache. One day after I started cultivating, I had such a severe toothache that my entire face was swollen, I couldn’t open my mouth and I had a fever. I realized my body was being purified so I endured it for the next six days, until it passed. After that, I’ve never had a toothache again in the past twenty years!

When I first studied the Fa, I would lie down on my chest. I knew it was disrespectful, so I tried to sit up, but my buttocks was numb and painful and it was very hard to sit still. I told myself to patiently endure this so I could eliminate karma little by little. After years of practicing, I can now sit and read three lectures of Zhuan Falun, do all five exercises in one go, and do what a Dafa practitioner should do.

Cultivation is about enduring hardship; only then can one’s karma be eliminated. In this lifetime, I’ve only endured a little bit, and I cannot imagine how much Master (Falun Dafa’s founder) has endured on my behalf! Now I feel fine and relaxed even if I sit all day in my wheelchair. Only Dafa and Master could eliminate such enormous karma! I am grateful for Master’s saving grace, and it also validates how extraordinary Dafa is!

My Family Also Blessed By Dafa

My son supports me in practicing Dafa and believes Dafa is good. When we made calendars with information about Dafa, we noticed plainclothes agents nearby. My son carefully hid them without being seen by the officers. He is blessed and protected by Master for his kindness.

One day, my son went out of town with a group of friends. On their way home, they had a terrible car accident. The two passengers in the front died at the scene; one person in the back suffered a brain injury and died the next day, and another had a severe injury as well. But my son suffered only a sprained ankle and was fine after a thorough checkup. He knew that Master had saved him!

My daughter also knows that Dafa is good. She often gives her in-laws and classmates Dafa material, such as the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and other materials. She often recites the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She is blessed with good health and a harmonious family life.

I have had enormous physical and mental improvements during my more than twenty years of Dafa cultivation. Other people comment on my youthful looks and healthy complexion.

Dafa granted me good health and taught me to forbear. I have learned to face life with a peaceful smile. My improved character and outlook validate the wonders of Dafa!
