(Minghui.org) I am 83 years old and my husband is 86. We have been practicing Falun Dafa for nearly 30 years. Compared to most people our age, our minds are sharp and our bodies are agile. We are even more energetic than some young people. Those who know we practice Falun Dafa say: “Look at this extraordinary couple, they get around like swallows!”

Many miracles happened to me after I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1995.

I was a sickly child, and my health went downhill after I got married. My spirits were low and nothing interested me. I wondered: What is the meaning of life anyway?

As a new practitioner, I did not have a good understanding of what I should and should not do based on Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. For example, prior to cultivation, my husband and I liked to consult fortune tellers. After we began practicing, we still did that when things did not turn out as planned.

One winter, I lost control of my bike when I was on my way to the fortune teller and fell to the edge of the riverbank. My head hit a concrete pillar, and I lost consciousness.

Two people saw me fall. They carried me to safety and helped me contact my family after I regained consciousness. My head hurt and my family took me to the hospital for a check-up the next day. The doctor said that I had a concussion and should stay in the hospital for observation in case there was internal bleeding.

After I returned home, I thought: I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner, Master Li is watching over me. As long as I firmly believe in Master and what he taught, I will be fine. It suddenly occurred to me that I should focus on reading the Fa. Only with a good understanding of the Fa, would I effectively be able to help Master save people.

I went out with other practitioners to distribute pamphlets and hang up banners to let people know about Falun Dafa. Saving people is our responsibility. Once my xinxing went up, Master cleansed my body, and all my concussion symptoms were gone.

Most of my sickness karma took no more than five days to go away. I do have occasional back pain. However, the pain in my back once lasted longer than usual. I did not focus on improving my xinxing and kept wondering why my back still hurt after so many years of cultivation. I then thought about going to the hospital to get a thorough exam and find the root of the problem. This thought was already not aligned with the Fa, so the old forces took advantage of the loophole, and my back hurt even more.

I could not turn when I lay down. Taking even one step was unbearable, and I could not manage to use the bathroom by myself.

Feeling depressed, I lost my temper and yelled at my husband, “Don’t you see my condition? You don’t even care!” My husband replied, “How do you want me to help?”

“Take me to the hospital!”

He was angry, and then I got even more upset and started to cry. My daughter intervened and said, “Let’s go to the hospital then.”

An X-ray showed bone spurs on two of my vertebrae. The doctor recommended physical therapy and injections. I was told to return the next day to do paperwork.

Before we walked through the hospital gate, I turned to my daughter and asked, “Why did I come here? I made a mistake!”

I knew I disappointed Master. I’m a Dafa practitioner, and I should diligently cultivate myself. So instead of riding the bus, I walked home with a limp. After that day, I focused on cultivating myself. The pain went away in a few days and never came back.

Thank you, Master! I will remain diligent in cultivation and save more sentient beings.
