(Minghui.org) I’ve practiced Falun Dafa since 1996. This February, I dreamed that I saw a few male and female police officers wandering around in a harvested rice field. Someone told me that they were looking for evidence to persecute me. I didn’t pay much attention, and thought “I haven’t done anything wrong, so there’s nothing to fear.” Just then, a male police holding a handful of rice roots said, “We’ll find fault with her.”
When I told a few practitioners in our Fa-study group about my dream they said I should look inward to see if there were any loopholes in my cultivation that the old forces could take advantage of to persecute me. They also pointed out that I was a bit too careless with practitioners coming and going from my place, picking up truth clarification materials. I agreed, but I didn’t truly look within to see if I had any loopholes.
I’m a retiree, and I usually go to bed after sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight. However, after midnight on February 16, I felt a strong force rushing straight up to the top of my head, and instantly I had a splitting headache and felt sick. I ran to the toilet and vomited. Afterwards I went back to my room and sent forth righteous thoughts. I vomited a few more times, and the intense headache just wouldn’t go away.
I knew that evil entities were persecuting me, so I kept sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate them. I refused to accept what was happening as eliminating karma—instead I felt the old forces were taking advantage of my cultivation loopholes. I couldn’t lie down because I had trouble breathing, so I sat up and sent righteous thoughts.
The severe headache continued, and I looked inward. I felt that Master gave me some hints, which helped me realize two of my biggest problems. One was that I looked on my cell phone. I also bought an electric keyboard and wanted to learn to play online. However, when I tried to pay for the lessons, I had trouble completing the payment process. I later realized that I shouldn’t waste precious time on hobbies, but I still browsed my phone to learn recipes, or look at other things.
I also saw another loophole. A practitioner donated 100,000 yuan to make truth clarifying materials before she passed away. Practitioners don’t keep money or material possessions, but I thought her case was a bit different. If we refused her donation, it would deny her good will, and show a lack of compassion. So I accepted the money and put it in a special account. As our material-making project is quite costly. There wasn’t much left in the account, even though we were careful and never wasted money.
A few practitioners also donated money from time to time to help pay for supplies and sometimes the donations were over 10,000 yuan. I deposited the money into the account, and forgot the Dafa principle that we shouldn’t keep money.
After I realized these loopholes, I immediately deleted those video apps on my phone and returned the money to the practitioners who made donations. I told them I’d let them know when we needed money to make materials. They all appreciated this and understood.
When my family members (non-practitioners) tried to take my blood pressure, I refused. I knew the device might show something abnormal, and even though the reading would give a false appearance, my family members would take it as true and worry about me.
Many years ago, I sustained multiple bone fractures as a result of the persecution, and was taken to hospital for emergency treatment. The hospital wanted to operate on me, but I refused. After I got home I kept sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil that was persecuting me. With Master’s compassionate protection and help all my bone fractures healed a week later, and I was able to walk.
My family, relatives and friends all witnessed my miraculous recovery, and said, “No wonder so many people practice Falun Dafa. Such serious multiple bone fractures were healed in just a few days! This practice is truly amazing!”
Since then, I hadn’t experienced any big sickness tribulations, except for a few small symptoms, such as a light fever or runny nose, which went away very quickly.
This time however, the tribulation struck me with overwhelming intensity. I suffered unbearable headaches and it felt as if my head was about to crack open. I refused to acknowledge any of it, and tried to do everything as normal – studying the Fa, doing the exercises, cooking, eating, washing up, taking showers, and so on.
It was very hard for me because I’d become rather weak physically and sometimes I couldn’t even stand steadily. I refused to allow myself to sit down like a “sick” person, but tried my best to act as normally as I could.
Master said,
“When you can really do that, not just saying it but putting it into action, Master will definitely stand up for you.”(Fa-Lecture During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference)
It’s extremely important to keep sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate interference when we have tribulations. During the day, apart from doing the exercises, listening to Master’s Fa lectures and recordings of how fellow practitioners pulled through sickness karma, I would spend as much time as possible sending forth righteous thoughts. At night, when I couldn’t sleep due to the headache, so I kept sending righteous thoughts.
In the beginning, I focused on eliminating dark minions and rotten demons, as well as the communist specters that were persecuting my flesh body, but the pain did not go away.
I later began to send forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate all evil entities, dark minions and communist specters that created ordeals to persecute Master and practitioners. Even though my head still ached I felt much better and more peaceful.
At that time, the entire body of Falun Dafa practitioners was sending righteous thoughts to dissolve the ordeals happening in the U.S. I knew that when I melted into the powerful force of sending righteous thoughts as one body, instead of focusing on my own tribulation, my righteous thoughts became more powerful and my body damaged by the evil was repaired in other dimensions—that’s why I felt better in in this dimension.
With this understanding, I kept sending righteous thoughts to dissolve the ordeals facing Dafa practitioners as a whole, instead of for my own tribulations. It wasn’t wrong to send righteous thoughts to pull through tribulations in the past, and the effect was quite good. However, this time, I went beyond myself and melted into sending forth righteous thoughts with the whole body of practitioners, and I could feel that my righteous thoughts became more powerful. It also felt like my cultivation improved.
I remember reading a sharing article on Minghui.org, in which the practitioner said he suffered headaches which were similar to mine. His celestial eye was open so he could see that the reason for his sickness karma was because he used to live by the seaside and killed and cooked a lot of marine life.
I also lived by the sea when I was young and must have accumulated a lot of karma by eating freshly caught fish, prawns, and so on. However, in Fa-rectification cultivation, we do not acknowledge the persecution imposed on us by the old forces that use our karma as excuses.
The old forces put personal cultivation first, while ignoring that in the Fa-rectification period, Dafa practitioners also need to fulfill a sacred mission to assist Master in saving sentient beings. The old forces try to “test” Dafa practitioners to the point of taking their lives. By doing so, they are in fact committing crimes. They know they’re in the wrong, but they don’t stop.
However, as long as we hold strong righteous thoughts and keep rectifying ourselves in the Fa, we can pull through tribulations imposed on us.
This recent tribulation I experienced started on February 16 this year, with continuous splitting headaches. It was not until March 3 that the headaches finally ceased. I began to have a runny nose in the last two days, so I added another thought: Eliminate this. It mustn’t be allowed to persecute me.” My nose stopped running.
I’m very grateful for the supernormal abilities Master bestowed on us. As long as we hold strong righteous thoughts based on the Fa, miracles will occur.
Even though I couldn’t sleep for about 15 days due to the unbearable headache, and spent the nights sending righteous thoughts, I didn’t feel sleepy at all during the day.
“Pain” and “bitterness” may go hand in hand. When I had pain in my head, my mouth also felt bitter, and even when I was hungry, I couldn’t eat anything so I drank honey water instead. For 2 weeks, I didn’t eat anything except honey water. Then, I would sit down to continue sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil.
The other practitioners wanted to spend more time sending righteous thoughts when we met to read the Fa to support me. I stopped them after 20 minutes because I thought we should study the Fa as we normally do. While we read, my body felt cold. I knew it was a good thing, because the power of the Fa was disintegrating the negative substances in my dimensional field.
I didn’t want to take up practitioners’ precious time as they are already very busy with Dafa work, and I didn’t want to develop an attachment to relying on others, which could become an excuse for the evil to persecute me. Besides, replying on others may also give rise to resentment, as one may blame others for not caring enough.
Although I had a continuous intense headache, I didn’t take it seriously. I said told it, “It is only pain. I won’t die. I’m not afraid of you. What else can you do? I will keep sending righteous thoughts to eliminate you. Let’s see who perishes in the end.”
The interference ended and I completely recovered from the ordeal by constantly sending righteous thoughts and rectifying myself based on the Fa principles.
I knew Master was by my side protecting me all the time, and I could feel Master’s boundless compassion. Master has borne too many tribulations for me and strengthened me with the immense power of Dafa. As I write this, tears of gratitude are streaming down my face. Thank you Master!
