Some Miracles of Dafa I Experienced

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, and I’m now 76 years old. In these 27 years of cultivation, I have deeply felt the boundless compassion of Master and the infinite power of Dafa.

Practicing Dafa Brought Great Changes to My Body and Mind

In my 30s and 40s, I was already suffering from many illnesses. Some years I had to take half the year off on sick leave. After just a couple of years of treatment, my medical records at Xiehe Hospital were nearly two inches thick. The illnesses I had included fibrotic pulmonary tuberculosis, multiple hemangiomas, liver cysts (the largest was 4x4 cm), pancytopenia (abnormally low white blood cells, red blood cells, and hemoglobin), thyroid nodular tumor, chronic pharyngitis, high blood pressure, and many other minor issues. With so many health issues, I naturally was never in a good mood. I was easily irritated and quick to get angry, and both my husband and child were afraid of me. Since my health was poor, I could not do much housework and felt lazy every day.

Since I began practicing Dafa, I haven’t needed to take a single pill, yet my body underwent a complete transformation. I became strong and healthy, my skin became smooth and delicate, and my temper improved tremendously. I seemed like a completely different person. With improved health, I became the main force handling the housework. My family became harmonious, and we never argued with each other again.

Later, when my husband fell ill and frequently soiled his pants, I wasn’t disgusted at all, and I cleaned everything up for him. When he didn’t finish his meals, I would finish it rather than get upset. In the past, this would have been completely unthinkable. Our neighbors in the courtyard told my husband that he must have burned a lot of incense in his past life to be so fortunate to have me for his wife.

All these changes came from practicing Falun Dafa. The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance guided me to remove bad thoughts and selfish notions, and to consider others first. Whenever I faced difficulties, I could feel Master Li right beside me, protecting me. As long as I believed in Master and the Fa, used the Fa to guide myself, and improved my xinxing, I didn’t have much to worry about, because Master has arranged everything perfectly for me.

Master Has the Final Say

In 2000, because I refused to write a guarantee statement promising to stop practicing Dafa, my work unit forced me to retire three years early. If I didn’t agree to leave, all the employees at my workplace would have had their year-end performance bonuses canceled because I practiced Falun Dafa.

While I was employed, I earned several thousand yuan a month. After being forced to retire, I received only a thousand a month. But I didn’t argue at all. I thought that I couldn’t let others suffer losses because of me. If I insisted on staying and my colleagues were financially affected, they would all resent Dafa, and their lives would be ruined. Besides, I felt money was just something external, and having enough for food and daily life is fine. My husband and child both had salaries, so I accepted it without issue.

However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) didn’t want it to appear as though they had forced me out because of my faith. They wanted me to write an application saying I was retiring early due to poor health. I firmly refused. I said, “I’m very healthy. You’re the ones forcing me to retire.”

On the surface, it looked like I suffered a loss for sticking to my belief. But I knew that it is always Master who has the final say. In the few years after that, my pension was adjusted every year, and increased by three to four hundred yuan each time, until it was about the same as regular retirees.

Moreover, my former workplace assigned us an apartment in the city center. Since we had transferred out of the workplace, the apartment was supposed to be taken back. But in the end, they didn’t reclaim it. We paid 10,000 yuan, and it became ours. Later, when that apartment building was demolished, we were given a large three-bedroom apartment to replace it.

All these years, I’ve never fought for anything. Yet Master has given me so many blessings.

Not a Drop of Water Got Into the Master Bedroom

I felt that this spacious three-bedroom apartment was a blessing given to us by Master, so I used it to print truth-clarification materials. I rarely stayed there. I only went there when I needed to print materials.

One night, a little past 10 p.m., my downstairs neighbor from that apartment called me and said water was leaking from my place into his home. I was shocked. How could that be? Nothing like this had ever happened before.

Since my husband was in his 80s, I had my younger sister come with me. On the way, I quickly sorted out my thoughts and made up my mind. First, if the leak came from my apartment and caused damage to others, then as a Dafa practitioner, I must hold myself to the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and take full responsibility for any losses. Second, if the water came from upstairs and damaged my apartment, I must not handle it as most people would. I should think of others and not take a single penny from them. My mind quickly calmed down.

By the time we arrived, it was nearly midnight. We rushed upstairs, opened the door, turned on the light, and were stunned to see that the living room was completely flooded. The water was about 10 centimeters deep, and I saw my slippers floating there.

As I was still in shock, the upstairs neighbor came down. It turned out their water pipe had burst, and no one was at home, so water had been flowing for several hours. Everyone helped to scoop water out of my apartment. We also called a cleanup crew, and we all worked until 3:30 in the morning to get all the water out.

I said to my sister, “Let’s rest a bit.” I went to turn on the light in the master bedroom, and then realized that we had forgotten about that room. All of the Dafa-related materials were stored in there. The master bedroom was directly connected to the living room and should have been the first bedroom to flood. How could we have forgotten to check it?

As I carefully looked around, I saw that the floor of the master bedroom was completely dry. I picked up a stack of printing paper from the floor, and it was completely dry. I was overwhelmed with joy. I said, “Sister, look! It’s not wet at all!” She said, “This is a miracle! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it, no matter how you told me. I’m sleeping in this room tonight!”

I was astonished and deeply moved. I could truly feel that our compassionate Master was right there with us. I wasn’t sleepy at all anymore.

The furniture in the apartment had been soaked. Even the curtains were wet halfway up. In every room, other than the master bedroom, we had to scoop out eight or nine big buckets of water. The wood floors were damaged, and some of the baseboards were cracked. The kitchen range hood motor was damaged beyond repair, and even the wall outlets stopped working. My upstairs neighbors were terrified. I comforted them, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for a penny.”

Even the staff at the property management were surprised. One of them said, “Auntie, at least let them buy you a new range hood.” But I stood by my promise and didn’t ask for a single penny.

I deeply understood that Master used this incident to help me improve my xinxing and also made the best arrangements.

I Obtained an Incense Burner Inscribed with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

Around the year 2000, my husband was allocated a three-bedroom apartment through his workplace. Since we now have enough space, I wanted to respectfully display Master’s portrait and get an incense burner. I knew Master had once held a Fa conference at Jietai Temple in Beijing, so I went to the shops near there to look for one.

While browsing, I saw an incense burner that was just the right size. It was bronze-colored, and it was elegant and dignified. When I held it up, I was stunned. There were raised characters engraved on it: “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” “Falun [is] Forever Rotating,” and “Buddha Fa is Boundless.” I was overjoyed and couldn’t contain my excitement. I thought: “No matter how much it costs, I must bring it home.”

The shop owner said, “You’re really lucky! Only two of these are left. We’re selling them discreetly, and we wouldn’t charge any extra money.” At that time, the persecution was especially severe, so I deeply cherished this incense burner.

Over the 20-plus years of my cultivation, there have been so many miracles that I’ve experienced. Despite the CCP’s persecution, under Master’s protection, my family and I have made it through peacefully and benefited immensely. Colleagues and friends have often said to me, “You’re always so optimistic, cheerful, and full of energy.” I told them that it was because I have Master which is truly a blessing!

Nowadays, with so many natural and man-made disasters, I sincerely hope my experiences can awaken more people. Don’t keep believing in the theories of atheism and evolution that are promoted by the CCP. It is only by quitting the CCP’s atheist organizations that you can have a beautiful future for yourself. Only by aligning with Heaven’s will can one avoid the catastrophe.
