(Clearwisdom.net) I would like to share with fellow practitioners how I obtained the Fa and my experience of Dafa's miracle when I was in tribulations.
In February 1996, one of my colleagues told me that another new type of qigong, called Falun Gong, had appeared. She also told me that her mother's illnesses disappeared after practicing Falun Gong. In addition, she said that reading Falun Gong books could cure illness. Prior to this, I had never heard that simply reading books could cure illnesses, so I was very interested in this qigong. I was a qigong amateur and had learned several types of qigong, but I had never heard that reading books could cure illness. I wanted to borrow the book to read it, and I wondered if it was so miraculous. The next day she lent the book to me. When I held the book in my hands, I saw a scene that I will not forget for the rest of my life. I saw Falun rotating on the cover of the book; it sometimes rotated rapidly and sometimes slowly. When I saw Master's picture, Master was smiling at me. At that time, I did not understand it at all. I thought my eyes were dazzled, so I rubbed my eyes. Later on, I told other practitioners about this incident. They admiringly said, "You are so fortunate. Master is watching over you and encouraging you to cultivate Dafa well."
I finished reading the book in three days. I was very excited after reading it, and I regretted that I learned of it so late. Master spoke in Zhuan Falun about prehistoric phenomena, and in the book , it is mentioned that qigong is cultivation practice, that Master is genuinely guiding people toward high levels, that everyone's body has quite a lot of karma and that people are producing karma. Such contents made me very curious. In the past, I had never heard of the above-mentioned contents. When I read the section "Genuinely Guiding People Toward High Levels," my body shook, and it seemed that there was something moving in my body.
At that time I told other people that Master Li must be an uncommon person and not a typical qigong master. I said that He knew all things including astronomy and geography. I knew I had met with a great Master and practice method. I knew that if I did not learn it immediately, I would have no other opportunity to learn. So I made my mind up to learn it.
I finally bought a copy of Zhuan Falun. Every day I took Zhuan Falun with me when I went to work or went home from work. If I had time I would read it. However, I had not yet done the exercises. After a while, my body became light and I could walk quickly. I had the feeling of levitating. I experienced some of the phenomena and examples that were described in the book. However, I had only a perceptual understanding. I did not know how to enlighten or become diligent at all. I only regarded it as an avocation.
When I was not diligent in studying the Fa, my body suddenly had trouble, and I met with a life and death test. In early March 1998, when I urinated, I found that my urine was more yellow than before. I did not pay much attention to it, thinking that it resulted from anxiety. On March 7 or 8, the color of my urine was viscid and looked like edible bean oil. I lost consciousness, and I could not eat anything. Under the circumstances of my losing consciousness, my family took me to a hospital. My entire body became yellow, and the physician examined me. The next day the doctor saw the CT-scan result and told my children that I was severely ill. My entire body was as yellow as yellow burning paper. They asked my children to take me to a large hospital for treatment. At 8:00 p.m. when we got to the large hospital, I was in a deep coma and in critical condition. After being examined, I was sent to the intensive care unit. At 10:00 a.m. the next day, I began to open my eyes. And then seven or eight doctors came to have a consultation about my condition. When one doctor asked me some questions, I was not clear and did not answer him. In addition, I was unable to see clearly. After a while, I lost consciousness again. Later on, I was diagnosed with subacute severe hepatitis, which was also called liver coma and liver putrescence. The doctor in charge of my case told my family that at present no specific medicine could cure this illness, that the recovery ratio was very low and that the survival ratio was 1% to 5%. He also told them that it was possible to lose both the family member and the money. The maintenance fee per day was more than 3,000 yuan. He said that after the sixth day if I had not lost consciousness, I would be transferred out of intensive care, but that did not mean that I was out of danger.
One day my younger sister's husband said that when I lost consciousness, I shouted "Teacher Li save me." They were surprised to hear me calling for "Teacher Li." I replied that I was calling Master Li Hongzhi because I had read the book Zhuan Falun; so I would not call others. I also was surprised that I could do so because I had only read Zhuan Falun; that is, I had not diligently practiced Falun Gong and I did not even know the five sets of exercises. Regardless, when I had difficulty, I could call Master Li to save me.
One day, as I repeatedly recited "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and "Falun is rotating," I fell asleep. I dreamed that a black, striped snake, which was as wide as a bowl and twisting my body, came out from my feet. The snake slowly crawled upwards, and sometimes the forked tongue from that snake's head came out. It twisted me so tightly that I could not breathe. I was scared and dared not cry out. After a long period of time, it came out of my head. I realized that before I read the book Zhuan Falun, I learned several phony types of qigong, so I had snake possession. Master helped me clear up the animal possession.
One time, I dreamed that a Falun went into my abdomen. After I woke up, there was still Master's picture in the corner of my eyes. At that time, Master wore a white short-sleeve shirt and sat on a chair to lecture. This phenomenon lasted for several days. My illness was disappearing, so I decided to leave the hospital. The doctor in charge of my case disagreed with me. He pointed out that the test results showed that every test item did not meet the normal requirement, and some even exceeded the normal level by dozens of times. He also said that I was still in the danger period, and if I developed complications I was bound to die; therefore, I had to stay in the hospital at least for six months to one year. I did not want to stay in the hospital anymore, so I requested several times to leave. They finally agreed with me and allowed me to leave.
In June 1998 I left the hospital and found a Falun Gong practice site. Every day I went to the practice site to do the exercises at 4:00 a.m., and I attended the group Fa study at 7:00 p.m. In late July, I returned to the hospital for a check-up. The test results showed that my subacute severe hepatitis had completely recovered. The doctors were all surprised and continued to ask me what medicine I used. I told them, "I practice Falun Gong and have never taken any of the medicine you prescribed for me." The doctors said that they had never met with such a miraculous thing and that it was a miracle in the medical community.
Only one month after I studied the Fa and did the exercises, I had recovered rapidly. Master saved me and gave me a new life. I appreciate Master so much! I will do the three things well and remain diligent in the future.
Due to my limited level, I hope fellow practitioners will kindly point out my gaps.
