(Minghui.org) I read Zhuan Falun once in my last year of high school. I encouraged my mother to practice Falun Dafa because I found this Fa was really good. However, I never thought of practicing it myself until 2012, when I was 26.
After starting the practice, I was involved in a car accident and experienced several other dangerous situations. Each time I experienced the power and protection of Dafa.
Overcoming Thought Karma
I had very bad thought karma starting in March 2016. I knew that I had to follow Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, but bad thoughts continually occupied my mind. I was not able to suppress them or get rid of them.
I knew that only by studying the Fa more could I get rid of the thought karma. Master said, “The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts.” (“Drive Out Interference” from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
With studying the Fa more, my thought karma weakened and my cultivation went back on track.
Facing A Long-term Test
I had to face another test soon afterward. My legs and feet felt heavy and walking to work became difficult. It took me 30 minutes for what should have taken only ten. I quit my job so that I could increase studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I went out to clarify the truth to people with my mother and other practitioners every day, and then I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises with the other practitioners. I had a very good cultivation environment.
My health worsened after I quit my job. My left leg and foot became numb and heavy, and I was in pain when walking. There was an abscess on my right foot, and I noticed holes. Black liquid oozed from the holes. I could sit only in the half lotus position when practicing the fifth exercise.
Master said,
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide.” (“The Master-Disciple Bond” from Hong Yin Vol. II)
After reading Master's words, I knew that if I was in the Fa and thought of Master when I had difficulty, Master would help me. I let go of all my bad thoughts. Every day I studied the Fa, did the exercises, and clarified the truth.
When my legs improved a bit, I started to sit in full lotus position. Several days later the wounds became smaller, and my health improved. Master was cleaning my feet and legs from a deeper level.
When my relatives and friends saw me in such good health, they were surprised. One of my aunts said to my mother: “Falun Dafa is amazing! Your Master is so great!”
