(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, and it has saved my life three times since then.
When I was younger, I was often ill. I suffered from heart disease, hepatitis B, uterine fibroids, and arthritis, among other ailments. My mother died of lung cancer in her 30s and my sister died from breast cancer at 40. I felt it was only a matter of time before it would be my turn.
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in my 40s. My family couldn't bear to speak about it. My father often had tears in his eyes when he looked at me. People at work felt sorry for me. I left instructions with my husband for after my death.
I had two surgeries and the doctor suggested chemotherapy. I was terrified of chemotherapy because I had witnessed my sister going through it. It was extremely painful for her and she only lived another year.
Just when I was at my most disheartened, my aunt came to visit and brought me a copy of Zhuan Falun.I finished reading it in one day. Surprisingly, I did not feel tired, hungry, or thirsty that day. I remember thinking that I had been looking for something like this for years. I felt that I had finally awakened from this nightmare life of mine.
Over the next two days I felt that my body was being cleansed and I felt light. Since then all my ailments disappeared without any medication. My family and colleagues thought Falun Gong was truly amazing.
One day at work, my back and stomach both started to hurt. I went home and rolled on the bed in pain. The pain was periodic and peaked in intensity every five or ten minutes for the entire afternoon.
In the evening when I went to the toilet, a piece of tissue came out. Later, another piece came out. I put the two pieces of tissue in a container and took them to a friend at a hospital. She told me that they were uterine fibroids and she thought I'd just had surgery to have them removed.
When I heard that, I cried. “Thank you, Master!” I said in my heart.
This incident amazed my friends and family. They all thought it was miraculous, and some started practicing Falun Dafa afterward.
One morning in 2005, I had an argument with my husband. I left home in anger and was hit by a car while riding my bicycle to work. I lost consciousness and had no memory of what happened. I woke up in the hospital that afternoon. A doctor was shaving my head to get me ready for brain surgery. I told my son that I wanted to go home, then I passed out again.
The MRI showed bleeding inside my head and many fractures. The doctor recommended a craniotomy immediately. My son heeded my wish and did not let the doctor operate on me.
I woke up the next day and insisted on going home. But the driver who hit me was worried. He said, “You can't leave the hospital now or I refuse to be responsible for anything that happens to you.”
I told him that I was a practitioner of Falun Dafa and wouldn't extort a penny from him. But he insisted on having a notary witness that I was leaving the hospital of my own free will. I was carried home on a stretcher three days later.
After I returned home, I read Zhuan Falun and did the sitting meditation whenever I was awake. In only 5 or 6 days, I was able to stand. I completely recovered in less than 2 weeks. Later, I visited the driver who hit me and he was amazed at the speed of my recovery. Even his mother-in-law decided to learn Falun Dafa after hearing my story.
From this experience, I understood that cultivation is a serious matter. We must not do just as we please, and we must strive to maintain righteous thoughts at all times.
