Not Asking for Compensation When Injured in Two Traffic Accidents

Before I obtained the Fa one year ago, I had various ailments such as frozen shoulders, arthritis, and lower back and stomach pains. Sometimes, I was unable to move due to the excruciating pain, and my wife had to take care of me. She is also a practitioner and introduced me to Falun Gong.

When I was on my scooter last March, another scooter hit me from behind. I fell off and immediately lost consciousness. The accident took place near my home, and the neighbours helped my wife to take me home. As I regained consciousness, a neighbour suggested that I go to the hospital, but my wife wanted me to try to walk first to see how I felt. I took a few steps and felt a little pain in my ankle and lower leg. My wife told the person that accidentally banged into me, “Hospital visits are really expensive. We don't need to go. We are Falun Dafa practitioners and our Teacher asks us to be good people and follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He will get well by doing the exercises.” The neighbours insisted that I at least have an x-ray to be sure, but we simply went home.

A couple of hours later, my leg became very swollen and the pain prevented me from standing or sleeping at night. My shoulder and ribs were also injured. My wife suggested that we do the exercises the next morning.

We woke up at around 3:00 a.m. and I could not stand up at first. When my wife started to play the exercise music, I stood up immediately and did the exercises for two hours. I felt much better after that, and was able to work at my business the following day.

I persistently did the exercises and studied the Fa every day. After a month, I had recovered from my injuries and was able to move around freely. I did not take any medication and experienced the miracle of Falun Dafa and Teacher's salvation.

A few months later, I was on my scooter again and was hit by a car, which was driving in the wrong direction. Blood started gushing from a cut on my head as it hit the car's bumper. I put my hands over my head and asked Teacher to help me. The driver got out of the car to see if I was OK, and then took me to the hospital. A doctor shaved my hair around the wound, which was about two inches long, and disinfected it. The doctor told me that I needed to have eight stitches to close the wound, but I only wanted him to put some gauze on it to stop the bleeding. The doctor and the driver urged me to get my head stitched up. I insisted that I would be fine. The doctor then asked me to take some medicine to prevent an infection. I told them both that I practice Falun Dafa and that everything will be fine. The doctor had me sign the prescription, so that he could be cleared of any further responsibility.

I turned to the driver and said, “Young man, you are lucky that you hit a practitioner like me. Had you hit someone else, they may have died or would want to get compensation from you. Now go back to work and don't worry about it.”

My wife and I began to clarify the facts to the people in the hospital. The people there were moved by Dafa's teachings and principles. The driver gave me his contact information and told me to find him and his employer if anything would go wrong.

I went back to the scene of the accident and retrieved my scooter. As I was about to leave, a passer-by asked me how much money I had gotten from the driver. I replied, “Nothing.” The person could not understand it and started to lecture me as to why I should have gotten money from the driver. I told the bystander that I practice Falun Dafa and did not want to cause the driver any trouble.

My head still hurt after I got home, so I sat down to listen to Teacher's lectures. Within five minutes, my head stopped hurting, and the wound miraculously healed over night. The next day I took off the bandages from my head and went out to take care of my business. My neighbours were in disbelief when they saw me. I showed them my head where the hair had been shaved by the doctor. They were really surprised, and said, “Such a miracle! No wonder you insist on practising Falun Dafa!”
