Using Righteous Thoughts to Deny Persecution

I have practiced Falun Dafa for over 10 years. On a day in mid October 2009, I was riding my bicycle to deliver truth-clarifying materials. As I crossed the street, a car sped toward me from the left. I had no time to get off my bicycle and cried out "Master, please save me!" I had the thought in my mind to not allow the evil to knock me out, and that I must protect the materials. I kept repeating "The Fa rectifies the Cosmos, the Evil is Completely Eliminated".

The car hit the front wheel of my bicycle and I fell hard on the ground landing on my back, and the bicycle fell on top of me. I had the feeling something was pressed against my lower back and I immediately felt extreme pain. I tried to stand up but could not. A bystander told me, "Lie down, don't stand up." The car stopped and the driver walked up to me, "Are you okay?" I said, "I am fine, please help me get up." The driver helped me move to the sidewalk and I said to him, "I am okay, you can go now." The driver left.
I rode the bicycle while in extreme pain and I kept reciting "The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos, the Evil is Completely Eliminated." I went to a practitioner's home nearby and left my bicycle at her place. She called a three-wheeled taxi to take me home. On the way home, the driver asked me why my back was hurting so badly, and I told him that a car hit me. He asked why I didn't ask the driver to take responsibility for this. I told him that I practiced Falun Dafa and Master told us to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to be good people, and that I didn't want to get the driver into trouble. I realized I should clarify the truth to him and he agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates. He helped me to the door of my building and thanked me.

I asked for Master's support and finally walked up to my home on the sixth floor. The first thing I did was burn incense to thank Master for saving my life. I then sat down bearing extreme pain and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors that were persecuting me and I denied the old forces arrangements. I am a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period and I have been through many tribulations. The physical pain should not matter to me. So I then started to do the second set of the exercises. After thirty minutes, their was sweat all over the floor and my clothes were soaked. I still felt a lot of pain and nausea, and it continued.

I called several practitioners and they came to my home quickly. They sent forth righteous thoughts for me. We shared our experiences and I looked inwards to try to find out what loophole I had that was caught by the evil. I remembered that studying the Fa the preceding day, one sentence made a deep impression,
"We are teaching Falun Dafa. In practicing cultivation of our school, you will not have any problems as long as you can conduct your xinxing well, since one righteous mind can subdue one hundred evils." (Zhuan Falun)

I understood that Master was giving me a hint. This tribulation had happened in a faster dimension already. I didn't always do well on bearing hardships, and instead, I had many tribulations with my xinxing (heart and mind nature, character) cultivation. This kind of physical pain had never happened to me before.

I thanked Master in my heart and knew I must do well. I made up my mind to break through the tribulation in three days so that it would not affect my doing the three things (study the Fa [the teachings of Falun Dafa], send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth about Falun Dafa and about the persecution to the world's people). I told fellow practitioners to go home and support me from their homes with righteous thoughts. I declined others' offers to stay to help me. I had to do everything myself and sent forth righteous thoughts every hour. I listened to or read the Fa. It was difficult for me to move and lie down with the bad back pain, and sitting down or squatting took a long time to do. I live by myself, and I only let Master arrange my cultivation. Doing the fourth exercise, I had to bend down. With a determined mind of believing in Master and the Fa, I finally was able to do it.

The next day, after sending forth righteous thoughts at midnight, I made up my mind to do the fifth exercise, the sitting meditation. Although I still felt a lot of pain and nausea, I went ahead and did it despite that I kept sweating. However, after 40 minutes I felt that Master had gradually removed the heavy substance that bothered my back from other dimensions. My body then felt more relaxed and the pain gradually disappeared. I felt very comfortable and wonderful. When the exercise music stopped, I did not even realize that an hour had passed. I sincerely thanked Master that I had gotten through the tribulation.

On the second day I had no problem doing the exercises, so I wanted to break through even further on having meals. I had been vomiting the last two days and my body felt hot at times and cold at times. I had no appetite and had not eaten anything, so I was really weak. I sent strong righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil factors in my body. I spent thirty minutes eating a small bowl of noodles. After this breakthrough, my body recovered and I was back to normal. On the third day, I went to deliver materials to a practitioner. She was not surprised that I recovered. I said, "Yes, Master is with us, there is no tribulation that we can't break through."

After this experience, I enlightened that as Dafa disciples in the Fa rectification period, the thought of firmness in Dafa is very important. If we deviate from that firmness, different results would occur. Practitioner B told me about Practitioner A's experience last year. Practitioner A had always been good at practicing and clarifying the truth to people. She had persuaded the party secretary at her work place to withdraw from the CCP. She had an accident at around the same place as mine when she was riding her bicycle, and she died at the hospital. Practitioner B told me, "When Practitioner A was hit to the ground, she first thought of her husband's cell phone number. Her husband and family members are not practitioners. After they arrived, they sent her to the hospital. She was not cured and other illnesses broke out as well, and she died, but in your case you were thinking all about Dafa."

Now I understood why Practitioner A died. It's just like what Master said in Zhuan Falun, that good or evil comes from that one thought. I thank Master very much! I am extremely grateful for Master saving me!
