"I Wish All the Drivers in the World Were Falun Dafa Practitioners"

Written by a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net)

I am a driver. I have experienced dramatic changes in my mind and body ever since practicing Falun Dafa. It has made an impact on the people around me, as well. The following is a story about my own experiences.

One day in September of 1996, when I was driving a jeep on the way back to my workplace, I saw a crowd of people ahead. It looked like an accident. I stopped when I saw a car on the side of the road, upside down. Two people were carrying a man from the car, and his head was covered with blood. I opened the door of my jeep to have them to carry the man directly into the jeep. I asked them, "How many people are injured? Bring them all into my jeep." They were just people who volunteered to help. They said, "We don't know, but his situation is urgent. You just go ahead with this one. We will stop other vehicles for the rest of the injured people." I agreed, so I jumped into the jeep and drove to the county hospital. When we were near the town, the injured man was able to produce a moan. He told me in broken sentences that there were five of them in the car and that they were from the city power bureau.

I took him to the emergency room at the county hospital and immediately informed the city power bureau. They sent vehicles and doctors to the site of the accident and some people to the hospital. Seeing that they had everything arranged, I went home.

A month later, the heads of the city power bureau and the county power bureau went to my workplace with a silk banner to thank me. They also gave me 500 Yuan as a reward. They said to me, "You have done such a good deed yet you didn't leave us your name and contact information. It was so difficult to find you." I said, "I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. I just did what I ought to do in that situation, to rescue the injured. I cannot take the money. Please donate it to the Hope Project to help the children who cannot afford school."

They told me, "The injured man that you took to the hospital was Chen Bing (pseudonym). After you drove away, the other four injured people were carried to the side of the highway. The volunteer helpers tried to stop passing vehicles. More than ten vehicles drove by, but none of them stopped. The drivers simply drove on as if they didn't see the injured people lying on the roadside. They finally stopped a truck to carry all the injured people to the hospital. Because of the delay, one person died upon arrival at the hospital." Hearing this, I felt sad for the person that had died and for those drivers.

Several days later, Chen Bing took his wife and kid to visit me. They called me a benefactor who saved his life, giving me a thousand thanks. He said that he was seriously injured. If it weren't for the immediate rescue, he would have died. I said, "You don't have to thank me. It is because I practice Falun Dafa that I learned to treat people kindly and always think of others. Any Falun Dafa practitioner would do the same in that situation. If you really want to thank someone, thank the teacher of Falun Dafa. It is his teaching that has changed me." He was moved and said, "Then please thank Falun Dafa and your teacher for me. I wish all the drivers in the world were Falun Dafa practitioners "
