A Taxi Driver: "Teacher Has Kept Me Out of Harm's Way"

By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net)

I am a taxi driver who began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Although I progressed very slowly in the beginning, our compassionate Teacher pointed out things to me over and over again, and gradually I became a true Dafa disciple. As a taxi driver I often go out of town and have been saved from several dangerous traffic accidents. The following is one of my experiences.

One day in January of 2003, I was in a hurry and driving very fast. The unpaved road was very slippery with heavy snow from a few days before. Because of heavy fog, I didn't see that there was a trailer in front of me until the last minute. To the left side of the road was a deep and icy trench and to the right side of the road was a row of tall trees. No matter which direction I went--straight ahead, to the left or to the right, the consequence seemed horrible. At this moment, it dawned on me that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. I cried out "Teacher!" With this word, my steering wheel suddenly turned left. My front wheels and left rear wheel drove into the trench while the right rear wheel was still on the road. My car came to a complete halt! The front of my car was only inches away from a light pole!

I knew from past driving experience that it was incredible for my car to come to a stop under such severe driving conditions. The ditch was so deep and slippery. If my car had fallen in, the consequences would have been fatal. I managed to get out of my car and find several people to help me. With much effort we got the car out. Others told me they couldn't imagine how I was able to stop the car. If Teacher hadn't protected me at every moment, the consequence of this accident would have been worse than anything one could imagine.

This is only one of the many times during my cultivation when I was saved from harm. The list would be too long if I wrote out one by one every time I have been protected from danger. If we don't do our best and don't do the three things well that Teacher has asked us to do, or we don't help Teach with Fa-rectification, how can we be worthy of what Teacher has done for us!
