By a Dafa Practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. In April 2004, to avoid being arrested by the police, I jumped down from the third floor of a building and injured myself. The experiences during my recovery process show the dignity and power of Dafa. I would like to share with fellow practitioners who are still suffering the persecution to firmly believe in Dafa and Teacher. You will experience boundless energy.

I was sent to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment after my fall. The x-ray showed that I had broken and dislocated my hip-bone and broken a bone in my left foot. The doctors were worried about my situation because in cases similar to mine, patients have died or become permanently disabled from such injuries. Although I suffered from horrendous pain that kept me awake at night, for the most part, my mind was still clear. Everyone around me suggested that I use tranquilizers to get relief from the pain, but I refused.

The pain I experienced awakened me and I realized where I fell short in cultivation. I felt I was on an edge and I saw demons and bad monks floating in front of my eyes. I knew they wanted to take away my life. I continuously sent forth righteous thoughts. Gradually, my body and things around me became tranquil.

Teacher's words appeared in my mind: "As long as you are a genuine cultivator, anything can happen. We had a cultivator a while ago who had steel pins and plates in his leg. He also had bones and even some other parts replaced. Later, he found that they had all disappeared without a trace, but his leg was in perfect shape." (Lecture at the Fa-Conference in Canada, Toronto, May 23, 1999)

I realized that Teacher removed those bad things for me. A broken bone is nothing for Teacher. While suffering and enduring the pain, I also thought of Teacher's words, "However strong the righteous thoughts are, that's how great the power is." (Also in a Few Words, September 9, 2001).

I thought to myself, "I am a practitioner during the Fa-rectification period and I deny any disturbances and persecution from the Old Forces! I came for the purpose of validating Dafa!" I told myself, "I must validate Dafa, and do what a Dafa practitioner should do." I firmly believe that Teacher will arrange everything for me. Right after that thought, I felt a burst of heat at the area of injury, and a rotation of energy in my foot. I knew our compassionate Teacher was protecting me.

The second day, my father and brother came to see me. My father does not practice Falun Dafa. He feared that I would become permanently disabled and would not allow me to leave the hospital. Although he knew that the surgery would cost 20,000 yuan, he still wanted me to have it. I told my brother, "I don't want to have the surgery. Let father have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow, I'll certainly go home."

My brother is a Dafa practitioner and he supported my decision. While I was talking, I felt my injured area trembling like something was patting it. That evening, I was able to move at the waist. I knew Teacher had corrected my broken bone. Before, it was very painful to move my waist. On the third day at the hospital, I told my father I did not need surgery. I would be fine, and we should go home. He was worried when he heard me say that to him. I also told him, " There is no guarantee that the surgery will be successful." Furthermore, there were the "15 possible" side effects from having the surgery. After listening to me, my father calmed down. I told him that Teacher has corrected my broken hip-bone and we could take another x-ray to see the condition of the injured area. The x-ray showed one of my broken bones had fused together. That had only been the fourth day since my injury. The doctors could not explain the healing. They were surprised at the power of Dafa. My father knew Dafa is good and he was happy about the result, and agreed to let me go home. When we left the hospital, it was sunny. My heart was full of confidence.

On our way home, I said to the sky in a firm voice, "I am a disciple of Teacher Li Hongzhi. I want to validate Dafa. Even though I have shortcomings, I do not accept the persecution. Eliminate all the evil and dark minions, all of them!" I repeated in a loud voice three times, and kept on sending forth righteous thoughts in my mind.

The first two days back home, I experienced high fever. I continuously sent forth righteous thoughts. At the same time, I frequently felt a patting sensation on the broken bones. Two days later, the fever disappeared and my waist could move freely without pain. I realized that Teacher had corrected all of my broken bones. The patting sensation I experienced was actually the fusing of my bones. That was April 11. I was saved once again by Teacher. Later I was told that April 11 was Easter and that Teacher lectured in America. My heart experienced a test of life and death, while my body went through reconstruction.

It has been two months since the injury, and I can slowly walk by myself. I could not stand up for awhile when I first recovered. Through studying Dafa, doing the five sets of exercises, and sending forth righteous thoughts, I got better and better. My family was amazed by my recovery and my parents are very happy. The doctor once said if the surgery were successful, I might be able to sit up after one and half a months!

Later, fellow practitioners asked me to write my experiences down and send them to Clearwisdom.net. What I would like to say to fellow practitioners who are still suffering in various ways is, "Firmly believe in Dafa and Teacher! When we truly forget about life and death, and do what a Dafa practitioner should do, Teacher will do everything for us."
