A Dafa Bookmark Deflects a Burglar's Knife

(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Wu Bin. I'm from Hengshui County, Hebei Province, and I'm currently a college student in Shanxi Province. In 1998 my mother introduced me to Falun Dafa, and has continued to clarify the truth to me. Being strongly influenced by the CCP's culture from my youth, however, I was deceived by the overwhelming lies that Jiang's regime fabricated after July 20, 1999, and I doubted Dafa until one evening in May 2005.

On that evening I was walking with a friend of mine on a path near the campus. After walking for a while, we were separated for a short distance. As I came to a dark spot on the path without a street lamp, a burglar suddenly set upon me with a sharp knife in hand. He pointed his knife at me and demanded, "Do you have cash? Give me your valuables!"

My mind was a blank. I'd encountered a burglar. Something I'd only read about in newspapers was actually happening to me. What should I do? I looked back at my friend; he didn't see what was happening in front of him and was slowly walking towards us. I hurriedly spoke to the burglar, "I'm only a poor student and I have no money. Please let me go."

I raised my hand to shield my heart as I spoke, and my hand touched the Falun Dafa bookmark hanging from my breast pocket. I immediately remembered what my mother told me, "Silently reciting 'Falun Dafa is good' when you're in danger will provide you a narrow escape."

When the burglar saw that I had no money he lunged at my chest with the knife. The knife pierced my shirt and chillingly touched my skin. I was so scared that I fell to the ground and my mind went blank again. I was sure I was about to die. Not until my friend came to me and asked what was wrong did I come to my senses. I hadn't noticed when the burglar left.

Seeing my distressed state after the attack, my friend dialed the emergency number 120 for help. Then I suddenly thought to check my stab wound. I examined my chest and found no injury. How could this happen? I clearly saw the knife piercing into my body, yet I was unhurt. Who saved me?

As I looked again at my chest, I found the bookmark, which had been sliced by the knife. It was this bookmark, which was less than two inches long, that had deflected the knife and saved my life. The bookmark had saved me.

My friend was also astounded and couldn't say anything for a long time. I was deeply moved by the splendor of Dafa, and I sincerely thank the benevolent and awesome Master Li Hongzhi.

Because of my experience, I re-examined my understanding of Falun Dafa. "Falun Dafa is good" is indelibly etched upon my heart, and I wish to share the beauty of Falun Dafa with everyone around me.
