(Clearwisdom.net) I have been cultivating for eight or nine years. Except for being detained once at the beginning of the persecution, there have not been too many tribulations or problems in my personal cultivation and doing the three things. Maybe because it is hard to notice the attachments or human thoughts hidden deeply in such a smooth situation, or my attachments have been expanded due to my lack of ability to see things in other dimensions, the old forces started persecuting me in a hidden way. Not until problems appeared did I realize the omissions and insufficient righteous thoughts in my cultivation, and understand better the principle of the Fa that "good or evil comes from a person's spontaneous thought."

It was the second half of last year when many parts of my roof leaked and rain would come in. We spent almost five months working to add one more floor and renovate the house, which occupied most of my time and energy so that I did not have time to do the three things well. My cultivation state was not very good, and my work of saving sentient beings stopped almost completely.

One afternoon in December when the renovation was about to end, when I was reading some Dafa materials, I heard some noise in the attic. I thought it might be mice. However, there was no food in the attic, so I should not have worried about that. I did not realize that it was a form of interference, so I climbed up the ladder to try to get rid of the mice. While I was about to move from the top step to the floor of the attic, the ladder fell down, and so did I. My back hit the cement floor heavily.

At the moment of falling down, without any thought, I screamed, "Mom!" instead of calling Teacher's name. On the floor I felt the whole world was shaking; my body was falling apart, and I was in great pain. All of a sudden, my main consciousness awakened: I am a Dafa practitioner, Teacher, Teacher! I was wrong, I had omissions, Teacher help me please! I said it aloud several times while I kept sending forth righteous thoughts: eliminate the evil in other dimensions, eliminate the Chinese Communist Party evil spirits' interference, even if I have omissions or karmic debt, the evil does not have the right to interfere with or test me. I have my Teacher taking care of me. I also requested Teacher to strengthen me. Upon hearing the noise of my falling, my husband ran upstairs in a hurry and was scared because he thought I might be injured. He wanted to carry me to the bed, but I insisted on walking myself. I am a Dafa practitioner, I have the Fa and Teacher.

However, because my first reaction was not righteous, a bone of my spine broke and bulged out. I understood that this was just an illusion and did not want to surrender to it. My husband called two fellow practitioners to my home to send forth righteous thoughts with me and study the Fa together. I knew that I should look inward for any problems that emerged.

I enlightened to the following: 1) My attachment to my ordinary human living environment in the last stage of Fa-rectification was a yardstick measuring the degree of my stability in the Fa; 2) I had not kept a balance of daily life and the three things, and the evil forces and CCP's foul spirits will seize any change to cause practitioners to fall and stop doing the three things; 3) that calling for Mom instead of Teacher in dangerous situations would result in a negative physical condition for practitioners. The incident tested how strong my righteous thoughts were, and showed that I still had a lot of room to improve.

Through studying the Fa, sharing with practitioners, looking inward, and sending forth righteous thoughts for three days, the unbearable pain disappeared. I started to practice the exercises on the fourth day, and was able to finish all five exercises in a week. In the meantime, I was able to do housework and did not need physical care from others. All symptoms went away in about two weeks and I felt normal again. My husband said, "I would not have believed this if I had not witnessed the process with my own eyes." People around me also said, "Falun Gong is truly good."

In the process, I really felt that it is actually our great Teacher who has shouldered all the tribulations for every practitioner on the cultivation path. And it is also a test for us practitioners about our belief and steadfastness in the Fa and Teacher. During that period of time, I could not help crying whenever I thought of Teacher or saw Teacher's portrait. I have no words for my gratitude toward Teacher.

At the last stage of our cultivation path, we should not be attached to ordinary people's things. Rather, we should keep doing the three things well, and remember what Teacher said,

"I hope everyone will do better and better at the end. Be sure not to become lax. You must not slack off, and you must not become apathetic." ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles")

I would also like to remind fellow practitioners: do not forget to call on Teacher at critical moments. A slightly different thought will result in totally different consequences.

Please point out anything that is not in line with the Fa.
