Teacher Awakened Me and Saved My Life By a policewoman Dafa practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) I have worked as a police officer for over 20 years. I was fortunate to have
been introduced to Dafa in 1996. On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
started to persecute Falun Gong. Because of my profession, my superiors, family,
and friends tried their best to prevent me from cultivating. They strengthened
my attachments by appealing to my devotion to my work and family. Due to my
selfishness, I gave up cultivation for eight years. In the middle of July 2007, I found a big lump on the right side of my neck.
It was difficult to get a diagnosis even after going to several different
hospitals. It was finally diagnosed as a thyroid tumor, for which doctors
suggested an operation. I did not follow their suggestion because my elderly
father was hospitalized at the time and was in need of care. One evening in early August, when I was about to get off a bus, I suddenly
sensed a great pain in the back of my head, as if someone was striking my head.
I got off the bus, and it felt like the left half of my body was paralyzed. My
head was very hot, and I found it more and more difficult to move. Although I
was stunned at what was happening to me, I remembered Teacher and said in my
mind, "Falun Dafa is good. Teacher will let me go home. I will get
home." The symptoms did not get any worse. Half paralyzed and with my legs
barely able to support me, I finally arrived at my home, which was on the fifth
floor. Lying in bed, I thought for a few minutes and decided to go to the hospital.
I thought that I was no longer a cultivator after eight years, since I did not
study the Fa or do the exercises. In the hospital I was diagnosed
with a stroke and a tumor in my brain. After two weeks of treatment, the
paralysis on the left half of my body was gone, but my headaches and dizziness
did not improve. During my stay in the hospital, I went home once to get some clothes. I took
this opportunity to do the Falun Gong meditation exercise for 30 minutes. I felt
really good and had no pain or dizziness. I told this to my husband, and he said
that I should do it privately. After two weeks of transfusions, the headaches and dizziness still remained.
The doctors said I could take the medicine at home, but that it might take over
three months to recover. After I got home, I went to a hospital that specialized
in treating tumors. After the examination it was determined that the lump on the
right side of my neck was a symptom of lymphatic tuberculosis, and I was told to
go immediately to an infectious disease hospital. At the doctor's words, I remained calm. I had been thinking about why I had
so many life-threatening symptoms. Why did I remember Teacher and Dafa when the
symptoms appeared? Why was there such a big difference between before and after
when I did the meditation exercise? None of these things happened by accident. I
suddenly remembered that there was a copy of Teacher's Fa lecture "Teaching
the Fa at the U.S. Capital" on my milk box. I found it immediately and
started to read it. After I read it through, I was in tears. Teacher said: "As Dafa disciples, you need to validate the Fa and do
what Dafa disciples are supposed to do. You can't take such a long time to
change yourself. There's no time for that. This is especially relevant for
those students who didn't do well in China and who made mistakes. Fa-rectification
isn't over yet, so be quick to catch up. " I came to understand that our compassionate Teacher had made use of my
disease karma to wake me up. I failed to understand this when the first symptoms
appeared and remained unaware. After that came the more serious ones, like the
stroke and the brain tumor. The disease karma finally got my attention. That
day, if I had not thought of Teacher and Dafa, I could have fallen over and
never stood up again. Our compassionate Teacher had saved me and awakened me
with a heavy blow. Although I have not practiced cultivation for eight years,
Teacher never gave up on me. I came to understand that I was a cultivator, who
has a predestined relationship with Teacher to return home with him. I was
placed in this human world to help Teacher in Fa rectification and save sentient
beings, not to enjoy the comforts of everyday people. I must let go of my
attachments to fame, gain, and qing. On September 4, 2007, I went to the home of a relative who practices Falun
Gong and told him that I would cultivate and asked him for help. He told me to
study the Fa, do the exercises, and do well the three things Teacher
asked us to do. That day I felt really relaxed, and all my symptoms were gone.
After I came home, I decided to cultivate and give up the medicine. Right after I started to study the Fa, I ran into a fellow practitioner that
I had not seen for many years at a vegetable market. Our compassionate Teacher
had arranged our meeting. I told her that I was cultivating Falun Gong. Several
days later, this practitioner sent me all the Fa lectures after 2000 and gave me
truth clarification materials. I studied the Fa diligently. In the
meantime, I tried to do the three things well, including truth clarification and
sending forth righteous thoughts. I now study the Fa, participate in the group exercises, send forth righteous
thoughts, and ask people everyday to quit the CCP and its affiliated
organizations. Recently, I started to study the Fa with fellow practitioners and
send forth righteous thoughts. I can sense my improvement everyday. All that I
lost in the past is now being recovered. I am taking fame, personal interest,
and qing lightly, and I am giving up my attachments. I have successfully
passed many xinxing tests very well. In four months I underwent great changes. Compassionate Teacher picked me up
from hell, awakened me with a heavy blow, and led me to find my way home.
Whenever I ask people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, I always
recite Teacher's poems in Hong Yin and feel no fear with
Teacher and Dafa at my side. The old forces have no way to take advantage of me
now that my mind is filled with the Fa. I think there are still fellow practitioners who are in a deep sleep like I
was before. Wake up, stand up, and go out to validate the Fa and save sentient
beings! Be quick to catch up. Teacher is waiting for us to go home.
