Witnessing the Wonder of Dafa Through an Accident

(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Dafa practitioner from a village in the Handan area of Hebei Province. On August 2, 2008, I came out of my house and tried to start my electricity-powered bicycle, when a cargo truck suddenly struck me from behind. I was knocked to the ground, hitting my head very hard. I immediately felt excruciating pain, but I was conscious and aware. I thought about Master right away, telling him, "Master, I am OK!"

The driver was in a panic. Shortly after, a large crowd surrounded the scene, and the villagers yelled, "Take her to the hospital right away!" My family also insisted that I go to the hospital.

Since I could not move, they took me to the hospital. After my X-ray examination, the doctor said, "There are two linear fractures at the bottom of your spine. You need to be bed-ridden for six to seven weeks." I replied, "No , I cannot lay down for that long." I thought, "I should not add trouble to the driver and my family. I have many things to do. So many people in this world are waiting for me to clarify the truth to them. I cannot just lay down."

The doctor and my family could not persuade me, so I went home that same day. The first two days, I hurt all over. I could not even turn on the bed. My legs were totally black and blue, my buttocks swelled up, and liquid accumulated underneath my skin. My family brought me medicine, and my mother-in-law brought me crutches. They discussed it with the driver, and since my husband had passed away and I was financially strained, he agreed to give me 15,000 yuan to pay for any medical expenses. I did not stop him immediately, worried I would hurt my family members' feelings. I remembered Master's teaching:

"No matter how much money she was paid, how could she be comfortable being hospitalized for the rest of her life?... The driver indeed drove the car too fast, but how could he possibly hit someone on purpose? Didn't he do it unintentionally?" (Zhuan Falun)

I thought to myself, "I cannot take the money. I have to return it. I am a Dafa cultivator, and I will abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

On the fourth day, my fellow practitioner came to visit me and asked me to get up and walk around. She said, "We are practitioners. We have Master, so don't worry about anything." I mumbled, "How can I walk around? I cannot even turn on the bed." I suddenly realized that this was not a righteous thought, and thought, "This is persecution arranged by the old forces. I shall never acknowledge it. I listen to my Master." I replied to her, "Yes! Master is next to me. With Master's protection, I am not afraid of anything, and I can do anything!"

My fellow practitioner helped me get out of bed and I was able to walk right away. My mother-in-law had visited me earlier and lost her temper because I refused to be hospitalized. She talked about broken bones under treatment needing at least 100 days to recover, let alone without treatment, so she questioned when I could move again. She had just left, and now I could walk again!

My fellow practitioner was very happy, and she said, "Let's go see your mother-in-law, and let her see you now." After we arrived, I parked the bike and told my mother-in-law, "Mother, look, I am better." She was skeptical, asking, "Are you sure?" I answered, "Yes, yes. Truly, I am well." She was ecstatic for me. Then I took the fellow practitioner and visited my sister-in-law, who was also in disbelief, "Really?" she asked. "Yes, look at me!" I replied. I walked around and told her that it was me who drove the bike and brought my fellow practitioner there. My sister-in-law shouted, "Great, great! This is such a miracle, Falun Gong is so marvelous!"

I know that if it were not for Master, I would have stayed in bed for who knows how much longer and suffered how much more. After searching many places, I found the driver and told him, "I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. Master told us to become better people, so I do not want to add trouble to your family. Even though I am tight financially, I cannot take your money." His family took the 15,000 yuan back, and they were deeply moved. His daughter said, "Falun Dafa is so good, I want to learn!"
