(Clearwisdom.net) The author of this article heard this story from a fellow practitioner about her recent experiences of a difficult time in her life. My intention is to share the experience with elder practitioners who are still experiencing "sickness" karma.
This is about a female practitioner around 60 years old. Soon after she became a practitioner in 1993, Master purified her body. Many illnesses she had suffered from prior to her cultivation disappeared, and she was very healthy. After 8:00 p.m. on May 7, 2009, without any warning, she felt dizzy and had a severe headache and pain in her temples. She said it felt like something was drilling into the top of her head. She could not open her eyes because she felt as if everything was turning whenever she opened them. She could not stand and almost fell down. Her family member immediately helped her to lay down on the sofa. She then had nausea and vomiting. She vomited and vomited until she finally threw up bitter water.
Her family members were very worried, especially her son and daughter-in-law, who are not practitioners. They wanted to take her to the hospital. She told them, as gently as she could, that they did not need to worry, they could go to bed, and she would be fine as soon as the dirty stuff was out of her body. Sure enough, by 10:30 p.m., all her symptoms disappeared after she threw up the bitter water. She sent forth righteous thoughts and participated in the 3:50 a.m. exercises. She then studied one Fa lecture and did not miss anything.
The next morning, her son and daughter-in-law noticed that she was preparing breakfast. They were surprised and asked if she was really recovered and if she was really fine. They witnessed the miraculousness of Dafa themselves.
The practitioner told me that when the "sickness" karma appeared, her mind was very clear. Her first thought was that she was a Dafa practitioner, everything was arranged by Master, and Master was by her side. The old forces were not worthy of testing her, and she would not recognize the evil, old forces' arrangements. Whether she would stay or leave this earth would be determined by Master. There was Master and the Fa, and she would not have any problem. When she threw up, she remembered that Master said that everything a cultivator experienced, whether good or bad, was all good. She treated the so-called "sickness" as a good thing. She treated it as if her body was going through another complete purification.
Because she had that thought and strongly believed in Master and Fa, the evil held no sway over her. She walked through her tribulation very quickly and successfully. At present, she is making full use of her energy to clarify the truth, verify the Fa, and save sentient beings. If she had not enlightened to that at that time and had, instead, thought that "illness was illness" or wondered how she could have "gotten" the illness or tried to figure out how such a serious illness could have appeared so suddenly, maybe the illness would have lasted a long time. Maybe other things might have happened. There could have been unimaginable results.
"Good or evil comes from a person's spontaneous thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences." "If you ask for an illness, it will come inside your body." (Zhuan Falun)
Through this, I was also inspired and pushed myself to improve. No matter what a cultivator encounters, he or she should not forget that he or she is a Dafa practitioner and that Master is by a practitioner's side at all times. If you strongly believe in Master and Fa and keep strong righteous thoughts, the evil forces will not be able to persecute you, and there will be no obstacle you cannot overcome. Later, that practitioner looked inward and found many attachments and eliminated them.
