(Clearwisdom.net) I am 50 years old and have been practicing Falun Gong since March of 1997. Teacher has purified my body and given me a second life.

Teacher said, "Dafa disciples' cultivation is not merely for the sake of individual Consummation. Doing well at the three tasks of Dafa disciples and saving sentient beings are things Dafa disciples must do." ("To the Midwest Fa Conference in Minnesota") I have been doing the three things a Dafa disciple should do - the morning exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts four times a day, participating in group Fa-study, clarifying the truth, and asking people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). However, the old forces tried to test me and interfere with my doing the three things by having me suffer physical discomfort. Once, I vomited a large amount of black liquid. When I tried to eat, I felt nauseous and vomited it up a short while later. I would also throw up even after drinking water. This lasted for about a week.

At that time, I had only one firm thought, "Believe in Teacher and Dafa and completely reject the old forces' arrangement. I only accept the path Teacher arranges for me and will not accept any other path." I still went out to distribute truth-clarification materials and the Shen Yun DVDs, clarify the truth face to face, and ask people to withdraw from the CCP. I used "truth-clarification" bills to buy things. At night, I couldn't sleep because of the unbearable stomach pain I had. Still, I got up to send forth righteous thought at 12 midnight and did the morning exercises as usual. However, I felt energetic during the day. Dafa is truly miraculous.

A month later, I had lost a lot of weight. My son grew worried and asked me to go see a doctor. I told him, "Teacher says, 'In practicing cultivation of our school, you will not have any problems as long as you can conduct your xinxing well, since one righteous mind can subdue one hundred evils. If you cannot maintain your xinxing well and go after this or that, you are bound to get yourself into trouble. " (Zhuan Falun) Since I am cultivating in Dafa, I firmly believe in Teacher and Dafa."

Teacher also says, "It is known that what actually causes people to become ill is seventy percent psychological and thirty percent physiological. Typically, one experiences a mental breakdown, the mind cannot handle it, and one suffers a heavy mental burden before the illness' condition drastically worsens. It is usually like this." (Zhuan Falun) My son was convinced and never mentioned about seeing a doctor again. It is truly like Teacher says, "...just by having your heart unaffected you will be able to handle all situations." ("Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)" from Essentials For Further Advancement II)

Facing the interference, I looked within and diligently studied the Fa to avoid further loopholes for the evil to take advantage of. I found many hidden attachments. I eliminated the resentment I still harbored, the attachment of fighting and jealousy. Teacher said, "What is cultivation? What is the ultimate goal of cultivation? It's to emerge from among ordinary people. When you're no longer one of them, can ordinary people's various conflicts, attachments, and different factors still have an effect on you? Absolutely not." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Western U.S. Fa Conference") Teacher's words dissipated my confusion. The conflicts between my mother-in-law and me were resolved. I began to have the compassion of a cultivator.

During the two months that I was interfered with, I didn't passively endure and lay in bed. Instead, I was in charge of distributing truth-clarification materials to several practitioners. I also persisted in studying the Fa and continued to do my chores at home, including taking care of my mother-in-law. I firmly walked the path that Teacher arranged for me and completely rejected the old forces' arrangement. It is truly as Teacher said, "If you weren't attached to anything the old forces would have no excuse and could do nothing to you." ("Teaching the Fa at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Students") Now I can eat and drink normally. I have witnessed the power of Dafa.

Our path of cultivation is very narrow. If we are not careful, we can easily deviate from it. Only by walking the path that Teacher has arranged for us can we completely reject the interference and arrangement of the old forces.
