(Clearwisdom.net) I became a Falun gDafa practitioner on July 2, 1996, after speaking to my neighbor on several occasions about Dafa. After reading Zhuan Falun, I felt very good—Master had cleansed my body during the process. I had a high fever and there was pain in my joints, but I knew that I was not ill. I continued to practice the exercises, and all of the symptoms quickly disappeared. My former illnesses, including high blood pressure, tracheitis and several other ailments, were all healed.

In 2002, I suffered from symptoms of illness. I did not study the Fa well at the time. My family took me to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with cancer. My family wanted me to have surgery, but the hospital would not perform the surgery for me because they believed the cancer was at the final stage. I felt a lot of pressure, but maintained a peaceful mind.

A fellow practitioner brought me Master’s “Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia.” After reading it, I realized that the illness karma may have appeared because I had previously signed a contract with the old forces. I decided to negate it, and I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate it. Meanwhile, I continued to follow my regular daily routine. Four months later, I was free of the illness karma, and after that, Master again began to cleanse my body. I began to have black stool, which later changed to red and eventually returned to a normal color.

I began to experience illness karma once again in 2008. Fellow practitioners came and shared their thoughts with me, and I discovered that I still harbored human attachments that gave the old forces another opportunity. Searching within, I discovered that when our house had been torn down by the government, I had the thought to live an ordinary person’s life. After receiving a large amount of money as compensation for our house, I started to plan how to divide it between our two kids, and how my husband and I would spend the rest on our new house.

I had learned that my life was extended by Master. Without Master’s help, I probably would have already left this human world a long time ago. However, because I focused on ordinary life, the evil forces took advantage of my loophole. Master reminded me while I studied the Fa. Finally, with strong righteous thoughts and Master's help, I was able to deny the old forces' arrangements. I will only walk the path arranged by Master, and nobody else can touch me.

I learned a tremendous lesson from my experience. Cultivation is a serious matter. Every single human thought we have can be used by the old forces to destroy us. We must look inward and cannot go astray from the Fa at any moment. We can only fulfill our prehistoric vows within the Fa.
