Master Saved My Life Three Times
By a Falun Gong practitioner from Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom) I began practicing Falun Gong on June 5, 1996. I have recounted below the three times that Master saved my life.
The first time, I had returned home after buying 20 pounds of vegetables for the New Year celebration on January 25, 1998. My building has four floors and I live on the fourth floor. I set up a ladder to the warehouse on the roof of the outside porch and climbed up to store the vegetables. With my right hand I opened the door with such force that I fell from the 20-foot-ladder and down to the third story. It was like I was suddenly flying, sitting cross-legged on the staircase landing. I was still holding the vegetables in my left hand. Only the skin on my right index finger was cut a little. If I hadn't practiced Falun Dafa I would have fallen to my death or broken my bones.
The second time was in 2002, the year that the Communist Party most viciously persecuted Falun Gong. To avoid repeated harassment from the police, the leaders where I worked, and security guards at my job, my wife, who also practiced Falun Gong, and I moved into my daughter's house. Early in the morning on January 24, 2003, I went out to buy groceries. At the crossroads I suddenly flew like an arrow across the street. I heard someone behind of me yelling, "Grandpa, stop! Grandpa, stop!"
I looked to the left and right but there were no one on the street. When I glanced over my shoulder I saw a very long truck that was blocked by a large stone gate. The four men on the truck were shouting, and the driver stepped out and was also yelling. Only then did I realize that I had been hit by the truck and thrust through the large gate. I had been struck very hard and thrown 100-130 feet. I said, "It's not a problem! You can go!"
I would have died without the protection of Master's fashen.
On the evening of February 21, 2006, at 6:30 p.m., I took my wife for a stroll because she was not feeling well. (Before practicing Falun Gong she had had a cerebral hemorrhage). I suddenly felt as if I had disappeared, and all at once rolled back from the side of the road. I immediately opened my eyes and said, "No problem! no problem!" I looked around but there was not a single person there. There was only my wife standing over a yard away, looking stupefied.
After turning my head around and looking west, about 33 feet away I saw a man around 30 years old who had fallen down. He was wearing a red helmet. Another 22 feet away there was a red motorcycle turned upside down. I realized that I had been in a car accident. I scrambled to my feet and yelled, "What's wrong? Let's get you to the hospital!"
I yelled three times but he did not utter a sound back. I could see blood flowing down his face. I thought he was finished and became very worried. I yelled again but he was still silent. From another side, a pedicab with a roof came towards us. The driver came over. I bent over and said, "You see, you ran into me, but there is nothing wrong with me. But aren't you hurt?" The man suddenly said, "I didn't hit you." The pedicab driver asked him," Where is your home? I will take you!" He said in a booming voice, "I don't know!"
The pedicab driver said to me, "I was on the other side and saw everything. This young fellow collided with you and threw you 11 feet in the air. How are you? Check yourself, are you OK?" I said, "I practice Falun Gong, there is nothing wrong with me!" The driver said to the man that rode the motorcycle, "You can go! There is nothing wrong with him."
When these things happen I realize that these are all debts that are owed from previous lives. Master has again and again paid back the debts for my past failings and rescued me, a disciple who has failed to live up to expectations. He has saved my life three times. The only way I can thank Teacher for his kindness is to earnestly cultivate well.
