(Minghui.org) My name is Lotus, and I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from a small town in northeast China. One day while walking with a fellow practitioner, we were hit by an oncoming car. We were thrown about four meters. I landed on my head and back, and was knocked out. My fellow practitioner had blood all over her face, but was less seriously injured.
She awoke first and was surrounded by people who were calling for an ambulance. Her first words were “We are Falun Dafa practitioners, protected by our Teacher. We don't need for an ambulance, and don't want to get anyone in trouble.” She repeated what she said.
I was waking up and could hear her. My first thought was, “I am a Dafa practitioner, I must stand up, we are protected by our Teacher!” I struggled just to sit up and then said, “We are Falun Dafa practitioners. We want no trouble for the driver who hit us. We will be fine, and don't need to go to the hospital.”
The driver, bystanders, and four young police officers were amazed. They said that we almost died but all we could think about was not getting the driver in trouble. They said that Dafa practitioners were so kind!
Then the driver of the other vehicle, in tears, said, “I have heard people say that Falun Dafa is good, but today I see it with my own eyes. Falun Dafa is really good, and practitioners are so kind!”
An ambulance was nonetheless called, so I decided I would use the opportunity to validate Dafa and save others. I wanted to turn this seemingly bad thing into something good.
We were taken to the intensive care unit at a hospital. I told the doctor I didn't need any medical attention. The doctor would not listen, and asked me for the phone numbers of my family, so he could notify them. I provided the numbers.
When they heard about the accident, my family rushed to the hospital. They wanted to help with the medical expenses. One relative offered to donated 1000 yuan, another wanted to donate 2000 yuan. These are not wealthy people, and I told them that I couldn't take their money. I wanted them to save their money for their children's tuition. One of the families already had a child who was attending a university and was short of money. She was in tears over my thoughtfulness.
Some of my family members asked the driver to pay for the medical expenses. I stopped them, and told the driver that I didn't blame him for the accident, and that he was free to leave. The driver teared up and knelt down. He said, “I have never met anyone as kind as you. I have several thousand yuan here, please take my money.” I refused, and explained to him that I was a practitioner, and strived to consider others first.
I then asked the driver if he had joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or its affiliated organizations. I said I would like to help him withdraw, so he will be safe when the CCP is eliminated. The driver had only joined the Young Pioneers, and agreed to withdraw from it.
One of my relatives worked in that hospital. She came to visit me, and suggested that I come stay with her in her home for a few days, so I left the hospital and went home with her.
I stayed with her for five days, before returning to my own home. I was uncomfortable, and my body seemed to hurt everywhere. I seized every bit of time to study the Fa and practice the exercises. After I returned home, I thought I should explain the facts about Falun Dafa to the company drivers. I took some informational materials with me and went to see them. They could see that my face was still very bruised, and they were surprised I was out and about. They told me to go back home and rest, “We will distribute this information for you.”
I took the opportunity to explain the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution to many drivers, thus turning the accident into a good thing for all.
Moreover I felt that the incident opened my mind further. I understood Master's teaching about the structure of the universe that I did not understand before. Dafa is truly amazing!
