China Fahui | Miraculous Experiences From Letting Go of Resentment

(Minghui.org) Greetings, revered Master! Greetings, fellow practitioners!

I always thought I had a fairly good temperament and seldom resented or hated anyone, so I didn’t pay much attention to the issues of resentment and hatred during the early years of my cultivation in Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong).

About 10 years ago, however, I suddenly realized I actually had strong attachments to resentment and hatred that had been covered up by the false appearance of my good temperament. I made up my mind to let go of them through cultivation.

It hasn’t been easy, but I would like to share three miraculous experiences that happened during this process.

My Missing Car Key

My workplace is located where the city meets the suburbs, with farmland just a short distance away. I can commute to and from work by car or on the shuttle bus provided by my employer.

You have to be on time to catch the shuttle bus. I you miss it, you’ll have to wait for another two hours to take the next one or walk a long distance to catch a bus or a taxi in the city.

I got my driver’s license 10 years ago, and even though I wasn’t an experienced driver, I decided to drive to work, just for the convenience.

One day in the winter of 2016, I stayed a little after work to finish what I needed to do. By the time I was ready to go home, it was already dark, and the shuttle bus had long gone.

While walking downstairs, I searched my bag for the car key, but I couldn’t feel it anywhere in my bag. Then I opened all four compartments of my handbag, but the car key was nowhere to be found. I thought I might have left it in my office by mistake and went back to look for it.

I searched everywhere around my desk, but I couldn’t find it, so I emptied my handbag to search it again. Still it was nowhere to be seen.

By then, I was sure I’d lost my car key. In my usual way of thinking in the past, I would become restless and agitated, feel resentful, and typically take out my frustration on my family members. I would dwell on every unpleasant thing that had happened and blame others for the “injustice” I felt they had done to me.

But this time it was different because I had already made up my mind to let go of theattachments of resentment and hatred. When the attachments started to emerge, I told myself I would never be controlled by such degenerated elements. I told them in my heart, “You’ve lost today! No matter what happens today, I will not blame anyone or resent myself.”

As I thought this, the resentment that was about to erupt slowly dissipated, and I became very calm, a feeling I had never experienced before.

I wondered, “What should I do now? I’ve lost the car key, and it will take a long time to get the spare from home. What if someone finds the key and steals my car before I get back?”

My car was nothing fancy, but it was still my family’s most valuable possession, so I still felt a little anxious at the time. Then I thought, “Master takes care of his disciples, and nothing that shouldn’t happen will happen. If someone indeed finds my car key and steals my car, then there must be a karmic connection behind it. If the car was meant to be lost, then so be it.”

With this thought, I felt completely at ease and put everything back in my bag. Since it would take a long time to catch a taxi from my workplace, I decided to walk to the city and take a taxi home from there.

Then something amazing happened: I bought two boxes of dumplings from the staff canteen and put my hand in my bag to get my employee card to pay for it, when I felt something bulging inside. “Could it be my car key?” I quickly unzipped the outer pocket of my handbag and saw my key sitting there as if it had been there all this time.

Cracks in My New Refrigerator Disappeared

In the summer of 2017, the old refrigerator we had used for 15 years started leaking water, so we decided to get a modern, frost-free refrigerator and have it delivered.

The following evening, I got a phone call from the delivery person, saying he would be there in about an hour. At around 10 p.m., the delivery man arrived. He was in his 50s, slightly smaller than average build, and looked rather tired. I wondered if he was strong enough to carry the refrigerator up to our apartment.

Indeed, by the time he had struggled to carry the refrigerator upstairs on his back, he was completely out of breath and exhausted. I offered him some ice cream to cool down a bit. After a little rest, he asked me to help unpack the refrigerator and put it in place. He also told me a few things to be careful about when we started using it.

He then got ready to carry our old refrigerator downstairs but was too exhausted to do it all by himself. He asked if I could gave him a hand. I’m not very strong, but the two of us did manage to carry it downstairs. We loaded the refrigerator onto his tricycle, and his weary figure slowly disappeared into the night.

After I went back inside, I cleared up the packaging, plugged in the refrigerator, and started cleaning the inside. Then I noticed a few cracks spreading out like spikes on the glass surface of the freezer door.

I am a perfectionist, so the cracks really upset me. Almost instantly, my old way of thinking began to emerge, and I could sense a feeling of resentment building up inside me and targeting my husband as I got ready to complain that he was not helping me.

Just as I was about to open my mouth, I suddenly became clearheaded and realized the resentment I felt was actually being stirred up by an evil being from another dimension. I calmed down and said to it, “You want to make me get angry and resent other people? You want the old forces to use this as an excuse to persecute me? No way! I will handle the situation calmly and with rationality.”

I considered several options: First, I could call the delivery man, tell him about the cracks, and ask him to come and take a look. Then I thought, “I didn’t ask him to check everything before he left, so he would naturally refuse to accept any responsibility for the matter.” Second, I could contact the supplier and tell her about the cracks. However, she would probably shift the responsibility onto the poor delivery man, who had to carry heavy goods in the heat of summer and also bear the economic loss.

In the end, I decided to accept the responsibility myself to avoid further problems for everyone involved. Despite my perfectionistic tendencies, I let go of the attachment this time, thinking, “It may not look good with cracks, but it’s fine as long as the refrigerator does its job.”

The next morning, when I went to see if the glass door was functioning well, what I saw completely challenged everything I had ever learned about physics—the glass door was in perfect condition, with absolutely no cracks to be seen!

A Lucky Traffic Accident

One day in the fall of 2024, I had to go out of town on business and decided to pay a visit to a fellow practitioner on the way home. She lives in the suburbs, and it was getting dark.

Strangely, although it was not yet time for people to get off work, there were already massive traffic jams everywhere. Whenever I saw a traffic jam at an intersection, I would try to find a detour but without much success.

Thinking it would be quite late by the time I got to her place and she might not even be home, I decided it was a waste of time and that I might as well just go with the flow and head home. So, I turned around to drive home.

At a downhill exit on a raised highway, the traffic was especially heavy. An SUV suddenly cut in front of me, swiping the area around my front wheel. My car jolted, accompanied by a loud metallic scraping sound.

The traffic lights turned red, and the SUV stopped in front of me. As it would normally take about three minutes for the lights to cycle back to green, the driver of the SUV got out to check the damage to his vehicle. He was in his 30s, of medium build, and looked pretty strong. While checking his SUV, he glanced at me from time to time. Seeing no reaction from me, he quickly got back in his SUV without saying a word to me.

In that brief period of time, my mind was jumbled with thoughts, especially when the man got back in his SUV without saying anything about scraping my car. The evil being hidden behind my attachment of resentment started acting up with some vulgar language and comments in my mind: “Do you think I don’t know you scraped my car? Do you think I’m too timid to stop you simply because you’re a strong young man?”

However, my main consciousness remained clear and firm, and I quickly decided what to do—I would use this opportunity to let go of my resentment and hatred for the man who scraped my car; I would not stop the SUV driver or call the traffic police and the insurance company to deal with this, because it would cause more delays for the vehicles behind me and worsen the traffic jam on the raised highway. I would validate the Fa principle in Master’s teaching:

“...Once you take up Dafa, whatever it is you encounter—good or bad—is a good thing...” (Teachings at the 2005 Conference in San Francisco)

The traffic light turned green again, and the young man accelerated and drove off. I followed behind at normal speed and went home. Even though I had mentally prepared myself for the damage to my car, it was much worse than I’d anticipated. The bodywork above the front wheel had been badly dented by the impact. A large area of paint above the front wheel had been scraped off, and there were scrapes on the panel below. My heart ached when I saw this, as though my own body had been scraped and damaged.

When I told my husband what had happened to the car, he didn’t say anything. Then I said, “Look, I didn’t get angry or complain about others after the accident because Master told us, ‘...whatever it is you encounter—good or bad—is a good thing...’ Although our car was scraped, it must be a good thing, even though I don’t know what that is right now.” My husband just looked at me and still didn’t say anything.

The next morning, I mentioned the damaged car again, and my husband commented, “You said you weren’t worried about the car, but I think you must be or you wouldn’t have mentioned it again.”

Three days later, I contacted a dealership and drove my car there for repairs. I said to the mechanic, “You see, the front part of the car was badly dented, but the driver’s side is completely intact and undamaged. I was very lucky!”

He replied, “You’re right—people who can take things like this in their stride are truly fortunate.”

When I told him what had happened, he said, “Losing money can help avert a greater misfortune, and suffering a loss can actually be a blessing.” I got the sense this was Master giving me a hint through the mechanic’s words.

After the damage was assessed, the receptionist said, “You’d better call your insurance company now.”

I told him, “There’s no need, because I don’t have any evidence from the scene of the accident.”

He replied, “In that case, just file an accident report without specifying the exact location. It will cost 3,000 yuan to repair the car.”

Then I said, “There’s no need to make a report, either, because I let the other driver go, and I shouldn’t ask my insurance company to pay for the repairs.” He didn’t say anything else.

Before I left, the mechanic suggested having the car serviced while I was there, saying it was always good to change the engine oil regularly. I agreed with his advice.

While the mechanic was working on the car, he suddenly yelped, “Wow! Your steering shaft has snapped! Didn’t you notice that when you were driving?”

I said in shock, “No, I didn’t notice anything wrong.”

He continued, “This is really dangerous! If you drive fast on a highway, you’re bound to have an accident!”

In the end, I paid over 4,000 yuan to have the car fixed, and everything was perfectly taken care of.

When reflecting on the incident later, apart from helping me find the snapped shaft, I wondered what Fa principles Master was trying to help me enlighten to.

While I was writing this sharing, I suddenly came to a deeper understanding that, for us Dafa practitioners, whether we encounter good things or bad things, ultimately, they are all good things.

Looking back, on the day of the accident, I realized that the reason I ran into unusually heavy traffic was because Master was helping me. If I had driven out of the city and onto the highway to visit my fellow practitioner, I would have most likely had a fatal accident due to the broken shaft.

I also remembered what the mechanic said: “People who can take things like this in their stride are truly fortunate. Losing money can help avert a greater misfortune, and suffering a loss can actually be a blessing.”

What he said hit the nail on the head. When I truly let go of the attachments of resentment and hatred, I was blessed with Master’s boundless compassion. Thank you, revered Master!
