I'm a relatively new practitioner. I began the practice of Falun Dafa in 2001. Before becoming a practitioner, I had hepatitis B, which is a very hard disease to cure. For a young girl like me, the disease gave me very little hope for my life. I had tried both Western and Chinese medicines, even a special home remedy, but the symptoms became even worse. My heart and body were tortured by the disease and in less than six months, my medical expenses exceeded five thousand Yuan. My parents worried about my disease and its impact on my feelings, but at the same time they were running around trying to finance the treatments.
During this extremely difficult time for my family, one of my classmates told me the true story about Falun Dafa. I understood the truth of the self-immolation, which was arranged by the government at Tiananmen Square and the situation about Falun Dafa flourishing around the world. My classmate hoped that I could learn Falun Gong and told me that Falun Gong had proved to be very effective in improving health and it also teaches people to become good people and to raise their moral standard. Even though I was still suffering from hepatitis B, my heart was moved and I wanted to get started.
My classmate gave me the book Zhuan Falun and told me that it is not an ordinary book, that it has a very profound theory behind it, and he asked me to be calm when reading the book. When I finished reading the "Lunyu" introductory page, I really felt it to be a profound statement. After reading the whole book, my mind was suddenly opened up and I understood that the contents of the whole book are to teach people how to become better people. Therefore I repeatedly read the book and every time I did, my body felt very light and my mind was very peaceful and comfortable. From the book, I understood a lot of questions about life that cannot be easily explained, such as why people get sick, why they encounter difficulties, and why good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.
Gradually I forgot about my illness and could not let go of Dafa. I followed the book's teaching to become a better person and to work hard to assimilate to the principle of "Zhen, Shan, Ren." Time went by very fast. I became a completely healthy person without any illnesses. The miracle of Dafa has been shown to me and its principles have taught me how to become a truly better person. I cannot express how grateful I am to Dafa and Teacher.
The change in my health and heart has affected my parents, relatives, and friends. My friends told me that I have changed, my temper has improved, and I have become a more kind-hearted person. When I clarified the truth to people, my mother would tell people about Dafa's effect on me first before I could say anything. My mother is very happy and all my family members are very thankful for the good fortune that Dafa has brought to us.
I would like to use my personal experience to tell those people who were misled by evil propaganda or campaigns that Falun Dafa is the righteous way, and is a wonderful cultivation method that only comes once. I hope all kind-hearted people will not be misled by all the evil propaganda and will come to understand what Falun Dafa is really about.
