(Clearwisdom.net) I am seventy years old and have never received any formal education. I was very fortunate to be able to attend the second and third sessions of Master's Fa lectures held in Wuhan in 1993, as well as the 1994 Fa lecture in Jinan.
Before attending the second Fa lecture in Wuhan City in March 1993, I listened to three other lectures given by Master. I immediately felt that Master was teaching something out of the ordinary, and much higher than the other qigong practices I used to follow. I began to ask around about Master's lectures, and when I finally found one, I registered immediately.
Ten days later, I sat and looked at the banner reading "Spreading Righteous Fa Obtaining Righteous Attainment Achieving Consummation". I felt extraordinary while listening to Master's Fa and decided that this practice was very good. Everyday, all of us would concentrate on listening to Master teaching the Fa and learning the five exercises at the end of the session.
I used to suffer from many diseases, including kidney stones and hyperthyroidism. The examination result of my white blood cells and red blood cells had three plus signs. On the second day of the class, a miracle occurred. All my diseases were healed and I felt almost weightless while walking. After ten days, I was totally changed and whenever I walked, I could feel myself being pulled forward. The excitement and appreciation I felt was and still is indescribable.
I sat in the eleventh row, and there was another young female student behind me who also had kidney stones. She came to the class after her mother-in-law in Beijing had called her, telling her that a Master Li from Beijing was coming to Wuhan to spread a very good Fa and made her promise to join the class. She came half-heartedly. On the fourth day before class, a few disciples who accompany Master came to her and after asking about her problems, laid their hands on her back. The next day, she brought with her two yellowish-brown stones as big as beans. The practitioners around her were very happy and excited. Everyone began to believe more in Master and in the greatness of Dafa.
Master said that he would only teach the Fa and not perform any demonstrations. There was a young man sitting in our row who said that he loved watching qigong performances. But when he saw the two kidney stones, he saw the magnificence of Dafa. He stayed for the entire ten lectures, not once talking about demonstrations.
One of my neighbors is also a practitioner. She was listening to the Changjiang Economics Radio Station one day when a compassionate voice rose out of the radio: ''Think of a place in your body where you have sickness and relax yourself.'' This practitioner had a stiff neck, so she thought of this area. Immediately, her neck was cured. She jumped up in excitement. The next day she found the Fa-teaching class and everyone she met would hear about the miracle she had experienced. She would say: ''This practice is simply too good!'' She also came to Master's second Fa lecture in Wuhan City and began cultivation. In the past thirteen years, she has been illegally arrested and imprisoned; however, with her strong faith in Master and Dafa, she is still walking her path.
It was arranged that a week after the class finished, students could take pictures with Master and also get his signature. Wuhan City in March is very hot, and Master was signing and having pictures taken with students simultaneously. While Master was signing, the practitioners crowded around layer by layer. It must have been very warm in the middle. However, Master always bore a compassionate smile. I was standing at one side and after seeing the hardship that Master was bearing, was very touched deep inside my heart. I waited until all the other practitioners left before going for Master's signature myself, thinking that this Master is truly great.
For the past thirteen years, I have cultivated in Dafa, especially so in the past seven years of brutal persecution by the evil. I have walked till today with my strong righteous faith in Master and Dafa. In order to validate the Fa, I traveled with fellow practitioners to Beijing on October 30, 1999; On January 3, 2000 I came to the appeals office once again. However, the office was blocked off by lots of police cars and more than fifty plain-clothed policemen. I did not bother with them at all and simply recited Master's poem, "Benevolent Might"
Dafa is what you carry everywhere,
Zhen Shan Ren, rooted in the mind;
A great Arhat walks the earth,
Gods and demons fear with awe.
January 6, 1996
As I walked forward, everyone in front and behind were stopped by the policemen, but I seemed to be invisible to them and they even moved out of my way. In this way, I arrived at the appeals office. Other practitioners who came with me told me later: ''You seem to have floated effortlessly into the office.'' In the past few years, I have steadily done the three things.
By writing this today, I hope to validate the greatness of Master, the righteousness of Dafa and to validate history. Fellow practitioners, we have to treasure this most precious opportunity to do the three things well.
