(Clearwisdom.net) Before I learned Falun Dafa in March 1999, I was practically a vegetable because of complications from a surgery. I was only conscious for about four or five hours a day. The rest of the time I could neither hear nor speak, and was totally paralyzed and bedridden.
When I first found Falun Dafa, I thought it was merely a physical exercise. One day about a month later, I was doing some cleaning at home during the time when I was able to move around, and without realizing it, I had worked from nine o'clock in the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon. I sat down to drink some water, but I did not feel tired at all. Thus, I realized that I had recovered. I could not find words to express my gratitude.
Later some miracles happened with my child. Once my two-year-old child had been coughing for two days in a row and couldn't sleep at night. My husband and I decided to take him to the hospital the following morning. Before going to the hospital in the morning, I went to the practice site with my child like usual, but I held him rather than doing the exercises. We went home afterwards with fellow practitioners, and I noticed that he had stopped coughing after breakfast, and he was fine for the whole day and night.
A week later, he had a fever. At night, I just gave him water a couple of times and he was better in the morning. His fever was gone after some sweating. This was the second time that he recovered without any medical treatment.
At that time, I had just only been reading Zhuan Falun for a month and hadn't developed a thorough understanding of the Fa yet. I asked the teaching assistant at my practice site about the miracles that happened to my child, and the assistant told me that one person's practicing the Fa would benefit the whole family.
Some other miracles mentioned in the book happened to me, too. I was able to sit in full lotus position in meditation after two weeks, but my right foot hurt so much that I couldn't stand on it for a while afterward. I was determined to continue meditating in spite of the pain, and was ready for more pain the next day. Surprisingly, once I crossed my legs, I felt that something invisible was rotating at the painful spot and the pain disappeared. Later at that night, I felt the same thing rotating on my hands, too, when I conjoined them as I was doing the meditation. Fellow practitioners told me it was the falun (law wheel). I thought this was wonderful and that there really were falun. After another 10 days or so, I felt like I was sitting in an egg shell when meditating, so beautiful and comfortable, just as the book says.
Once my child was playing with rice and I told him to stop several times, but he didn't listen. I got so mad that I was about to hit him, but when my hand was about an inch above his head, it hit another hand that was invisible but warm. My anger went away immediately. The words from the book came to my mind:
"You should not be that way in disciplining children, and neither should you, yourselves get really upset. You should educate children with reason so that you can really teach them well. If you cannot even get over a trifle and lose your temper easily, how can you expect to increase your gong?" (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
Then I asked the child if he understood that what he had done wrong, and he changed his attitude and said, "Mom, I was wrong ..." I told him not to do it anymore.
My mind had been full of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) ideas before I started cultivation at the age of 29. I wouldn't believe anything that I hadn't seen with my own eyes. But what happened in my life changed my mind and I began to believe in the miracles, which made me diligent in practicing the exercises and studying the Fa. I went to every available practice site if I could, one site in the morning, another site in the afternoon, and a third site in the evening. I brought my child with me every time and he listened to the Fa while he was playing beside me. It was hot in the summer, but I could a feel cool breeze while carrying my child to the practice site. Yet there was no evidence of wind, because the leaves did not shake in the trees.
Knowing the Fa is good, I seize every minute to study it, even during the most difficult times. My husband and I were both laid off, and my husband had to stay in bed because of a foot injury. We didn't have the money for him to go to the hospital. After I recovered from a near vegetative state after a month of practicing the Fa, I found a job that allowed me to leave my child at the daycare. After I obtained the Fa, not only have I regained my health, but I also got a new job to support our family.
Since July 20, 1999, the media has spread the lie that our Teacher was collecting money. I know that 990f the fellow practitioners around me had previously had diseases, and I saw with my own eyes that nobody had given our Teacher a penny for improving our health. I witnessed the wonderfulness of Dafa and our Teacher, and I know that what the CCP says about Dafa and our Teacher are lies.
Thinking of these things brings tears to my eyes. I can't find any words to express how grateful I am to Teacher for having saved my life. I will do the three things well like Teacher requires, and be more diligent in cultivation.
