(Clearwisdom.net) In April 2004, my uncle told me that practicing Falun Dafa is beneficial for one's health. I said that if he thought it was good then he should try it for himself. At the time, he mentioned that it was not easy to find a copy of Zhuan Falun. Soon, I obtained a book from a friend and gave it to him but he said that he had already obtained one.
I didn't think I would start practicing Falun Dafa back then. I don't have much education and have poor enlightenment quality so I did not believe in anything back then. Later I told one of my friends this and they suggested that I should at least read Zhuan Falun first before making any judgment. He also spoke quite highly of the book and suggested that since I obtained the book in the way that I had, I probably had a predestined relationship.
I took his advice and began reading Zhuan Falun and learned the five sets of exercises. Two days later, I felt Falun rotating. I knew that Teacher had already started purifying my body.
I used to have many illnesses. I had acute insomnia, and I was very sensitive to cold even in the summertime, especially in my knees and in the joints of my hands. Thus, I could not wear short sleeves in summer and couldn't touch cold water. Fluid often gathered in my knee and I had to get the fluid extracted. As a result, I went to many hospitals, took lots of medications, and spent an enormous amount of money. However, this did not ease my suffering.
Less than two months after I had started practicing Falun Dafa, all my pain disappeared miraculously. Teacher gave me a healthy mind and body and I experienced many miracles. For example, one night, I hurt my ankle while walking and I forgot to treat myself as a practitioner at the time. I insisted on walking around so that pain would eventually ease.
However, when I returned home, I experienced more pain in my foot. I could not fall asleep and I sent forth righteous thoughts at midnight even though I had pain in my foot. I persisted in sitting in full lotus as I sent forth righteous thoughts. After I did this, the pain subsided completely.
I am immensely grateful to our great Teacher! Our compassionate Teacher had endured a lot for me. Realizing this, I have tears in my eyes and I feel that I am within Teacher's mercy at every moment.
My husband personally witnessed the marvels of Dafa as well, and also became a Falun Dafa practitioner. Before he started practicing Falun Gong, he had to retire early because he had many health problems and he had to take medication all the time. He only could walk a few steps due to recurring foot injuries. As he walked, he periodically had to stop and take a short rest before walking further. He also had lithiasis since 1994, so each year, he had to go to the hospital to get the stones removed. He spent a lot of money on medication but could not eliminate his condition completely. Each time, the excruciating pain caused him to writhe on the ground. It was hard to witness because there was nothing I could do to help him.
Through practicing Falun Dafa, all of his diseases disappeared. He is also immensely grateful to Teacher! Every morning after he gets up, the first thing that he does is offer incense to Teacher.
In the past, my husband always felt that life was unfair because he had less of an income due to his early retirement. Now he says that he has obtained the Fa, and that is worth more than all the money in the world.
