(Clearwisdom.net) Before I started cultivation practice, I had many types of diseases, including cerebral arteriosclerosis, autonomic disorders, ischemia, neuralgia, tuberculosis, cholecystitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Except for my feet, all my other body parts had disease. I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I gradually became only skin and bones. Later, I wasn't even able to take care of myself.
One day in mid-October 1998, my daughter came to me and said, "Mom, if you practice Falun Gong, you'll be cured without taking any medicine or having injections."
I thought, "I've had those diseases for so many years. How could I be cured by practicing Falun Gong without medicine or injections? Perhaps I should practice Falun Gong. Maybe Master will also purify my body." So I agreed to start practicing Falun Gong.
The next day, my daughter brought me the book Zhuan Falun and taught me the exercises.
After I first got the book Zhuan Falun, I finished reading "Lecture One." On the second day, my body had some reactions, and I felt very uncomfortable. So I told my husband about this. He said, "You just started reading the book, we don't know yet whether Master Li has started to take care of you or not. Maybe you should take some more medicine or have an injection?" I told him that I wouldn't need that, and that Master had said in the book,
"When those who truly practice cultivation on their own read this Dafa, I will clean out their bodies as well. In addition, your home environment must also be cleaned." ("Lecture Three" from Zhuan Falun)
I thought, "Didn't it mean that Master was purifying my body when I felt uncomfortable?" So I continued to study the Fa. Two days later, the reactions in my body disappeared, and I felt very light and comfortable.
As I studied the Fa and did the exercises more and more, my body constantly improved, and my understanding of the world also changed. I no longer had doubts about Falun Gong, and I became determined in my mind to practice.
In the past, I thought that as long as I didn't steal, and treated others kindly, did things fairly, and didn't take advantage of people, I was being a good person. However, after studying the Fa, I realized that my own criteria for being a good person was far from meeting Master's requirements for practitioners.
Now when I have conflicts with other people, I first look within for my attachment, and then I correct my mentality instead of fighting with other people.
Before I started cultivating, I often fought with my daughter-in-law over minor personal interests. After I started practicing Falun Gong, I no longer fight with her. Even if she says something offensive, I remind myself that Master requires practitioners to value virtue, and I recall the principle of "no loss, no gain." I can then endure the conflict without becoming angry.
All of my diseases disappeared about 20 days after I started practicing Falun Gong. I finally experienced what it felt like to be disease-free with a light body. Even when I do some heavy labor or walk a long distance, I no longer feel tired.
Witnessing the changes in me, my husband also started to practice cultivation. He previously had severe osteophytes in his neck. After he began practicing Dafa, Master purified his body and he no longer needed medicine. He is now full of strength and can even do some heavy labor.
After witnessing Dafa's supernatural power, we shared our experiences with our relatives, neighbors, and colleagues. Seeing the changes in me, they all came to believe that Falun Dafa is good, and several of them have also started practicing Dafa. I brought them the precious book Zhuan Falun and taught them the exercises. My house has become a small practice site to study the Fa and do the exercises. After their bodies have recovered and their moral standards have improved, they also shared their experiences with people around them, so more people know that Falun Dafa is good and that the persecution is unfounded.
I sincerely hope others out there don't miss the chance to benefit from practicing Falun Dafa too!
