(Clearwisdom.net) My last name is Chen and I am 50 years old. I live in a town in eastern Henan Province. In late 2009, I felt an ache in my right-lower abdomen, and I went to a hospital several times for checkups, but no cause was identified. As the days went by, the pain progressively worsened.
I went to Zhengzhou City for another checkup. This time, I was diagnosed with a kidney tumor. The doctor said I needed immediate surgery to remove the tumor, otherwise my life would be in danger. My family and I took the doctor's advice and went to the hospital to have the tumor removed. After the surgery, I thought to myself, I should be fine now! After a laboratory test, however, I was told that it was a malignant tumor, and chemotherapy would be needed right away. Suddenly, my family and I fell into an abyss of suffering. After the first chemotherapy procedure, I went back to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The result was a "death sentence!" The doctor said that seven more tumors had popped up. My family and I were completely devastated. My husband, who had never cried before, burst into tears upon hearing the news.
I went home and felt completely hopeless, and I was waiting to die. One night, I had a dream where I walked westbound on the path that leads to death. As I arrived in the middle of a river, I suddenly fell into the water. The water was so deep that it reached my neck. I shouted "Help!" and suddenly an old man appeared out of nowhere. He instantly grabbed me and pulled me out of the water. I then woke up and heard a voice saying, "Suffering is boundless, repent and be saved." Because I am illiterate, I didn't know what the saying meant, and I had to ask someone.
The next morning, my neighbor, a lady who practiced Falun Gong, came to see me. When I saw her, I felt as though she was an old relative whom I hadn't seen for a long time. I was crying. She comforted me and told me, among other things, about the miraculous healing power of Falun Gong, how the government has made a mistake in trying to eradicate the practice, and how practitioners just try to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Before she left my house, told me to recite "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good." She said this would bring me good fortune when I encountered problems.
I recited "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good" over and over as I lay on the bed. After two days, I felt like I wanted to eat something and I was able to fall asleep easily (before that time I couldn't sleep or eat anything). A few days later, I felt that I had regained my physical strength and wanted to get out of bed. My husband was worrying about me and told me to go to the hospital for a checkup. The result was amazingly unexpected. The doctor happily told me that there was only one tumor left in my kidney. He asked me if I had sought treatment methods other than chemotherapy and said, "This is truly a miracle!"
After I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my family the good news. I saw a happy smile on their faces. My neighbor (the Falun Gong practitioner) came to see me again. After she heard the news, she was very happy and said, "This is because you have sincerely recited 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good.' The person who spoke to you after you woke up from the dream was Master. From now on, not only should you recite 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good', but you should also follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and become a good person. If you do this, you will soon recover completely. By now you should know what the words 'Suffering is boundless, repent and be saved' mean. It is to say that the human dimension is like a boundless abyss of suffering. Only when you can follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and become a good person, can you be saved." My husband, who was sitting next to me, burst into tears again. My children asked him why he was crying. He said, "I am just so happy now. I don't know why I'm crying. Falun Gong is simply too good to be true! We must start learning the practice!"
Ms. Chen and her husband have now started practicing Falun Gong.
