(Clearwisdom.net) Countless Dafa disciples have personally experienced how Falun Dafa is good. The following are some stories that I've personally experienced or witnessed. I would like to share them with you.
Obtaining the Fa Seemingly by Accident
In May 1996, I felt extremely tired for several days. In order to rejuvenate myself, I wanted to exercise in the morning, which is what I used to do when I was at school. So I started jogging at 6:00 a.m. every morning.
A week later, when I was running down a flight of stairs, I almost crashed into an older lady. She was heading home in a rush. She asked me with a smile, "Where are you going?" "I am going running," I replied. "Running? Why don't you go to learn Falun Gong?" "Is it good?" I asked. I was quite interested in qigong when I was at school. Yet I had also heard that some qigong practices were fake, so I expressed my concern. My neighbor assured me, "Falun Gong is really good. I learned it just two months ago and my heart disease is gone." The lady was a retired worker and I had heard that her heart condition was very serious. She barely had the energy to even cook, and if she pushed herself too hard, she would fall ill. I expressed my amazement, "Really?" She really did look different-- her complexion had become rosy and healthy looking, and she could even run around. She asked, "Your wife has heart disease, doesn't she? Master's lectures will be played tonight. Let's go together, okay?" I enthusiastically said, "Okay!" and then I went running.
My wife had suffered heart disease for five to six years. She tried Chinese medicine and all kinds of healing methods but nothing helped. Sometimes her condition would be better for a week, but soon after she would fall ill again. When her illness worsened, she had an irregular heartbeat. At night, she was too uncomfortable to sleep. During that period of time, we were both in our thirties. When we heard that the lady had her heart condition healed by learning Falun Gong, we were full of hope.
That night, my wife went with the lady to learn Falun Gong. By the time she returned, I had already fallen asleep. She woke me up and looked very excited. "This qigong is so good. We have been searching for the true meaning of life and now I've found it! Come with me tomorrow!" I agreed. She spent that entire night finishing reading Zhuan Falun. The next morning, we went together to the exercise site. She began learning the exercises while I read the introduction, and we both finished at the same time. I felt at the time that this qigong was totally different from others since it taught people to improve their moral character or {{xinxing}} and be good people. From then on, we began cultivation in Dafa.
One night two weeks later, my wife's stomach suddenly hurt and it was getting worse. She lay writhing in pain on the bed. She said, "It seriously hurts, what should we do?" I said, "Let's study the Fa and take the Fa as our teacher. If you really can't stand it, then we can go to the hospital." Later on, it got worse. So I told her that I would meditate with her to encourage her. Although I said this, we had just begun practicing and I wasn't entirely confident. We just wanted to try. By morning the pain was gone. After that, her heart condition began to improve. A month later, it was totally gone. Her enterospasm (an intense, painful contraction of the intestines) was also gone. This is a testament to the wonders of Dafa.
Learning the Basics
When I first entered the workforce after attending school, I was very strict with money. I worked at the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision and many people used different methods to establish good relationships with me. Some even offered me money, but I wouldn't take it. When I saw others take government money and put it into their own pockets, I knew it was wrong. Especially when I went out with my boss, I saw them buy things using government money. Gradually, because of contamination from the big dye vat of ordinary human society, I also began to slide down, and took advantage of government funds. But after I began cultivating I stopped doing those bad things.
I once went to Zhengzhou City on business and invited my teacher for dinner. It cost 750 yuan, and if I hadn't started cultivation, I would have definitely asked for a government reimbursement. But after I paid the bill and received the receipt, I realized that a Dafa disciple should behave according to Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance. So I tore the receipt into pieces.
The next day, Master purified my body and my body felt relaxed and at ease.
The Change in My Mother
My mother is 83 years old and very healthy. She is able to completely take care of herself, which is something I could not have imagined ten years ago. When I was young, she had all kinds of illnesses. When she took one type of medicine for one illness, another illness would get worse. When she took a different type of medicine, the first illness would get worse.
In 1997, when I returned home to celebrate the Chinese New Year, I told my mother how miraculous Falun Gong was, and how many people had benefited from it. Later on, Master's lectures were played in my home and an exercise site was also set up. Two dozen people came every day to learn Dafa. My mother didn't read a word, but she listened to Master's lectures. She asked others to read the Fa to her so that she could learn the words one by one. She then began to recognize the words. After she finished Lunyu and two more pages, her illnesses were gone.
Right after the Chinese New Year, having heard that Falun Dafa was so good, many people in the neighborhood came to learn. Many miracles happened when I was spreading the Fa. I can cite three examples.
We were invited one day to take Master's video lectures to my aunt's daughter's home. When we arrived, her backyard was full of people, waiting for us. We found some chairs and mats and arranged them so that everyone could sit down.
Zhouxing, a seventy-two-year-old man, asked me, "Can Falun Gong make me healthier?" I asked, "What kind of illness do you have?" "I have a bad cough," he said, "...and I have spent the whole winter lying in bed. Sometimes I can't even breathe. Every day, my wife cooks for me and I move to the edge of the bed. Then I keep coughing. When I go to wash my face and go to have a meal, I still cough. My wife had to put me on her tricycle so I could come here." He coughed as he was explaining his situation. I assured him, "It doesn't matter. If you follow what Master says, you will get better."
We played one lecture each day, and when the ninth one was finished, we decided that the next day we would share with each other our own experiences and the changes we observed in ourselves. The next afternoon, I came quite early for preparations and to put out some chairs. But to my surprise, Zhouxing, the elderly gentleman, was already there getting the courtyard ready. I asked him, "Are you okay?" He smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine!" During the experience sharing, he cried and described the illnesses he had before and the changes he had now experienced. Listening to his story, many people shed tears.
After playing Master's lectures there, we went to another one of my relatives' home. He is a doctor in the village. When we were playing the second lecture in the yard, there was an old lady inside the house who was on an IV, but she could hear the lecture. I walked in and saw that she was very uncomfortable, so I asked her, "What happened to you?" "I don't know exactly what it is. Maybe it is my stomach problem. I haven't taken any medicine for three days. I haven't eaten for more than ten days. The last several times when it hurt, I almost died from the pain." I asked her, "Can you hear Master's lectures?" "Yes," she said. I said, "Please listen to them carefully. If you listen with an open mind, it may very well help you." "Okay," she said. She listened to Master's lecture as she was having the intravenous drips. The next day, she didn't come for the IV, but instead came directly to the yard to listen to Master's lectures.
After nine days, when it came to the tenth day when we shared our experiences, she was the most excited, and laughed happily. "Falun Gong is so good! Not only am I healed, but I also can take in more food. The day before yesterday, when I finished my dinner, I also finished my husband's meal. When I went to my son's home, I was still hungry, so I ate more. Lately, I love celery so much. I couldn't digest celery at all in the past. But now I want more after I eat some." Many people who heard her story and witnessed her miraculous changes expressed their joy. "Falun Gong is so good! I will cultivate diligently to repay Master's grace of saving my life."
We once had a small experience sharing conference of 300 to 400 people, and were about to finish when a lady said that a new female practitioner wanted to share something.
She burst into tears after only a few words. She cried throughout her experience sharing and the people present also cried. The mood changed from sadness to happiness. Before taking up cultivation, she had believed in other religions. Her illnesses was so severe that she felt that she'd rather be dead than alive. She had spent many years going to the hospital countless times and taken all kinds of medicine. At one point, she ran out of money and couldn't afford her child's tuition.
Her sister learned Falun Dafa and suggested many times that she learn it, but she didn't agree due to her belief in other religions. Her sister saw that she was suffering and tried to persuade her to learn Dafa again and again, but she wouldn't. Finally, she stopped believing in those religions and followed her sister to learn Dafa. Within a month of learning Dafa, she was totally healed.
Surviving After Being Run Over
Many of my aunt's relatives learned Falun Dafa. One of her in-laws is in his sixties and works with several workers at his son's brickyard.
One day during a summer, right after lunch, this older relative came across some people standing in a large group. They were standing beside a four-wheeled tractor whose engine was running. A man was sitting in the tractor. My aunt's relative asked the man to move the tractor forward a little bit. "I don't know how," he said, as he was about to get out of the tractor. "What? Everyone in our village knows how. Just move it forward and then we can begin working." He changed gears carefully, pushed the accelerator and released the clutch.
Whoosh! The tractor went straight forward and drove right over the older relative. The wheels dug into his abdomen, the left side of his chest, and his shoulders. His children saw him being run over by the tractor and shouted loudly, "Someone's injured! Stop! Stop!" The man quickly put the tractor into reverse and drove back. The relative was thus run over twice. He immediately lost consciousness.
His children immediately picked him up, put him onto a horse-drawn cart, and sped down the road. After 100 meters, their father got up and said, "What are we doing here?" Surprised, they answered, "You were just run over by the tractor!" He said, "No, I'm fine, I'm fine. I have learned Falun Dafa, and I won't have any problems." But they still forced him to go to the hospital. After several tests, the doctors said that he was totally fine.
Dafa's Compassion Toward Sentient Beings
Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999, many Chinese people have been deceived by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lies, and have misunderstandings about Dafa. During the process of clarifying the truth, many people have learned the facts, understood that Falun Dafa is good and have been blessed.
One day when I was riding on a bus, a lady who was in her sixties vomited repeatedly due to motion sickness. I noticed that there was no one sitting next to her, so I sat there. "You must feel so terrible from the motion sickness. I have an idea. If you believe it, maybe you will feel better." She said, "Okay. Tell me." I told her the facts about Dafa and finally asked her to sincerely recite "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance is good." She recited it while leaning back against the back of her seat.
About five minutes later, she became excited and said, "Oh yes, this works very quickly. Falun Dafa is really good! I no longer feel uncomfortable. My whole body feels well. From now on, I won't believe anything else and I will believe in Falun Dafa!"
Examples like this are countless, and almost every Dafa practitioner has experienced such miracles. "Falun Dafa is good" is a sincere feeling that comes from our hearts. I hope that everyone will come to know the truth of Dafa and be blessed by Dafa.
